Default Atlas Gray is my favorite exterior color. Seems to accent the wheel/bumper trim well.

The reason I chose beige was because I've had too many rigs with black & gray interiors in the past.

Like the Alpaka with the brown int--not a common color--looks easy to keep clean??!

Default In NM, hot climate means dust! and black is very hard to keep clean...

my last car was black, and I had to wash it constantly to look good, even with no rain. My ar is alpaka, which looks MUCH better when dusty. Interior is black, which I suppose gets a bit hotter than brown on sunny days...I just liked the black. Easier to keep clean with kids n dogs too.

Default Having had a black S4, and now an Atlas Gray AR...

I HIGHLY recommend the atlas. It always looks good, wheras black looks good for 5 mins. Black ar's are beautiful though when clean.

Plus Atlas has the special low drag compound (patent pending) = goes faster

Default Without a doubt Green/Green

11 months in, and I still love the look of this. I've been through a summer and winter now, and I find it a good balance of appearance and practicality. I also like the red and blue exteriors, but these wewren't around when I got mine.

My S4 had black leather which was too dark and dull - wanted Silver but didn't want to wait.

Default It is very easy to keep clean - much better than black.

The Alpaka/Beige combo is quite nice, too.

Default I recognize that spot. Did you know that location is now Barrier Audi/Saab?

They moved Porsche somewhere else and dropped Jag altogether. Hopefully that means the service will be a bit better.
