I thought the sticker was an attempt to stop dim-witted breakdown drivers trying to tow the car with the front wheels off the ground and the rears on the ground and launching the transmission.

More likely its Subaru marketing...

Nothing to do with power or type...

Yeah I'd agree I think "All Wheel Drive " is SUBARU's" name for 4WD.........I've noticed some cars with this badge on and others don't - I think usually UK versions have it ???
