So, the owners of the MB 4-matics have the best of both worlds?

Well, only if there is a constant torque-split of roughly 37:63 biased towards the rear (which there isn't)

Nobody (except FORD) have this system any more, which is why all all-wheel-drive cars handling is so depressingly dull.

On snow, pretty well ANY All-wheel-drive system gives you an advantage, but for rear-wheel-drive handling characteristics, you have to go for that torque split............

Jensen knew what they were doing back in '66......
