The black is sportier, but IMO, it is also more boring with Ibis White.

And that is why, when I ordered my 2010 Brilliant Black A5 last December, I went with Linen Beige, Sport Package & the B&O stereo.

I wanted an S-Line A5...but it only came/comes with a black/dark interior...and even worse IMHO...a black headliner. Similar to the Titanium Package. Way too dark inside. I know, because I test drove an S-Line, and couldn't stand the interior. So I opted for the Sport Package with the Linen Beige interior. Has all the important handling parts of the S-Line, including the Sport Seats & 19" wheels...but actually saved me a few bucks in the process, and I got a very light & airy interior.

When the car arrived at the dealership...EVERYONE went nuts, because they had never seen an A5 done like this. Even the GM was impressed.

Sadly...in Europe, you can order a Black Trim Package (just blacks out ALL the exterior chrome trim) on several models, that will let you get the lighter interiors. Bummer for us in the states.

Yep. You can make a real statement with this car or you can do the ordinary and go black. White with Tuscan and people will be drooling when they see your car. Go black and you will look like any Merc, BMW or for that matter any other car on the road.

I am ordering an Ibis White with titanium package....

Thinking about the whole black and white theme, should I go with Tuscan brown interior or black interior... the Titanium package also comes with black headliners...

So Tuscan brown interior or Black interior? And why?
Spend an extra 2500 bucks and get the Glut Orange. and blk interior.
It's an beautiful color. Check out the Chef's car.

Would prefer RED as it contrast really well with the white.

I have never seen the brown in person but basically, if you want to contrast, go red. If you want to be conservative, go black. I guess brown is in the middle.

To be honest with you, I can care less about making a statement, its just im confused because both are lovely colors to me. I see the black and I want it, then I see the tuscan brown and I want it.

What the Mercs, BMWs, etc. people have in their cars don't matter... because having an Audi to me is a statement by itself.

lol ur good, but everytime i see the pic you showed me, i want the tuscan brown. I ordered my car on the 17th with the black... how long do you think i have time to make my decision?

When I went the past week, they had already allocated my car and saw on the paper and it was the last one there... does that mean anything?
