I know if I had 130K laying around I wouldnt be heading to an Audi dealership. Hell I got 60k laying around and I am not heading there.
As I posted before Audi is overpriced across the board (RS4 #1 example). At 70-80k maybe it would interest me as something different and somewhat unique. The preformance numbers dont justify this level in price. Not that 0-60 times are everything, but I've read times anywhere from 4.5-4.9. The M3 will at least do that, and for significantly less cash.

Not that good really. 
If you see the side view itis out of portion the back is longer than the front and the top is bigger than the front.
It looks like 3 car parts put together.
What a mess

The $100,000 USD is still speculation.
No official announcements have been made.
I don't think Audi's intention is to sell this car in mass numbers.

audi has sealed its own fate on this yet again, it cannot just put something new out there in this price range with the competition what it is...the original intent was a car they can sell in volume to compete with the 911, this now is way overpriced and will fail to launch audi since they'll never be around....audi doesnt need a 'halo' car, its no Veyron, it needs to build and market cars that will sell and that would be its advertising...yet another disappointment from the 'other' german car maker :thumbsdown:
