"The Torsen works in a four-wheel drive"

Here is a good example:

"the hybrid (Lexus LS600h) gets a clever variable transmission that’s mated to a Torsen differential that divides the engine’s power between the front and rear wheels. Yes, you read that right. This car is a four-wheel drive."

It is nice to see applications still being thought of for the old torsen differential. Wouldn't it be nice to see all of those "stepped up" to the Iso-torque differential? Now if they put a Iso-torque in this application instead of the Torsen differential that would be a betterment IMO. Then a couple of Iso-Torques, one in the front axle, and one in the rear axle; a manufacturer would essentially have "all wheel drive" instead of 4 wheel drive. But, I guess they can't do that till they get a license to do that from the Torvec. My guess is that we will be hearing from the Lexus people soon.
