Default Why so few colors?

A girlfriend of my wife's is looking at the TT 3.2 Roadster and is baffled by how few colors Audi are offering in US. Is there a reason for this? Do Audi not expect it to be that successful here? Does anyone know if there are plans to expand the color range in US?

Default What the hell color does she want? Audi expects it to be very successful here....

but its always a nitch Sports Car. Its not an A4.

She can get Black, Red and White, all traditonal Sports Car colors. She can also get two shades of silver and a metallic blue....not sure if she is looking for Green? Yellow? Orange? Purple? Pink?

There are no plans to expand color line up...once in a while, they will add a color and drop another. DOnt count on it.


Tell her to get custom paint then, $2500 bucks and she can have Barbie Pink or any other color her heart desires.

Default Audi is just going with the USA flow

Just read an article on CNN Money. Just over 90% of all cars and SUV's sold in the USA are white, black, various silvers, dark blues or red. Gee, the entire Audi TT color line.

Guess I'm a rebel like zerinB7. I plunked down $2500 extra and ordered Papaya Orange.

Wanted to match her RS4 and the 997 Turbo Coupe she has on order.

Default The Originals Usually Do

If you or SarinB7 are unhappy with my handle I suggest you do a search to see how long I've been here and on other websites using "Le Chef". It's about 12 years give or take a sentence or two.

Check out the color options at the audi UK website, it's really too bad we don't have that choice
