Everyone has black or sliver.....I never see blue ones. I want a lease a aruba blue p+ would love to see some real customer pics! Especially if you have some aftermarket rims.

There's a "premium" one (as they call it in the US) on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2009-...3A1|240%3A1318
(Disclaimer: I have zero connection to the seller other than thinking that he/she/it took decent pictures of a nice coloured car)

https://www.audiworld.com/forums/sho...php?p=23643263 is a Canadian member of this forum with a Canadian-spec premium, which is somewhere between the US premium plus and prestige (but uses the US 'premium' rims?).

There was another person on this forum who posted pics of an aruba blue car... if you search, you should be able to find it.

Also, if you google for '"aruba blue" A4', you should be able to find a reasonable number of pictures. Aruba blue is also offered on the A3 and A5, FYI.

One last thing: if you want aruba blue, you'd better hurry. In Canada, it's not on the order guide for 2010. It's still on the US 2010 order guide, but for how long?

It's not that easy. I found it really hard to find any decent ones. A bit of digging on forums and I got these :

They seem to show it how it is in the real world. I'm just about to press the button on my order for an Aruba blue S-line Avant 2.0T 6MT ..... but the sales controller (not my normal sales exec) asked me on Saturday "are you sure". It seems it's not that popular and may be more difficult to move on. I'm pondering going back to the colour I've had for the last 5 years (Brilliant Red) and it's £540 cheaper and potentially better resale!

Hmmm. That's strange - I've found plenty of pictures from US dealers by doing that. A few UK ones, too...

Not too many from actual owners of the cars, that's true...

Thanks guys!

The last pic by Scotty was sweet!!

I couldn't see the first 2.

Interesting if they have a hard time selling them. Might help with the negotiation!!

You have to order one. I waited almost 4 months to get mine. On the upside, when you order you get exactly what you want.

Yeah, I was crunched on time, so had to pick from the pool.
