Default I have to give it up to Atomic Silver RC

I'll have to admit I'm not a big fan of the RC, which is why I chose an S5, but I saw two Atomic Silver RC's today and they both looked fantastic in that color. Almost made me want to check one out.

To anyone who owns one, nice car!

Thanks! I just picked up my Atomic Silver last week. Really liked the Infrared and USB 2.0 also. Now that I have the 2 door sports coupe bug I plan to check out Porsche and Audi next, if my lottery ticket hits..lol.

The Audi S5 is a safe looking car. It's a little boring design wise IMO. But to a certain mature audience I am sure it appeals to. German cars are very conservative in design. The 2017 re-designed A5 is just that as well.

I test drove the Porsche Cayman, BMW 4, Audi A5, Mercedes C coupe and the RC. I went ahead and placed my custom order for the Infra Red RC 350 AWD 2 months ago and I am patiently waiting for delivery. That was the car for me. Chic inside and out and with a refined Lexus Luxury ride.

My GS is atomic silver and I love it. Looks great on everything, but I find it suits the RC lines particularly well.

The silver looks nice, but wait until you see the RC in molten pearl, infrared red, or ultrasonic blue mica 2.0 maybe it's too flashy for you though based on your previous car colors

I've seen the RC in Infrared. Stunning color, but yes, just not my taste.

I have the RC in Molten Pearl/Status Grey and yes it's a little flashy but it's a killer color combo that provides great contrast.

It's a fantastic color...I notice they use it on all the models (I think) but it looks best on the RC!

I have a little bit of buyer's remorse everytime I see a clean atomic silver RC. That color shows off the contours and curves of the RC so much better than ultra white.

Yea the new silver is really nice. Even on the new toyotas it looks good. I saw a camry the other day and thought it looked great too even tho I know its a diff silver. As for it being better than ultra white...maybe lol....but def not the Starfire Pearl white! :P
