Daytona Grey or Aviator Blue? Help!
I'm about to order an A6 2.0tdi S-Line for Jan delivery. I have narrowed the colour down to Daytona Grey or Aviator Blue (the interior will be black leather/alcantara sports seats with brushed aluminium trim). Daytona is a special order only available at standard metallic/pearl cost on the S-Line, on the SE it costs a lot more. Why is this - is there something special about it? Help please!

I was told the same by my dealer in Canada about Daytona Grey, it is unique to S line, I ended up ordering Oolong Grey it is rich color changes to black in dark and bronze on sun light.
But Daytona grey is very nice color, BMW does the same I'm sure other vendors they reserve certain colors to specific trims (M Sport for BMW) to make it unique kind of, but I liked Oolong Grey and went with that, bit darker than Daytona, and not too many around with this color.

That is a tough decision, but I would opt for the Aviator Blue (with a nougat brown interior, but black is nice too). It's a very distinctive darker blue color.

Yes I would have taken the Daytona. Have you seen it outdoors in real life? It is an awesome color. I went for the air suspension instead and I'm now trying to convince myself the aviator blue is just as nice (and it is, almost...)

In the USA there are no S-line color options so it is $2500 premium. But most other colors (pearl, metallic) are $500 so net difference is $2,000 MSRP.
