I see a lot of 4-wheel drive luxury SUVs and others around East Tennessee. It's justifiable here. Add some rain or snow to the twisty steep hills and it comes in handy. Also have a lot of unpaved and gravel roads and long driveways. The usual luxury cars are rear wheel drive and not good under those conditions. The 9000 CS suits them perfectly, though. Really pleased with how it has handled this winter in snow and ice. Also like the way the heater warms up so fast. lauraknopsamousergraphics.com http://www.madmousergraphics.com web design, print design, photography
