Karl,

	 That's quite a sales line from your local dealer.  :-)

	The Torsen differential as produced by Gleason is currently or
previously used in Audi, Hummer, Mazda RX7, Toyota Supra, Olds 442, and a
few other that I have forgotten.  It is available aftermarket for BMW,
Mercedez, GM, Honda, Toyota, VW, Porsche, etc.
