5k clutch dump + AWD = better than FWD

But I get what you're saying about the DD part. So in a car like say the Ford Fusion, which is FWD standard AWD optioned, if you get AWD is it FWD with a second drive unit to the rear wheels or rear wheel drive with a drive unit to the front wheels (like an SUV)?

I'm assuming FWD with a unit for the back since the motor would still be over the front axle...
