AWD cars

fishman gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:

ITYM XC70 - but there's a whole stack of S/V70s with AWD, not just the turbos & tall ones.

There's been 4wd versions of all sorts of "cooking" tin - most manufacturers have done 'em at various stages. We've just not seen many of 'em in the UK.

In the US, you can buy 4x4 versions of BMW 3/5-series, Merc C/E/S-class, Lexus IS/ES/GS/LS, for starters...

VW Golf, Passat, Phaeton, Sharan All Subarus - Impreza, Forester, Legacy, Justy etc. Alfa Sportwagon Lamborghinis of various kinds

Yes I did write that in the intro text and then put 90 in the list as a typo!! Duhhh

Yeah just been researching - found a Passat diesel AWD too.

I remember Elder posting some W124 with AWD on here now you mention it.

Toyota Celica GT4 Mike.

Bentley Continental GT / Flying Spur

Cavalier Turbo Calibra Turbo Nissan Sunny GTi-R Peugeot MI16x4 Subaru Justy In fact, almost everything Subaru?

Dunno about now, but they've been about over here before, haven't they? Merc 4Matic systems, BMW xxxiX models. Well, seen them on E class/5 series - dunno about the rest though.

VW have done loads of 4wd road stuff over the years (and the Golf Country when they went mad).

Wasn't one of the Interceptors underpinned by some Massey Ferguson AWD affair? The big 7-litre thingummybob?

Spyker somthing or other (the 8.7L one) Jag X Type Jensen FF

The older Syncro VWs (Golf, Passat, T25 but that is a bit off roadish) as well as the modern 4motion Haldex based cars.

Phileaus Leaius gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:

The Interceptor used the same Chrysler v8 as the FF - which had Ferguson (not Massey-) 4wd, and Dunlop Maxaret ABS.

Alfa 33 P4.

Ford Sierra XR4x4 Ford Escort RS2000 Volvo 850 T5 Citroen BX GTi 4x4 (maybe a TRS too?) and I think there was an AX 4x4 as well although I could be making that up Renault 21 Turbo (Quad-something IIRC) Mazda 323 Turbo Mazda 6 MPS

"Carl Gibbs" gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:

BX 4x4 was available as 19GTi or 19TRi estate over here, but mainland Europe had diesels as well. Pile of shit - they stripped the input shaft to the transfer box, and so many bits are different to the 4x2 versions that they're almost unmaintainable now.

AX was available 4x4 in Europe, so was C15 and Berlingo (both available as 4-seat, as well as vans) - but as aftermarket conversions from Dangel. Then there was the twin-engined 2cv, and the single engined 4x4 Mehari.

Let's face it - there's been a shitload of "normal cars" available with

Lots of Porkers. (I don't know enough about Porsche to list all of them and the limited edition runs)

BMW 325Xi

Is this list limited to UK market cars only?

porsche 911 (996 or 997 ones of them) mondeo had a 4x4 version i think? sierra of course pug 405 i think had a 4x4 version skyline and the stagea (skyline estate)

Toyota Celica GT4 (all versions) Toyota Caldina GT4 Toyota Previa/Estima/Estima Lucida/Estima Emina Toyota Corolla RunX Diahatsu Cuore (I think). Mazda Bongo Friendie

Heh, Renault 21 Quadra. 175bhp. I tried to 'race' one in a 1.0L Nova (inspired by a 'win' I had against a Williams Clio through the mean streets of Stockton), and ended up spinning into the path of a bus (which I just missed) on a damp roundabout.

isn't the mitsubishi GTO/3000GT AWD as well? there is a lot of jap stuff that's awd most are jap market only but that's cos there's a few moutains and it snows quite a bit i guess.
