I vote Acura RDX (their small SUV). The turbo engine makes good power, you get lots of tech goodies, decent cargo capacity, and their SH-AWD is perhaps the best in the industry. Not only does it offer all-weather traction but it's downright sporty by accelerating the outside wheel in corners to power you through.
...and its Japanese so it will be reliable.

I want to drive around in the snow without any issues...s4/rs4 comes stnd with performance tires, throw a pair of blizzacks on the s4 and it's a dream in the snow!
Exactly my point. Why lower your selection of cars when a set of good snow tires will make any car good in the snow.

Outback or Forester XT... you will want nothing else...

Cheap and one of the best AWD systems on the market, right next to Audi's Quattro system.

also.

No AWD system can do any good without some traction to the surface it is driving on... so snow tires or some really good All-Seasons is KEY!!!!

Subaru doesn't do torque vectoring and at this point neither does Quattro (although I hear its in the works). SH-AWD does.
