Here is a video of how subaru's AWD system compares to other manufactures. Would have been interesting to see evo vs sti on the road courses though. The announcer is pretty lame..

First time post. Looks like a great forum. The video may have been a bit biased, but what I enjoyed seeing was the real world tests like accident avoidance. Especially the Volvo in the wet conditions. I was always skeptical about the real world performance of electronic FWD based AWD systems like in the Volvo and Toyota. Looks like the response times of the computer and electronic clutches leave a bit to be desired in response time. Great vid and thanks for having me on the board. :)

simple. this isnt a evo vs sti awd battle.. its to show people(general public) how great the awd system in subarus compared to SUV, family sedans, etc. and even if mistu was in the video, what are they gona show? an outlander awd? im sure everyone knows that the only AWD system worth buying and have something goin for mitsu is the evo. but if we talk suv, passenger cars etc. subaru would own any car on mitsu's line up interms of awd. this is the whole point of the vid. not sti. not evo. its for the genreal public.

Gay ass vid for me. If I dont see an EVO or STI or some kind of kick ass car, it doesn't count! :D
