I'm with you on that one, but there's a German (maybe Austrian)
Phd-of-something who posts to the Syncro group and he will argue at length that the idea of
shit-canning the VC is foolish.  His point is that the benifits of an
all-wheel drive system in providing superior vehicle control under all road
conditions outweigh its shortcomings.  I guess he has never had a VC eat a transaxle
for lunch.
