A Toyota is a downgrade? I guess if you don't enjoy one of the most dependable cars on the road, yeah it's a downgrade. TBH, all wheel drive is great, but you are over paying for it, expecially in a car. Front wheel drive works just fine in bad weather. An Impala that I rented a few years back that was just front wheel drive handled just as well as my Escape that is AWD. Not to mention, I think the newer body Toyota's have a pretty sleek look to them. It's personal preference, but you have plenty of time to do some research and find exactly what you want.
