Default 2009 Audi A4 Available online to Configure

So AudiUSA has updated their website to allow you to configure the new 2009 A4.

Audi Configurator

To my dismay a fully tarted up A4 2.0T, with the S-Line, Nav, Drive Select, etc. hits close to the $50K mark, not even including the Dynamic Cruise control.

New pricing is probably partially due to the weak dollar etc.. but still! $50K for 211HP and i know it has good torque at 258.. but still!

Don't tell me $500 chip for 50-60 hp blah blah. I mean.. wow. Is this what the new car market is coming to?

Infiniti is putting the 330HP engine into the G sedan, making it the G37. Seems like a mighty nice option now. Even the new CTS with GM incentives looks good.

Thoughts??

I like where Audi is taking its compact sports sedan line-up to but wow $50k?
I would rather go out and get myself a lightly used RS4 with that money.

I dont' think the 328i hits $50K, it's about $5K less, similarly equipped. ~10% difference...

But agreed, BMW is more engaging to drive, and you can get a manual.

I was thinking 335i, even though the S4 competes with the 335i... but that just further reinforces that the 3 series has a better bang for the buck than the a4.
