depends on your priorities / typical conditions. your best fuel economy and cheapest to buy/maintain is going to be a small fwd car with snow tires. but if you often get too deep of snow for such a car then i'd refer to the previous post. while it might be nicer to have the awd and ground clearance this winter, come next summer you might feel differently about the mileage you could be giving up.

i'd say get a car, and drive the land cruiser when weather dictates. personally i prefer how a small car with narrow tires handles in the winter, and i dont break out my truck for getting around purposes unless the snow is up to the saturns airdam, or everyone is sliding around on ice and i'd rather let ppl try to smash up my old truck than the plastic saturn.
