AWD Less buttons with the same functionality - ala BMW Sportier feel

Any luck on this? I have a 2005 Tahoe - (duh) - and it is very quiet. I had to drive 200 miles to buy from a dealer that I trust. So, take it to another dealer.

I almost forgot. This is off the current discussion of FWD RWD. Let me preface this by saying that I am not an engineer. :) Just someone who has been around cars, mechanics, and entire family loves / drives some GM product, and been a GM fan, myself since I can remember. Doorhandles! My pet peeve... Flimsy feeling doorhandles. I know it may sound silly, but... What is the first and maybe only exterior part of a car that you interact with? The doorhandle. When they feel like they are going to fall off the door, you worry about the quality of the car itself. It may not have anything to do with the quality, but give me a solid doorhandle any day. Good ones: G6 (better than the Mercedes C230 - try it out!) Bonneville Tahoe, Yukon, etc Any of the Cadillacs Plasticky doorhandles: Lacrosse H3 Try them out for yourself! Something to ponder at any rate and doesn't seem like it would add alot of cost to a vehicle.

RWD is important for performance as has been stated above. I used to have a 1999 Trans Am and got stuck out in an ice/snow storm and made it home OK, so really don't see the need for FWD. If I had known about / there was going to be a Cadillac CTS / STS, I would have waited but wound up with a BMW 328. I looked and looked and there was nothing like it available from GM at the time. I wanted a 4 door smaller sedan with a 5-speed - the salesman told me it was RWD and that sold me. A RWD Pontiac / Saturn sedan would be fun also... (IMHO) :D
