if u are looking for exclusivity- (more)

santorin blue is probably the rarest of the three (however they are the three most popular A4 colors). I would wait for the color I want- why should you spend ~25-30k for a car with a color u like but not love. If time is a problem- get one on the lot though. Ultimately, no matter what anyone tells u, color is a personal thing (no laughs, it's true) and only u can decide on the one u want for sure. Good luck

Just remember to vary your speeds on the hwy, and don't use cruise control

As for the colors, which "black" do they have, brilliant or ebony pearl? Personally don't let the fact that lots of people have the same color change your mind about ur choice... Remember, its your car, and should be your color. Personally I love Santorin Blue, and probably would have chose it over Silver, but the S.B. that my dealer had was a FWD-Tip with only convenience pkg and sport pkg.(I wanted a quattro, manual, convenience, sport, xenon, sideguard).

I also saw my first Ebony Pearl a few weeks ago, beautiful color, but it kinda looks "scratchy" because of the pearl.... I like that too. Brillian black, is well, black. And SIlver, well, Silver is by far the most common, but it is also the color that most european companies(including Audi) use on most of their concept cars/press cars.

Hope you find your car!- Anand Dhanda

Go with blue

I got black and while IMHO it looks the sharpest when clean IT'S NEVER CLEAN. I have to wash the sucker 3 times a week and any kind of rain negates the effort completly. Silver well..... why go with the pack?
