Default Color regret? (Daytona vs glacier)

Hi all,

My Daytona grey 3.0t will be arriving in a week. Decided to take a spin around the dealer lot this morning (glenmore audi). My jaw dropped when I saw a glacier white s6 and a glacier white q5 side by side.

For those of you who have a Daytona Grey are you happy? Or has glacier white trumped Daytona Grey as one of the best audi colors? I know this is a kinda silly post, but wanted to throw out the question.

Personally, I think Daytona Gray is one of the best colors Audi offers, and I have never had a regret ordering my Q5 in it. If I had to order one right now, I'd opt for Glacier White, it's the best color offered this year. What I find odd is that Audi has some stunning colors in their arsenal, so why is the color selection on the 2013 lineup so dismal? The only reason I can think of is to push people to pay the fee for an Audi Exclusive color.

@urban, that being said, if Daytona grey was a standard color, you would choose it over glacier white?

I've had Daytona Gray on my RS4 for over 6 years now and I still believe it's the best color on an Audi.

If you build a car online on the Audi Germany site you can scroll through them. Just can't see them "on" the virtual car design.

Yes, I'd order it again in a heartbeat. It's a phenomenal color. One of the things I love most about it is that it's lighter in tone on cloudy rainy days, and darker, almost charcoal-like, on sunny days. It also hides dirt, scratches, and blemishes extremely well. Of all the different colored vehicles I've owned, Daytona Gray is my favorite.
