Thread-topic: What makes a good snow car?
Maybe. My wife's BMW is pretty decent in the snow too. Again, approx.
50/50  distribution and RWD. 
 
Best snow car I owned was an '82 Tercel. FWD, but with Spridet sized
155/13 tires (and a Spridget sized 1500cc motor and 5spd). Never got
stuck anywhere with that car.

My pick up truck is a total disaster in the snow which leads me to 
believe most of the SUVs which are glorified pick ups, are just as bad 
in the snow. 
It has a 80/20 weight distribution and rear wheel drive. 
I am wondering if the 50/50 weight has anything to do with snow 
driveability? 
The Sprites are all really good in the snow too, again, close to a 50/50
weight.
