Titan/Armada/Qx56 Quadrasteer
Motortrend
Delphi is working with Nissan to provide its Quadrasteer system for the Titan pickup and Pathfinder Armada and Infiniti QX56 sport/utilities. While timing is uncertain, the Nissan/Infiniti trucks could soon get the system, which steers the rear wheels in the same direction as the front ones at highway speeds and steers them in the opposite direction for parking maneuvers. Delphi is said to be testing a Titan pickup with Quadrasteer and is reportedly disappointed with General Motor's marketing of the technology. Typically, Quadrasteer has been part of a package costing more than $6000 for premium, heavy duty Chevy and GMC trucks and SUVs. More recently, GM has offered it as a $1900 standalone option for certain trucks.

Anyone ever have a 4ws Prelude? I had a G5 Prelude but the 4ws was only available in Japan. 
It would have put it out of the sport coupe price range in the USA they said. The G3 had 4ws in some models I think. Patric Stewart (Cpt. Picard from Star Trek) talked about having a G3 4ws in an interview I heard. He loved it and he owned Jags and other cars.

4ws first showed up on G3 preludes as the top of the line model (which is what both Stewart and Wil Wheaton had) and the G4 Ludes.

If I remember correctly, Honda abandoned it at the time because it was expensive and not extremely reliable at the time. The newer version by Delphi seems to be more advanced.

I read somewhere when it first came out that GM made Delphi (and they are an associate of GM) sign either a 2-year or 4-year exclusivity agreement so they couldn't market the technology to any competitor during that period. I'd be surprised if you see it anywhere but a GM vehicle until after 2006.
