You know the local G8 community says all the time that it handles like a boss in the snow with proper snow tires. I just never wanted to test it out personally.

They say that but compared to what? I will take my AWD kizashi with all seasons any day over a big ass v8 rwd car with snow tires.

Snow tires are great and all but there is a reason car makers went to FWD.

AWD or 4x4 with good all-seasons will best RWD w/snows, but I'd take RWD w/snows over FWD w/A-S's any day. I've driven pretty much every configuration you can think of in the winter and, when equipped with the proper tires, RWD really isn't as much of a problem and you're led to believe.
