Default Should I change the color on my ordered A4?

Hi guys,
I just ordered an '08 S-Line 2.0T for June 18 Production. Its currently Brilliant Black.

Should I change it? I'm thinking either Light Silver or Phantom Black...

I just don't know. They have their pluses and minuses. Black = more sporty/flashy. Silver = sleeker and easier to care for.


Any other suggestions?

Default delivery date of 2 mo./Silver

I ordered mine on May 9th; dealer had told me at least 2-3 months, door-to-door. The time-frame seems simmilar for all of us.

I got mine in Silver....but only because I like Silver! Go with your gut, don't second guess. You were drawn to the black....enjoy it!

Default generally, i avoid silver on the A4 only cause sooo many ppl get silver

it is very easy to care for though, and certainly a lot easier than black. My last A4 was Dolphin Gray, which while also being somewhat common was still less common than silver, and also extremely easy to care for. Ultimately, you have to go with whichever color you prefer. Even though i'll be washing my car constantly now, I ordered black with the titanium because there is no doubt in my mind that that is the best looking color combo right now on the A4

Default i've found factory orders typically take about 3mos.

my last A4 was a factory order ordered in Feb., delivered in May....I ordered my 08 car a week ago or so, and was told August delivery
