Any red lovers?

actually you guys and gals should check out the white A3 with the Open Sky options.
I walked into the dealership today to have another look at the A3, and my jaw dropped.
Most of the roof is tinted glass, with just a black-painted section at the back, and the contrast was just STUNNING

Red does not mean tickets. There was a time when that was true. Not anymore. This coming from an inside source.
I like the red A3, they're not too common IMO.

regardless of what generation of cars we're talking about, red has always been under-represented on the road. We're not talking about a horse race to see which gets the most tickets, but about attracting uneccessary attention from the popo. It's enough to say if you're a family in a red family sedan with toys and crap on the back window, you wouldn't have to worry like 16y.o. joe flatfoot in his red mustang.
An interesting aside about Silver, it is statistically the most dangerous color for traffic accidents because of the way it blends in with the road and city environment.

Brodieone, how do you know about more tickets no longer being true? It looks like my wife is leaning towards the red one, and really its her car so whatever is cool with me. However do you think
the red might make it more "steal'able" ? That is to say do think it might attract "negative" attention? I was thinking about that today but not really sure?

Duc_748 - Basically a friend in the police department and also insurance company both told me the same thing about red equalling more tickets. It really depends on how you are driving. As far as stealable, I don't know but I can't imagine someone would steal a red car, they are so easily spotted if being looked for I would assume.

Yeah, I really like the contrast between the Open Sky with both the red and white. Lava Grey was a great choice initially, because it is a really cool color. Problem is that over the last two years that seems to be the major color choice for the A3. I saw 5 different Lava Grey A3's over the last two days. I was looking to be unique. Oh well...again!
Cheers!

Other then the fact that I have never seen another A3 other then mine and on the car lot in person (its like no one drives these around the riverside area, lots of A4's though). I would say sprint blue might be the rarest of colors. I don't seem many on the forums. Tons of white and grey with a few red and blacks.

Just to add to my confusion....I am not sure I can make the Ti package work with the amount I would like to spend a month, still thinking about it, but here is choice C
S-line & Open Sky, Lava Grey. This is my budget choice (well if you can call it that), more no frills, but it would still be a great ride. Comes out to $27 a month less than having
the Ti package included, does not seem like a huge amount, but it all adds up.

RE: Any red lovers?
Whatever happened to 'moro blue'? Did they cut that color after 2006? I haven't seen any other A3's with that color either on the road or posted. Does anyone else out there have that color? And yes - I like that red with open sky. But, my first choice was lava grey since I couldn't stand having a black vehicle during the winters here. But in order to get the end of model year pricing with theoptions I wanted - the onlycolor choices I had were between moro blue and a lighter blue.Didn't like the lighter blue - too close to "Carolinablue" for my taste.
