Hey, it's got a 4 litre 8 cylinder, 271 HP, 273 ft/lb engine...

4Motion...

Lots of "stuff"... (the price sticker at the Chicago Auto Show said $39,635 worth...)

Realistically it is very expensive Vdub, (but then again so are the Allroads...)

Compares favorably with the BMW 540 wagon size wise and money wise...

The posts are from the same member: jpayne. The consensus seems to be that the results he reported are likely due to a problem with the VTM-4 on his MDX. In fact, with the update on this thread that he did NOT have a problem when manually engaging VTM-4 lock:

...the MDX was slip-sliding away all over the place, until I LOCKED the rear differential with the VTM-4 lock.

leads me to agree that it appears that the sensors that detect wheel slip are not initiating the transfer of torque to the rear wheels.
