There's another important issue at play here: What is the cost of an M2 versus a TT RS?

If a stripped M2 is $52k, we can anticipate a stripped TT RS to run somewhere between $65-70k.

As cool as the TT RS might be, I'm not plunking down RS level dough for a car.

And then there's the scarcity of the RS as well. It may be harder to find than an M2 by a significant factor.

I got lucky, and it took me less than a day to find an M2 at MSRP. I doubt that will happen with the RS. . . ever.

Never thought I'd say this, but the M2 might be a bargain, especially if it holds its value anywhere close to how the 1M held its value.
