gmund1948 · 06-25-2007, 08:35 PM

OK Audis gone a little too much like Porsche with their pricing

Lets hope BMW uses better Judgement !

I agree.

M3 Piotr · 06-25-2007, 08:40 PM

Wow, insane, and it's a convertible (nothing against them though). That's an M5 or E55 territory price wise.

Shoot, you can get a used E46 M3 and 335i Sedan for that.

ctgazer · 06-25-2007, 08:42 PM

damn man...my pay sure aint rising as fast as car prices....i need to talk to my boss tomorrow

E90Russ · 06-25-2007, 08:44 PM

man that's a lot of money for a car that's fast, but not THAT fast.

I would be getting an M5!

aspiring335 · 06-25-2007, 11:02 PM

The UK reviews I've seen say that the convertible has nothing on the sedan. Much heavier, poorer ride, and, as noted above, seriously overpriced. I actually love convertibles, but to me they only work if you can have a comfortable low-speed ride for cruising around (i.e. refinement is more of a priority than the kind of high-revving drama you get in the RS4, M6 or M3).

Craigito · 06-26-2007, 12:15 AM

Holy testicular tuesday batman! Talk about sticker shock.

NaTuReB0Y · 06-26-2007, 12:19 AM

Exclusive has a price tag............exclusive......exclusive........

my dealer was selling 335i convertible for $76K........

halB · 06-26-2007, 12:20 AM

But it's a V8. When the M3 convertible comes out I expect the price will be in the same range.

The only cheap convertible V8 is a Mustang or a Vette.

s420merc · 06-26-2007, 12:24 AM

I dont know who does pricing at Audi but they are getting crazy.
The A5 is at the same price point as the 335i the only prob is that its down on power to the 335i to get the same power in a Audi u have to move into S5 price range and then you are about 8k above the 335i i dont know how they plan to compete.

Ryan335 · 06-26-2007, 12:26 AM

These cars are going to be seriously exclusive.... we are talking no more than 300. That is why the price is so high....you will be lucky to see one in your lifetime. Also, I anticipate the e93 M3 to be around 75k with options....so its really not that far off. Cars are getting damn expensive these days...

Ryan 330i · 06-26-2007, 01:13 AM

only 300 RS4 cabs are coming to North America in the next 12 months. they can charge whatever they want...

yea true. thats insane for an rs4 vert. i would just get the rs6 if i really wanted an audi, if not, it would be m5.

Yvette · 06-26-2007, 01:43 AM

i would rather get z06 and save some money.

E90ice · 06-26-2007, 02:31 AM

What the hell is Audi thinking?

So expensive, and it doesn't even have a hard top?

karliejai · 06-26-2007, 04:17 AM

with a little options.. its gonna be a 100k car!!! might as well get idk something else?!?!

a burrito · 06-26-2007, 06:16 AM

hahaaaaa..u can get a used range and a used cayman s for that price. audi must be on some good ass drugs lately

Drew Mazurek · 06-26-2007, 06:17 AM

All that for a car that will be replaced in 2 years with a new Cab if you believe the rumours.

mkoesel · 06-26-2007, 07:14 AM

I can't imagine this car performs 30k better than an E93.

jrod1014 · 06-26-2007, 07:53 AM

That's a copious amount of cash. But as many have said here, you're paying for exclusivity as just 300 are going to find themselves stateside. I believe the E93 M3 will see 70s loaded, definitely not 83k base price (albeit, the RS4 apparently comes pre-loaded)...

When all is said and done, I probably wouldn't purchase one. There are just too many cars in that price range to drop on that vehicle...
