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.
If you don't see the need for it, don't reply. I was just curious if you had any knowledge you were willing to impart on us other than opinion derived from drawings. I said you sound dumb because you're basing your opinion off of nothing other than drawings and have no technical fact/analysis to back it up. Read what I said please. I'm not trying to be argumentative. My point is that you're needlessly nitpicking. I'm not defending Honda. I'm probably going to go to work for General Motors as early as this summer, I don't ride Honda's sack. But I do give engineers and the men that be all the respect in the world, and am smart enough to realize that Honda wouldn't design a system with such "obvious" defects in it. Clearly, the system is designed the way it is for a reason. They didn't just design this off the top of their head. Like I said, you can bet your ass they studied said Subaru's AWD system down to every bolt.
This discussion really isn't very heated. It's a regular discussion. Without such "discussion", this forum would be a veeeeery boring place.
