yes a real head turner when you see it in the metal and when the sun hits the paint it pops but has to be black pack the sliver trim looks <beep> with the green

I’ve seen it on an RS5, it wasn’t my cup of tea.
Defenitly have it with a black pack.
Bronze or black wheels would also go better with it than any stock wheel.

I absolutely love the colour, depending on the light it ranges from very light to very dark green - I couldn't find one at the right money when I was looking back in October - the Audi dealer down near Brighton had an identical (maybe this one) car which again was stupidly priced at something like £20k over the real value. That car is worth much closer to £60k absolute tops.
I'm not a fan of the silver trim either, though it has grown on me a bit, much like Misano - the trim could be wrapped for £6-700 (I obtained a quote). The spec of that car is like mine and one or two others here as an Audi UK press car, ordered before the UK spec was nailed down. Lunar silver headliner and load-rails/fixing kit are the clues as these options were never in the RS4 pricelist. Would be a cracking car at the right money - basically with the £20k' of options written back to zero and a bit of base vehicle depreciation.

......am biased and so cannot provide neutral comment, but I did have 'some' doubts when ordering from image pics. Am more than happy with this color in real life though.
Although standard metallic, it does somehow throw off different shades in different light conditions - more so than any of black, white or (Daytona) gray that I've had in past.

I’ve got Sonoma Green on order, with black pack and the milled alloys. Also a bit nervous as I’ve not seen it in the flesh.
Had ordered Daytona grey, but changed my mind, last 5 cars has been silver or a variation of it, so wanted something different without forking out for an Audi exclusive colour. In photos at least, I think it looks brilliant.

Again very biased but I love the Sonoma Green, when I was looking for my RS4 I spent ages trying to find one in green, ended up with a Carbon Edition one from Lincoln Audi.
The colour certainly gets a lot of comments when out & about!
Never been this clean since it was detailed

Really difficult presenter to watch & listen to - personally in any case:) - but some nice South Africa(n) scenery. Very different to the more typical European new launch drive locations.

I get the same, the car gets a lot of attention, all of it positive.
