I'm watching for 2015-16 S8s currently. Lots of black ones but Ima wanting a white whale!!!

I'm having the opposite problem, lots of white S5s available right now lol

BlackOptic

Ha ha... That's what I am looking for. 2014-2017 Glacier White, Black interior, S5 with Black Optic w/ rotor wheels (but not Black Optic Plus), with B/U Camera and Sports Diff and carbon inlays... I've seen two new (down south), and one used on the other side of the country.

[Edit: thanks for reminding me of Autotrader... And here I was wasting my time on Audiusa.com.... Seems to be 11 in the country that match my desired specs... Shopping now. :-) ]

Also... I've seen this pop up on some other threads... but I am wondering why so many folks are down on Alcantara? I think I'd prefer the grippy surface, and it looks different than my other vehicles. I don't live south of the 45 parallel, nor in the muggy east... so I don't think heat is an issue. But, there seem to be a lot of cars I am looking at where I'd be paying for an upgraded Nappa interior.

Besides the suede feel, is the Nappa more durable???

I had Alcantara in my '09 A5 Sportline. I loved it. It was grippier in turns and didn't show wear. I've also read from owners who have had their cars for years that the Alcantara holds up really well. There are many threads about this topic. Hear you go...
