Well, I'm honestly impressed with what my Evo can do in the snow on proper winter tires. But I can guarantee a G35X has nothing compared to the degree of the electronic and mechanical wizardry that the Evo X has, or even the lesser handling STi. Will its AWD system help get you up an icy hill? Yep. Will it help you 4 wheel drift around some dumbshit who just slid into a curb? Nope.

But talking about crossovers and SUV's with AWD... absolutely worthless. Not a damn thing you can do to make a 6000 lb vehicle handle well, especially in the snow/ice.
