Honda's SH-AWD system stands for SUPER HANDLING ALL WHEEL DRIVE.

What this movie, its about 12 mins long. Absolutly amazing, they go into GREAT detail on how it functions.

Cool video. Very good explanation of their "new" system.

I'm still trying to see where this technology is any different than Audi's, Mercedes or Subaru's.

The only thing I see is that instead of having multiple diffs, the Honda just has one rear one that controls the torque going to the 4 wheels.

Other AWD cars seem to have a similar system already that will varying the torque going to the wheels and make it not only safer but will actually make your car preform better thru a turn. (just like the Honda video showed) (FYI, The STi has 3 diffs to send variable torque to the necesssary wheels, plus a manual DCCD setting:))

What am I missing, me no figure dis out?
