Buying an exec saloon for a short commute - A6 or GS?
I drive a 2005 Lexus GS300 and love the reliability, standard level of equipment and comfort. I want to change up to a newer car (1-3 years old).
I cover 20,000 miles per year, 70 per cent of which is a short distance commute each day lasting no more than 20 miles. I'm thinking a Lexus GS300H 2014/15 OR Audi A6 2.0 diesel 2014/15. My gut tells me the Lexus is the better option for me based on my driving habits but would appreciate your thoughts or suggestions of an alternative not mentioned here.

Definitely the Lexus hybrid rather than the Audi diesel.
If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.
