If that is indeed the price, they shouldn't have bothered. My guess is that someone took the price in Euros and converted to dollars. Manufacturers never sell cars in North America at "European pricing".

I think the RS7 will likely price out to start in the upper $110's and will near $130's with "typical" options. That said, the M5 and M6 need AWD for this power level. As an M3 owner, and frequenter on the M5/M6 forums, I can tell you that these cars are in serious need of extra traction for this level of power. The electronics are cutting in ALL the time. A Panamera is defintely a superior car in terms of its overall execution and dynamics, but the comparably priced model is in nowhere near the same power class.
