"If we all REALLY want to get down to the final analysis, something AWD is always best."

Not the best for gas mileage, that's for sure.

I still say GM has their head in the sand. Like the way they took away ALL the rear wheel drive cars for a few years. This cost GM dearly. The police quit buying Impalas and went exclusively to Crown Vics. The rear wheel drive fanatics that I work with all went to Lincolns even though they have GM discounts. It's really sad seeing a lifelong Caddy guy going over to a Lincoln!
