Optional push button 4WD?
I know that GMC, Chevrolet, and another company makes vehicles that come with options that allow the driver to select either 2WD or 4WD with a push of a button.
My Chevrolet Suburban has that option but I was wondering if any other car companies have the same option? I want the option of 4WD but I don't want it on all the time. I was hoping that compact SUVs such as RAV4 or the Subaru Forester might have this option but it seems like they don't. I haven't heard of any sedan type or hatchback cars having this option either. Please tell me there are smaller cars with this option. |

Re: Optional push button 4WD?
AMC Eagles had a AWD switch on the dash. I've personally always thought the Eagles to be the coolest little wagon/hatchbacks around. Many credit the Eagle as the first crossover SUV.
Sadly, you'll have trouble finding one in good condition, as the last Eagle was produced in the late 80's, prior to Chrysler dissolving the AMC marque. The Eagle nameplate was then used as an all new make, which was really nothing more then a lame front to sell re-branded Mitsubishi models. (Talon anyone?) Also, antilock brakes, air bags, navigation systems, etc are obviously not present in an 80's car. Still, they're sweet little rides. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMC_Eagle
