Default What made you decide black over another silver. . .

Dark colors are much harder to take care of.

I notice quite a few owners switching from one color on there B5 to a new color on the B6? I am all about blue, but Nogaro is just too bright for me so I went with Santorin on my B5. . and Moro on my B6. . .I couldn't see myself in a car of any other color than blue.

Default Well it's like this.....

I had a white integra GS-r, kinda hard to keep clean (back in 1998) but great when it was.

Then got a black a4 2.8 in 99' and LOVED the black, however, it looked like the hood had a bad case of Dandruff! (mind you I didn't know about stongard, clearbra etc..)

So when it came time to get the 01 s4, I knew Silver looked great and it REALLy just caught my eye. and even though I'm **** about keeping the car clean, ti was a POC considerning that even when dirty, Silver looked CLEAN! with the 04 s4 avant, I KNEW, KNEW that once I saw wes's photos and the fact that I didn't like the avant in Silver as much as I had hoped, that with the damn time I spend on the wheels (which are a PITA to keep clean but again when they are well worth it. I wanted black, I'd do the clear bra and yep, I'm dilligent enough to keep it clean. I can tell you from 15 days of ownership, it was the best decision. I love it and when it's clean(like today) man it's amazing, hell I almost got your color, but it boiled down to personal preference. EVERYONE of my friends gave me **** about DOOd yer gettin a BLACK CAR? didn't you learn your lesson. Hell the girlfriend wanted me to get Dolphin (and it was close, as I really liked it), but for me black is /will be that one color that just completely STANDS out when clean). I liked the Moro (as yours is) a lot, but figured if I really wanted black, just give in.

I'm very happy about my choice.

Default I agree. . Dark Colors like Black or Moro look AWESOME when clean!

Keeping it clean is never a problem if you LOVE your car as I am sure you do!

Default and that was my EXACT rationale in-doing so...

hell if I wanted low maintenance, I should've gotten 5 spoke rims...

as I'm sure you can appreciate, it may take a little longer to clean the rims, but um yeah, it's worth it!
