Subaru's pricing scale aside, if Audi didn't make a superior AWD system to volume brands, that would be puzzling.

Most low level Audi and all AWD VW's use a Haldex FWD based system to which the Subaru full time AWD system is better. The Audi vectoring systems are superior to Subaru who's AWD systems are built to a cost.
They most advanced AWD systems you can buy today are the Audi vectoring, Nissan ATTESA E-TS (GTR), Mitsubish S-AYC (Lancer Evolution), Honda SH-AWD. Now the benefits of these torque vectoring systems is more performance oriented so for the average driver the low-tech Subaru viscous centre differential works very well in poor weather.
