Just picked up 2012 A6 - Ibis White...
Long story short, I ordered a 2012 Prestige A4 S-Line in early May, and though it will most likely be here any day, I changed my mind. With a 16 month old, and another little one on the way, the extra room won the day. This is my first Audi (German car, for that matter). I was driving Trailblazer SS before this, and now I have the benefit of that power, with the refined engineering of an Audi (and much less thirsty).
I love this car!
Ibis white, nougat brown interior, 18" sport package
Here are some pics (sorry - not a pro photographer)...

Looks nice, thanks for the pics.
Shame the dealer felt the need to tattoo their logo on the rear. Most dealers seem to have stopped that practice, but there are still a few holdouts.
Question on the wood trim:
For the more natural "close to the wood" finish (as opposed to the thick glossy coating you generally see with car interiors) are there more problems keeping it good as new looking, over time, with hot and cold cycles and humidity changes?
I've only ever had cars with the thick glossy clear-coat, and that has held up well, but I prefer the "closer to the wood" look so was wondering about longevity.

With regard to the wood trim, I'll have to say more to come. I have only had glossy wood finishes on other cars as well. It certainly looks sharp, in my opinion.
