But notice the line Randy where they say Fuji have no plans for commercial production of an AWD model.

Also see paddles remarks. I still think this would be a very good buy with that engine, bound to pull like a train.

Renault have a 4WD version of their Scenic, similar size. Looks cute and countrified, and a mate has one in London {Yeah, they really NEED 4wd in London for parking on the occasional grassy kerb}. I don't like the idea. The rear axle takes up luggage space, already scarce in these types of vehicle. Also the 4wd makes them taller, and they are already tall enough to compromise the handling.
