Me too. My last car, a '15 S5 Coupe, was Florett Silver. I loved that color! Only went white this time to get the Nougat Brown interior.

I love that photo. It's like a picture of the holy trinity. Nice.

Thanks. The color choice was tough for me, since there are lots of great choices. I prefer the look of the Manhattan Grey when it's clean, but I've found that it's much easier to keep white or silver vehicles looking clean.
What color is yours? Is it Florett Silver by any chance?

Not answering for AudiD, but take my word for it. It is much easier to keep Florett Silver clean than Ibis White. My Florett Silver S5 could go through rainstorms and not look dirty. My Ibis White, on the other hand, shows the dirt. Still better than a color like Manhattan Grey or Black.

LOL. The photo is a bit misleading though, since it makes the MB look larger than the A4, when in fact the A4 is the largest of the three. It was tough getting rid of the MB, but I'm really happy with the A4.

I agree that silver is probably the easiest to keep clean, but I've found white to be pretty easy as well. My son drives my old 2006 330xi in Sparkling Graphite, which is somewhat similar to Manhattan Grey, and it's hell to keep looking clean.

My interior is black, but after seeing photos of the nougat brown on this thread, I'm starting to wish I had given more thought to that option - it looks awesome.

It is. But my next car will probably be an A5 Sportback in Florett Silver with Rock Grey interior. I miss Florett Silver. ;-) It will be in addition to our A4.

Yup. Silver is the easiest to keep clean. Followed by white. Dark colors are hell. Plus swirl marks show easily on dark colors. And yes. I still find the nougat brown lovely and attractive. I thought I might get used to it after a while but no. Still manages to look special. My wife and in laws always praise the brown when they get in (and swear that their next car will have brown interiors).
