If they actually follow through on making the Slate as privacy friendly as they claim in this article, and it doesn't have any major flaws, I'm gonna go ahead and say this is perhaps one of the best options for someone in need of a mini-truck/SUV hybrid.

I want to know how judgy I should be of you

(lots of people claim AWD is necessary in the winter and most of them are just shitty drivers with bad tires, and I want to know if you're in that group)

"Hey, participate in your own judgment by some person on the internet who wants to somehow gatekeep a friggin drivetrain."

Nah, I'm good. I've lived here for decades and can drive in whiteout and icy conditions without AWD, but choose the added benefits and control of having it these days. And the hell with dealing with those conditions with RWD ever again.
