I was not talking about you specifically and with 19 inch ultra high performance summer tires you're not going anywhere in the snow

Why don't they just make all the cars the width of the C4?

Wow dude, maybe take a Xanax. The market must be getting to you...

Notice my wink at the end. I was saying it in a playful manner. And FWIW, I drove just fine in the snow last Monday with summer tires.

I hate people more and more daily.

One of the least flattering panamera pics I have seen. What is wrong with the wing? Other than the size and location I mean.

I like big butts and I can not lie
You other brothers can't deny
That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
And a round thing in your face
You get sprung
Wanna pull up tough
Cuz you notice that butt was stuffed
Deep in the jeans she's wearing
I'm hooked and I can't stop staring

woah first off the wink and the sarcasm does not work well on boards so forgive me for missing it. Yea you can get home in the snow but lets face it the 4 is not meant for the snow.

Dont be a hater bro

I prefer the narrower bodies because they cheat the wind better. Take a look at CD figures between the models. Over the long haul, if you don't truly NEED 4WD, you're better off without it. and get OVER the F.E.! (Fender Envy)

Agreed - If I were living in San Diego instead of DC, I'd have bought another C2S.

And Trader, sorry for the misunderstanding.

Yeah you're right, the widebody C4's have way too much aerodynamic drag! lol
Here's a good example of the C2's CD advantage. I love how they kept the round headlights and the wide rubber in the back!

Hey Edgy01, I love you so I'll buy you a beer anyway:
