I'm hoping to catch a Meteor & Quartz side-by-side at dealer.
Definitely a difference in certain light.

Just picked up my Meteor S4 last Friday after a 3 1/2 month wait. Switched over to winter wheels and tires Saturday (18" VMR 708's with Dunlop Winter Sport 3D's). 275 miles so far and trying to take it easy until 600 or so. The color is certainly a personal preference, but I like the contrast between the darker gray and the chrome details, rather than the lighter Quartz.

This car is everything I expected and more. You'll love either color.

Ooops another typo.

It's actually S-tronic. Is you want DSG you have to buy a VW

p.s. Yes it is the same system

Thanks Scotty. I do realize it's the same thing. The DSG was used semi-generically to abbreviate "direct shift gearbox" as opposed to refer to a VW specific unit....but thanks for the correction nonetheless.
