Default hmmmm... winding road is all over the M3 and they think the sticker

will be $59k... if that's the case, Audi had better price the S5 accordingly (low $50s) and come out with an a$$-whooping RS5 post-haste!

Even if they were $ for $, I'd still take the S5 though... couldn't live with that awful bimmer interior... blech. barf.

Default why do they need an ***-whooping rs5, when the current RS4 still beats the new M3? :)

and I seriously doubt the M3 will be 59k

Default well, the RS4 just looks like an A4 on 'roids... Audi needs to kick their

*** in style, not in a sedan!

no offense, if you have one... I drive an A4 and I think it's perfectly mundane.

Default I don't think they could justify too much more of a differential between the

335 and M3 base prices, as it stands, it's already almost $20k! That's more than the premium Audi or MB charges for their equivalents, right?

2 doors > 4 doors. Audi needs an RS coupe to be a real player in the performance car game

Default oooh. good point.

those cars are in a different bracket though me thinks... look at the friggin' SL65... I think it's something like $50k more than the SL600... krazy!
