not ready to rock the cinnamon interior i'm boring! thanks everyone for the feedback, I am torn. The Whites are definitely more common around town so maybe it's better to be different. The White is nice but the Monsoon Gray is sublime, beautiful! we'll see...

The Q does look nice in both colors, don't know how you chose. I might just have to go with whichever one is available on the lot with the options I want. that's what it may come down to

I rellly like the Monsoon and would have got that if it was available. IMO they look a little darker at night and the metallic shows nicely under the lights. As the other poster said they get a slight blue tint under overcast skies. Personal preference but I like the Monsoon.

I did the Monsoon exterior and the Cinnamon/brushed aluminum interior on my S-Line, Premium, Prestige with the black-out exterior (I sure hope I described that right). Anyway, the color combo knocks me out every morning. You will have one of a kind in your area.
Best of luck.
AND POST PICTURES!

In the US, cinnamon is not offered. It was replaced with Chestnut.

Just took delivery of a Q5 in Monsoon Grey with grey interior. Love it! I couldn't find it anywhere in my area with the options we wanted so had to order and wait 8 weeks for it to arrive. Worth the wait. So far no problems with wearing jeans as some have mentioned, but I look every time.

My last car had a grey interior and I thought the black would be too hot where I live in the summer. You can see it on the Audi website if you use the build your Audi tool.
