I'm struggling to determine whether you have genuine mental health issues Tx or you're taking the pis*.
Never in my life have I seen anyone on a car forum act as childish as you are in relation to a paint colour. You are so defensive over Nardo, why? Because you have a Nardo car, you think it's the dogs danglies, I have appeared with an alternative opinion and you throw your toys out the pram as a result.
If owners are leaving this forum, it's got to be down to putting up with halfwits like you who tells them that their opinion is nonsense. It's actually embarrassing for you, give yourself a shake.
Fact of the matter is, Nardo is a solid colour, it's a No Cost option. It's not deep, it's flat and it doesn't shine and glow like pearl/Crystal paints do. These are all facts.
As for the marmite comment, it's exactly that. You go over to the RS6 forums and your childish attitude about Nardo would see you banned. They're a grown up bunch over there. Hardly anyone chooses Nardo on the RS6 as they believe it cheapens the look of their expensive car. It's a love or hate colour. I have spoken with many owners who do not get the colour and many people who do not even drive or have an interest in cars that have made comments about it being a base coat primer etc. These are all opinions out there, not shared by myself actually. I do get Nardo, I said it needs the black pack look to finish it off. 50% of the time I like it. 50% of the time I don't.
Couldn't be any simpler really. The original poster asked about spec and what may or may not be troublesome later on down the line for resale. Certainly in the RS6 circle, Nardo cars are not selling as well as the rest. In the RS3 circle, it's a younger crowd. Fast hatchbacks at the end of the day. I see the Saloon as a little more grown up and as a result I think it would suit a nicer deeper shall I say it classier colour. That's my opinion.
You can throw your toys out your pram all you like but you're not going to change it or influence it. I have a different view to you, get over it, move on, relax. It's the colour of paint ***.
akeithj, apologies for the silly thread hijack, I won't respond to him again, he clearly has issues.
Yes, love the 6, I don't think there's a better car on the road in all honesty. It's the ultimate all rounder.
I seen Ara on an R8 in the showroom and loved it hence why it was my next choice but also considering just keeping it safe and going Panther black too. The joys of ordering a new car haha.
Tx, instead of ruining the chaps thread with your temper tantrums, just send me a PM, I'll send you my number and you can give me a bell if you like.
Cheers,
