Not to spoil the love-fest, but the V8 in the A6 leaves little room for the
mechanic. The A8, being a bigger car, has more room to wrench. But if you
decide on ease of wrenching, you'd be driving an air-cooled VW bug.

With the money I've dumped into my A4, I coulda had an A8, or a 4.2L A6.
Common sense tells me to go with a used Taurus; my heart says S8. But what
do I know about common sense?
