I Exclude all the Germain....because I do never like their Reliability.

I have seen Infiniti Intelligent AWD commercial, but that doesn't say much. I have seen Subaru actions on the footage...looking great.
I've only been stuck in the snow once in my STI and that was this winter. I slid sideways down a grade of ice and went off road. Tried to power out of it sideways and slid up onto a 1' thick pile of ice from the plows. That's a rare event and no AWD vehicle would have made it out of where I got stuck. We had to dig all of the ice out from under the car then get a few tugs from a pickup truck.

I've passed friends coming up my parents' driveway through 1' deep fluffy snow. The car just blows a huge cloud of snow out the sides and powers through it. I had TONS of fun sliding sideways around corners before the ice and negative temperatures kicked on.
