    Re: Advice needed. What color for my new S5 ?

    grey is stunning...very nice.

    I love red too. I've never liked red on anything not from Italy (hate the red B8 S4 they keep showing), but the red S5 looks good. I think it's because that's the color of the demo car Audi Canada was circulating last year. I had a rip in it and fell in love.

    A guy in my neighbourhood has a white one, which looks good parked, but when he's driving it, I think it looks a little pimpy/f@ggy. Hope he's not an AZ member!

    Re: Advice needed. What color for my new S5 ?

    It really depends on what you are trying to do? is this an around town car? a car to pimp out? pick up chicks, dudes?

    Personally i am not the flashy type, and i therefore don't like red or blue, although they do turn heads. I went with White (which apparently makes me pimpy/f@ggy haha) but i saw a blk one and a gray one driving the other day and they looked really good.

    Re: Advice needed. What color for my new S5 ?

    it looks awesome though!

    I just meant him...the car definitely doesn't fit him.

    way off topic...

    it's funny that when you write f@ggy on here it shows up like this:***gy
    but when you write fuck it's smoothe sailing.

    Phantom Black looks mean. The A5/S5 also looks good in DSB.

    Re: Advice needed. What color for my new S5 ?

    Sprint Blue is definitely an enthusiast color. I like Black, but I'd get tired of it within a couple of years. Just look at the RS4 or S4 black....boring.

    I agree. Love the RS Blue or whatever it is called on an S5.

    However, my wifes seriously hates this color, so after two weeks of whining, I eventually surrendered and agreed on a Phantom Black Pearl.

    White is also way cool - just not practical in our climate.

    Re: Advice needed. What color for my new S5 ?

    White's the new silver. If you want one 6-speed w/ magma interior fully-loaded PM me, I'm personally sick of white.

    Sprint blue is the enthusiast color. It is what I want to switch to after I ditch the white.

    Misano red w/ ivory interior is rare and STUNNING in person. Would totally jump on this color also, but no one has one for me to buy.

    Black is a classic color. On the S5 though, totally hides the nice lines and curves of the car, and many of my friends have commented on it as making the S5 look like a "cheap" car.

    Glut orange is wild, but looks great, very attention grabbing. If you're a narcissist and only get attention in your life from the car you drive or you're a hardcore Porsche RS convert this is for you.

    It's very hard to go wrong with an S5, the car is beautiful period.
