Understanding this leads to being able to make informed decisions about buying vehicles and tires. Everyone can be just as enthusiastic as they wish and we all hope everyone enjoys their cars. The debate can easily end when everyone buys what they want, but doesn't try to mis-state facts.
BTW, in our corporate database I just checked, here are the top 5 U.S. states in descending order for all wheel drive intention for the next car purchased (excluding pickup trucks) n=~92,000:
1) New York
2) Michigan
3) Ohio
4) New Jersey
5) Wisconsin

It is a word game. C'mon.
