Your use of the regular google & Wikipedia shows that your arguments lack technical credibility.
The study I mentioned is not freely available. If you were involved in appropriate research at a suitable university you may be able to get access.
The information that you have posted appears to be not much more than marketing mumbo-jumbo. The is no raw data nor experimentation details. Using the argument that a particular company does this or that proves nothing.
you provided a reference and claimed it was the end all be all study, yet you cannot give details on it?

Actually when i was a part of a research group that did experiments in Germany 5 years ago we had a state of the art technical testing lab. We had access to ice and dirt tracks as well as road courses, the project was funded by the top names in the automotive industries. We found that the affects of AWD was not beneficial to road courses and repeated this results several times with a 99% confidence level. of course this study is not available to the general public and i should ask you to take my word for it because this study was done after your study.
