Is brown coming back? I would like to see some gold lettering. I remember Brown being popular in the 80's but it seems as though everything from the 80's including brown paint was tossed. There were some good looks about the 80's but unfortunately there was also a lot of bad so it all basically went away. Example, yellow gold. Anway, that's a different subject all together. It doesn't look bad but would need to see it in person before forming an opinion. The good thing is the S4 can pull off any color. Brown is not necessarily a sports car color but the S4 to me is sporty and elegant.

That is really cool! Is that an Audi Individual color?

Lovely color, though as someone remarked maybe not a traditional sport sedan color - but clearly you didn't choose color to be traditional Having said that, very 'rich' looking.

If S4 had a option for different color plastic and I/Panel trim - say even a black V's current gray (not to say a tan) - then personally I feel the maple gold would strike off even better. Hypothetical talk ....sorry

I understand the V6T debadging thing, but any reason why you left the S4 debadged from rear?

I really like it. Does it look as "coppery" in person as it does in the pictures?

I think it looks great debadged on this one. And "gold lettering" would certainly detract from what this is.
