audi should have just kept the 4.2L in the s5 and made the RS5 really something special (and not 3,900 lbs), I feel like the the RS and M brands are just not want they used to be anymore. Im worried about the direction of this class of cars.
edit: and it still cannot beat their one main rival in that car class, the m3..

You might want to read up on the RS5 V8 vs the S5 V8. Also, as mentioned the starting price likely includes most features but I'm sure final MSRPs will be slightly higher than M3.
This could be my next car down the road a few years, mainly for the Quattro but also the performance isn't that far off the M3. RS5 is an awesome GT car.
