Not a fan of that colour - can't see it appealing to many. Seems a few grand overpriced too.

Cherry Black is amazing when clean, Audi had an R8 spyder with magnolia leather on display at Neckarsulm....

I'll take your word for it P_G. Looks like a faded black to me!

It's got a great ruby reddish tinge to it which my crappy Cybershot found hard to demonstrate. But I don't think the RS4 owner's pics do the car justice. After Mugello Blue and Merlin Purple it is one of my favourite colours and rare given it is on the exclusive palate.

I hear what you are saying. Cars/colours often look better in the flesh than in photos.

Overpriced possible because they are trying to claw back the new engine expenditure - that would have been a massive bill!!
