Default Dakar Beige

Just curious if anyone's seen (got pics of) a B8 in Dakar Beige...it's the only color I haven't seen at a dealer or that someone's posted.

Default There's a reason for that...

No offense to anyone by that comment. Heck, my last A4 was that color...

Default Yes, it's way too light for my taste

Then again, I'm partial to black interior. I would have considered red leather if it was an option!

Default Seen it, drove it

Beige on Beige with Silver instead of wood highlights.

Ugly as Rosie O'Donnel.

Does a dis-service to the people who designed the car.

Default My two guess as to why they include a "gold..."

First, maybe to appeal to some of the older clan who are in the Audi fold. (*trying not to step on toes here* Like Lexus sells a ton of gold LS, GS, and ES models. The older ladies love the old world, luxury stuff. (*ducks and takes cover*) Second, maybe just to align their offerings with what the competition has. The 3-series, G35/37, IS250/350, and C-class all offer a gold.

Default I told my dealer you have to be at least 50 to like that color

and with the silver inlays instead of wood, it was all off inside.
