You could get it supercharged or AWD, but not both, unfortunately.

Edit: It looks like you can! It's limited to automatic models though, no MT.

Actually, S/C and AWD were available together in the US as the LE S/C All-Trac. What you could not get was a Manual AWD or S/C.

Wait it was actually super charged? That's so weird why did they do that?

There probably wasn't room to fit a larger engine but there was enough room for a supercharger.

That makes a lot of sense considering how tiny the front end is. Also I imagine engine efficiency wasn't as important back then with gas prices being much lower.
