added a critical dimension table. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mymazdatribute ( talk • contribs) 06:53, 2006 December 20 (UTC)
It seems to me that the letter "x" in "4x4" should be replaced with a "×" (×), but it also seems to me that some people be defensive about the letter "x" due to tradition. Any thoughts? — Fleminra June 28, 2005 04:47 (UTC)
Ready for some cognative dissonance? ... From MOS:COMMONMATH:
The letter x should not be used to indicate multiplication, but it is used (unspaced) as the substitute for "by" in terms such as 4x4.

Subaru introduced the first mass-produced 4wd car in 1972. The source is:
http://www.subaru-global.com/about/history/1971-001.html
How do the drivetrains on cars like evo's work? Are the front wheels driven in a system similar to most front wheel drive cars? Perhaps an article or two in the "engine layouts" category would be good. -- 203.109.168.105 ( talk) 10:19, 12 January 2007
I've removed the reference that was added here. A couple of pages of a google book purporting to be RS for the SAE definitions is rather obviously fall out from some quick Google, not a strong secondary source for the SAE. It appears to be a training manual for apprentices and is past simplified and into dumbed-down. When it states "AWD does not have low ratio" it's just plain wrong. It might be reasonable to state "light cars with AWD don't have low ratios" (Audis etc) but this is so simplistic it fails for even SUVs, let alone real off-road vehicles. This is not a competent ref to use here, particular not if trying to pass it off as the SAE. If you want the SAE definitions, either buy them from the SAE (library?) or use them via a decent secondary source. Andy Dingley ( talk) 16:19, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
I did read the preview but I'm not comfortable citing it without reading the part of the paper that actually lists the definitions.

Not the type used in a boat, but [4]. Should be added to the history? 2001:56A:F03F:5200:BDCC:ECBA:87E3:51A8 ( talk) 23:57, 1 January 2019 (UTC)
