Only the GS RWD has that type of pedal. My AWD has the typical (preferred by me) hanging accelerator.

Probably because the additional components of the transmission (front differential/transfer case) take up a bit more space, there is more of a "hump" in the footwells of the AWD that likely gets in the way of the floor accelerator.

Meaning, why didn't they just make them all with the traditional hanging setups? I don't like the floor pedal types, they feel awkward to me.
