yeah all wheel steering. That should be something they should look into. Would that not help out handling? I am sure there are pros and cons for both though.

that would be pretty kewl for rally racing, i dont know how ethical it would be to use for everyday street driving, unless you make alot of u-turns or feel the need to take all corners and turns at 70+ mph, lol.

its more of an enginering issue.... too many parts = more things to break...... also all that extra weight... Not worth it.

The only mass-produced AWS cars I know of are Chevy/GMC Trucks and SUVs and the Mitsubishi 3000GT (I forget the model, but it had a retractable hard top, AWD and AWS!)

ya, honda got sued over the 88, which lead to the 89 CRX si that plows like a pig....

for autocross, specifically CSP the 88 CRX Si si what you want...
