Default A new winter beater car?

So this car looks good http://www.carbuzz.com/news/2016/2/8...essor-7731880/
traction control, all wheel drive, electronically locking differentials and so forth, it's probably rather well suited to the task.

Of all of the cars that they will build, how many do you think will actually see so much as a rain drop, never mind real winter use on snowy, salty. yucky roads.

I detail a Ferrari FF and told my customer he needs Blizzaks so he can drive in the snow. He just looked at me and laughed. I do not like the look of his or this one either. For a lot less I like the F430.

I agree, for an F-car, that is ugly.

I can't even imagine how much it will be to repair that allwheel drive system I'm sure it is staggering.
