Nope...AWD isn't going to act like a 4WD vehicle which has a locking differential.

Nope...you're not going to "stick" to the road using all season tires when the temps drop below 45° F...regardless if there's snow on the ground or not.

Again, dedicated winter tires performance is superior to all season tires not only in snow...but when temps drop below 45°F...and I assume that ambient temps in Connecticut fall consistently below 45°F for many days during winter.

I will agree to disagree with you that xDrive is "weak"...it performs excellent for me in the Great Lakes region especially when equipped with the proper tires for the season.

Sorry that you're not getting the performance you expected.
