It's funny that you are the only influential automotive journalist that really has anything bad to say about the car. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif

so i assume you have driven and tested it??

I imagine no AWD was to make it different from the MS6 and the S40 AWD T5. They could have done it easily if they wanted.

Ultimately, AWD is going to make the car slower, since it adds weight. You might get off the line a little quicker with AWD, but once the threat of wheelspin is gone, you're just toting dead weight and increasing friction losses. Unless we're talking about a rally car, and we aren't.
