Yea as shocked as I was GSH is the way to go for the perfect car! My GS was horrible with all season tires and so/so with top of the line snow tires brand new!

I don't get this I store my car for winter and drive another car?

I think back to my 97 SC days. Wow, have we come along way with traction technology. The SC was horrible in the snow.

GS450h people, do not be afraid of driving these cars in the snow. If you have a decent set of all season tires on, driving in snow-mode is totally doable.

I went for a spin today in the ice. we had very little accumulation but it did freeze over. he GSH performed just fine without switching from normal to snow mode.
