Default Black or Amaretto interior?

I have narrowed down two A8L's, both identically configured, one with the black interior, the other with amaretto. Both look sharp, but I'm not sure how the amaretto goes with the silver exterior, I know the black one it looks great.

Also, the amaretto A8L is $2000 more then the black, but it has 6,000 less miles. Decisions, decisions...

Default Amaretto, here's my reason... <more>

I've owned both an all black interior A8L and my current Amaretto A8.

The Amaretto hands down has the most jaw-dropping "awe" reaction to anyone who ever sees it - absolutely no contest. The all black is sweet to be sure but it's not "special".

Keep in mind, black interiors are common the world over, but the Amaretto combo is simply stunning and rather unique to Audi.

Just my 0.02... it boils down to a personal preference.

Default Ditto!!!!!!

I wish I would have coughed up the extra cash for the amaretto interior when I was in the thought process. The few times I have seen one on the lot, I was highly tempted to trade mine in. The a8 is always a jaw dropper, but the amaretto just leaves the jaw on the ground!!!

Just my 2 1/2 pence

One thing to consider: If you keep the car for many years, the black will hold its looks better.

Default What's the exterior color of your current Amaretto car?

I do LOVE the amaretto, I'm just not sure it goes with the silver exterior.

I have had biege interiors in my cars for the last 20 years and I am just so sick of it, I know I need something different. I don't think I have sat in a gray interior, but it looks very cheap from all of the pictures I have seen online that it's not even a consideration.

I'd forgotten how stunning Amaretto looks the first time you see it.

Default negative. Amaretto is just stunning for the A8. Keep it up with a good cleaner/conditioner every few

weeks or months, and enjoy some contrast rather than plain boring and may i say drab black?
