Very nice color choice, nobbyv

What did you go with for the interior?

I agree that it is sad that Sprint Blue is no longer available as a standard color. The new 2012 standard colors aren't that appealing and the color selection seems a lot duller now w/o Sprint Blue or Imola Yellow. If I didn't get car as a 2011, I probably would settle for Ibis White w/ Titanium. Also sucks that the two-tone interior is gone for the 2012 S5; not sure about the S4.

I agree - that's a special color! It reminds me of my Nogaro Blue 2000 S4. I absolutely loved it everytime I looked at it - as did just about everyone else who saw it! I don't know why great colors like this are discontinued so quickly...

Congrats on an awesome looking car, but it won't be the last. Just got word that my 2012 Sprint Blue S4 will be built in late August. Planning for ED in Sep. Decided to get the special color instead of a nav system. The wife's Droid does nav just fine.

Very nice ride! Best color hands down. I bet Audi will bring it back once things settle down with Japan. Or at least add a similar "racing" blue. They always had one since the early Nagarro days.

2011 - '12 won't be delivered until last few days of July at the earliest, August usually.

Werd. Such a great colour - sad to see it go.

Tried that, but I was happy enough when AoA stepped in to get me one of the last Sprint Blue 2011's. Didn't want to push my luck asking for a 2012.

I went basic on the interior: black w/ black Alcantara inserts. Had never had Alcantara before, definitely digging it.

Nice! I was in Germany three weeks before mine was built, and was really hoping to push the trip out a bit, but wasn't able to. Did ED on my BMW 135i and had a blast; sure you will as well. You won't regret the $2500 for Sprint Blue; its a great color. You might end up being the ONLY Sprint 2012.

The post below has pics of what nobbyv thought might be the only Sprint Blue 2012 S4 during its European break-in (which was a blast!):

It should've landed in RI on Friday, so hopefully we'll have it in MI in time for our annual Thanksgiving drive to Chicagoland.
