Its not marketing.

To have symetrical AWD you must mount a boxer engine inline. Sure you could mount a straight engine inline but it wouldnt make sense.to long/too high. If you cut the drive train in half each side is a mirror copy of the other side. Its a beautiful engineering concept....expensive to make..no one else does it. That's why all vehicles compare their AWD against Subaru. They have been doing SAWD for 47 years. And the boxer engine for 53 years.

And I am not saying Subaru is the very best..the Quatro might be better. But its not Symetrical.
