The diesel isn't available with XWD at all. Even the 9-3x is FWD only with XWD, same with the new 9-5. Whether it's a shortage of space or inability to handle the torque, I dunno, but there's apparently total show-stopped problems with it.

I'd not want an all wheel drive diesel an to be honest, the TTiD is over the top. The 120 or 150 would be *more* than adequate for my purposes. It's the Aero specification I'm interested in... -- The DervMan www.dervman.com

That's why nobody makes interesting cars anymore. -- Douglas |
