I get that some need AWD, but those people are few.
I've told this story before, but I watched a Subaru WRX spin out with improper tires on ice and barely make it up a hill, and shortly after went up no problem in a minivan with winter-rated all-seasons.
AWD can help accelerate faster, but then again, you're probably already slowed down by traffic that doesn't also have AWD.
...then there was that time I offered to pull a full-sized 4x4 truck out of the snowy ditch with my Prius. He declined the offer.
