What boring colors
It's a shame that we get such limited color options for such a visually exciting car. How many shades of silver/grey can we possible need - Silver, Monza silver, Quartz grey, Sahara silver. Then there is Meteor Grey that's not grey at but can't make up it's mind wether it's green or blue (no offence MG owners). DSB that looks black in anything but direct sunlight. Oh yeah Phantom Black is nice but you can't have it on A5. Why??
It would be great to see more colors - why not a nice blue that's in between Aruba and DSB (maybe like BMW Lemans Blue), burnt orange, dark brown metallic, dark cherry? Sorry for venting, still love the car. |

There are around 15 colours available from the standard range without needing to use the Audi Exclusive option. In fact there may be more now as I saw a metalic brown one recently and I dont recall that being in the guide (although they may have done exclusive).

It's the world we live in now - more technie/digital/"virtual"/"indoors" and less organic/analog/"real"/"outdoors" -contrary to our supposed rediscovered love of the outdoors and saving our environment . Drive by any car row and it's acres of silver/grey variants , beige ,white and "blacks" , whether Toyotas or Porsches , reflecting the same colors of the products most consumers find indispensible : their TV,phones and computers.
When I bought my first Porsche 25 years ago, 50% were Guards Red and 80% of Ferraris were Rossa Corsa ( bright red) . Now both those brands sell few red cars -silver/grey even outsells red on new Ferraris . Everywhere I go, people all say how much they love my Sprint Blue S4 - they say it is such a happy color and gives them a good feeling sine it looks like the sky on a beautiful sunny day . What they are really saying is that " tones " such as silver/grey/beige are the car equiv of a cloudy day, I guess, lol. |
