As for my brother I don't think reliability was a major reason for purchasing the A7. He wanted something new, luxurious and lots of tech and I guess the Audi fit the bill.

As for reliability my brother also has a 2010 Toyota Corolla as his daily driver. He's happy with his Corolla for what it is.

Most people who do purchase or lease BMW's/Benz they don't tend to keep those cars for a long time. When other people buy used BMW's/Benz then there's the issue of higher repair and maintenance costs for used/older BMW's/Benz vehicles.

Can someone provide the YTD for Audi, Bmw, Lexus and Mercedes?

Just curious to see how Lexus is doing against the big 3.
