I'm going to give it a whirl. My buddy drove it in Calgary on winter tires and said it was pretty decent. It has excellent traction/stability control apparently and is manageable if you are any kind of a decent driver. So I won't let the wife near it in the winter, but I should be good.
It'll definitely be a step up from what I drove last winter - a 2WD Chev Silverado. It only has manual traction control (take foot off if spinning). I almost drove that bastard into a wall out of anger a few times last year.
