Nahh guys, the new commercials just have me wondering about an asymmetrical
driveline vs asymmetrical torque bias....

What really got me curious was those subies that had "Real-time 
AWD"....I wanted
to see a "time-sharing AWD" system, ( I probably would have killed to 
see a working
"batch-mode" driveline).
