I disagree. The sedans are stuck because the drivers don't know how to handle deep snow or the "snow" tires they have are well beyond their useful life. I have driven one model or another lowered car in the snow for 20 years and have not been stuck. The FRS has about 3" of clearance and I drive it every day even through deep snow with zero issue. Ironically the cars I see stuck the most are SUVs! More than once I have had to stop my lowered car on a snow covered road just to get out and help push one out of my way.
