great news! welcome to the argus brown club

please post some pics after you get it, especially of the layered walnut over black interior... I almost went with that too but chickened out and went with the terra brown walnut instead.

How well does the Argus Brown do in terms of showing dirt, etc.?

Better than most other colors I've had... put it this way, I haven't had it washed in 2 weeks now, and even after 3 rainy days, it still looks clean from a short distance, except for the wheels which have some brake dust. I'd say it hides being dirty even better than my other daytona gray audi.

+1 on now considering Angus Brown. I have to say that color looks really stunning. It has almost a gunmetal grey or pewter tone to it, not overly brown as it looks on the configurator. Congrats on your beautiful machine!!

Congrats! Beautiful camera angle too.

Curious, what tires did you get on the 21"? Mine came with ContiSportcontact 5P, which I found odd because I didn't even think they came in that size, at least according to tirerack's oem size stock.

Thanks for asking, Larry...they appear to be Goodyear Eagle F1's...which is interesting, because I haven't read of that yet.

Wow! That layered walnut looks amazing. Sorta regretting I wasn't brave enough to stick with it now. Contrasts nicely with the all black interior, and I bet it looks great with the fancy interior lighting these cars have since it doesn't totally "disapperar" at night like how the other trim options do.

Enjoy

Thanks Larry...I am in turn, jealous of the alcantara and nicer seats you got as part of the luxury package.

Turns out you were indeed correct awhile back when you foresaw me choosing the brown vehicle when it came in
