Evening,

New to this corner of PH. So hello.

Due to my family rapidly growing I have put my summer car on the market and need something a little........bigger.

So RS4 it is then, doing some prelim research and there appears to be the choice of 4 colours only, is this the case?

Misano? Red
Avus Silver
Nogaro Blue
Black

Were there any others?

Thanks and any other info to look out for appreciated.

Red is great
Silver is...well silver, so great resale but dull
Nogaro is awful...but some people love it (not my idea of how discrete an S or RS Audi should be)
Black is great

There is also Goodwood Green which is worse that Nogaro.

There was a red one for sale in the Sunday Times a couple of issues ago. Suits the car well.

Nogaro is gorgeous....but then again I also think Sophie Ellis Bexter is good looking! Horses for courses and all that.

Must admit to quite liking Nogaro myself.

Ideally I would have liked a nice dark grey, gunmetal or similar.

There are some other more rare colours:
- Imola Yellow
- Merlin(?) Purple
- a dark metallic blue (don't know the name).

The guys over ar www.rs246.com can provide more information about RS4s than you're ever likely to need.

Ming Blue I think makes an appearance on at least one RS4.

I still dont understand why they changed the name of RS Blue to Nogaro Blue...

I cancelled my order for an RS4 due to the small colour range and the lack of a dark blue so I kept my V6 S4 (Ming Blue) until I could get a V8 one (Moro Blue). Did'nt know I could have had Ming Blue on the RS4 - I guess it would have added a lot to cost and delivery time?

The yellow is rare, Imola if that helps. I've had one Avus (silver) and one nogaro one, I definately preffered the blue, and the residuals are quite strong on the blue ones it seems!
