You can always buy winter snow tires and a set of wheels for winter and have better traction than an AWD.
My neighbor does that with his RWD BMW.

Having been born and raised in Minnesota and now living in Kansas; snow driving isn't so much about the car as it is the driver. In a place that gets a lot of snow, people can practically drive a toboggan uphill. Down here, if it gets an inch of snow, it's armaggedon on the roads.

Agreed^. It's the lack of snow that's gets us. Since no snow equals no practice. Accidents everywhere when it snows an inch. Fortunately it didn't snow yet this winter being the first year I've owned my 350. OP, I'd get the rwd and snow tires if your worried. It'll be cheaper than an awd IS350.

I don't know about the prior year models but in the 2012, in low traction conditions, the ratio moves toward 50/50. I'm just saying and not getting into RWD vs AWD. I survived more winters than most in Jersey snow with RWD and I found it be a matter of common sense driving. Of course this assumes that you don't need a plow mounted on the front

that'd be pretty badass haha, playing the streets in my 350

You are correct, sir. The 70/30 split is for normal driving conditions.
