Have to disagree, even a 4wd V6 Rav4 would handle better than a 300 on Blizzaks. Have seen quite a few, having to go slow pretty slow when the roads get sloppy...
So you know what tires they had on and their skill level as a driver? Were they RWD or AWD models?
I know they had winters on, and they were just RWD. As Fobroader said, plain jane 300, he didn't say AWD. So I think (and suspect many would agree) that a RWD 300 with just winters, wouldn't make this list. We were talking about cars, not the drivers... any decent driver can make do with what he has, it would the driver, not the tool. In this case, we are talking about better tools, to make it easier on the driver....
