[s-cars] future of awd

[Taka Mizutani]

Gauge isn't going to help when the Haldex overheats and shuts down, though.

I think the "lock" that Justy is talking about would be the solution, if it
is implementable.

The P2 isn't the safest car out there- the B7 A4 and C6 A6 outscore the
Volvo S60/V70 in both front and side impact. Audi makes the safest car out
there right now.

I know you're joking about the safety thing- most Volvo drivers are
booooring. That's why Volvo dropped the R models- no interest from potential
Volvo buyers. The people buying the Rs are most likely converts from another
brand- Audi, VW, BMW, Saab, etc.
