What should be my next winter car?

Well you have quite a high budget which give you ALOT of room to buy and mostly new. I would have to go with a Subaru WRX STI Sedan for about 33k and it comes turbo with 305hp. And with the extra cash you saved you can easily tune the STI to get it running past 400hp easy. Plus the person who said Subaru is right. In my opinion Subaru has the most refined and advanced AWD systems on the market, due to the fact that AWD comes on ALL their models. Scratch out the Euro cars in your list due to the fact they have super high maintenance costs. The Infiniti would be a really nice car. Also look at the Cadillac CTS Coupe or Sedan, which comes with an AWD version. Which the coupe looks very sporty and luxurious at the same time.
