I grew up in alaska, I've driven in stuff that makes anything anyone here in the lower 48 has driven in look like a normal commute (60 below and Ice Fog anyone?) Would I buy a vette or v8 camaro for winter driving? Only if i got another set of wheels and tires for it (and probably not even then with them being so LOW!).
Oh geeze you weren't kidding.....

Most cars aren't made for Alaska winters, however that says nothing about the lower 48. The SS will do fine here in Mass with snow tires. The ride height isn't that low where you have to worry about clearing PLOWED roads and driveways.

Also FEW cars are marketed as winter cars outside of AWD Subbies and the like. That mean you can't own a RWD BMW or Mercedes in the north??
