Love that color in a complete black optic sports pkg.

As it is, not so much.

Solar, I guess? Whichever specific orange, doesn't really seem to fit that Q5 too well. It's at least unique, I guess. :)

It looks like Solar Orange, a TT color. Not so good on a larger vehicle.

Agreed...now that you say it, I do think I've seen it on the TT. Did the factory do this Q or is that aftermarket paint job?

With Audi Exclusive you can get pretty much any color from the factory. Have to pay more if it's a VAG color not currently in production and even more if it's a non-VAG color, but anything is possible. The listing says "special order color", so I expect they ordered it like that; though trying to sell a custom color could get interesting. ;)

That looks almost like the NYC taxi cab yellow... would make for a very luxurious taxi IMHO.

It's so bright that you can see it popping out from the interior with the doors closed. I've never noticed this before, but clearly it's there!

And how often are you lighting up the rear of your car with a flash in daily use? Its not visible unless you're directly lighting up that area, same as any light color would show through

That is one ugly ride!
