Volvo AWD
I read that the new Volvo AWD system was designed by Porsche and based on
their new system, which is a viscous coupling rather than a torsen system
like quattro. VWs own Syncro is pretty much the same system. Because of
this, I would bet in the dry the Volvo system might perform better and is
defiinitely lighter, but in the wet Quattro may be better. I'll wait and
see what the mags say about it, but it kinda stinks that Volvo is making a
new awd system that VW has been missing the boat with atleast in the US.
Atleast the US spec TT will have syncro.
