I came up with an interesting idea a few months back. I saw a voyager with AWD and though HUH did not know it came like that.

I thought it might be neat to PUT the AWD rear axles in my voyager but not the T case IE add in an electric motor with a simple relay on off switch to boost MPG.

Well it looks like others are thinking the same thing and even have prototypes built!!!

Very cool! and retrofitable to ANY FWD car!
