How do they expect the 4.2FSI to compete with the F8x M3's turbo engine that will be introduced in 2013 for 2014... Sure it will probably sound a lot better and rev a few hundred rpm higher but performance wise i doubt it will compete.

I was thinking of the B5 S4 vs E36 M3 and B6/7 S4 vs E46 M3. To me, it seemed to change when B7 RS4 competed with E9x M3. This is all USA specific.

If they think there's a market for "70K A5," then just bring the damn RS4 Avant here already!

At least BMW brings all M cars except the M5 wagon to the U.S.

That isn't terrible I thought it was in the 90's to 100's. Hmmmm maybe I will pick on up in a few years once some rich Dueche is bored with it.
