Nice pics! If you're in the market for some excellent all-weather mats I highly recommend WeatherTech Floor Liners. They are a little more expensive than the Audi mats, but provide much better coverage and protection. I put a front and rear set in my B8 and I'm very pleased.

I purchased the Audi (OEM) all weather rubber mats for the front and rear from the dealer. We have had a very wet spring and the floor mats fit perfectly and look great. They do not move around and protect the rugs.

That water reflection looks like an impressionist oil painting.

With the carpet protecting the metal work and the mats protecting the carpet and the plastic protecting the mats, what do you use to protect the plastic?

Nice pics!

Nice pics - beautiful car!
I almost bought the same exact car except I thought there was just too much "midnight" in Audi's Deep Sea Blue version of midnight blue and Aruba was way too light. I know this is subjective, but so many REALLY nice blues out there and this is all Audi can offer?

... and next year, at least up in Canada, there won't even be aruba anymore on the A4. I think the US still gets it...

I think there's an industry-wide trend against lighter blue cars (either Aruba-light or more royal blue, e.g. VW's Laser Blue). Everybody seems to be discontinuing them in favour of only a very dark blue (e.g. Audi's deep sea blue). BMW's Montego Blue is the only non-midnight blue left in the entry-level luxury segment, and who knows if it'll be around in 2010...

interesting, those baby blue (don't know the actual color name) Lexus' are very popular around here...mostly see them on the IS and RX
