Daytona looked AWESOME in motion and cutting through traffic. Gave the driver a wave and thumbs up but just got some confused look in return.

The car looks better on the move than just standing still on a lot. Now if they'll only offer it in Nogaro!

Default At first I wasn't sure he even knew he was driving such an amazing car...

When I first got my S4 I was grinning ear to ear for weeks...this guy looked like he was driving a rent a car or something. Maybe just a shy guy...gorgeous car though!

He got off at the next exit, so maybe it was a dealer sales guy or somebody on a test drive??? It looked like it had a paper temp tag in the rear window and no dealer plates.

Either way...it looked REALLY nice on the move. Making it tough for me to resist getting one next year. If they bring nogaro blue back then it's a done deal.

Default Nogaro Blue is only $2500 extra.

As you may already know, you can get any Audi color in any make for an extra $2500.

Default As I understand it is any color "CURENTLY IN PRODUCTION"

I don't believe that Nogaro is still in production but set me straight if I am mistaken.

That would've been me. Sorry for not waving with more energy - the traffic was dense, I was looking for a line, and I had to exit real soon. I got the car as the ultimate "wolf in sheep's clothing" and for most passers-by this holds true - just another Audi... I'm still in shock over how well the car hammers turns with throttle controlled oversteer and all - so far from the old Audi front-heavy feel I'm used to. I'm still confused with the engine position relative to the firewall - this engine could be moved back at least two inches - this would make the car unbeatable - even for the BMW "Borg" at Car and Driver.
