Default nogaro blue?

Just trying to decide on which color to get my new S4 in, a little help would be appreciated. Trying to guess what the nogaro blue would look like with the blue alcantara inside, if anyone has piks of this color combination, they would be helpful. Does the silver alcantara get dirty easy? Is Audi still putting the Bridgestone Potenza's on the S4, i heard that some are having problems?

Thanks for the help

The colors are nearly the same. Sorry, no pics here.

<i>Does the silver alcantara get dirty easy?</i>

I've got the blue alcantara and it doesn't show any signs of dirt, etc. after six months.

My '00 came with P6000's.

I have the nogaro/blue alcantara. Search archives for pics... there should be lots of them. Or check the registry perhaps?

The alcantara is extremely durable, but I'm not too fond of the silver version. (biased.. I have blue) The silver is a little too white for me. Not sure if it stains easily, but I would guess not, since the blue is bulletproof. The black leather surrounding the alcantara will break/stain/wear out before the alcantara will.

The latest S4's are coming with Potenzas. There was a period where they switched to Pirelli's, but mine was delivered a month ago with the former.

Good luck and buy the blue if you want a little extra attention.

Silver holds up very well and looks very good IMO. I get compliments all the time.

Default Here are your pics, breakout.

The blue Alcantara is a very, very close match to the Nogaro. I think the combo looks great: sporty, individualistic. If you like blue, this is a great combination!

Note that in the picture above, the way the digicam exposed the interior of the car makes the Alcantara look a little lighter than it actually is. It's a deep blue -- those areas in the picture where it looks whitish are just artifacts of the camera exposure.
