no difference. HICAS doesn't have anything to do with the differential AFAIK.

High Intelligence...lol...to make up for our low intelligence?

Yes, it is in a sense 4 wheel steering, but I prefer to call it active rear toe. The rear wheels only turn a matter of a few degrees. And only at speeds above 25 mph(I think that's the speed anyways).

Its nothing like AWD. Plus AWD is a lot easier to drift than you think. Not as easy as RWD ofcourse.
