been staring at this thread all day... 18" looks great... i was second guessing my decision, but they give the car a nice look, and i bet it rides smooth!

Ride is fantastic. I'm very happy. I couldn't test drive a 'non sport' suspension and the 18" sport felt nice. I don't want to feel every pothole. This is great combo with an amazing ride.

Another point of comparison... when my car was in for tint, I got a 12 A4 quattro as a loaner. The handling and ride wasn't even close to the A6. Much firmer and more sway and float... not a good feeling.

Thanks for the great pics. Is that a pretty good representation of how Aviator looks in the bright sun? I'm amazed at the blue/green color, I haven't seen that in any other pictures.

My favorite color combo, pics are excellent.
I wonder if one can special order the velvet beige interior with dark carpet like what's available on the A7?
I think that would be a great contrast and also look cleaner with all the slush and snow in Cleveland.

It sure looks great with the beige interior. We just traded my wife's 2010 A4 S-Line for a 2012 A6 in Avaitor Blue with black interior. The color looks great in the sun and she wanted the darker interior package. After her black A4, preceeded by a black E Class, and my current black S4, preceeded by a black Shelby GT500, she thought is was time to park a new color in the garage.

Nice. Does a standard size water or pop bottle fit at an angle in the forward part of the space below the armrest like in the A4?

I have the same color combo and love it. The only difference in my car is that I have the standard Prestige wheels.
I bought mine from dealer stock.

I am finding that the light colored mats get dirty very easily. But the interior is fine and stays clean nicely. I may spring for some black replacement mats after I make a mess of my beige ones. That would have been a nice option to have.

The one i'm looking at has the wood but it's glossy. Is the one i'm looking at normal ?

I LOVE the color combo. I took some pics in sun, in shade, and tried to capture the ambient lighting at night.
