    Why Not? No traction problems at the dragstrip, that's for sure...

    Wish I had one. In NW Florida we get ice on the roads, occasionally.

    I have an AWD and I don't intend to ever see snow again. There are other benefits to AWD.

    I have an AWD SXT, mainly because at the time it was all the dealer had. But I love it now, great in heavy rainstorms.

    I live where there is snow/rain/ice........but AWD is also great for launching and cornering on dry pavement. All the power is put right down to the pavement.
