That's more a function of your tires than the drivetrain.

I really don't understand what the AWD obsession is for. Most cars in the north that are on the road are not AWD, and for decades people have been making it through winters with the proper set of tires on their vehicle.

I will be at least one person w/ a RWD BMW this winter here in NE... with winter tires... and I think I'll be just fine.
Most cars in the north are not AWD but it's getting close with FWD cars combined with AWD making up a large percentage of all cars. If Honda, Toyota, and Nissan made the Accord, civic, Camry, corolla, sentra, Altima, and maxima with the option for AWD, I am certain you would see most people in NY buying that version. Example - how many FWD highlanders do you see or A4s ? People choose AWD in the NE for the most part when that option exists.
