You are totally right about the marketers (they are the base of the confusion) and the performance at highway speed. The 4WD used to be a military vehicle in times past because of the terrains they might encounter, only recently that the every day man buys a 4WD for normal driving.

One thing some do not know is that the added load of the special parts tell on the fuel consumption too. But hey! who doesn't like cruising in an suv.

I prefer the AWD because it somehow gives one a taste of both worlds.

Thanks for your kind comment. steemSTEM on is like the best community i have seen here and it is nice to have people contributing knowledge from all over the world. I particularly have learnt a great deal since i joined steemit (all thanks to steemstem).

We work together to make the community greater.

Thanks once again!
