Audi vs. Subaru

[Todd Phenneger]

 Is Subaru closing on AUDI?   No, I dont think so.  Subaru is closing yes, they used to be like 8 years behind, now they are only a few but they are still a different class.  Their interiors are MUCH better but still no Audi, same wiht the rest of the car.  Closing on Volvo though maybe.   

   As for the AWD systems, I would agree on everything.  But I want to mention one thing.  I do believe that in the context you used the 55/45 split on new Outbacks would be interpreted as 55% front.  I believe (through numerous magazine tests but they are wrong sometimes) that it is 55% rearward biased on the new cars.  Again, I could be wrong.  

   Either way though, I agree, its a Very close second to the Audi system.

Actually the 2000 Outback automatic splits the torque 90-10 with the 90 to
the front. However you could also order rear limited slip as an option. The
2001 Outback VDC H6 is certainly the more sophisticated system with a 55-45
bias. Nonetheless I doubt that the average driver could tell the difference.
Like the Audi, the AWD sensation is seamless, however I still feel that
Audi's system is more sophisticated but that VDC system must come damned
close.

BTW is Subaru closing in on Audi territory?
