Initial shots. Dealer says this is the first one on the island. Took delivery two weeks ago and been having a ball. Need to add some ceramic tint and a roof rack for the outrigger canoe!

Very nice. What color is that?

That's the color I wanted -- almost like a candy apple red. But it wasn't available in the states ... er, I mean, mainland! ;)

Very nice! I would say the color looks like the Hibiscus Red (Hawaii... how apropos) that Audi had some years back!

It's Garnet Red Pearl Effect. Standard Audi palette for A4s in Germany and Q7s here (and the mainland), and probably others. I paid the extra bucks for Audi Exclusive and placed the order. I did voice my displeasure with AoA in their follow-up survey.

Garnet Red (See my second post above) NT

Much nicer than brilliant red , imho.

What made you go with a sedan since you have a canoe?

Nice Color!

Garnet Red does look a bit like Hibiscus Red. My B5 is Hibiscus Red and I'd say it's a shade darker than Garnet.

To provide a larger platform and to easily transport the crew.

I've always thought it stupid they don't offer the same colors everywhere, just like you can't get certain interior fabrics with certain colors. If they'd have offered Garnet Red in our region, I would have absolutely picked it, and I am sure I'm not the only one. Even my wife said she liked that color, and she is normally against me and my lead foot driving anything red.

I'm not pinning the blame solely on Audi, by the way. I am aware that every car manufacturer does this.

Anyway... very nice car in a very nice color.

Before I bought my Audi I looked at a Passat CC. The colors they offer are amazing and most are mettalic with no extra charge.

Very nice, congrats!!

I agree with Jay 4R...very appropriate color being in Hawaii.

Agreed. That red IS the bizness! I would go for that red in an instant as well. But with the current 'colour' offering I am happy with the Phantom Black

My guess is you won't be putting many miles on with long road trips.
(Unless you like passing by the same sugar plantation over and over...).
But then, you do have the road to Hana. :)

I love it! Enjoy your beautiful car in good health. Aloha!

What's the sticker on the rear bumper? Looks like an inspection sticker.

It is an inspection sticker. Normally they are plastered right on the car but I chose to mount mine. It's a little cleaner. Don't ask me why Hawaii doesn't put them on the license plate, I have no clue.
