Advice needed on winter driving and different types of cars.

I was prompted to question you guys after being stuck in the snow yesterday for an hour and finally being pushed out by my brother in law's Jeep uphill and on a sheet of ice. It was impressive what the Liberty could do and pathetic how little the GTA could do. It got me thinking.I've only had fbodies since I started driving and always worked close until the last year.
With all this snow and terrible vehicles to drive in what would you guys do.

My new Camaro stays in, my 99 may be sold to make some options possible, and my 91 is barely passable in any sort of snow as it sits.

1. Suck it up and just keep using sick days as needed.

2. Invest in a set of dedicated winter tires and 15' wheels for the GTA

3. Buy an economical fwd sedan

4. Buy a used awd sedan Subaru, Speed 6, G35x etc-are these that great in snow or are they marginally better than a regular fwd sedan.

5. Just get a 4x4 Jeep Cherokee Sport or Blazer to deal with any weather condition mother nature can throw at us.

Thanks in advance for the input and hope it may help others who may be in the same situation.
