Yeah, I'm sure you know much more about 4wd systems than Gavin Skilten. Write him a letter and explain it to him.
Because a minivan derived FWD based AWD system with a heavy FWD bias is far superior to all of those RWD based AWD systems huh? please
And as for your sig "At the North American International Auto Show in Detroit earlier this month, Bob Lutz, GM’s vice chairman, brought a large contingent to inspect Ridgeline. He told Flint: It’s the best “packaging” of any vehicle he has ever seen, meaning the best layout and use of space.
Lutz praises competitors sparingly, especially those from abroad." that sounds like the most back-handed, sarcastic compliment I've ever heard. I can imagine Lutz thinking, "I've got all these people and cameras watching me look at this pos and I have to say something nice so i don't come off as being a jerk so I guess I could say it has the best...... um.... packaging I've ever seen". It's like when a little kid comes home with a crappy drawing they made in school, instead of telling them it sucks you tell them it's very unique looking.
