That'd be nice....but its also what 'they' said last year.............

So, anyone heard anything recently about whether we'll actually see a factory Superb Scout...(or the Passat Alltrack)?

Bump......so any news/gossip on this surfaced in the last 3 months? There was also chatter (and renderings) suggesting VW were gonna release a Cross Passat at Frankfurt, but that didn't happen.....anyone know anythng about that?

Thanks.....I had been holding my breath for the rumoured Superb Scout but I now hear that that is all it is.....rumour...but latest chatter down here is that a Passat Cross ( maybe badged an AllTrack??) will be revealed at Frankfurt for 2012 release??

OK....thanks for that. So long story short: What system would more capably climb a muddy slippery track? A Haldex or the Subaru version? And ditto above, but descending the same track? And wouldn't the Subaru be less likely to say skid on a sealed road in the first place as its already 4 WD? Cheers

So we hear that 'proper' Audi's ( N/S engine ones anyway) have the Torsen 4 WD system, most current VW's and Skoda's have the Haldex system, and Subaru have a viscous coupling? That right? And in terms of actual 4 WD performance which are 'best'? As far as I understand it the Torsen are genuine fulltime 4 WD, while the Haldex systems are typically front WD till something slips then the rear wheels kick in, and Subaru claim their system provides drive to all 4 wheels all the time? Doe sthat make the Subaru's 'better' than the Haldex system? My interest is in establsihing the 4 WD capability of say the Superb/Octavia 4 WD's and new Passat 4Motion against the Subaru Legacy/Outback....so which is the real deal? Thanks in anticipation.

So there's Scout versions available in Fabia, Roomster and Octavia. Anyone know if a Scout derivative of a Superb is planned at any stage? Cheers
