In my opinion, it makes you sound dumb to nitpick the system based on the schematic drawings and 3D diagrams of the system that were povided by Honda. "In theory" doesn't mean much in the real world of automotive design. If it did, automobile engines would have a much higher efficiency than 25% or so, for example.
I don't see the need for this.
Honda may know what they're doing, or they may not. This is Honda's first attempt at a high-tech, non-FWD luxury sedan...Forgive me for being skeptical.
I'm not trying to be a know-it-all prick. I suck at math and physics, so I give those engineers all due respect. Just the same, there are other systems out there (Subaru) that seem to make more sense in terms of design to a layman such as myself.
Additionally, I'm not attacking Honda or their idealogy or methods or...
I'm not sure why the discussion is getting this heated. You said I sound dumb because I took personal issue with the design of their system...Well, excuse me. If I said Honda's system sucks balls and they were stupid for trying to create a luxury AWD sedan, maybe you would have a case.
