Manhattan seems quite close to black, and I'd worry that it would be just as difficult as black to keep clean.

Default Manhattan Gray

I have the Manhattan Gray with the 5 spoke Premium Plus wheels and I thinks they look great together. The Manhattan Gray is not nearly as hard to keep clean as a black car, as our other vehicle is Black.

Default Four of my Audi's have been Daytona Grey...

... it is lovely, always reflective. The paint is strong (compared to our Estoril Blue Crystal) where we had to respray the hood after two years. The Manhattan Grey is a new color and a nice choice... I would go with Manhattan Grey. After three of the last Audis having the Black Optic package, I am burned out on that too...

Happy Choosing

Eric

Save yourself some grief and see both colors in person. I was torn between manhattan, monsoon and midnight(?) blue. One trip to the dealer lot and I immediately knew that manhattan was the correct color. It has almost a gun metal anthracite color to it. Very happy with my decision. I have an Allroad so the daytona wasn't an option. Even if it had been I would have chosen the MGM. It's got a very understated sophisticated look.

Manhattan Grey...it looked really nice in person. But I do have a preference for darker cars.

Between Monsoon and Manhattan, I picked Monsoon. No regrets. I would pick Daytona over Monsoon personally though.

My manhattan gray prestige on 034 springs. It's a popular paint choice.
