Default colour trauma... black vs Quartz gray vs avus silver

Welll initially I wanted to get a Quartz gray badly...but when I saw it the other day I am not really satisfied.... I thought it would be something like Platinum graphite of G37 but its not...

So now I have one more variable to solve ..COLOR !!!!


What do you guys think will be more sporty and stylish ? I know its personal pref but just what went through your minds when you selected what yous selected

Save me form this colour traumaa

Bias of course but Avus hands down. Quartz is a beautiful classy color but not my preference on the 5's. Black is great but ive had it and im **** and it caused too much stress and wasnt even my daily. Avus is unique, rare, and has many variations dependant on lighting. Wasnt looking for it but glad I found it. Many pics in sig but I think you have already checked them. Perfect for sport, class, and always looks glossy and clean. My only other pref would be daytona but its hard to come by on the preowned market.

Definitely Avus. Quartz doesn't seem to work with A5's lines for some reason and black is just too 'meh'.

You wont be disapointed and im sure the other avus/monza owners will agree. Pics dont do it justice.

Since I don't where you are from, are you even sure the car you want is available in those colors?

I have Monza Silver and I love it, however that color (or Avus) isn't available for an S5 here in Canada.

i went with the Phantom Black and love it - i think it looks great and although lots of people have black i still get comments on the car all the time about how great it looks. also - I think Black is kind of timeless - it doesn't get "dated" the way some colors do - remember the Ranch Brown of the 70's? its your car though - get what makes you happy.
