Symetrical 4x4
Anyone heard of this description? I overheard someone ask the question "is it a symetrical 4X4" I have never heard these two terms together. Can someone define this and symetrical as opposed to what?

In contrast to all wheel drive where front and rear turn different amounts (potentially).

I believe Symmetrical all-wheel drive is a term/concept cooked up by Subaru. I think it also has to do with the balance of the vehicle in Subaru's case.
