I feel it is a shame. Or a sham. You articulate exactly what Audi, Subaru and others have been trying to convince people of for years. "All wheel drive -it's all I drive" and such nonsense. The majority of the Audi's sold are front-drive economy cars adapted to luxury models. Their engines are in front of the steered wheels and without AWD they cannot work in their segments. Porsche is different. The AWD models they sell are very rare by any measure and they add AWD to rear drive platforms. One should be respected. On public roads AWD does not help a performance car turn or stop in the snow or in deep puddles and people don't race their street car in the rain and snow either. AWD is not needed in the rain.
