Default When it rains it pours. I picked up my car today as well.

Picked this up today from Willow Grove Audi. Surprisingly, I ordered the last week of August and it came in 45 days ahead of what they initially told me. The V6T side badges were removed by the dealer at my request. I've really only had the opportunity to drive it home so far but from what I've felt so far I am going to be very happy. It was raining but I tried to take some pics that would show the depth of meteor gray. It looks great in person but photos don't capture the character of the color well. You can kind of see the 3 different colors it takes on in the images below.

Thank you for the pictures. Mine is still in production and the pictures help the wait.

Congrats on taking delivery! Another rainy day pickup - I swear it's a curse or something...

Congrats! Even in the rain these cars look great. Love the Meteor Gray - if we didn't already own a gray car that would have been my first choice.

Thanks man. From the looks of it you and I have just about the same exact car except for the color. Your deep sea blue is awesome as well. That color has quite a range of what it can look like. I got the silver silk nappa instead of black. I'll be sure to post some pics tomorrow of it.

Should be nice tomorrow. Then I'll get a chance to see what she is really all about.

It's worth every second you'll wait.

Grats man! Glad to see you get yours finally and so soon too! I could totally tell it's Meteor, they picked a great name for that color, it's very remarkable.
