love the car, but not the price...

Lets see... 414hp @ 3700 pounds at dealer asking price of $70k

OR

New M3 with 400hp $ 3300 pounds for about $60k

Not to mentioned that the steering wheel and seats aren't even coming to US shores is laughable on AOA's part AND that most Los Angeles Audi dealers are incompetent.

Why not set the standard for years not weeks?

and now I don't have full-frontal shots

DolphinV8 · 11-03-2005, 03:23 AM

81K & 500hp

Some will argue that the RS4 is smaller and will handle better, but the M5 is far and away a better all around performance car. The RS4 should be priced in the low to mid 60s.
Audi does not seem to understand the competition. The E90 M3 is going to be amazing and can be had for thousands less. Plus, BMW still has that "gotta have it" catch with many consumers. Audi does not have that same kind of brand appeal IMO.

no one would have the S4 now...they would all have M3's. I think it will still sell just fine.

jmsod · 11-03-2005, 06:32 AM

I think many will agree that the RS4 is over-priced at $70+K.

scheduled to tdy out that way next week and would love to see this thing up close.

New M3 should have 425 and I would say loaded if you opted for nav and smg will be 68,000-70,000 will be more available than rs4. Remember e46 loaded was about 60,000 with sport package about 62,000-64,000 new M3 will go up in price as did m5 from mid seventies to mid nineties. I do not think Audi is too concerned as they are only going to be giving 2-4 cars to each dealers.

Some will argue that the RS4 is smaller and will handle better, but the M5 is far and away a better all around performance car. The RS4 should be priced in the low to mid 60s.
