Very nice but not very informative. I guess we all need to wait until the real deal rolls out for a good view

To me, the Titanium package would look great with Ibis White, Brilliant/Phantom Black, Quartz Gray (or Daytona Gray if you go Exclusive), Imola Yellow and possibly Meteor Gray. I'm just not quite sure if it completely fits in with Sprint Blue (my color of choice).

Granted, just the black grille on a Sprint Blue S4/S5 fits, but not I'm sold on the blacked out window surrounds.

The one thing that would keep me from getting the Titanium Package for my S5 is that is requires black seats. I wasn't thrilled about the same requirement for the A5 S-line package either. Then again, I could be color blind by going with the Black with "Silver" Alcantara inserts along with Sprint Blue

The one thing I would be interested in would be the Piano Black interior package as I assume that would replace the painted silver plastic around the gages like in the RS6. The rest, not so much. I think the blacked-out grille would make it look more like an A5 S-Line. I like the way the platinum grille sets the S5 apart. You're right... also only a good choice with certain colors.

I would so go for a Piano Black or Carbon Atlas surround for the gauges and MMI screen if it were an available option right now (my S5 hasn't been built yet).

The only other option I wish Audi would make available for the S models is to swap out the manual shifter and gate with one that looks like the R8's. I just love the look of the R8 shifter and exposed metal gates. The leather gate cover and ball-like shifter **** aren't bad, but doesn't have the same pop.

Fact, I love that shifter and it should be available for the sportiest interior look. Short shifting almost a necessity
