Default Why no blue?

I'm surprised that I haven't seen anybody opt for the Moonlight Blue Metallic color as that strikes me as one of the best non-black colors for this car. I was thisclose to buying a 535i in the equivalent BMW color and it was absolutely striking in person.

Has anybody seen an A7 in this color in person? How did it look? Would this show dirt as badly as a black car?

No, Florida. I didnt go in intending to get the blue. It doesnt look that great on the audi website and i was interested in the oolong grey (which i still have never seen in person). When i went into the dealership there was one there. It was already sold otherwise i would have bought that one. They had one more comming in a couple of months later that had pretty much everything i wanted so i preordered it. I havent regretted the decision at all.

I dont think it is that bad with the dirt. Unfortunately, right after i brought the car home the city began work on my road. So i have basically been living on a dirt road for about 6 weeks while they do everything.

I followed the recommendations of others on this board and had the windows tented (35%). It looks awesome.

I have the blue with velvet biege/ dark carpet - absolutely love it. Looks awsome at night in the reflected light. Dirt is no worse or better than any other bark blue.

I am waiting for a moonlight blue/nougat interior - arrives in 2 weeks. I did the see the color in person (int velvet beige) and I really liked it. I was going to get gray but decided that for a change, I don't want to be one with the road. That said, quartz/nougat looks quite amazing.

I didn't get the velvet beige because I didn't like the look of it.
