It's been fun readings the opinions of the current X-Fire owners. I'm considering becoming one of you. Problem - Winter in Minnesota. I'm not planning on a winter beater so the X-Fire would be it. What is the best way to go - smaller wheels with snow tires? None of the cars at the Dealer have the Continentals - they all have the standard Pilots. Are the Continentals on the standard wheels the answer? I'd be interested to hear opinions.

What does everyone think of the "Aluminum" strip around the windshield? I didn't care for it with the red paint. How is it with black? Any pictures available.
