No, I have a picture folder of almost every color.

That picture may have come out of the A6 photo thread.

Damn, you do seem to do a thorough research of a car before buying! You've got all the fancy pictures of A6. When are you planning to buy?

It is a really great color, very dignified and regal. I ordered one but ended up changing to aviator. The problem I had was that in certain lights it turns brown, which I don't fancy very much. Make sure you see it live before ordering one.

I am with you. Is Dakota Grey a standard color in Europe? In the US we only get Quartz & Oolong Gray

Yes, the Dakota is one of the standard euro colors. The Daytona is the best Audi grey in my opinion, but that costs a lot extra.

That is not correct: Dakota Grey is a standar U.S. color - check the Audi site and you will see it. We test drove a Dakota Grey with Nougat Brown interior and we fell in love with the combination. Now we have to push ourselves to order the car.

Well, the short answer to when I place an order is when the financials are in place.

I was looking at the Lexus IS-F's until I matched it up with the A6. The Lexus is an amazing car but the Audi's mechanical and technical features make it more practical since I live in deer country and the snow belt.

When I do order, it's going to be similar to what you (dcmetro) ordered without the cold weather package. I would rather have the three spoke steering that comes with the sport package.

bobrillka - there's a couple people with the Dakota Gray in the picture thread - BugeyeRX (post 27)and PRI(post 148)
