It never pays to prejudge your (potential) customers.
Agree.
How many of theses sales are necessary, and who gets to decide that? some portion of the fleet is lost every day due to accidents, while another portion is uneconomical to repair. and in the rustbelt, again some are too rusty.
It snows in Kentucky-sometimes pretty bad. It would seem AWD would be advantageous. Utah does a phenomenal job clearing the roads. But the side streets aret cleared after the main arteries. And of course the parking lots are private property.
When it snows I usually take the Mini, which is fitted with Vredestein all-season winter rated tires. Worst case weather scenario, I take the Wrangler. If I didn’t have those options, I’d buy a dedicated set of winter tires/wheels and swap them over in late fall. I did that on my wife’s RWD card and she never had a moment’s trouble in winter weather.
But it might have that cool hole in the roof!
To each his own; RWD is my preferred drivetrain configuration for the cars I drive for enjoyment. Although I'll freely admit that I wouldn't kick an M5 Competition out of the garage.I drive a Subaru as my DD....so I do see a good AWD system as a benefit.
My commuter car is a Clubman, not terribly exciting, but a pleasant enough drive- and it returns 40 mpg.
The mini is the one WITHOUT A SPARE TIRE RIGHT?
That's great there are some that have run flats with no spare.
Well....there are some hot cars on that list. New car threads of any kind don't go too far on here because many here just want beaters for $5,000.00.
