Portland should be fine with RWD. Winter tires will do more for you than AWD alone but I'm not sure I'd bother given the infrequent snow days in Portland. We live in Bend and get a decent if inconsistent amount of snow but still a lot more than Portland. Winter tires are absolutely awesome on snow and ice. AWD is still nice for moving from a stop or up a hill on the worst days. PNW has more hills than most of the cold climate cities mentioned so if your home or commute is on one of the steeper hills in Portland, AWD would be nice.

I vote AWD. Touring is a nice option. GT is you want/need the power and distance.
Is ground clearance an issue with the snowfall in Incline ? I'd been waiting for a Gravity to deal with deeper snow and the occasional rutted trailhead roads.

Instead of building mine from scratch, I asked the Sales Rep what was onsite in Seattle so that I could benefit from the $5K onsite bonus (which has now been reduced to $3K). From that I chose the car with the most options in the price range I was looking to spend. The options I had to choose from came down to Dream Drive Pro vs Surreal Sound Pro and the Santa Cruz Leather interior vs Mojave PurLuxe with 20 way massaging seats. I chose the DDP, PurLuxe interior and massaging seats.
