Market Find: New Audi exclusive Nogaro Blue SQ7 in Texas
Finding a sought-after Audi exclusive build in new car inventory is a bit of a Hot Wheels Treasure Hunt for big kids.

Acquired Taste Market Find: Estoril Blue Audi S7 with Avantgarde Interior Choice
When it comes to Audi exclusive builds for the USA, cars with special exterior paint are most likely to be encountered. Special interiors are rare, and extravagantly custom interiors are even rarer. Take for example this Estoril Blue S7 Sportback, looking pretty normal on the outside. Open a door and climb inside though, and you'll find a multi-tone interior likely very specifically made for the car's original owner.
