Yup, I have Phantom Black and I wash my car every weekend and I spray a coat of Meguire's Ultimate Quick Wax on it every time. But I'm **** and love taking care of my car. Otherwise, I'd consider white.

White color will show A6 lines beautifully, too many black cars on the road but still A6 in black will still standout. I find scratches & dirt shows more with dark colors, I have Oolong grey still requires maintenance but my next car would be light color. SO my vote goes to white for less maintenance, car lines will show better.

Black is beautiful and looks killer on the A6. However Id go with the white unless you enjoy cleaning your car every other day.
I had a black M6 and it drove me bonkers. I am **** retentive and never felt like the car was truly clean. Swirls.. spider webbing.. light scratches.. etc.. just not worth it.

Nothing like a detailed black car but I'm kind of OCD and every time I "cleaned" my black BMW 540 it lasted only 1 day. And being OCD my detailing took anywhere from 4 to 5 hours and most times I felt I had to spend another few hours getting rid of swirl marks.
Nevertheless when I was at the Audi dealer his most popular colors were black and white. I went there wanting one of the white colors but really liked the Dakota Gray once I saw it person. It has some color to it but not too dark.
In conclusion... Go white unless you want a beautiful car that requires frequent washing and detailing.

I just ordered mine in Havanna Black and what attracted me was 1) you don't see a lot of them on the road and
2) I really like the brn metallic mixed in with the black when the sun hits it.
It really makes the car look unique instead of just black (which I like but have already done before).

Years ago, my father had a 1951 black Mercury with a white top. That was a cool looking car. My S6 is glacier white. It's nice to see how the color differs when parked around other white cars. Also, when I get back home, it's real easy to spot the dead bugs, etc on the car.
