Default Bye AG 180QC, welcome Green 225QC (Cleveland - long)

Several months ago I posted about Sunnyside Audi messing up my order on a 225QC. Everything was fine but it was a 180QC instead of AG 225QC that I had ordered. As you would expect I was highly miffed, and I said so.
Chuck at Sunnyside Audi was regretful about the whole thing and we gave me the option of buying the 180QC, and then trading it in at a set amount when a newly ordered 225QC came in, or I could keep the 180QC with $1500 off.
My Eclipse GSX was on the verge of death, so I decided to take the AG 180QC now, and trade it in later.
Since it was May, we were expecting a 6 - 7 month wait for a new 225QC. Chuck said that AG was out of production (I could never verify this), I went for green.
Out of the blue, I get the call at work saying my car is in. I ask that no circular buffers touch the car, and I will be picking it up this evening.

I loved the AG 180QC (nicknamed Raincloud), but it missed a little oomph. I was very happy with raincloud, and that was why I wasn't even checking in with Chuck about the order. I didn't know that he had expediated somewhat. I'm sure that he wants to get raincloud back so he can sell him again, but I appreciate his efforts. Now I am excited about getting into the 225QC that I am being totally unproductive at work, that's why I'm posting.

All I have to do now is get the junk out of Raincloud, remove the valentine and remote. I hope that Chuck will be understanding about the scratch on one of the rims. I will be posting my feelings about the 225QC in comparison to Raincloud soon.
In the meantime, anyone interested will be able to find a AG 180QC with 2600 miles available at Sunnyside Audi starting tomorrow. Scratch on one rim, Zaino'd, and never hit rev limiter.

Thanks for letting me ramble.

Default I don't think it was discontinued, but ...

I think there may have been a period about the time I was ordering when they said to not take orders for AG. I believe that after that short interval, they started taking orders again.

But it should be. Saw one again today and . . . well, I'd never get one.

Default I agree with RJK, my wife and I miss our AG (more)

The color really grows on you. We had to stop by another dealer before going to Sunnyside. My friend was buying a used A8, my influence I'm sure. The salespeople at the Audi dealer were coming out to gaze at my AG.

I sorta' miss Raincloud since I took delivery of desert green tonight after dark. There doesn't seem anything special about it. I'm hoping (sure) that I'll feel better about Desert Green tomorrow, but I still miss (weep) my AG. It was a color that had real character.
