Default New RS5 color....help please.

I've enjoyed this forum since I decided to go with the RS5 instead of the M4. I am currently deployed to Iraq, but plan on putting a deposit on a '15 when on leave this March. Honestly, I am having a horrible time decided on the color and would welcome any suggestions. I'm thinking Ibis white with the black optic package. Or maybe special order an Estorial blue with the black optic options. Sorry for yet another "what color should i buy" thread but seriously need some suggestions. Thanks in advance.

I actually like that combo a lot. But many said it was too flashy. Had it built with black wheels, black optic, and liked it a lot.

Any regrets with red?

Have you seen Suzuka Grey? IMO it is a great alternative to the traditional Ibis White that tends to be on every second A5/S5.

I have a Suzuka Grey RS5 with the blackout pack and love the look.

White, Red, black or silver will have the highest resell value!! I would go for the white over the blue. If I was getting a new RS5 it would be Daytona or nardo grey.

I hesitated between Black, Estoril Blue and Daytona Grey when I was thinking of going for the RS5. Then I saw a Daytona Grey in the flesh with Black optics package, and that was it I was sold. It is a beauty with the rotor wheels 20".

Going on 50, I had eliminated the red too although it is a looker.

Good luck !
