That's usually because people with $50,000 sports cars with 3" of ground clearance don't make for very good snowmobiles.

It's not like most police officers and taxi's aren't using RWD Crown Vic's since the dawn of time.
True and they spend a lot of time slipping and sliding all over New York City. I think the main reason is that they drive so many miles and need the simplest cars to ensure the longest life. I know cabs aren't using winter tires and my guess is that neither are the police cars but I've never checked. Doesn't make sense.
