probably yes. as much as the NEW M3 or a bit more.
the current M3 tops out at roughly 65K or so. the next one should be a bit more.
the RS4 will top out at close to 70K. remember, it is positioned above the non CSL M cars.

That sucks.
Its coming out in '08 and will only have 280 hp? The G35 coupe has that now. Who knows what it will have in '08. No offense but I hope you're wrong. And I wish they would release the Nuvolari as is! i know its a concept, but they should still release as is!!

Actually, no
Although there will be somewhat of a resemblance between the Nuvolari and the A5 (which will be on the B8 platform), the A5 will not be the production version of the Nuvolari. If the Nuvolari ever goes into production, it will be called the A7 (either on the C6, C7, D3 or D4 platform). Of course, there will be S and RS versions of both cars. The market and buyer demand for a two door S model and especially a two door RS model from Audi is way, way too high for there not to be an S5, RS 5, S7 and RS 7. The A5 and A7 will both have aluminum bodies, most likely ASF III or ASF IV (third generation or fourth generation of the aluminum space frame).

nope. nuvolari/A7 was canned. audi made it official.
insiders confirm this too. if a mid range lux coupe is made it will be far into the future- maybe with the next gen A6 chassis. the tab has been filled with the RS9 which is confirmed. audi too busy with the Q7, RS9, Q5, and upcoming S models to be developing a mid range coupe at this time. sorry. nuvolari was my wet dream but i'll settle for the RS9, eh?

But there will definitely be an A5 coupe
It will have ASF III (third generation of the aluminum space frame) or ASF IV (fourth generation of the aluminum space frame) and there will definitely be an S5 and RS 5. The demand for a two door RS model from Audi is way too high for there not to be an RS 5. Hopefully, by 2012 (which is when the next (C7) A6 is due out), the ASF III or ASF IV will be feasible for the next A6 despite the A6's high production volumes. By that time, ASF will have been around for 18 years. So it is very likely (but not definite or given) that ASF will be feasible for high volume cars like the A6 and even the A4 (which is even higher volume than the A6).
