Now - for car experts - can one car be "better in the snow than another"
She really likes the new Altima's. Her friend drives one and says it's fine in the winter. Two cars, same manufacturer, 2 years difference, different frame/body.
Personally I think it's tires and skill. The wheelbase may have a slight difference as well as the weight. I think the Altima has a much heavier engine.

well make her KNOW. proper winter tires make a world of difference, it doesn't matter if you have the greatest 4x4 SUV around if you have crap tires you won't be going anywhere
i drove a K-Car when i first moved to Calgary, yet i still passed SUV's stuck in the snowbank because i had good winter tires on it. if you want to make your life easier and save her a lot of money in the long run, spend it on a set of Blizzaks or Nokians
