Replying to: paisan (Apr 18, 2008 5:22 pm) Huh????   Are you referring to VTD? I know you're a host & all, but - I've never once seen Subaru use "ABLS" in ANY of their nomenclature.   I agree with the rest of your comment. Considering it's about a $400 (retail) upgrade & that it's now standard in the Forester, it's likely that VDC will become standard throughout the line. Suby uses VTD in their higher-end / high torque engines/tranny configurations. (Yes, mechanical clutch pack & planetary gearset center differential.)

Replying to: epgolfs (Jun 10, 2008 11:03 am) ABLS- It's included with VDC, it uses the ABS system to stop a slipping wheel, ABLS is not the nomenclature used by Subaru, however that's what it is. Everyone has a version of it, MB uses it in all their cars in place of an LSD, etc.   -mike
