well my 940 behaves on icy/frosty road pretty neutral - maybe it is also because I have about 70 more kg in the trunk (LPG-tank). But with 760 it was almost impossible to move (it was automatic transmission..) The true fact is, that for normal driving during the winter FWD is better - climbs better to hills (but I did not have problems with my either.) - well car from Sweden probably must drive on icy roads well
