If the base manuals are over 70k I'm gonna go preowned. $60k is about the most I'll spend on a car.
I think if your performance threshold is judged merely from stoplight to stoplight the RS5 could be considered the equivalent to an M3, but it is way too heavy to be a true trackable street car, if that even matters to most people.
