You guys surprise me the best make is obviously Lancia.

"Lancia is the most successful manufacturer in world rallying ever. The company has more than 74 victories on its account and 11 World Rally Championships."

Getting back to reality I would have to say Subaru ftw. For 4 years I drove an Impreza RS and my co-worker drove the same year A4 Quatro; let me tell you I picked his a$$ up for work in more than a few snow storms cause he was stuck. Or broken down lol.

Infiniti's are great in the dry but only a little better than fwd in the wet/snow in my opinion.





Lancia Delta Integrale

I have to disagree, last weekends noreaster showed me the G37x is a beast in the snow. Remember it's not about racing, it's about not getting stuck and control.

The order of the list depends on what the benchmarks are to measure the list.
Can't agree with you at all about BMW. The Xdrive system is widely recognized as one of the worst AWD systems on the market. And, the Xdrive system does not have a torque vectoring rear differential like the Mitsu, GTR, Audi or SH-AWD.

The AWD system in the GTR is the best of the best that Nissan/Infiniti offers. And if you ever get a chance to drive a GTR on a track, you'll know why it is better than the other systems available.

I didn't put Subaru's DCCD because it doesn't have the same torque vectoring rear differential that SH-AWD has. The rear differential makes all the difference in handling compared to the DCCD which allows you to adjust the front/rear torque bias with the little **** by the shifter.

By the way, anyone claiming they got stuck in ANY of these AWD systems all that means is that the car didn't have the proper tires on it or you ran into a snow drift that was too high for he clearance of the car.
