I thought it was mostly California.

All the parts I see for sale are SoCal or NorCal

Nothing but AWD Sedans here in Upstate New York, by an overwhelmingly bland and obvious margin.

Same AWD saturation here in PA. RWD's have been very rare to find in stock. People have been brain-washed by marketing telling them they need AWD or will cease to survive. Then the bit about AWD negating the need for snow tires, etc. It's a sad commentary on social dynamics. The end result is no RWD market in the snow belt, so dealers don't order any lest they be stuck w/ them.

I'm of the same opinion, and have been saying so for years. In that context, be forewarned that the AWD crew will fight that opinion tooth & nail, lest they abandon their comfortable rationale. Stay frosty, Mr. Skeener.

is it because the awd cost more, so the dealer just stocks all awd ?

All car sales are fed by market forces that blow in circular winds.

There are some places that AWD makes sense, though. For example, I lived in KS for five years. Got stuck multiple times in my Mustang--I often could not even get out of my parking spot at my apartment even though it was covered. But snow tires in KC are a no go...it just doesn't snow enough there. You would be driving snow tires on dry roads above 40 degrees 80-90% of the time for four months a year. Just does not make sense.

Would be awesome for California to have affordability and be gun friendly.

Would be paradise.
