Default new guy, buying RS5, question

new to Audis and am stoked about getting RS5, question is I'm stuck on two colors Sazuka grey or Daytona pearl grey. originally wanted sazuka w black 20 inch stock but had hard time finding, and now have opportunity to get Daytona pearl but with 20 inch Vspoke wheels in dallas


any opinions which is better?


thanks

Yes I am partial to the Daytona Grey Pearl but if you see the Suzuka Grey in person you will see how different and therefore more "exclusive" it is. I believe the Suzuka grey is still an up charge, where the Daytona Grey is not.

I love both colours. My previous car (RS4) was Daytona, and my current car (RS5) is Suzuka.

Both look great - IMO Suzuka is a little more 'exclusive' than Daytona these days though and lighter colours better emphasise the subtle lines of the RS5.

Default Well, I am entirely biased...

… I like the Nardo and Suzuka Grey, but when I saw the Daytona Pearl with The Black Optic Package and Red Stripe wheels… well I went loony.

All the colors look beautiful - the Daytona always looks good - even with dust…. in the picture below, the car is actually filthy, having done over 100 miles in the mountains with dust and gravel.

Congratulations… actually those wheels you have are beautiful. What makes the striking statement is the flash of red. You can replace the wheels or:

1. Red lug covers (as I did on my S5): ColorLugs - Home
2. A red pinstripe along the lower panel
3. If you do consider new wheels, check out the HRE website - they can do any tint you wish - the brushed copper is nothing short of seductive, although my wife is starting to lose her patience

Do an epic road trip to LA - we will show you some great roads and wonderful people.
