Default Buying Nemo Blue S6 Avant sight unseen...Am I nuts?

After studying as many pics as I could find here and elsewhere on the net, I have decided to "go for it" and buy this car sight unseen. Moving up from my 00 S4 Sedan. Need more of a bike/ski wagon and the Allroad styling just doesn't do it for me.

Everyone seems to really like Nemo and from what I can tell, it's relatively rare on an S6 Avant.

Car to arrive Thurs and delivery scheduled for Friday.

Nemo is nice, but it's pretty plain.

Default Not nuts...it is excellent...very rare...

it was not a standard color, but somehow a few dealers ordered a bunch of Nemos...there might be 10 or so in the entire country (just guessing...there are definitely very few)...but Nemo looks great.

Default Word of caution...

Hopefully it's a different car - but the only one I know of in the East was one taken back by the local dealer here because they couldn't get the On-Star and telephone systems to mesh or work... they tore the car apart and the owner ended up refusing to take it back....

As I said - hopefully it's a different car - this one was in Maine... worth asking a bit of background given how rare that car is...'

It is the best color for sure !!

Default Mine is coming from Upstate NY

OnStar is not installed in the car so I don't think it's the specific car you mention. Thanks for the heads up though.

Default I like the RS6 Styling actually...

esp. the bumpers.

Allroad OTOH looks too "clunky" to me. Just my .02. I do like the rare allroads I've seen with the molding painted body color. The industrial grey doesn't do it for me.

Of course it resists soccer ball scuff marks pretty well... ;-)
