Default Comparison of Nogaro Blue to Sprint Blue, courtesy of Audi of HV in Philly(BWW)

I know someone asked for a side by side a while back so here you go! I would say the colors are very close I imagine in less light Nogaro would appear more purple. It seems Sprint Blue has more of a metalic look then a pearl look. Additional note I like the rims on the B7, but I hate the V8 badge on the side under the turn indicator. Thats not really needed....

Default TJ: Never been a Nogaro fan, but seeing B6 & B7 side by side...B6 looks way better...

would only like to see the quad pipes on the B6...otherwise...

Something about the more angled (vs rounded) sheetmetal on the B6 makes it look sportier &amp; more agressive than B7.

Of course the new bodystyle catches my eye, and my propensity to want to "keep up with the Jones" makes me sometimes consider trading...but those pics have cured me of that thought -- at least for today!

This wasn't a B6 vs B7 post, but I guess you couldn't help yourself ;-)
