Decisions decisions. Any thoughts and or pictures would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Check out the websites of larger Audi dealers that have several cars in stock. Audi of Bedford in Ohio has great photos inside and out of their vehicles and allowed us to view both the Natural Ash wood (now high gloss instead of flat finish) as well as the light Alcantara headliner. Our dealer (Sun Motors Audi in Mechanisburg) had an entire display drawer of exterior and interior samples including woods which allowed us to put together the perfect color combo for us.

Audi is misleading on the ash trim.

The fine grain ash actually had a gloss trim and it was not a matte finish. They since amended the order guided on a8s to let customers know.

The baleo brown int is different in that it's the non glossy matte wood as pictured.

So be careful what you order.
