Default New allocation in Long Island

My dealer received one additional allocation and I am next on the list! All set for a February build includes LWB. Wanted dark blue metallic, but not available for builds after 12/12/15. My dealer is seeing if I can get a similar dark blue that is used on 911's. If not will go with GT Silver.

Which dealer - I'm about to pick up mine from Roslyn. They seem like good folks so far.

Southampton. Have my Audi serviced there (Porsche/Audi dealer). They do a great job.

Glad the allocation came around so quickly. I had gone to the dealer two weeks ago to buy a GT4 that Southampton had only to find out that someone had called in and put a deposit down before I got there (live and learn). This works out better anyway since the car they had was black metallic with yellow stitching and ceramic brakes all of which were not my first choices.

The DBM is being replaced with Midnight Blue Metallic - one of my all time favorites. Slightly darker and even richer in appearance.

Midnight Blue Metallic is a great color! I'd rather pick that over Deep Blue Metallic, but that's me

Looked at the Midnight Blue Metallic sample at the dealership and I agree I would rather have that than DBM.

Midnight Blue is a classic. With the midyear changeover, both colors are going to be quite rare for the GT4.

Midnight Blue Metallic is not my cup of tea, way too dark almost black, and a high maintenance color.
Will show swirls, scratches, dust and dirt way too easy.
I would rather be driving my car than detailing it.
Just my opinion.

My 987 was Midnight Blue. Great color.
