Just ordered 2011 S4 with black and black Silk Napa, just like my 04. Not sure how the Alacantra will hold up over the years, but also prefer the black/black effect. Also, the Silk Napa seats are completely different construction than the stock seats that come with it. My $.02.

If you can, check out a 4-5 year old car with alcantara before you decide.
I don't find it wears well.

So, all around? All black silk nappa leather.
It's alcantara, not suede. Anyway, that is what I have. If I were to go with a black exterior I would lean towards the black/silver nappa.

I quite like the mustang brown, I think the brown/black combo does complement the vehicle very well. All in good taste.

Look around you, Brown is on the rebound in all facets of contemporary culture, not meaning it's just a fad. But it is not well represented on the Build Your S4 feature @ audi.ca, so don't go by that, you MUST see it in real life or through a very good camera lens at the least. Black on black is truly classic, but rather plain for me.

Make sure you lay your eyes on whatever option you are seriously considering before you go with it. Otherwise, you may regret it.

I have a 2010 S4, Silver with the black on red interior. I was worried at first before the car arrived I would hate it, but love it. A little flashy, but a nice touch

alcantara is actually a brand name of a fabric, and that fabric is fake suede. There are a few other fake suede fabrics out there. Alcantara is like 'Kleenex'. It's not a thing...it's a brand name that makes a thing.
