Audi colors: drab to draber
#12
I like the color selection, but wish that all 50 shades of grey had been available (as opposed to limited to certain models) when I bought mine. My son recently bought an A3 in Monsoon Grey, which I would have preferred....but, agree to lure in younger folks they may need to add some more crayons to the box

To me some of the brighter "crayons" some may wish for are too much like those of many Japanese and Korean lower-priced brands for my likes. The bright blues in particular scream Hyundai, Kia, HondaCivic and such to me, not to mention the resemblance to some of the garish colors the Dodge Neon used to lure the "younger folks." I think Audi is wise to basically keep a consevrative pallet that screams "Teutonic!"

Agree with your analysis: they need to appeal to their demographics and, keep the Audis looking like Audis....but if they wanted to expand customer base to include the younger affluent crowd, perhaps making available a couple "Audi-loud" crayon colors for the intro A/Q 3 series as standard would do the trick.

correct, several reports* over past few years heralding the end of car ownership, particularly starting with the younger crowd. Heck, today many young kids are not interested in obtaining a driver license whereas we couldn't wait ...
* one of many

The trend I'm seeing is that, for many younger people, what pushes them into car ownership is having kids... and that leads them towards crossovers with big hatchbacks seen as friendly for carrying all the baby gear.

I actually like the boring pallet when it comes to cars. For me, bold colors are nice for changeable things like scarfs, hats, table napkins – you name it. For something that I am keeping around and seeing and being seen in for a while (my house and car for example) I prefer something that looks nice, neutral and not likely to go out of fashion or start annoying me after a few months. Fickle? Yeah, maybe.
