AWD?


Explanation:
I just called a Cadillac dealership and talked to a salesman who sells Escalade. He said he never heard of "AWP" in this context and suggested that this could be a typo for "AWD" - all wheel drive.

Could it be?

neutral  Roman Bardachev: I guess it could, see the asker's previously posted note // You asked 'could it be?', I said, yes it could, what's wrong with that? // And BTW how does your answer contribute to the note posted by the asker?

  -> How exactly does your comment contribute to figuring out the meaning?//There are hundreds of Cadillac dealerships in the US. I spoke to one today. Are you calling me a liar? I see you are fond of chat abbreviations. Then RTFKudos rules, сынок.
