I hope so. I really like how the RS5 looks. I'm just concerned the price might start getting out of hand considering what the RS4 was going for.

So how much this thing is going to cost? Last gen RS4 went from $66,910 to $81,900 so I figure a semi-loaded RS5 (like the ones you'll find on the lot) in the US will be around AT LEAST $75k if not more.

At $75k there are too many more attractive choices than the RS5...

Price range is crawling to GTR territory, better perform like one.

With a reasonably loaded S5 at $61K, that's about right

Hmm Audi is starting to get boring now. This one looks like a prototype Bimmer. Still sick car tho.

Seriously doubtful. There's little reason for Audi to even attempt to compete with the GT-R on price. The GTR will always lack refinement and be rather crude godsend of performance compared to the RS5. There's no reason for them to try and upsurp their R8 at half the price.

The car is amazing, but yes the price will be astronomical as usual
