Yes...definitely it will be better in the snow. I drove one at the dealer and it did seem to have enough power...of course it isn't a Camaro, but it felt good. The deal was delayed a little, because as usual, when you get there to sign the papers, the payment is higher than what they quoted you. So I told him to stick it. They reworked the deal to get it to what I was quoted, and I pick it up tomorrow morning. Am I to understand that if you have the hands free automatic door, you would also get the push button start where the key doesn't need to be in the ignition switch...just in your pocket close to the car?
