this car isnt even in the same class, it'll prolly be priced closer to the IS-F.
if u want to compare the is350 to anything from audi it would be the A4 or the S4 and even that is priced closer to IS-F

Word is Audi will make 4 engines available: their bread and butter 2.0 turbo 4 cylinder (with either the 6 speed sport shift or manual transmission), the 265 hp 3.2 V6 (sport shift, DSG, or manual), a 340 hp V8 (DSG or manual), and a 420 V8 (from the RS 4, DSG only). They will also make quattro optional. So, in my guesstimation, I would say it would start in the low $30k price range, and could balloon up to $60k with the 420 hp V8 and DSG.
But it does appear, in some fashion at least in principle, to be an attainable purchase for most of us.

If the base A4 had the exterior of the RS4 i would have bought it right away. Don't expect the A5 coupe to look this good as in the photos unless you're buying the top of the line S5
