Sweet whip. I'm not too certain as to how the final price will be set by Audi BUT, I would imagine that it wouldn't exceed that of the M3 (aka the Benchmark) by much. Time will tell I suppose.
The 2012 projection seems pretty far out though....as in the E92 will be long in the tooth by then, and a new generation 3-series forthcoming (read: F# chassis).

I'm sure everyone hopes you are correct on this. I would make sense to try to keep the price in line with the M3. BUT, isn't Audi one of the most overpriced cars? If you look at hp per dollar aren't they the most pricey? I know BMW isn't too far behind, and I know BMW 'options' you to death, but Audi just seem to go way over the top price wise.
Really the A4 is the one where everyone says, "WTF?" because they try to get $45k for a 2.0T

...I do think Audi is overpriced.)That said, I imagine there'll be little wiggle room from the MSRP on both the M3 and RS5.

Although it may seem overpriced, the A4 is about the same price as the 328 with comparable options, which seems pretty fair to me.

cars cost much more outside the U.S.A! i would expect the rs5 to have a price of 70-80k
there is too much competition from the m3 and cts-v, just like these cars the rs5 is just an a5 with different bumpers, interior bits, and engine/handling components

Scoping out a current gen S4 on the NJ Turnpike, I came to the conclusion that it's a sweeter looking ride than the E90 M3. In the looks department Audi > BMW......and just about everything else <= it's price range (and some above).
