Mythos black doesn't come up under a Pearl option, it's just metallic. So I reckon you're pretty much lucky getting the last of the pearl effect black. When I asked my dealer they said there is hardly any noticeable difference. But the pearl effect does give it a touch of class. For that reason I ended up going for LAVA grey (pearl effect) on my Q5. Won't get mine till Sept 2014
Mind you, the 2015 range gives you free tyre pressure monitoring and double glazed windows inclusive as standard.

I take it that this is Monsoon Grey ? Lovely colour.. I've also noticed the the front headlight cluster on the US models has a orange corner section which is for the side indicators. We don't have that in the UK , I am guessing that it must be US law to have them highlighted as orange?

Monsoon's a much lighter grey, nowhere near as nice IMO.The orange is for the front reflector, which I guess you guys must not need there.
We need amber reflectors at the front and red at the rear for passive indication when the vehicle is off (approaching vehicle will see the reflectors). We don't have anything like the reuse of parking lights as an indicator while the vehicle is off, so that may be the difference.

No sir, that's Daytona right there. Monsoon's a much lighter grey, nowhere near as nice IMO.
