Ironically, it is the SUVs that most often end up in the ditch during a snow storm. Its the combination of a high center of gravity and the idiot behind the wheel. Even RWD can work in snow with the right tires. Having said that, the best vehicle for driving in snowy conditions is probably an AWD car with snow tires. If the snow is so deep that you can't make it through in an AWD car, its probably best to stay off the road.
