I still to see one in black to see if I have made the right choice just think it will look stealthy especially with the 19" santiago's on and fed up of owning white cars.......should certainly look mean at dusk with running lights on!

I am a fan of black, my last two were black, Phantom and Brilliant and the A3 always looks amazing when I give it the full treatment, it is a great colour for a car, BUT it does show the dust and dirt quite readily and bird mess in particular and there is also swirls and fine lines close up.

I am not a detailer and the car does the daily churn of domestic and work and it is infrequent to when I get to give her a clean so for me I think the white is going to be a better day to day colour for me.

But do not second guess the look of the Black as seen many a Golf GTI in that colour and always look great and sure with them Santiago it will look amazing :)

What colour - answers on a postcard!  :smiley:

Almost 100% sure it's Limestone Grey. Not my favourite for the GTD/GTI models. Somehow it just doesn't suit it.

Yes, Limestone.
I have a Limestone GT TDI parked near me every day so am very familiar with the shade.

According to that atricle VWs future is in US sales? If that's the case then why do they pay 2/3 of what the European market do (except for the poor Danes!)? Fair do's that a Mexican built one has far cheaper labour costs, but they keep moaning about wanting a German built one - the GTI and GTD would fall flat on their arse if they had to pay $40k for one. Are we subsidising the US market's cheap prices? They already get free metallic paint and a 10 year power train warranty. We get a very poor deal compared to them. It's hard to stomach that a German built GTI or GTD costs £9.5k in the US despite import tax - I thoughht we got favourable taxation for European produced goods with the EU.
