Now that is a great idea, the AWD upscale LT4. I have to keep another car to drive in bad weather because in the mid-south we don't have a lot of resources to plow or salt roads, so basically when it snows you either have to drive on the packed snow until it melts or stay home. Camaro just does not do real well in packed snow and freezing rain on the stock tires. I could buy another set of tires but when you get maybe 3 snow falls a year what's the point?

Plus on real roads that have miscellaneous debris on them, AWD is a real plus with a lot of power, Jaguar and Mercedes seem to be figuring that out.
