$70K is just a guess right now. We'll need to wait until it comes to the US. However, Audis have traditionally been priced a bit above similar BMWs. The premium over the M3 may not be worth it to you. But, as the reviews seem to be saying, the RS5 is a more refined car then the M3. And to some people that makes it the better car.

Same for the Caddy. To some people the fact that it's faster than the M3 and is built in the US (I think) make it the better car.

But, I'm not "some people".


Cheers.
