Torque vectoring

Who would dare to take the eyes off the road to watch the four little torque indicator bars dancing?

Kind of ironic they make that display available to the driver. I mean, the core reasoning behind all wheel drive is consumer safety, then they go and put a stupid torque vectoring bar graph in the display, which serves no fucking purpose other than to distract the driver.

If it was on a head's up display, then perhaps it could be a little more justified ...

But c'mon, on the instrument panel ... really? Are you mad?!

I got some of that bar dancing in my MDX on the ride back from New England to NJ yesterday. Not as fun in torrential rain as in an autocross.

The new one should be pretty sweet given the fact that it activates quicker and is more aggressive. Good guage if you're stuck in snow and want to know what wheel may be letting go

The new one is smaller and lighter too.

It will need a very deep snow to stop the TL sh-awd from moving.
