Default The one color I have yet to see

Even on this forum I have not heard anyone mention they have an A6 in Tornado Red. Then thinking about it more I have not even seen one at the dealer or on the road. Love to see a pic...
...if you exist. Anyone else agree.

Default I saw one on Rod East's lot last fall.

Definitely striking -- the extrovert's A6 color.

Default not a good A6 color

I've seen it. It makes the taillights blend in nicely. That's about the only nice thing I can say. That is not a natural color for a car as large and bulbous as the A6.

Default How would this car look with those blacked-out brake lights?

When I look at this picture, I think the only thing that seems weird is how the color of the car really blends into the lights too much, and on other red cars, the lights dont seem to blend in as much as this (Just my opinion). I wonder if a red A6 would look better with those Hella smoke/black lights in the back, or if it would look even worse.
