Default Reservation holders: What color are you favoring?

I'm trying to break out of my cycle and need some encouragement. I'd especially appreciate comments on Antigua, Catalunya, Manhattan, and Siam. What color are you favoring for your e-tron? Only ten items per poll, so I've combined Brilliant and Mythos Black (had to fit in First Edition Daytona Gray). US spec colors.

Manhattan is a nice color gray. Saw it on a Q5. Really hoping for Daytona availability before locking, though.

Hard to find good pictures of Manhattan. Changes so much depending on the lighting. I read somewhere that the contrasting arch and sill trim (not available in the US) is Manhattan Gray. That makes sense based on some of the videos I've seen.

I'm set on the Okapi leather for a change of pace (and the black headliner). Manhattan would be great with that. Thanks for commenting.

If I had to pick today, I'd got with Manhattan. A nice dark gray, with some color undertones (not exactly sure yet how much blue/green/etc). Checked out Typhoon, and while nice, it doesn't seem to have the same pop as Daytona.

If I wasn't getting the Edition One and Daytona Gray wasn't available, second choice is Galaxy Blue. For what it's worth, I have black on my current A8L and it looks fantastic.

My dealer ping’d me last week, and asked if I would be interested in a Year One (that someone else was dropping out of). At the time, I had just purchased my RS5, and cancelled my e-tron reservation, so I passed.

Just sayin’ because if you want Daytona, there might be some earlier reservations that cancel and you can get one.

I’d love to see a Typhoon and a Daytona side by side.

I spoke to the regional sales director at the December Livermore reveal. He said the Galaxy Blue was the number 1 choice at the time. Interesting, as are the poll results thus far.

The photos I see in this link look more blue than gray.

Maybe you are right, I thought that this one was the Manhattan Gray, but here is two links for the colour:

I ordered my e-tron in Manhattan Gray, as I thought that my first link was the gray, maybe I should have ordered in blue ...., no I will stick to the gray
