RE: [alfa] alfa-subaru connection

[Joe Elliott <jee@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Don't quote me on this, but I believe that the first AWD Subarus came 
out in 1984, the same year as the first AWD Alfas.  So unless it was 
a collaboration (in which case I assume it would be as oft-discussed 
as the infamouse Nissan partnership of the same era), I doubt that 
either manufacturer borrowed the technology from the other.
