Yes, it will! Don't understand why Audi doesn't offer at least one option even lighter than the gray. I would love the Tango Red with a Velvet Beige interior similar to my A8L but may just have to "settle" for the Magma in a Glacier White. Yes, I know the seats are ventlated, etc. but, having driven convertibles going back to the 60's, they all get hot interiors in anything over 85 degrees. Especially wearing shorts! Ouch!

Placed the order today for:
S5 Cabrio
Daytona Grey Exterior
Magma Red Interior
Carbon Atlas Trim
Prestige Package
S Sport Package
Driver Assistance Package
Dynamic Steering
19" Rims
Was able to get the 6% Audi Car Club discount.
Was most unsure about the red interior but it looked sharp in cars on the lot so went for it. Now the wait begins...

I'm definitely sold on the magma red interior, just need to decide on the exterior color...may stay with Glacier or go out of my comfort zone and chose Navarra...I'm not scared of that color combo.

Navarra/Red seems like an awesome combo - I would go Navarra, but my other car is blue. I want a color that would emphasize the lines of the car... and I feel like exterior red, white and black reduces the emphasis or the prominence of the lines. Gray, Blue and Green on the other hand enhances the appeal of the lines. I am going Daytona Gray/Magma Red.

in my opinion, white does a very good job emphasizing the new lines, especially the upper crease on the side of the car that flows into the hood/fender. They are much more aggressive and definitely stand out.
I've had multiple people comment about the more prominent lines of my new S5 vs. my old B8.5 A5 (both were Ibis white). It's pretty striking actually.
If money/time was no object and I could get an exclusive color, it would probably be one of the light(er) blues (kingfisher, sepang, nagoro, etc)

Maybe I'm biased against white because I am tired of white too. The other factor to me is that the silver side mirrors are somewhat subdued by white or silver colors. I like the contrast. Same with the red exterior and the red calipers... it subdue the calipers. Obviously this is a very subjective topic.
