Add in a 4dr e90 M3 with v8 powerplant and that price justification becomes almost unfathomable to me. I understand that you still don't get awd but the e90 is even cheaper than the e92....but I guess audi never produced the RS4 in an e90 m3 year.
Just curious as to whether the rs5 is a competitor for an m3 or an m6?

I'll bet it is every bit of $80k or more. A well optioned S5 is close to $65k so you have to assume at least a $15k premium for the RS. It might even be more. I hope I'm wrong, but if the car does end up well over $80k I would have a hard time buying it over a 911 C2S.
