Default Daytona Grey or Mugello Blue?

I have not seen either color in person but I've found a couple of RS4s in these colors? Could someone post a better picture than I can get off the Audi website.

Thank you?

Tom

Default Wow. They're both beautiful - good luck choosing!

Don't get me wrong, I like my Daytona Gray, but I've owned a new gray car before and back then I told myself that it's not really a "color". White, black, gray, silver - they're not "colors"!

From my perspetive having already owned a Daytona Gray, I'd go with Blue. I love Blue. It's a real color! I originally ordered Sprint Blue but chickened out. Blue is real pretty and drop-dead gorgeous. Goos luck!

My personal favorites are the Ibis and Avus... But Mugello is very unique (in a good way)

Default Neither

Spend $2,500 or $2,600 more and special order northern blue (which is, IMO the best exterior color-or one of the best exterior colors-that Audi offers).

Northern blue is light enough that it is sporty, aggressive and easy to clean (according to our very own Phil G., who special ordered northern blue on the 2004 B6 S4 he used to own and the 2008 B7 S4 he will own soon).

At the same time, northern blue is dark enough that it looks elegant, classy and luxurious.

If you are unwilling or cannot afford to spend another $2,500 or $2,600 to special order an exterior color that is normally unavailable on your RS 4, Mugello blue all the way.

There are way too many RS 4s on the road that are either phantom black, brilliant black, Avus silver and Daytona grey.

Default Yeah cuz you see RS4s on the road every day..

I agree though to an extent, when i do see them, they are invariably daytona gray, not even black or avus. i've seen only one avus in person, a few blacks, twice as many grays and 2 mugellos. i saw one papaya and one yellow.

i am in greenwich though, so i expect it. still i only see maybe 1.2 RS4 per month on average.

Default Daytona is popular for a reason, because it's a great color!

Default The first RS 4 I saw in person was Mugello.

It looked nice.
