And, yes, there will be a RS5 and it will be a great car blah blah blah....
M3 will have to be it for a while until we see some RS5's.......even then it might be head to head w/ M3 as far as performance is concerned....
Buying a S5 would of been great savings over M3 (Minus Audi's depreciation) but then why buy a beautiful car that is just boring to drive....

you probaly should go read some more.
the car does 0-60 in 4.9, thats hardly a 'boring' drive. Offering more comfort, more practical technology and less overengineering, the S5 is a more affordable more practical version of an M3.
If i were to get one TODAY, id buy an M3, just because i would enjoy it more than i would an S5... but the S5 has a higher quality interior (if you took out the M// stuff, you'd have trouble telling the M3 from a 328) is more comfortable and has a less punishing ride.
but this time next year... RS5 all the way.

usually when an automaker comes out and says they are NOT making a car, i stop using it in comparisons.
