Taking your foot off the excellerator does not disengage 4WD. 4WD means that one front wheel and one back wheel are powered by the engine and these wheels turn at the same rate whether you are accelerating or deccelerating. This is different from AWD where wheels are powered depending on slipage. 4WD results in tremendously improved engine braking (standard trans) and brake braking. SAABs are better in the snow than rear-wheel drive vehicles, but cannot be compared to 4WD and AWD cars in my opinion. Pick-up trucks are different story as they suck in the snow, 4WD or not.
