They showed the world the advantage of all four clawing for traction in the rally world, and very much, led the way for everyone else.

    I think what makes the Isuzu Torque-on-Demand system meaningfully different is the rear wheel bias. Said differently, it puts the torque where the traction would do the most good for cornering ability. When a vehicle accelerates out of the apex of a turn, all the monentum and weight shifts to the rear tires, and torque focused primarily on these weight bearing rear wheels makes all the diffrerence.

    I have to agree with the Subie comment. I swore by my VX and TOD but when I got my WReX, I found myself confused. For a sporty little bugger, the Subie can handle rougher conditions with an amount of ease. Top that with speed and performance and it becomes quite the cross trainer. Though, I wouldn't pick one over the other since they are both fun for whatever the occasion calls for.

    I at least now find myself in possession of a DD that I can drive in light snow conditions (since it's lowered) and a vehicle with higher clearance for deeper snow. And in perfect conditions, simply 2 extremely fun vehicles.
