Re: Jaspis Green??

I was told by my dealer that it wasn't a popular color choice and probably would not be offered past this next year. Their theory? It's not a masculine color, and most of the Audi customers seem to be men. I almost ordered one in that same color but ended up getting a better deal on a cashmere grey which had been ordered for someone else. (I guess I am a guy who has a touch of the feminine side.)
Enjoy your car-it's a neat color.

Re: Jaspis Green??

I was very interested in this color back about 2 months ago when I was ordering a car. But I had never actually seen Jaspis Green, and the salesman had only seen one or two. Further the dealership had none on order that I could eventually see. I posted the problem in this forum and about 75% didn't favor the color. So I ordered a 'safe' silver. I'de still like to see one, but when you are spending this much money, I tend to play it safe.

Re: Jaspis Green!!

The fact that you aren't seeing them around is going to make it even more enjoyable.

I have a Jaspis Green 2.7t. I love it. However, the color has been dropped for 2001 models.

Have you ever seen one in person?

It's a very special color (as they say in the world of the PC) which will not appeal to everyone.

A local dealer once had a Jaspis w/ green leather A6 on the lot! Said they got it as a "reward" for meeting some quota. Sounds more like the booby prize of all time!

BMW has a purple that also fits into this "ya gotta love it" category called aubergine. I have also had the misfortune to see an aubergine 528 with aubergine leather!

Re: Jaspis Green??

Yes, I've also heard that the Jaspis Green was considered a more feminine color. I myself have never seen one. Nor have I seen one in Tornado Red. I did see a picture of one though, I think in the lastest C&D. I don't particularly like the red, because it distracts from the taillight styling.
