I had driven that car in snow up to its bumpers without problem. It could go through anything.
I dont feel quite as confident in the SVX's AWD, it doesnt feel as stable. I have bought a new set of tires for it though and it does feel better, its not sliding around as much, but I dont have the confidence in the car that I had with my legacy.

AMEN! You and many others.
I remember once having to have my buddy, in his legacy, clear the way for me so I could get out in my SVX. His legacy was up to it's bumper in snow, pushing it out of the way. No way in hell an SVX could do that. There was about 2 feet of snow on the ground. I'd have gotten about 4 inches at best before getting stuck.
