Agree. I live in MN so snow is a 6 month / year reality. But it can't be emphasized enough that AWD is probably more of a net safety issue than solution for the driving population as a whole because it lets you overdrive your steering and braking in low-traction circumstances (plus, if traction control can be disabled, RWD is more fun if you have the driving skill ). Spend the money on an extra set of wheels with dedicated winter tires (not All Season). These have a snowflake graphic on the sidewall and improve steering and braking in more or less equal measure to forward progress. On the plus side, I've heard great things here and elsewhere about Tesla's traction control in RWD vehicles.
Oh, yeah, I don't want to wait another 9 months and I want the full $7500 tax credit too.
