I'm not sure what country you're purchasing this car in, but I just checked AudiUSA and Glacier White is not a standard color for A7.

If you have to pay extra to get GW on A7, you might want to look into other more exotic colors?

My view....all choice. My choice was black, and I am glad I did this. I was driving around town today, and saw a White A7, and again, personal choice, I took a deep breath and thought to myself....you did the right thing. I personally don't care for white in this car, or Audi's in general, unless of course you tint the windows with 20 grade tint and put some outstanding rims on it. I just never had the white catch my attention. In fact I almost bought an A6 Ibis white several years ago, and according to my thinking felt that it just didn't show the lines, or the beauty of the car the way it was meant to be.

Just sharing another perspective. But like others said, all a matter of personal choice, and there is no right or wrong. The only thing to consider....you might have this machine for a while, so TAKE YOUR TIME!!!!

Good Luck, love the A7, best car I have ever owned!!!

You can't get those rims in USA.

WOW!!

I always thought the A7's least attractive look was the side profile...

...until I saw this picture. Simply stunning.

Those "peelers" look great on the A7. Do after market wheel companies make knock offs of those?

Those look like 20" wheels as opposed to the 19" on the Audi S4.

I say white. I know I am biased.

I find it hard to agree with this statement - A7/S7 looks gorgeous from any angle, and in whatever colour!
But my biased opinion is still, Glacier White rocks!
