Looks that way.
I placed my order beginning of September at $114,500 base. Just looked and indeed it's up to $119,900 on audiusa.com. This kind of pricing strategy is interesting (as well as disconcerting to prospective buyers). Whether I'll actually get the car at that price is anyone's guess, however. It's supposed to start building this week, and I did get a "thanks for ordering" email from Audi this morning, but everything else is up in the air.

Its not a price increase per say, they just standardized the drivers assistance package which used to be optional

Well, the DAP only accounts for $1750 of the difference (based on what I paid). Of course there could be other options subsumed in the increased base price, but I don't know what they would be.

Also the sport exhaust was made standard too. The base price in Canada was also raised about 3k which equals the exact amount of the DAP and sport exhaust options.

My 2022 RSQ8 was received for Customer Sold Order Build on June 14 and Frozen to Changes on July 28. It was due to be built Sept 5, but now has been pushed back to an ETA Build date of Nov 16.
With this new updated price increase, would you expect the sticker to be the newer costs when built now on the website, or the sticker to be when the vehicle was ordered and 'Frozen to Changes". It's about a $4,200 difference.

If you have a signed Purchase Agreement with your dealer, dated BEFORE 10/1/21, and specifies an exact price, AND the car physically arrives to the dealer prior to 1/1/22, then your dealer can prepare a specific document, which is then given to Audi USA, to honor the prior pricing. Anyone who's situation does not meet this criteria, pays the new price.
FWIW, every model went up, across the board. But, it wasn't just an MSRP increase. Dealer cost went up too, so a straight linear relationship
