Default Obsessing over color

Obsessing over color!
Before I order (if possible) or have the dealer search the country, I'd really like to see a 'Spint Blue S4' in person. At this time, there appears to be none anywhere close to my local dealer; Cascade Porsche/Audi Cuyahoga Falls, OH.
Up until a few weeks ago I was planning on going with Quartz Gray, even though I felt the color seemed kind of dead compared to that of the other vehicle I had been considering (bmw 135i /Space Gray).
Any suggestions as to where I might "sneak a peek" of one in the 'Akron/Canton/Cleveland' area, without seeming crass ?

Sorry, I ordered the "dead" Quartz gray! LOL I do have a 00 Nogaro blue S4 which IMO is very close if you want to check that out for comparisons.... I am in Concord Ohio(eastside of Cleveland-30 minutes from downtown) and have no problem if you come see the car. Have you checked Fred Baker and Sunnyside? I know Stoddard doesn't have any.... later Ron

Nogaro is NOTHING like Sprint blue. If you like the Nogaro, which I do, and expect sprint to be similar, you MAY be dissapointed. All I can say that, having seen Sprint Blue in person, is that it looks like the pictures . bright medium blue metallic.

That is your opinion.... IMHO they are close.... and yes I have seen 2 of them in person.... identical NO but much closer than you are saying. Just trying to help a local guy out, he can make whatever decision he wants! later Ron

When I was carshopping a few months ago, their online inventory was so sparse that I wondered if they were going out of business (I bought at Baker and had a good delivery experience). What's Cascade's inventory like now?
