I still have the stock Michelin tires on (which are not that great ) but the sh-awd is pretty darn good in the snow... and not to mention, fun. Get it sideways and you'll be sliding like a rwd car drifting in the parking lot .
Anyways I don't remember how much of a difference the FWD TL was, but if you're worried about gas mileage. DO NOT PICK UP THE SH-AWD. I only do city driving which gets ME @ 12mpg-15mpg.
Love it though, I take my car everywhere.. Even if friends offer to drive me.. =] =] =]
Oops sorry. Skimmed through it and missed what OP said. Hope to see pictures soon!

I am here in Sunny California (not today) and enjoy nice weather. I was in similar situation like yourself where SH-AWD is really necessary or just go with FWD (coming from 2003 Honda Accord V6). Well....... No doubt SH-AWD is simply best but you will suffer with gas and maintenance. FWD will get you slight better gas mileage. All-in-all knowing myself, I went with SH-AWD and have absolutely no regret!!!! So much fun to drive despite 17-18MPG average. Again I suggest AWD.... Hope this helps you out.

The car's a 2012 with 31,000 miles. I bought it with 2... Haha, I'm pretty sure it's well past any cool down period. Unless my dealer's super generous! But alas, my next car is 100% gonna be AWD. Can't beat it. Might not be a TL though, I'm looking at you, fully loaded ZDX.
