Re: 4WD vs AWD

what about "full time 4WD" as used in the 80 series land cruisers for example?
STI have an electronically manipulated viscous coupling centre diff that allows the driver to dial in from 70/30 to 50/50 torque distribution but the standard subies are stuck at around 60/40 standard.. but they are AWD.
also some AWD cars actually drive front wheels not back.
there's a bit more to it.
