Well if its not gonna get tooooo cold in your garage im pretty sure everything will be fine... Just give it an occasional start here and there letting the battery charge up a lil bit from being stored... Don't worry about it too much...

you should definitely start it up once a while, and leave it running for a bit. if you could do that once a week (or couple of weeks) your car will be fine. You could get an indoor car cover, so it wont get all dusty ha ha ha

I can't imagine owning a car and not driving it... (I do not live in snow country)

So you need an AWD to survive winter?

Until you realize how horrible the car handles in the snow, you won't be able to imagine trying to make it out of the driveway let alone out of the block...
