All snow isn't the same, I've never seen powder like you'll see in videos with truck going thru 2' of snow. I've gotten stuck 200' from my house in a 02 Suburban 4x4 in 12-14" of snow. The bigger the belly the less stiff the snow has to be to get high centered, tires in the air there's no moving. I've also driven over 3' drifts in a S-10 blazer. Cars have more belly hanging lower than most truck/suv(suburban had a big belly). It's all about how much weight the snow will support per square foot and area of the belly.

My Cobalt XFE with good tires can drag it's belly, but depending on the snow 2-3" more and I'm walking. Restarting on hills or flats sometimes might be difficult, that's where AWD shines.
