Default Advice for new RS7 buyer: Prism Gray??

Hi all, about to bite the bullet and order up the RS7...totally psyched. But, I'm down to the color choice. Yes, of course this is a personal decision, but I've never seen the Prism Grey color, anyone seen it in person? I have a Daytona Grey Q7 Prestige now and love it, wondering if I do another of the same of go Prism.

Appreciate comments from anyone that has seen the Prism in person. Thank you.

Looks like this color was just added this year so aren't many pics but on the configurator, it looks like it will really go well with the full carbon package. Here is a pic of an RS5 with the prism silver as well as an S7...

G6, thank you, nice shot. It's so hard to tell from the website and from the brochure, looks very nice from what I can see. I'm thinking of pairing it with the 21" Titanium wheels, would be sweet I think. Thank you for posting.

Stick with Daytona...it looks great on an RS7 and is more "dynamic" than Prism.

Prism silver was an original 2014 color for RS7, but they removed it because of quality issues. Something like 1 in 3 cars were scraped because of flawed paint. Surprised they brought it back. I originally ordered my car in that color but was delayed indefinitely, so I switched to Daytona.

Same thing happened to me. I switched to Estoril Blue. When 4g LTE, ceramic brakes, and Prism silver are all available for the RS7 I'll trade up.

Very interesting, ended up going Daytona Metallic after the insights, thanks gents! Now it's just the waiting game...my buddy is already harassing me for not going cls55 so need the RS7 quickly to quell the noise...or at least replace it with the harmony of sport exhaust!
