Looks great. Congrats!

I'm in the tank for blue cars, so I love it. And I love the B&O. And congrats on bucking the tyranny of the grey and dark grey and black paint jobs that adorn 90% of the A8s out there. Viva le difference.

Big thumbs up.

I like a car to have color. Why don't more people get the blues, reds, and greens? The cars look good in them.

Probably the porcity of more interesting colors on the standard A8 color pallet has something to do with it, as well as the $3,900 MSRP upcharge for something different from the Audi Exclusive paint offering sheet. Having gone the exclusive paint route on my car, I will say that it really kills me every time the car takes a rock chip on the highway...AARRRRGGGHHH!!!

Nice looking car, congrats. Scuba Blue has been pretty popular with other Audi models so nice to see it make an appearance here. Can't wait to see pics of it from other angles on your D4. The only nit I'd pic is that IMO that color with the car's sport exterior trim needs a more aggressive wheel style than the 10-spoke star design---I think the 4.0T Sport standard 5-spoke Galvano Silver wheels would have fit that bill better, but that's only my opinion, and I'm obviously a bit biased 😉. Anyway, the car really looks great, so enjoy!!!

I agree on the wheel suggestion, great color and different.

thanks derf- have to save something for mods :-)

So much to learn- now to put some miles on this thing!
Sorry for the sideways- dang iPhone...

Nice
 

Nice color and look. Recognize the Scuba well from our Q5! I see you avoided the standard dealer black interior too. Enjoy! :cool:

Like others, I wish Audi would lose the limo color palette. We really don't need 2-4 shades of all the boring colors, at least not without some interesting ones. Copying Merc and BMW into sales irrelevance is not a great move. No problem getting a Model S in a distinctive blue or red, just as one not so random example...
