Major snow storm to hit the US
Just heard it on the news, central USA will be hit with lots of snow today. At least over a foot of snow, Chicago area will get it bad.
Le Chef ! Better hit the the 'Winter mode" and report on how the car handles this much snow. If you can go through this, I sign the Dealer papers and order my XFR !!

last week after we had 12-14" dumped in philly I had to be at the hospital early and I had to take my car because my wife was away and had our SUV. Was a little worried, but winter mode and the snows are incredible! other suvs and cars were all over the road and stranded I rolled right past them like I was in a luxury tank. Funniest part was I was coming off an on ramp saw a guy with a jeep wrangler stuck in a snow bank shoveling himself out had to do a double take as I easily blew by him. If there was ever any doubt about this car in the snow its gone. I actually feel more comfortable and in control in my car than in my wife's SUV with all seasons

Let me say this once: THE XFR IS AMAZING IN SNOW AND ICE WITH SNOW TIRES. Yes, I used the word AMAZING. I have Bridgestone Blizzak LM-60's using the same size as the OEM front tires all around. Winter mode gives the car unbeatable poise and stability. Seriously, it's so easy to drive this car in the snow even up hills. There is no reason to get AWD.... It's that good.

How the car will handle snow was my main worry as I'm in Montreal Canada and we get it bad from decembre to march. From what I've read the Bridgestone Blizzak LM-60 in narrow 245-40-20 would be my choice to survive the worst conditions. What type/brand of winter tires do you have on ? they seem very good !
