4wd car - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I've been thinking, boy, wouldn't it be nice to have a CAR with 4wd and a bit of power? Especially for driving in the snow (I know you don't want an assload of power driving in it, but you want it when you're not driving in it). I started looking at sites of the big 3.

Chevy? Nope.
Dodge? The ugly ass Avenger
Ford? Taurus(365hp). (Dang that car is hideous from the back).

The car that I used to LOVE (and still do) is the 2006 Subaru Impreza WRX STi. The only thing keeping me from buying one of these one day, is the economy.

Just a little rant - so, if you work for Ford/GM/Dodge, make a 4wd car that has lotsa power & is pretty.

Yes, I know they aren't listening.

GM EpII platform has the capability for AWD.

dodge also has the Charger with AWD, and the 300.

but if that was the market i was shopping in i would probably consider the EVOX. considering the lack of Domestic support i wouldnt feel bad buying it

Yeah it would be cool, but you'd be more likely to get it stuck with such low clearance... unlike a nice 4WD truck.

And you wouldn't get the performance of a nice Camaro SS.

I didn't know the Charger was AWD!(obviously) I was searching for over an hour on google before I posted this, even went to the sites to try to find how to narrow it down to 4wd/awd, only chevy would let me.

EVOX is a pretty sweet car...I did consider that one as well. My only problem is how ricey it looks. Just my opinion of the car.

Thanks for the input

AWD u cant beat Subaru. I had an 04 STi and it was the bomb. I would still have it if it wasnt for this pesky 5th gen.

If you're looking for an AWD get the Evo X.

You could buy a 4WD Duramax?!

Subaru does make a great machine with their extraordinary AWD and rally cars, but let's also add to the equation the lacking quality and workmanship of a Japanese import. It's been a long time since the days of those awful domestics, and those days have been replaced by even worse imports. Take, for instance, my Impreza. The door handle detached from the driver's side while opening the door. I can't open it from the outside at all, so I have to enter the awkwardly shaped interior from the passenger side, step over the ugly center console, and seat myself behind the average-looking dash. As I look to the clock for the time, I am reminded that the display doesn't work. The radio was a failing piece of equipment tens of thousands of miles ago, so I swapped an aftermarket unit. The audio features impressive bass for an otherwise weakly constructed vehicle.

Mine is a 2002 Impreza TS, and I know that the WRX and STi both have substantial improvements over my trim in every area from performance to styling, but workmanship did not change. The same guy who put a poorly built door handle on my car probably put the same handle on that prettier, faster STi. The only component of this car that I truly trust to last is the superior AWD. Expect to spend some money bringing the rest of the car up to par.
