Edmunds - Inside Line on the RS4.

Merc1 · 06-13-2006, 06:06 AM

You get what you pay for
All that performance doesn't come cheap. Our test car, which was fully loaded with the $4,700 premium package and rear side airbags ($350), stickered for $73,870 including destination fees and the mandatory $2,100 gas-guzzler tax.

There's no denying $70 grand is a lot of green for any car, even one this capable. But there's little doubt that the RS 4's biggest competition, the upcoming BMW M3, will cost about the same and make similar power. It might not be cheap, but it's hard to put a price tag on soul.

$70k is so much money for this car. The M3 will be much more exclusive if it costs this much. I can't wait for a direct comparison.

To be honest I think the M3 is far to common, they seem to be everywhere, I would prefer the M badge to be more exclusive!
