A remarkable drive system that supplies equal power to the front and rear axles. 4WD IS NOT THE SAME AS AWD because:
1.Equal power is disributed to the four wheels AT ALL TIMES (however this will sacrifice turning ability if you leave the vehicle in 4 wheel lock while taking a corner on PAVEMENT and don't put the hubs in free or put it in 2wd)
2: 4x4 vehicles CAN be driven offroad( Rally courses are no more than gravel roads and not anywhere close to offroad conditions)
NOT ALWAYS BAD ON GAS, some 4x4 vehicles have smaller engines and get great mileage without sacrificing ability(toyota landcruiser). However, my '78 blazer has a 6.6L engine with a 3 speed and gets 12 MPG in the city.
The concept of a 4x4 vehicles existed Prior to WWII but the technology was never fully exploited until the USA developed the willys jeep to bridge the gap between halftracks and cars for an adaptable vehicle that didn't get stuck easy but went faster than a halftrack and to compete with the Volkswagen 'THING' .
4WD vehicles are basically Rear wheel drive vehicles that have an extra drive shaft to power the front wheels. The driveshaft that powers the front wheels runs off the rear driveshaft using a transfer case that splits the power evenly between front and back when engaged.
Nowadays few people recognize the ablility of 4x4 vehicles
and rarely put 4x4's to the test( stereotype moms in a Hummer h2 driving her kids to school 2 blocks away)
Top 5 4x4 Vehicles of all time in RANDOM order:
-Land Rover 1995 and prior
-Toyota Landcruiser (new fj40 excluded)
-Chevy K5 Blazer/GMC Jimmy(full size only, small sizes excluded)
-Jeep (TJ/YJ and Willys)
-Original Hummer (H2 and H3 excluded)

Remarkable drive system supplying equal drive to the front and rear for possibly the best handling ON PAVEMENT. Offroad using AWD can be a heartache because if you hit a muddy patch on one side and dry on the other the dry side will spin more than the muddy side(mud creates more resistance than a dry surface and the AWD treats the mud like a corner letting the dry side spin more) thus pulling the car into the mud. With Four wheel drive all of the tires will spin at the same speed eliminating this problem. AWD cars are not built for offroading anyways due to low ground clearance and weak frame.
AWD capability varies on different but consistant surfaces such as gravel, wet pavement, glare ice but in general does better than rear or front wheel drive.

4x4 > AWD
FOUR WHEEL DRIVE IS NOT THE SAME AS ALL WHEEL DRIVE.
Jeeps, K5 Blazers, etc. ARE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE AND CAN DRIVE OFFROAD.
Subaru imprezas, Ford fusions, etc. ARE ALL WHEEL DRIVE AND CANNOT DRIVE OFFROAD.( Rally is not offroad is is racing on a gravel road or maintained dirt road )
Cars makers that use AWD include:
Subaru, Lamborghini, Suzuki, Ford(Just the Fusion)
