4WD / AWD is the same thing isn't it?

Not sure what V-Flex is?

Hey I was asking the questions! LOL

I'm not too sure what the difference is between 4WD and AWD is but I know for people who just drive in urban jungles, there will be no noticable difference.

I believe the Matrix comes with a V-Flex 4WD system (Toyota's own). Again, I am shady on how it exactly works but as I recall it drives the front wheels until it notices some slippage. Once the front wheels slips, power is transferred to the rear wheels.
