Some prices from Norway:

A6 2.8Q (base) $ 87000,-
A6 2.8Q (US equipped) $ 100000,-
A8 4.2Q (base) $ 189000,-

In 1990, a 100Q was up at $ 72000,- as base and $ 85000,- with US
equipment, and a 100 1.8 (cheap and slow) was up at $48000..

And just for fun - a Toyota Corolla 1.3 with NO extra equipment have a
price of $ 25000....
