Evo and sti seem like good choices. Awd winter driving. If you wanna stay nissan maybe an awd juke?...how bout a 4wd truck. You can haul some stuff and do a little wheelin.

im not sure if i like or hate the legacy's styling. werd thing going on.

I think the ultimate winter car is a subie outback/forrester.

True facts. I use to have a 01 Forester but I spun a bearing in the motor and dontated it. Nothing could stop that thing... except for the spun bearing.

The bike idea is thinking outside the box but I may end up in one based on the way Ohioans drive with snow on the ground.

Lots of you seem to really like the STI. I may have to give it a sound look. Not a big fan of the EVO. While the Forrester, Outback, Legacy, a truck or the Juke may be good winter choices I think I would get bored pretty quickly.

I think I'm going to go with the 335xi.

For under $40k, winter and dd, I'd look into Audi A4, Infiniti G37X, Lexus IS250 or the Merc C-Class. The 335xi is nice too.

:icon17: I used to live in Bloomington so I can relate to the driving in the snow. The 335xi would be nice.
