I recieved a brochure from Audi last week convincing me to buy the 
A4 (don't know how they got my address). In that they talk briefly
about EDL. Apparently the Torsen differential does not transfer
torque to individual wheels that are slipping but between front and back.
EDL transfers torque to individual wheels. That's what I understood 
but I might be TOTALLY off. 

Anyone else care to comment ??
