It sucks I live in Arizona so no snow. I can imagine though because back in the day when I was in highschool and lived in Minnesota I had a Talon AWD turbo, and that thing was so fun in the snow.

hahaha! Feast your eyes on this dark portion of my past! http://talon.aaron-wright.com

Oh god! What was I thinking... *shudders*

seriously though, biggest POS ever... but I'd beat ANYBODY in a snow race. Oh man I wanna try rally racing in snow. I'd totally buy a talon again for a race-only car.

i lived in denver for 3 years and got to drive my quattro all the time in the snow. its so sweet, i would watch these guys in hondas try to get going and they dont move but i could take off with no problem.

I don't know why... maybe it's cause the talon was so much faster... or lighter... but I could do things in the talon, that would leave the audi flipped over in a ditch -- and the audi is very capable in the snow.

EDIT: oh and the steering was a lot lighter in the talon... so palming the wheel was easy as pie (I suck at hand over hand) -- which is required for screwing around in the snow.

Good stuff guys.
I LOVE my car in the snow. It NEVER gets stuck in the snow.
Even when it gets really deep here in Toronto.

Haha, so deep that the military gets called in to help the non quattro'ers

EDIT: good post though, I've often wondered the same thing.
