AWD systems......

[Grant Lenahan]

Be careful with those comparisons. I would guess that the tire size and 
type were very different.
And good tires make more difference than quattro in the yukky stuff.

For instance, the TT would have very wide tires on a light-ish car. 
Probably summer tires too.  Fughgedabodit.
