maybe if some of the domestic automakers looked forward to the future and tried to work on next gen 4wd systems from the getgo, instead of having their headz in their rebate asses, this wouldn't be such a problem it is now....

If u guys read more abt the VTM-4 (the 4wd mechanism employed in the pilot and mdx), the more u'll be impressed by it...Vtm-4 works well on and off road (relatively) and does not add much weight like conventional 4wd/awd systems, which minimizes weight and fuel economy penalties....
