that looks great! instantly moved that to the top my list for color choice... just need to sell to wifey why we'd be paying a $1k premium for a type of white when carrara white is free. wish me luck

Would you park it next to your A7 and take a picture of the two together? I wold love to see the difference between the Tofano and Glacier.

I can get a photo of the 2 next to each other when possible. My wife and I are usually not in the same place until after dark. Might be this weekend.

Sorry the best I could do it was getting dark and not in the Sun. After seeing them side by side I believe it appears the Glacier is whiter. I will have to view them in the sun this weekend.

At least from those photos, it almost seems like tofana is a warmer white while glacier is a cooler white.

Our SQ5 is glacier and when under the shade or near sunset, it starts to look greyish-bluish and can almost be mistaken for audi's suzuka grey color found in some RS cars. Glacier's character comes out when there's less ambient light around, but under normal daylight glacier looks like any other white. By contrast, it seems that Tofana's character pops more under direct sunlight as the added sparkly stuff in the paint (Crystal effect?) really gives it some bling

Both beautiful cars. Tofana really suits the new Q7 well. Great choice!

Hello fellow Twin Citian. Thank you for posting the pictures. I've been interested in how closely the Tofana White crystal effect resembles the Pearl White I had on an A6 long ago. The name suggests an icier look, rather than a custardy look for the Pearl White, especially when the sun was not directly overhead. Any comments on the crystal effect? Thanks.
