Default Daytona Grey S line

I finally got to unwrap my new Q5 this morning. It arrived at the dealership last night right before closing time. Here are some photos of it, and of the R8 GT and R8 Spyder the dealership has in the showroom. The Q5 is Daytona Grey with the S line Package, Prestige Package, Luxury Package, and Audi Drive Select Package. It goes through service today, then detail, then clear bra, and should be ready for delivery to me by Tuesday.

I really like that daytona grey color.

But the R8 GT would have occupied all of my attention. Wow, that's a really nice supercar just sitting there begging me to drive it.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I'm very much looking forward to picking it up Tuesday or Wednesday this week. Daytona grey has exceeded my expectations in every way, and I'm thrilled I made the last minute color change from Monsoon Grey to it. Pictures simply don't do it justice.

Otto Man, if we start a Daytona Grey Q5 club, it will be a small club. I'm only the second Daytona Grey Q5 to come through my dealership this year, and they have no more ordered. It doesn't seem to be a popular Q5 color. We have more Monsoon Grey ones than you can shake a stick at around here. What's it like in your area?

Both R8s are really cool. The GT is $220k, and the Spyder is $175k. The GT is cool, but the R8 Spyder would be the one I'd opt for, even if it's not the choice many on here would make. Here's a better picture of the GT.

Where we live is a nice, affluent area of Maryland but Audi's are not the car of choice. I have the only Q5 around.
BUT, for some reason you can't swing a dead cat around here without hitting a BMW.
