Point taken:-)  But that's why I didn't use the word "good" but "best".  The
best all-seasons may be crap in the snow, but there is still a best
all-season in the snow.

One of my favorite things about Quattro is it's ability to outperform FWD/RWD
cars in the snow without using dedicated snow tires.  I am very happy with
the way the 4kcsq accelerates in the snow without snow tires.  Stopping is
something else.....

When the snow gets really deep my Syncro Westfalia with BFG A/T's takes over.
