Now some older Rav4 and I believe Corolla did have the "4WD" moniker, which is why I said it confuses things, because they used 4WD on some of their AWD vehicles and muddied the waters.

Both Audi Quattro and the 4th gen center diff use a planetary Torsen T3 (also known as type C) which is biased towards the rear. They're literally the same mechanical system. So, like you said, semantics. AWD and Full-Time 4WD are marketing terms. One sounds tough and truck-like, the other sounds cool slick.
