The Ascent comes standard with AWD. The comment that the Ascent is selling well in Sun Belt states because they don't need AWD. So why are Ascents, all of which AWD, selling disproportionately well in states where AWD offers little benefit?
I'd expect an automotive journalist to (1) know that all Ascents are AWD and (2) be able to explain why southerners who don't deal with hard winter driving still like them when there are any number of other makers offering CUVs that models with both FWD and AWD.
