Took Delivery of my Manhattan Grey/Brown A4 Today
Today I picked up my 2017 Quattro A4 Premium Plus. I absolutely love the car so far! It rides smooth and has plenty of pick up for passing people at any speed. I am in love with the color combination, Manhattan Grey/ Brown Interior/ grey inlays. The sport seats alone make the sport package well worth the price.
I had the car shipped up from Florida (which was a nightmare). In short, 3 trucks broke down while towing my car and 3 others to the dealership. They left the trailer on the side of the highway while going to get a new cab and the police impounded the trailer thinking the cars were stolen.. Turned a 12 hour delivery into an 8 day delivery.
Once the car came in it had to stay at the dealership for about 3 days before I had time to pick it up. My salesman told me he had 5 or 6 calls of people trying to buy my car after they saw it in the inventory. Glad everything worked out in the end, I am a very happy and proud member of the Audi crew!

Fantastic Combo. I was trying hard for the Manhattan Grey, I just couldn't find it in local or even moderately far inventory. And I really liked the brown interior when I saw it; never even saw this specific combo anyplace.
As I was in fairly urgent need of a car, I didn't have the time to wait, and I would have expected the kind of experience you went through to get it shipped (thats usually my kind of luck).
I would really like to understand what kind of algorithm Audi and/or the dealers use to decide the color combos out of production. I can't see how Manhattan would be so under-represented. I am seeing a fair amount of Gotland Green sitting idle in local inventory. I can see that this is somewhat of a niche and love/hate kind of color. But you see numerous cars on the road in this general glass of dark grey. So I can't figure it.

Great car! I just bought a Manhattan Gray 2017 A4 last week. I think the color is great. I bought the Premium model with 18" wheels, Convenience Package and MMI. I think the standard seats are comfortable, but the sports seats are better.

Manhattan grey here also but with the light grey interior. Spent last weekend claying, polishing and waxing the nicest paint I've seen on any car :-)
It's our first Audi so I am still finding little things that make me grin.
Enjoy The ride!
