I would sooooooo love to drive a CTS-V just once. And I could drive it in the snow just fine, thank you. If that kind of power scared you, well...I kinda feel sory for ya. I've said it before and I'll say it again: FWD's apparent inclement weather superiority is simply a crutch for those who don't know how to drive a real RWD car in the snow. Personally, I've never owned a FWD car in my life. And I never will. And I've never been stuck in the snow. I've driven to and from work in over 4 inches of snow in a 4500 lb, 365hp '71 Continental. And never got stuck or even slid off the road. I've dirven 300+ hp Thunderbirds, Mustangs, Cougars, Lincolns, and Mercury's in snow, ice, rain, mud, etc. And I've always been able to get to where I was going. Because I know how to drive. It's that simple. Unfortunately, FWD is superior in that kind of weather due to the weight of the drivetrain being over the drive wheels, causing better traction. But that's FWD's only advantage over RWD. You can have your cheesy, inferior, wrong-wheel-drive Lincoln badged Mazda6. Even if I could afford one, I wouldn't even entertain the thought. Have a nice day.
Go by a dealer and take one for a test drive.
Tell you what, I drive a 27,000lb vehicle. Thats what it weighs empty. I have over one million miles under my belt. I have driven in every possible type of weather you can think of. I have NEVER gotten stuck either. So I guess that makes us even.
