Alaska is Awsome. I find the snow nice... on a Snowmachine! HHR no issues in the snow. I've owned a couple diff model accords and a RWD pickup. So far its above adverage for a FWD car. I suspect a LSD would correct 1/2 the slipping in the snow. I would like to see an AWD HHR but, it wouldnt have been cheap enough for me to afford new at the time. I woulda ended up with the low end RWD Colorado even worst in snow. Too bad it cant pull my machine.
