I'm thinking top spec'ed out will be inching towards $10k.
edit: wow, top spec'ed is $5,539. "relatively" reasonable, I'd say in the Apple world.
but, this isn't a brand new design. I'd consider more of a mid cycle refresh with internal spec bumps. I think the rumor mill is making it seem like a new design. This will replace the 15". Hoping to see the same thing on the 13" soon.

People seem pretty happy about it. To me it seems like a nice upgrade and I think I'll be getting it, instead of using an iMac+my 2019 13 inch macbook pro.
I really like that they improved the cooling by "28%", and the bigger screen size, but I still can't believe that the camera is that bad.
All in all, definitely a step in the right direction.

I’m aware. I get it.They have been calling it the magic keyboard since 2015, that's the point.
it's the same keyboard as the external keyboards (which i'm typing on right now) and these are actually great, better than the 2012-2015 macbook pro keyboards.Magic Keyboard - Wikipedia

I can’t believe we still have to deal with the Touchbar! I don’t want to! Glad the keyboard is back to the scissor mechanism and there is an actual escape key though!
I’ll wait For the 13 inch MacBook Pro to update my current 2013 MacBook

The screen has no higher brightness and same ppi so no update the the screen
Well, it has a sliiightly higher ppi.
Thicker and heavier than the machine it replaces. Excellent!
Wow its here. Dare i say, also much cheaper than i thought.
Apple, now please update the 13" with the new keyboard too.
