That gray is really nice. Blue is really nice too.

I've got 2 black cars and they look dirty a day after washing them. Plus you can see swirlies really easily with black.

My previous car was silver and it would look good even after a month of not washing them.

Audi has some of the best colors so you really can't go wrong. I also love the red Audi uses on their A4.

Yeah wanted one since they first came out...:)

black. Black is teh uber-color for cars.

Agreed.

Yeah, otherwise, please get another car.

I guess you don't like them. :)

If you go for black...do they still have that baseball stitched leather option?

Oh, btw, in case you need a shipping address for the TT, just PM me

They do yes. :D Noesn't float my boat though!

My friend owns one and I've had the pleasure of driving it. I personally wouldn't own one, not very practical or exciting for it's price (I'm sure I could find a car *I* like better / performs better for that price). It is different than most other vehicles and a nice car overall.

I duuno. 225 BHP from a 1.8 Ltr engine is not bad. Oh those WRX don't half shift... :)

It will and will be harder to clean, but everyone and their dog has a silver TT. Makes it very very freaking boring and totally ununique. Go with black.

Exactly the reason why I asked. Exactly. :)

Not to scare you or anything but have you done your research on TT yet ?
A lot of people have had problem with it. Mostly electrical.
It's a nice car though, just want to make sure that you have done your homework before plunking down $35k+ for it.

To be honest I have not. :( But, I have not heard any bad things about them, only the issue with suspension when they first came out. Perhaps it's an electrical problem with US Spec cars...I dunno....

I would get it blue dark blue.

Moro Blue. this was one of my choices until I saw one up close. It seemed to show scratches really bad.

I just realized that I don't think I've ever seen a black TT... the silver and gray colors are all over the place, and I've seen red, blue, white, etc. but I don't think I've actually seen a black one. Weird.

There is prolly a reason for that. i.e Black is hard to keep clean. But keeping Black car clean in the UK is not easy. U guyz and Galz in the States (Some Parts) need not worry about the weather! :)

Neither....get somthing original.

Thats what I wanted to do but for an original colour they charge £1,500 extra and it's only a Pearlescent. :(

Well I went with the majority and have gone for Silver. How original... :)
