Default Hmmm....Avus or Daytona - I'm torn....

I can never decide on a color...makes it tougher when you can't see them in person due to rarity of the car...

thoughts?

Default i went with daytona, only because i've wanted that color since i saw my first RS6. but avus...

...is amazing in person. no picture does it justice. ever.

don't think you can go wrong either way. they are probably the 2 most popular colors, maybe in top 3 with PB.

Default Agree. If I didn't have 2 silver cars already, I might lean toward Avus.

The Daytona RS6's just looked so damn good, I knew that my next Audi had to be Daytona.

Default You have to see Daytona in the Sun!

My salesman had the RS4 sales kit from the streets of tomorrow in Atlanta. It has really large paint chips 5x5+. They are the real deal not a duplication of the paint. I was torn between the Sprint, Avus or Daytona. In the sun the Daytona is incredible, larger metal flakes and that made my choice easy. I love Bob's pictures but after looking at his and Darryl Bond's I feel good about my choice. The Daytona seems to show off all the silver trim and rims better.

Default AVUS on the way!

I agree, you can't go wrong with either choice. My S4 is black and I hope the AVUS will be easier to keep clean.

I was deciding between Black, Daytona, and Avus and chose Avus. It's stellar on this car.

Default Daytona...

The avus has some powder blue in it - looks quite blue in the bright sun - personally I prefer pure metal flake silver with no added pigments. Go with Daytona it's a beautiful car.

Default look in my pic poster, that's all I have at the moment.

also, check out the video in the review on Edmunds.com posted here earlier today, they used an Avus silver test car.
