My Q45 kicks ass in the snow!

Well, for the first time today, I drove my Q45 around on snow packed roads and I'd have to say I was nothing short of pleasantly surprised. Despite the fact that it's rear wheel drive, it'd blow the doors off my SVX in the snow any day of the week. The traction control does a surprisingly good job of preventing wheel spin. Also, it doesn't slide all over the friggin road like the SVX. I certainly have more confidence in the Q and find myself going faster. For 1800 bucks, what a fantastic buy. Just had to gloat.

The Q45 can do .9 G's in a turn? Q45 has the stability of AWD while only being RWD?? SURE.

Had a 94 Q45 for couple of years and my 92 SVX at the same time. Put lots of winter higher speed kilometers on both. Both with good winter tires. Q45 solid and fast ( in the dry) Pathetic in the snow! Quebec and Eatern Ontario winters = good testing grounds. Still a nice car though, great motor, a solid build. Lots of info on Q45 Yahoo site. Hope you cam guides are in good shape!
SVX much better in the snow. My 99 A8 is great too. The right tires can make all the difference.

That's public knowledge as I run a business, so what was the point of that? Does anything you do have a point?? Ever??( Aren't you gone yet??)
