also the whole car isn't about only HP. that's like saying you eat a burger for the quality of the bun. there are many, many features which go into the motoring experience of a particular car; HP is merely one component.
HP is one significant component, and at that price point, 425HP is lacking. A M4 with no other option than leather seats (the cheapest leather seats offered) is a MSRP of over $66,000. Add a few must-have options and you are well over 70k. RS5's story is just as bad.

You should have some significant expectations at that price point when the other guy is doing more for less...
