"limousine" is how the Germans refer to a sedan.

Default I don't think so...

you have been able to get A6's with dark lower bumpers and sills for some time in Europe. I think that's what you're seeing.

Default I have no idea...

...I've not heard (or seen) of a two tone colour option for the US?? although I've seen them in Europe (UK) and it tends to be a way to diffentiate "cheaper" models. (Flame suit at the ready...)

Default that's Cashmere Grey, isn't it?

The lower parts are unpainted because that's how they do it in Europe.

Default They do it in the US, too... just not on the NeuA6 and S4...

A4, C4 A6, S6, etc, all had black lower trim.

Default The colours are.... (more)

New A6: Dolphin Grey Metallic (F5)
A6 Limo: This your regular 2001 A6 sedan in Europe, where the lower bumper parts are not colour coded as in the USA. Only the S6 get colour coding in Europe and elsewhere.
The first three picture look different due to the picture's lighting but could be Quartz Metallic (G5), however all the light colour models are either Alu Silver (L5), or unlikely Light Silver Metallic (5B). The darker ones are you famous Ming Blue (Q5).
For the Avant, first there is Alu Silver, then a blue which could be Nemo Blue (4K) or Satorin (5J)
Then either Hibiscus Red (7H) or Andorra Red (2H), then one silver, then Jasper Green (4N) and the darker green one is Racing Green (8N)
The S6's are, Light Silver (5B), Ming Blue (Q5), Nogaro Blue Metallic (M8) for the lighter blue Avant, and finally Brillant Black (A2).

Hope this helps

Default My money goes to Ebony Pearl for the color.

I've had that picture as my wallpaper for almost 2 years now. I remember looking at longingly while I waited for my car for 3 months, and wondering if the PSK wheels would look just as good as these... ah the days of wander.

I took a couple of pictures in BW of my car in a similar light setup, and it came out very close to this one.
