<center><img src="http://i20.ebayimg.com/01/i/04/1d/65/c0_3.JPG"></center><p>This color looks increadible! Factory paint or repainted (I did notice that the S4 emblem on the trunk in misplaced; maybe a repaired salvage title)? It is also a 1998 production year model, if this was an OEM color option then... WHY WOULD THEY DISCONTINUE IT?!? Regardless, I think it looks great.<ul><li><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=4551306512">Ebay.u k.co ("Metallic Grey" Audi S4)</a></li></ul>

Almost looks Achet grey, but much shinnier.

Yes had many other options, so did the US, but the dealers hid that fact

Default Yes. That color is Agate Grey Metallic

There were other colors that were never offered in the USA including Volcano Black Pearl Effect, Laurel Green Metallic, Melange Metallic, Samba Bronw Pearl Effect, etc.

I really wish the carbon fiber trim and Recaro seats were brought over to the USA as well. Oh well...

I have seen the only one in the country, which is the Avant. It's so freaking hot.

I love the Grey. Looks like the proper spot for the Euro badge to me

Default Badge placement is correct for the model year (1998); didn't move it until '99.5 (Euro)

Since we only saw MY 2000s, it's always been in the same location on the rear deck lid, adjacent to the plate.

Yeah, my friend has a 1998 in that color. Euro also had this terrible green color as well.
