Sorry but that a little misunderstood. When you corner on a highway at 60, your wheels Front and Back dont turn in any direction. Watch when your switching lanes on the highway. Your wheels dont turn like the do in the parking, they lean with very very low degrees. Just enought to make your car move slightly. If they turn like parking lots, no one would be alive today. The back wheels barely move at all. The AWS really doesn't take affect until 30mph, and then the move slightly like the front in the opposite direction to keep the back wheels from sliding on the ground. They, if anything, keep the car from fliping by allowing the rear to move freely without friction, otherwise your steering with the sidwall. But if a AWS vehicle was moving on the highway or anywhere past 30, you still wouldn't visually see them move. AWD AWS handles better than any vehicle on the road. But.... there are many more parts to break and go wrong. Thats why they are gone. Expect a come back like AWD. I have buddies with VR4 galants and 3000's. smile.gif
