Edmunds posted today pricing for the 2010 A5 2.0T Quattro. Apparently, they aren't done adding all the info for the 2010 A5 yet, as I can't find pricing for the 3.2L model.

Yes the 2010 2.0 is $4,372 lower than a 3.2 2009. I don't know if the 2010 3.2's are going up, which could narrow that margin. But even so, I think most of the 2.0's will be optioned to well over a $40K price tag. This is still a stiff enough entry fee to limit the number of potential buyers, so they might not be so common. Add to that many people in the US with the budget to buy a high-$30's to mid-$40's car may be turned off by a 4 cylinder, something that may actually wind up making the 2.0 models rare-ish. In Europe mfrs. like Mercedes have long offered models with a wide range of engines, so over there they accept a 4-cyilinder in almost anything. Probably due to the cost of getting an engine certified to meet our emissions standards many companies have been offering a limited range of power plants in this country. After the shock wears off, it may not be bad for Audi. If you check re-sale, 6-cylinder Mercedes are still worth more than 4's and 8's worth more than 6's. I am hopeful this new offering will not destroy Audi and its following.

Sticker on my Prestige S-line 2.0 was over $49K. I wouldn't worry too much about this car flooding the market. It's still a low production vehicle, and Audi isn't ramping up production from what I hear. Economy is still bad and their sales aren't enough to justify increased production.

The lease rate still sucks big time compared to an A4. You are looking at $600-700 monthly payment easy with 0 down. It's still a lot of money for most people.

But Mercedes, BMW, Audi have a different image in Europe they aren't considered as prestige there, as they are in the states. It's the reason Mercedes doesn't offer the 4 cylinder variants of it's car in the states, hell you can get a 4 cylinder c class with cloth interior in Europe.
