Default Some Monsoon Avant pics for ya

I was driving by my local dealer last night after they were closed and I spied a Monsoon Avant in the lot so I stopped by to take some quick pics with the Iphone. Pics were taken at around 9pm and I also took a few after the sun set to show the car under different light. Sorry for crappy Iphone quality but hey I was just driving by and didn't have my D90 on me

I also took a front shot of a Quartz A4 parked two spots away 10 secs later to give an idea of the differences under the same light conditions.

Nice Avants. Thanks for posting that comparison.

Coincidence? that you happened to get shots of them at Sunset, around sunset?

Nice pics! Thanks for posting. That monsoon is a bit too dark for me though. Some earlier pics from other posts almost had me changing my mind, but I'll be sticking with Ice Silver on my order.

I saw a monsoon sedan over the weekend. Too much green in it for my taste.

I have seen 4 different Monsoons in the wild now and I just don't see the green that other people mention. I do admit that there is a little hint of green in some photos, even mine. I believe it has something to do with how the camera processes the photos.

I have seen the car in direct sunlight, in the shade, at dusk, and in the dark and I see very little if any green at all. I see hints of blue frequently but most often just a nice solid gray. It almost looks like graphite or pencil gray most of the time, to my eyes. 90% of the time I have looked at the car i see no green.
