Congrats on your order. Sounds like a great combination. Hopefully the wait will be short. Now comes on the mod buying to get ready for the new arrival.

Congratulations. I have a similar combo but a 2005. The silver with the transparent top look great together. IMO

what took you so long. i got the silver a6 with the transparent roof and the gray painted wheels. i really like that combination although you wont stand out in a crowd as much as if you had one of those bright colored ones(red,yellow etc.). got the base 1lt but i'll tell you what, this car is everything i thought it would be and more. personally i wont have to ever do anything to this car besides put gas in it and basic maintenance but may tweak it a little over the years for a change of pace. you are going to love this car from day one.
