now i can't wait for '99 to show up. from a distance at sunset, it looks like a Brilliant Black car with a lot of dust on it, but up close... i was speechless. only 4 or 5 more weeks to go!<p>hmmm, i wonder how those BBS 2-piece in Anthracite would look...

Very impressive color.<br>

Went to the Sydney Auto show since I happen to be in Australia. They had a '99 Volcano black A4 (Euro verstion), and a beautiful S8! Got tons of pictures of the S8, as well as the A4 rally car. Will post when I get the chance.<p>-joe

Sounds awesome, nothing like a black car when its clean. One sugjestion though, yesterday I saw a black 2.8 quattro at the market. It was about .5 to 1in lower than the sport package, but with Mae rims (which i had only seen on Merc.) I can't articulate just how awesome the car looked. I think they were 18in.<br>
