AWD versus 4 Wheel Drive MSN Autos (Not the Same)

Top 10 All-Wheel-Drive Vehicles - MSN Autos: "Basically, AWD is a full-time 4-wheel-drive system (all four wheels receive torque from the engine simultaneously) that employs a center differential that allows each tire to rotate at different speeds. This independent rotation eliminates problems associated with basic 4WD systems when driven on pavement, such as driveline binding and wheel hop. Note that AWD is not only useful in the rain and snow — it is also great on dry pavement as well, improving handling and stability."
