Poll about Color

So I'm bored (but getting excited as my car should be built next week) so I thought I would create this poll of what RS3 color was chosen the most often. My initial guess is Daytona Gray but hopefully if we get enough participation, we will get a much better idea. So here goes, WHAT COLOR DID YOU GET / ORDER FOR YOUR RS3?

OK, so at mid-day, the results (to me) are a little surprising.

1st -- Nardo Gray
2nd - Ara Blue
3rd -- Daytona Gray
4th -- Catalunya Red

OK, all y'all (and yes, that IS a correct Southern word) with Black, White and Silver need to vote! :-)

Im not at all surprised with how the poll is trending. If I had to guess without seeing the results, I would had said:

1) Nardo
2) Ara
3) Daytona
4) Mythos
5) Catalunya

Nardo is free plus an RS-only color, so I knew it'd be a runaway victor. For anyone who doesn't like cement or primer, those people almost always like Audi blues. Sepang was the #1 S3 color, so if Nardo hadn't been there Ara would be #1. I think there are more mythos than catalunyas out there right now, based on the pictures being posted, so the poll will likely ultimately reflect that.

In my opinion, Daytona is the best color on the RS3, but I ordered Mythos because I only buy black cars. Love me some Daytona though.

I probably would have gone Panther Black instead of Ara Blue had it been offered as a non-exclusive color here in the US as it is in Canada and elsewhere.

Well we are definitely getting more voters now so thanks everyone. Currently the results are as follows:

1) Ara
2) Nardo
3) Daytona
4) Glacier White
5) Catalunya


You definitely called the Nardo being more popular than I had originally thought but I thought the Daytona would have been in the top 2. However, I didn't realize that the Sepang Blue was the #1 S3 color, and since I don't typically like blue cars, I would definitely have to agree with your statement about Audi blue's being very nice. I had originally picked Daytona but the Huntsville dealership had both the Daytona and Ara sitting there and my wife and I couldn't stop looking at the Ara Blue as it really popped and we obviously changed our color choice. I also agree that there should be a few more blacks so I hope that will be reflected eventually too.

So are you surprised by the Glacier White?

Interesting as I would have ordered the RED w/black optics had it been the red I "thought" I was seeing in the multitude of YouTube videos versus the real "orange tinted red" of the Catalunya.

everything can change when you see the colors lined up next to each other.

from internet photos i would say red then white then nardo.

black optics a must. but need to see the white with optic-alloy trim..

Here is a 2017 White w/o black optics (which I personally think is a must for the white):

+1 I definitely agree about colors changing when you see them lined up next to one another.

Here are all the colors with Alu optics. Got these pics from another post either here or other forum, can't remember. Sorry if a repost.

Thanks, that's an awesome picture and I hadn't seen it before.
