    Dear RXBG,

    Pantherblack crystall effect is the first color to have a day/night value. Under daylight you get a sparcling effect (Xirallic by BASF) while you see a color gradient (Colorstream by BASF) during shaded light. The color gives you a "alive" feeling as it turns out in differet ways, depending on angle, light and reflection values. I only saw a Q5 carrying that color and i have to admit, looks sharp.

    To best of my knowledge this Q5 is shown at the AMI as well.

    would this color be a problem with swirl marks like brilliant black, or easier to take care of, like phantom black? plz post pic if you can.

    I've always loved the Xirallic pearls ever since they hit the market, can't wait to see what this added element looks like in person.
