Midnight Blue

[adaM3]

After having a black Q7 I said I'd never have a black car (or v dark car) again. Don't get me, I think black cars look awesome if clean and looked after, but if neglected they can look terrible. Silver on the other hand can look good for far longer between washes etc.

So whilst configuring my A7, I decided to go for Tornado grey, which is a light grey/dark silver, and IMO looks great.

But then I saw a black edition A7 in moonlight blue in the showroom and boy did it look good. But I worry how long it would look good for in the real world? As a father of two young children I no longer have the time to clean my cars as much as I'd like to, so I need to make the right choice for me.

I have decided I want moonlight blue, but I am still undecided whether to go for it or not.

Any of you lot got moonlight blue??

Great colour but it will show dirt nearly as much as black. Grey is much safer from a 'I don't want to clean it' and resale perspective but the blue is much nicer IMHO.

I can feel a no pain no gain situation here. Seems a shame to pay all that money and settle for 2nd best doesn't it?

My Daytona Grey RS6 is the first non black car I have had for a while and I am amazed at how good it has looked throught the winter even when pretty dirty.

I am a convert.

Interesting, Daytona is an option on tha A7, hmm...

I went with a special order of midnight blue on my Audi as I wanted a colour to detract from the car and make it a touch more subtle. I really like it and its a good colour but it does show the dirt.

Audi's generally, look good with the darker colours in my opinion.
