[NSRCA-discussion] New Vehicle

[jeffghughes at comcast.net]

If you keep decent tires on a FWD car, it'll go through snow till it gets deep enough to float on it (speaking from my experience in da UP). I do know what driving in a winter that got 396 inches of snow feels like! I wouldn't pay the extra money and lower fuel economy for AWD over a front wheel drive car. I would agree about your expedition, as it's rear wheel drive, which can be miserable in the snow.

I want to thank everyone for all the suggestions and recommendations.  Even though the response for the 
Chrysler/Dodge minivans was overwhelming I'm afraid I won't be considering one.  They have stopped making the 
AWD version and living in Iowa during the winter makes AWD or 4WD just about mandatory.  Each winter there has 
been somewhere we just HAD to get to and without the 4WD on the Expedition we wouldn't have made it. 
So... 
Looks like either a Toyota Sienna or Ford Flex.  Between model years like we are inventories are pretty low. 
Thanks to the Internet I was able to cast a pretty broad net so should be hearing from dealers as the 2010's 
come in. 
Thanks everyone!

Can the Town and Country with stow and go seating carry 2 adults, 2 kids, a small dog and a 2m airplane?  In other words can it be used to haul the family circus plus an airplane or two?
