Since I bought my (atlas) allroad in November, not only have I not seen another in my town...
...I haven't seen another allroad at all (on the road that is). I have of course, seen the other ones at the dealership during my frequent visits there. 8^)

I've got Atlas myself (first choice, too) but I don't understand why so many people want it
Not that there's anything wrong with Atlas, but other than Silver (too much contrast with the trim) and Black (just personal preference), I like ALL the allroad colors. I'd have been happy with any one of the others. Just seems odd that so many people go for Atlas when there's so many others so close.
A year ago I was looking at A4 Avants, and there was really only one color I liked...Dolphin Gray. Then they discontinued that for Avants in 2003. I don't really care for Atlas on the A4. But with the allroad's dark bumpers and roof, Atlas is great. (On the other hand, I don't think I'd like a Dolphin Gray allroad as much.)

That's the reason my new allroad won't be Atlas grey
I really like the Altas grey color alot, but I know of 4 allroads in the small town I live in, and 3 of them are Atlas grey! I just hate that! I also think Audi should offer more colors anyway. BMW offers 13 colors on their 525 sportwagon (although some are hard to tell apart from each other) And Mercedes has something like 16 colors available on the E-class wagon.

I've seen a lot of cars in metallic grey lately....
Especially concepts and new models, i.e. - the new Ford Mustang concept, the new Bentley coupe, the Porsche Cayenne in print ads, etc. I guess it's the new "it" color. I like it.

What is your color choice??????
Obviously I do too. IMHO, it is a nice in between of silver and black, elegant but hidding the beast within. My favorite color is black (had 3 vehicles that color). But being as **** as I am about car cleaning, I really hate how it shows the slightest dust a couple of hours after spending a lot of time getting it beautiful. Atlas Grey seems to stay cleaner longer and not show the dirt as much.
Even with Atlas grey becoming more popular, I too like to be unique and am trying to do things that will set mine apart from the rest of the pack. A difficult task with sooooo few after market parts available for the AR.

Just to add fuel to the fire here are some of my favorite alternate colors

I am not going to leave the pictures of the white allroad up long, the owner was nice enough to email me them, he posted a solitary picture on AW a while back. Personally my vote for additional colors would be to replace the atlas with the dolphin grey, add white which was rumored to be coming with the 4.2 allroad, and maybe the denim blue.
