If I recall correctly, the last gen RS4 started at like 75k-80k. I can't see this RS5 starting any lower than 90k

As for the RS5.... sticker +++++
no kidding. when i was shopping for m3, i saw there were 3 brand new rs4 (end of 2008) at the dealership, and the discount was insane... they basically had so much trouble getting rid of the rs4 toward the end of the cycle

Maybe if it was a salvage title. The cheapest one I've seen was $95K and it had particularly high miles.

I'll have to see it in real life, but it's a bit too overdone for me. I prefer the gracefulness and conservative (yet sporty) looks of the S5.

Great interior, though.

Amazing looking...just incredible. I think this thing needs to be priced like $65,000-$75,000...priced any more than that and there are other cars I'd rather have for the money.

I wish Audi priced their cars more competitively with Lexus, BMW, and Benz.

Then Audi wouldn't be really be Audi if they offered more competitive pricing .

The S5 starts at 52K, so I just can't see the RS5 starting at 65K. My guess would be 68-69K minimum, with over 70K being possible as well. If the RS5 has a V10, then I would almost guarantee MSRP will be over 70K.

Here is the cheapest R8 in the country at $97K according to Autotrader.com:

Please show me one of these mythical $75K R8s that you've seen.
