Final comment about color poll: First I want to thank everyone who participated. Second what did we learn? Well we had 3 more votes cast with Ara +2, and +1 for Catalunya which gives us a current result of:

Well with 56 votes entered, the new leader (by 1 vote):

1) Ara Blue -- 16
2) Nardo Gray -- 15
3) Daytona Gray -- 9
4) Glacier White -- 6
5) Catalunya Red -- 5

So, on "average", Audi got their "standard" profit / cost for each RS3 sold since Nardo was free and Ara Blue was $500 over the other colors (yes, I dropped the exclusive for ease of averaging in my head).

And, for those who belong to this forum and who voted, Black and Silver remain the most unique. I would love to know if this is truly representative but I doubt Audi will provide that information any time soon but if anyone ever sees it please let us know. I had fun with this, I hope y'all did too.

Ok so I thought I would resurrect this thread just once more so all of the new RS3 owners could chime in on their choice by voting since it was almost a year ago since anything was posted.

I suspect that Nardo is much further ahead of Ara Blue now and more black and silver.

Ara Blue is such a girly color! LOL. It's truly a beautiful color but oddly, my son drives a Kia Optima that is in a shade of blue a bit too damn close to the Ara Blue. So I chose the stealthier Nardo color. Then I saw a Honda Civic in almost the same color. Almost cried. My wife has a brand new Galaxy Blue color on her Q7. Not seen another single car anywhere in that color. We love it and it definitely stands out. Sort of a greenish blue with lots of metal flake. You car is sweet russbert.

Thanks Steve. I don't usually like blue cars but Audi definitely has some very nice ones and my wife and I decided on this one after we saw it in person.

No I hadn't so thanks for sharing this information as it's greatly appreciated.

To be very honest and not to upset those that bought this colour. My take on Nardo Gray is it is a boring colour. I live in Vancouver B.C. and in the winter time I just need to look at the sky and it is gray. That is one reason I choose Ara Blue for my S3. My favourite though of all Audi colours is Sepang Blue. Colour of cars are a very personal choice, so please do not be offended on my take on Nardo, as I am sure that some will think Ara is a bit bright for their taste and prefer a more subdued colour like gray, silver etc. If I had to choose a gray as the only option for a colour, then it would be Daytona.

Nardo grey is either pretty or ugly. I haven't found anyone that thinks it is just "OK".
I haven't picked that color. It was either that or wait for six month to my "special" car to arrive. I wasn't sure about the color. Preferred the blue but not disappointed at all!!

I went with an exclusive color. Being a Porsche guy.
