deals of the week

While overall new vehicle sales volumes have set records in 2015, that growth has largely come from double-digit increases in sales of SUVs and pick-up trucks. Passenger car sales are down more than 5 per cent compared to last year.

All-wheel drive is not a silver bullet for winter driving, but it can go a long way in preventing you from getting stuck in the snow. Peter Cheney recently explained the pros and cons of all-wheel drive in a recent article.

Attractive incentives across vehicles classes have also made all-wheel drive a more affordable feature . Here are our favourite all-wheel drive deals this week in advance the major snow storms:
