I like the Alpaka and Ecru color swatches in the brochure. But when I saw the Ecru interior on a Black exterior, I thought it looked a lot lighter than brochure. Didn't like it as much.

Boring color-better for a Lexus-not an Audi

My dealer has a handful of blacks and a silver on the lot now.

I've only ever seen one Green, at dusk, in drizzle, in a dealer's back lot, with the white plastic shipping stickers still on, so it was hard to get a good impression from the side panels. It didn't have the backseat which I wanted, so I moved on ... and I already had a deposit on my Atlas Gray wonder!

I imagine the Green is very nice - dark green and dark blue have always been favorite car colors of mine. I was set on a dark green or the very deep blue A6 2.7T when I stumbled on the allroad. Though with the Highland Green I think I'd opt for the black/gray interior, leaving the green/green combo for the ladies (sal?).

The Alpaka will be a hit with the alt. Lexus folks (soccer moms?). A "softer" look. (sal?)

I prefer lighter interiors and would have preferred seats in light brown/beige, but there was little (no) choice on mine and it's worked out fine so far. Ask me again in July ...

I have not seen the Alpaka Beige. I liked the color swatches from the brochure, but really liked the Highland Green when I saw it. Even though I felt that the green interior was attractive, I opted for the platinum because I was concerned that I would grow tired of the green.

So you've seen one?

My dealer said Alpaka was cancelled..

I just stopped by the local dealer here in NH Saturday, and they had two Alpaka Beige allroads on their lot. Both with platinum/sabre black interiors. The Alpaka was parked next to an Atlas Gray allroad, and I actually preferred the Alpaka.

I bought it for 7% over invoice, and am taking delivery this Saturday!

as more brown than beige? Putty? How easy was it to get your deal?

I probably am not the best person to describe the color, but to me it was more of a brown than true beige. It also seemed to have a hint of purplish tint to it, but not much. The color is actually darker than the Atlas Gray.

Making the deal was not bad. I dealt with the sales manager (no going back to OK the price with the manager when you deal with the manager). He was also in charge of ordering the inventory, so it was fairly easy to get him to compromise to move a car that is sitting on his lot.

His first offer was about $4100 over invoice (about $900 off of MSRP). I got him down to $3000 over invoice very quickly, probably should have pushed him for more, really.
