It's amazing the colors the TT pulls off a person would never think of... but i do like it best on the vantage, but AM calls it "glacier blue"

Need to see this color in person, I think it looks great. A little darker than Polar blue and polar looked killer with sea blue interior. I tend to like interiors one solid color rather than 2 tone. Here is mine (straight black, no deviated stitching).

Looks great, but unless they find a woman buyer, it's going to be very hard to sell. Now that being said, if they couldn't get rid of it, they can give it to me and I'm happy to put on some blacked out GT3 wheels and maybe throw some GT3 RS type script that says "Turbo" in black along the sides. I think that would masculinitize it a bit, enough for me to drive it with a smile anyway.

I like it a lot - it looks very similar to the Avus Silver on my RS4. Mine might be a little less blue, but it's close. And I am far from feminine....

I like them both but if I had to choose it would be Fountain Blue. Jason took some great photos of that color in Germany visiting the factory.
