    I couldn't snap a picture, but damn, it looked good. I didn't know this was a color for 2016??

    Is it rare?

    By far my favorite color.


    For reference:

    you could put dog shit in a nardo grey colored shoe box and it would look amazing. Nardo + Nogaro = two best audi colors hands down.

    Ahh gotcha. Is Nardo like one of those $4k paint options?

    I'd really consider paying it.

    I saw one at the San Diego airport last week early Friday morning, had the stock 19's on it. I really wanted to go check it out up close, but getting on my flight to the east coast took precedent. Looked good though.

    Yes Daytona to my eyes is lighter with more reflection. I have Monsoon and love it, but would have gotten Daytona if it was available on the 16's.

    ya, it would of been one or the other for me too. i like my audis grey. although i did contemplate ordering mine in nogaro, but i like the red leather inserts on the seats and, to me, it looks better on a grey audi.

    Quiet a few Nardo's in Oz and esp with the RS3. Looks different, but really is a boring colour especially when cheaper brands such as Hyundai have the same.

    Scion put it on theirs a lot (I mean, not the 'same' color but a flat gray). Doesn't mean it doesn't look better on Audis.

    Last time I was up at my dealer a few months ago they had a RS7 in Nardo on the showroom... ..it's not "boring", it's very classic and gorgeous. I mean, if 3-stage sparkle purple is you're thing I can see how Nardo would be "boring" lol

    That said, I would have a hard time paying the $4000 for Nardo, it should have been a factory color IMHO, even if they wanted to tie it to a package (like sport seats, etc).

    Love Nardo, almost certain whatever my next Audi is it will be Nardo.

    Haven't seen a S3 or 4 with it around here though.

    Love Nardo. Reminds me of Porsche's Sport Classic Grey paint. So good.
