cruiser647 Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 Nothing unusal really, many '4x4s' are 2wd until needed or chosen. Even Land rover are going to introduce a FWD Landie of some sort............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanG Posted May 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 I can understand a switchable 4x4 or 2x4 system, but I read this to mean full time rwd only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 How many Toerag owners would actually notice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stooH Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 Wait til the winter when they try and go up a hill and realise that couple of grand they saved on their 50k 'car' at purchase time was a big mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 Given the lack of control of various so called 4x4's during the winter, that just means they'll hit the wall/bush/car/bus shelter backwards instead of forwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Bangle Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 Lower emissons, lower weight, cheaper manufacturing & selling price, larger market - these are just some of the reasons why there are so many 2WD SUV's (lifestyle-SUV's). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
