so many have put it down. My only (minor) complaint is that it doesn't look that good at twilight; it looks a little flat in fading light.

Default agreed.

The Meteor Gray seems to have less reflective flecks in it for some reason. I love the idea of a dark gray with greenish hues, but sometimes it looks so blue and other times almost teal like which I'm not crazy about. But maybe the dealer cars need a good coat of Klasse and a top coat of wax on them. My Avus silver can look "flat" or "dull" without the wax or a little dirty. But on a bright sunny day it's reflective and beautiful. Anyway I'm having some second thoughts about the Meteor for sure.

Pics I took at the delearship:

Default Daytona is my favorite Audi color right now

I saw the R8 in that color and lately have seen several S8's. Holy cow it's gorgeous at night under the street lights. Just beautiful.

Default i feel its like silver. It could be clean or dirty and it still looks the same. Black and white glow

when they are clean.
