I think don't think AWD is unnecessary in snow. Whenver there is a few inches on the road, I find it troublesome to go up steep hills with my Saab. For instance, to get to my house: I have to make a left hand turn at a stop sign up a steep hill. Whenever it snows, my '98 900 SETC w/snow tires has trouble making the turn and traveling up the hill. With the MB wagon 4matic (all season tires), I have no problem with it.
