Even though the blue is new & nice, I think the red is nicer on the refresh.

Btw, the picture of Red S4 looks professionally taken as the detail we see in Person is all preserved on the red one where as it is lot on the blue one

For example, Look at the grille , how good it look on the red

misano looks amazing but arent you just asking to get pulled over every time you go by a cop when driving fast.

I've read that an evaluation of the statistics shows that the idea of red cars getting pulled over more often is urban legend.

I can tell you personally my Father as a State Trooper of 20 years and a police officer of more than 40 years told me speifically to avoid bright colored cars and custom license plates. You are easier to spot or catch later, was his point. I had a Red Porsche and would frequently get picked out of a group of cars by police. I sold it and had a twin turbo RX-7 that was much faster and blue. Very rarely got tagged in that and know I drove more agressively in it. Just my personal opinion.

as the owner of a brilliant red B6 S4 that was unfortunately totaled, my vote between these two is for the estoril blue.
I really lOve the audi brilliant red and the porsche gts red but I find the misano red to be too orange.
The new estriol blue is very nice although I would like to see it next to sepang blue or porsche's marine blue or lapis blue.
I still miss audi's nogaro blue which I liked much better than their sprint blue.
Congrats on the new S4!

Misano is a pretty awesome colour but to be honest, it is light years different to Estoril on a colour 'personality' basis.

Estoril = conservative, understated, dark and calm
Misano = WOW!

I love Misano, so I'd recommend you get it but only so I can see pics of your car. I wouldn't personally order a bright red sports sedan. Misano is a pretty rare colour isn't it? I thought it was only offered on RS models, myself.

Speaking of pics, this thread needs more Misano and Estoril pics. Here's a friend's Misano Red B7 RS4.
