They are both nice, but black is commitment to maintain, unless you are not annoyed with imperfect paint surface. Some people are not sensitive to defects or appearance of defects in paint. I have had black & washed it twice a week, but most the time it looked like it needed to be washed.

I don't think I've seen many, if any, pics on the forum of a black or white with the Ti package.

I'm sure you have gone to the audi website and built both. Those pics are pretty good and you can see a couple angles.

I too have owned 3 black cars...all in a row. And after the first one I swore I would never do it again. Then I did. After the second I swore I'd never do it again...and I did. After the third I swore I'd never do it again...and I have not and most likely will not.

Black and solid red's typically show more scratches. Metalics are more stealthy.

The white is very dirt/scratch/car wash friendly color. Audi has a great shade of white. I think the Ti package would look great with it too.

But Audi offers a couple shades of black standard so someone must be buying them!

Here's some pics...white, black and red...I threw in the red b/c I'm partial to it!!!

The black doesn't have stock rims...but the color contrast is there for you to see...I can't find a stock black w/Ti.

Here is mine. Black with TI, black interiors...I got to say, the Ice Silver MEtallic looks sick. Was gonna buy it but didn't like the brown interior, if it was red I would've gotten that one instead.

Default Black, White, Red

To me, these 3 are some of the best colors...all worth having and all with their own merits.
I would not get silver in the S4 because the mirrors just don't pop as much that way...and that is one of my favorite exterior features.
My first A4 was black. Loved it, but swore I would never do it again. If you aren't picky about water spots, black is a great color.
I had an Infiniti G35 that was white...great color. (AWD not NEARLY as good as Audi btw) Always looked clean, but just didn't seem as shiny.
My S4 is red...LOVE IT! (just thought I'd throw that in)
They are both gorgeous colors...just depends on what you are looking for. My dad has an S5 that is white and I think it looks really sharp.
