That's a lot of snow I was going to ask where you live but it looks like Buffalo, NY i would imagine you have a bunch of snow on the ground now. I live in Northeast, Ohio an hour Northeast of me had 60" inches of snow last weekend.Buick Regal TourX. Not a lot of wagons around! Ended renting a bronco sport during one of my work trips and really liked it. The regal was rearended so I added Bronco Sport to my vehicle search. Ended up finding a badlands with the same named package, 2.0L really fits the bill and its great for the snow.
Surprisingly the Regal Tourx has a big skid plate on the front, heavier duty than many of the Z71 trucks I had lol... also had torque vectoring diff, and a 2.0L turbo. Was perfect for send it moments over plow banks and occasional trips on dirt. Baby Bronco the perfect replacement/upgrade.

Yeah Buffalo, NY. That picture of the Regal was from the prior year winter (maybe prior prior).That's a lot of snow I was going to ask where you live but it looks like Buffalo, NY i would imagine you have a bunch of snow on the ground now.

Damn that's a lot of Snow i hate the snow now that i'm 57 especially when i had to borrow the neighbors snow blower once when mine wouldn't start.It does now after i bought a new carb for it,it started in the spring.I tried cleaning the carb out but it didn't help not sure what was wrong with it.FWIW i loved the snow when i was in HS and i was younger just not anymore messy snow and the cold isn't for me. Glad to hear you BS goes good in the Snow especially where you Live.Yeah Buffalo, NY. That picture of the Regal was from the prior year winter (maybe prior prior).
Living south of the City now... so really find myself in the snow! The Sport drove itself right out of the last bad storm and through the end of driveway easily. No more maneuvering the blower around the car to make a path when its over the bumper! Just drive it out! Slippery mode is actually really intelligent, first vehicle I've owned where I didn't feel like traction control was designed to get you stuck. Honestly just digs in, no slip once its gets that first lurch and very planted.
Planning to have one of the garage queens stored elsewhere or sold for next year and tuck it inside.
Was actually intresting this last couple snow falls. Had a rental GMC terrain during the car search. It had a little mountain mode that did alright in the snow but nothing like this. Was really nice having the back to back comparison.
Literally plowed its way out!

Short time owning, really is my favorite daily driver next to the V8 Colorado I had years ago. Sold it because I started making long distance drives at that thing with 4:10's and 4 speed would get 15mpg... always.. towing, city, highway.. 15 lol.

What are your Garage Queens?
This is in my Garage!!98 Formula with a 408 Stroker and 05' CTS-VV is mostly stock.
Can't confirm or deny if the Bronco Sport now has a tune, but if it did I would say the transmission shifts with the slip taken out are great and sucker squats hard. Local tuner made a great tune when these first came out.
