AWD does not stop or turn better than a RWD vehicle on snowy/icy roads. Nothing some decent all-season or better yet dedicated snow tires couldn't solve!

As for being made in China, a BEV grocery getter made in China bothers me far less than the next-gen M2 being made in Mexico!
I ski, and most days they will ticket you if they find you up the canyon without AWD. Also would suck to be that guy in line fishtailing up the hill, blocking both lanes, causing big delays as I always tend to run into at least once or twice a season. Super inconsiderate for people to take such vehicles up skiing thinking they can get away with it and making huge traffic jams in the process.
