My first post. Have owned Mercedes for the past 10 years (current is a 560 SEL) and prefer there performance, reliability, and safety design features. But I live in the mountains of western North Carolina and AWD would be nice. I like the Audi cosmetics and the way their spec sheet reads (4.2 V-8 sedan with AWD) but I am suspect about Audi reliability. After all, AWD is nice but if it want start, shift, etc.; what's the benefit?
How does the 4.2 compare to other Audis for reliability and ease of upkeep and to Mercedes? Thanks to all responders.
