I disagree,since there is no saying that you cannot mount a set of good snow tires on attractive alloy wheels and it will not kill the looks. There are lots of better looking wheels on the market than Saab's so called Klingon wheels anyway. The car's pleasant aesthetics are based on a lot more than the wheels.
I think that the original post was comparing a 9-5 to a conventional BMW rear driver, not the X-5. Obviously, the X-5 will have good winter performance,if it didn't,why in the world would anyone buy it?
The Aero is a highly competent vehicle in snow as long as you put four good snows on it. I think the original post was correct. It is not fair to compare the aero, or any 9-5 with a vehicle like the X-5 when it comes to winter traction. The x-5,at it's mid 50s price point, is a lot of money,roughly 15 K more than an Aero.
