Especially when it’s on my B9 allroad :)

That is all.

Good work on not getting silver or white, pretty much the only A4 colors I see in the wild.

That thing is pants-messingly gorgeous.

I read that as “I heart Ad Blue” for a moment.

I was there too!

Yeah, I can’t really do black, silver, gray or white on an Audi (unless if it’s Suzuka Gray on an B7 RS 4 or an R8, or Glacier White A3 Sportback). This is my third blue Audi and I’m pretty sure when it comes time to my next one, it will also be blue :)

Hahaha, I totally can see that

Hey-hey there! Love the darkened mood of the photo :)

Thanks! I was speechless when I saw it for the first time in person. Auto show photos couldn’t do Ara Blue on an allroad justice.

If only it were lower and fully painted.

Very nice car.

I thought Allroads were based on the A4, but this looks a lot larger.

Haha, thanks. I went to town with the contrast a bit.

That would be called an Avant and I prefer the allroad look.

Yeah, there definitely are times where it really befits the subject. I went nearly all out with this one...

Well ok then.

The first Audi allroad that the US got was the C5 A6-based allroad, which had the air suspension. The Q7 basically killed off the allroad for the US, but the A6-based allroad lived on in the rest of the world.

The B8 A4 bright on the A4-based allroad and we didn’t get that until the B8.5 facelift happened.

The B9 A4 grew slightly over the B8/B8.5 and definitely looks heftier. That said, parked next to a current Outback, the B9 A4 allroad looks small :D

I would absolutely love an RS 4 Avant, but there’s a difference between the RS 4's flared fenders and the allroad’s fenders. I’ve been photos of an Ara Blue full-paint allroad at one of the auto shows and it didn’t do anything for me. To each their own.

I have a somewhat-irrational dislike of all Subaru Outbacktified cars.

(My wife drives an Impreza hatchback, and she thankfully chose it over the Crosstrek all on her own. In her words, “what’s all that extra black plastic crap stuck on that one for?”)

My irrational-dislike is overly done chromed bits (outside *and* in), murdered out, or fully plasti-dipped and/or full satin wrapped cars.

I had always thought they were A4s, but I guess I’ve learned something today. In any case, it’s a gorgeous blue. I’d have a hard time picking between this and the awesome blue Fiesta ST someone else has on Oppo (I forget who it was).

Needs bigger wheels but I like it. And hey man...how you been?

Heh... Wheels are something I’ll probably look at in a couple of years. Gotta figure out which ones would look good on there and if I might tweak the suspension along with it. That said, I think exhaust might be first.

Can’t say things are bad. Work is work and been a bigger source of headaches and need for more and more caffeine :)
