3. If I'm not mistaken, back in 2009 the starting price of E90 M3 was 56k, while the starting price of F80 M3 is 62k or about 10% increase. How come you doubt Audi does the same thing to the second generation of its flagship car that has the same engine of a real exotic car (Huracan)?

BTW, this is another link:

As far as available i8 or R8 in your area, I was referring to the MSRP of cars offered by manufacturer and not what people price them...
Provide all the links you like. Until Audi releases U.S. pricing it's meaningless.

BTW, the R8 V10 is a carryover engine, no difference from 2015 to 2016 at all. This poll/comparison is i8 vs R8 (mkII) not i8 vs most expensive possible configuration of the R8. One more thing, to me when buying a car what I pay for it is what matters, not MSRP.
