Guys,
Does anyone have an S5 with the ice silver exterior? Any thoughts/comments on this color?

Does an A5 Ice Silver metallic count?

At over a year of ownership I still appreciate the 'purity' of the Ice Silver color. Of course darker colors, which I've had, take a high sheen better, but then the Ice Silver looks good even when dusty ("lazy man's coor?" - nah, I'm as **** with this one as any). Some Zaino enhancer atop a fresh coat of wax is jewel like.

I think silver is perfect for Audi's, Porsche's, and M-B (BMW demands Midnight Blue). imho of course.

I agree with previous poster. I think it is one of the best colors on German cars. I picked brilliant red because I already have two silver German cars and one Japanese.

I'm driving a loaner A4 that's Ice Silver, and I don't like it. A little to forgettable for me--too pallid. I'm going to purchase a 2013 S5 in the next few months, and that color would be at the bottom of my list. Just my humble opinion though.

I am with Huey. I have had this color in the past. Great in person...jewel like as mentioned.

looks great. Shows off the lines and provides contrast with darker portions of car (grill, rear valance, moon roof, tint.

I do agree it shows the lines off nicely. My first Corvette was a 2005, Machine Silver. Not a favorite color, but it showed the lines of the C6 very nicely.

IMO, Ice Silver isn't a bad looking color, but it is bland. I may be biased, but I think the one of the offered shades of gray offers the same advantage of relatively low maintenance while having more depth. However, it will be your car and comes down solely to personal preference.

+1 Had the option of Ice silver on this car but couldn't get myself to like it enough. It's nice, just not my cup of tea.

I'm a big fan of silver & grey shades. But I also like depth in color, so a light shade like Ice Silver wasn't the way I wanted to go. I found Quartz Grey to have more depth and greater reflective qualities, while still having the ability to "hide" dirt very well.
