Not entirely true, i believe some of the older Mazda MPVs had 4wd.

Ah yes; MARLIN, you are correct (somewhat). The Mazda MPV 4WD (rather AWD) van was produced 1989--1998 and was essentially rear drive with a steering column mounted push button that engaged the front axle for 50/50 "high range only" drive output between the front & rear axle. Basically, it was 2WD with push button "on the fly" selectable AWD. The Mazda MPV did not have a traditional Hi/Lo range transfer case found on a common 4WD. The vehicle was not designed for true off-road; but rather as a 6--8 passenger "snow vehicle" with on-demand AWD cabability.
