I have been in your situation. When we lived in MN my wife drove a Honda Accors (FWD) with snows, and I drove a Mustang GT (RWD) with snows. Neither of us ever got stuck. Of course the road clearing there is pretty good, and you just had to use your brain.
When we moved to CO, the weather can be good in the morning, and snowing by lunch, and my wife was commuting about 30 miles to work. We sold the Honda and got an AWD Volvo S60. The AWD system in the Volvos is made by Haldex, the same company that makes them for Audi. Since the S60 was a lease, and we really liked it, after we turned it in, she got an XC90. It has been good in the snow as well, but her commute is very short, albeit with two kids in the car, hence the size.
I drove a WRX for 3 years between 911's, and that thing would pretty much unstoppable. Not as good as my Tahoe in 4low, but for a car, it went anywhere.
My vote is a Subaru.
