I ordered the Dakota grey after travelling to a bunch of dealers so I could see all the available colors (at least the ones I was interested in - I hate black and white because they are always dirty). I do wonder why they call it grey; it definitely would be more appropriate to call it Dakota brown or Dakota taupe, because (at least in the sun) it is clearly a brown color.

I'll be meeting it in Ingolstadt in 2 weeks! Can't wait!

The color is great. In the shade it looks gray and in the sun it looks like pewter, similar to the helmets of the Tampa Bay Bucs.

I have never had anyone compliment a vehicale color of mine like they have this color.

I get many compliments with this Dakota Grey colour since it looks unique from other car colours out there (for now). Although, I notice more females like this grey/taupe colour than my male friends/colleagues. But everyone seems to compliment the unique LED headlights. Hopefully, no one copies Audi like they did with the LED running lights.

Here is mine from delivery day. This color definitely changes, but that makes it unique.

Yes, the chicks dig it, which is not the worst thing that could happen.

This image ia a good representation of the color at its brightest (most direct sunlight). What is great about the color is the degree to which it changes with different levels of light. I had to actually visit a dealer to see this color live before I really liked it. None of the images that i found on the web were that attractive, as most of the time the pictured looked either gold or a drab grayish taupe.
