and you being in Norway have lots more bad weather than I do in New England, but if the weather is bad enough to truly need AWD, unless the roads are empty the added speed and control AWD gives you kind of go to waste, IMHO, at least here in the land of crowded roads. Yes, it's great for overall control and security, and especially for being able to start from a stop on a hill on ice, but how often does one need to do that?
I do agree that it's nice to have, and I know my wife would like it, but she got around just fine in snow this past winter in a 9-5 wagon, after 7 years in a fat SUV with 4WD. FWD, 4 snows and traction control did the job.
I think AWD is nice but over-rated, IMHO. But if it sells more Saabs it's not a bad thing!
