Default Misano Red or Glacier White?

Please help me try to chose between these two colors.

I currently have a Brilliant Red S4 and I LOVE that color.

Misano Red is close to Brilliant but not exactly...I believe there is a bit of orange when in direct sunlight.

I do really like white cars and the Glacier has a nice depth to it.

On the fence but leaning Misano right now. Help!

I too like both choices but I would go with the red.

Default Misano Red

I saw Misano Red on an S5 at my local Audi dealer in Des Moines. It was simply amazing.
I have always loved Brilliant Red but the pearl in the Misano Red just takes it up another notch in a good way.

My only concern would be any touchup work (rock chips, etc) would have to be professionally done. The pearl would be tricky to duplicate.
Not sure but Glacier may have the same issue with touchups as well.

I'd go red 100% of the time over white. White is for rental cars (ducks head and runs for cover) :-)

I like the red but that is still the most ticketed color. It is hard not to speed in the S6.

I'm not sure that's actually true.

Anyway, I ordered Misano Red.

Edit: I was right.

Thanks guys....I think I just have to switch to Misano. I've had several red cars over the past 16 years...I think I need to stick with it. My car is still listed as "factory order bank" so I can still change it. My wife might not be happy...she loves white...but I'm switching it to Misano.

I know lots of law enforcement officers and they categorically state that it's a myth that the color attracts tickets...they say it's pure BS. Speed is what attracts the ticket book.

Good choice. I love white cars and have owned several, but I feel that the S6 is such an understated car that it's best in a bright color like sepang blue or misano red.
