Default red S4

Thinking about colors... I haven't seen a red S4 in person nor a lot of (non-promotional) photos of the S4 in red. Anyone with any photos of a red S4? Any regrets for those that have gotten one in red? Thanks.

I have red. I haven't seen ANY other red S4s where I live. Actually, I can't say that I've seen any on here either.

Anyhow, I have ZERO regrets about getting red. I also got the magma/black interior. I was excited to order it, then, while on order, I was having second-thoughts. But, once it arrived ... WOW! No remorse whatsoever! None. It's a flashy-looking car and color, so you should really be sure you *WANT* a flashy-looking car.

I'm going to *TRY* to give my car a good wash this weekend (weather permitting) and take some good pics of it. I'll post them here in this thread.

I'd like to help you out but mine is not due in for another 3 weeks. Have you seen the one on the Urban Carving video On the Audi usa S4 site? BTW, this will be my second Brilliant red S4. The red IS very bright. Might be better named Arrest Me Red. But I like it much better then BMWs Crimson red.

I was on the same situation as you 3 weeks ago when I was making decision on color. I actually found that most promotion material from Audi use red for S and RS cars, like S4 and RS5 in Canada. I actually visited a few dealerships in order to see a red one in person and eventually found a red A4 S line (which is close enough). The red one grow on me more and more as I look at it longer. This is my first red car as well so I was kind of skeptical but I know I have made the right choice. Can't wait for it to arrive in May.

My last A4 (B7) was Brilliant Red and I *LOVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVED* it. It's one of the best reds on the market, so when it came time to order my S4, Brilliant was the obvious choice

I saw a red S4 a few weeks ago and it looked really sharp. I was debating red, but my wife wouldn't allow it. She said I might as well sign on the dotted line that I'm officially going through a mid-life crisis. So Ibis it was.

I was just looking at youtube for S4 videos and found this one. It's a new owner of a red S4 with 19" wheels. From about the 1:00 minute mark to the 2:00 mark there's some good still photography. (It was posted by a guy named Phil, but it's not me)
