Besides, in the last 15 or so years even if the average driver knew how to turn off traction and stability control to spin the wheels out of a sticky situation how many average cars these days do you think even allow the feature to be fully turned off.
I sure hope BMW I mean Toyota included a DSC button somewhere on the center console of the Zupra and not buried somewhere deep in some iDrive menu.

They can almost all be turned off. You have gone full circle back to where I started. Many of the drivers just don't know how to turn them off. At this point I am no longer even sure what your point is actually. I referenced the 30 year since that is how long that cars have had the features you said cause issues in the snow. SUVs are better in deep snow yes but that does not mean that all the cars are useless in it. With the proper tires and driving technique they can all function fine. The advantages of the SUV are meaningless if they are not used properly. The marketing makes them seem invincible but they are not. A bad driver in an SUV can get stuck just as easily as a bad driver in a Corolla.
What is with this "big city" snobbery shit anyway? London has almost 500,000 people in it. It is larger than many boroughs of Toronto if taken individually. It isn't some sort of backwoods hicktown that you have implied several times now.
