Default Ordering Tomorrow... What Color???

Ordering my car tomorrow. 3.2 V6, S-Line, Everything except Nav. What color do I get? I'm thinking Dolphin Gray but undecided... Still considering silver or possibly blue. And the hardest part is decideing on the interior. Anyone have any pics of Dolphin Gray/Black?

Default Isn't Dolphin a sold-order color for 2006? If so, it's $750 extra

My suggestion would be Quartz gray which is a B7 exclusive color. It doesn't show as much dirt as the darker Dolphin.

As far as the interior is concerned, there is nothing to ponder. If you get the S-Line, you can only get it in black with aluminum beltline trim.

You must have Nav and Sat Radio! What once were vices are now virtues!

Default I have quartz/ebony and I love it, but...

I love the quartz grey metallic. It has flecks of blue pearl in the paint, which are not noticeable except under a really close examination. But it really makes the car change colors depending on the light. Sometimes it looks silvery, sometimes darker grey, sometimes blue-ish grey. Really cool color. It doesn't show dirt, dust, etc...like a black or dark colored car does.

The ebony interior is great too. It looks darker/lighter depending on the light. Most photos people take with a flash make it look almost like a light grey....but it is pretty dark. Easy to keep clean.

The only thing is that quartz grey is definitely one of the most common colors on 2005.5 B7's...there are a lot of them out there.

Default Tough choice..............

I like both colors I presently have. The Dolphin with Platinum and I feel it is more luxury while the Brilliant Red and Ebony is pure sport. I like both.
I recommend a contrasting interior from exterior. If you are thinking a light color exterior I would vote for ebony while I feel Dolphin looks best with Platium. Just my opinion I'm sure many would not agree.
All the colors offered look GREAT!!!

Default You're lost my friend.

Of the three colors you mention â€" Dolphin Grey without a doubt.

But real men drive black cars.
