Interesting pictures, but does AWD version limit the room in any way? It's FWD when it's not AWD, right?
from what I can tell, there's no such limits as the Atlas doesn't have that much more features you would expect like "stow and go" seats or anything like that.

In terms of how the center diff works, I have no idea what they're using. I can't imagine they'll deviate from any other traverse engine setup: So it'll be a Haldex system or a viscous coupling: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quattr...sverse_systems

Either systems are normally 90-95% front split. So it's not to sophisticated, but what'd you expect?


Also, it appears the launch edition and the current cars are all VR6s, which means the I-4ts will all come in later in the year.

I'm serious, I think I'm probably buying this car. On paper, all the numbers and features work out. You get a lot of car for $38k. That's no money at all. Hell a minivan will cost you that much too.
