#4938 of 4940 Audi - active rear diff by ateixeira Sep 11, 2009 (3:44 pm)
Just read about this new addition to the S4 and S5 models, so they're catching up to Acura and BMW. I'd still pick the BMW or Audi system over Acura's, both of which are rear-biased. Replies to this message: ateixeira (Sep 24, 2009 9:33 am)

My former Jeep had quadra-drive. It could send 100% torque to any one wheel during slip conditions. I used low range once, but didn't really need it.
