Dock, has your wife ever hauled out and punched you in the face for being a belligerent färt?
As I was typing yesterday I knew you would not relent.
Please, let me explain it to you in German: Glaub es mir, Du Volltrottel, sie reden von Allradantrieb. Dies, wörtlich ins englische übersetzt ist "All Wheel Drive". Im deutschen hat dies aber die GLEICHE BEDEUTUNG wie Vierradantrieb.
OK?
And maybe the absolute truth is even somewhere in the middle as niether you nor I were at the marketing meetings prior to the 996 Allradantriebsversion's introduction. And the world is not black and white but shades of gray.
But, you will come back and explain that you, and only you are right...

Translation- Believe me, you "idiot" (can also mean ********, ****, jerk, etc), they're speaking of all wheel drive. This word (allradantrieb), is directly translated word for word in English as "all wheel drive". But in German, this word (allradantrieb) has the SAME MEANING as four wheel drive (vierradantrieb).
Hope that helps you, whatever automotive message board context you're pulling it from!
Your GT2rs is the best looking version of our cars in my book!

Porsche of San Antonio is obviously confused by all this:

^^ Amen!
You think the 4x4 vs. AWD starts a heated debate, try starting the debate over how to correctly pronounce the word "Porsche"

We have to remember that Porsche is not only a company name but also a family name. And how would the Porsche family prefer you pronounce their name? Before you say it doesn't matter, think about this...
If your name was Giorgio Armani, would you want it pronounced "Gee-orgy-o Arm-ani" or as the family prefers... That is, "Jor-ji-o Ar-ma-nee"?? The Porsche family name is pronounced "PORSCH-UH".
