Oh, come on, now...the snow isn't all
THAT bad near us (Orchard Park

)...
But, yes, FWD helps...
I would say, if you're grabbing a used vehicle, it all depends on the miles...try and manage a balance between low mileage, and low price. Other than that...I just think the Grand Prix looks better, and from what I've heard, they're generally reliable cars.
I'm sorry I couldn't help more...
