Who has the best black?
I been looking at different models and makes lately and trying to figure out which company puts out the best looking black car. I think I have made up my mind on who I think is the best, but I wanted to get everyone else's opinion.
of this list, whose black paint do you like the best?
how would you rank them in order from best to worst?
Lexus
Infiniti
Acura
Mercedes-Benz
BMW
Audi
Jaguar
Cadillac
Lincoln
edit: you can select more than one make in the poll, if you can't decide on just one.

Maybe it's because of all the chrome accents, or maybe because the cars are more curvacious and bulbous -- Jaguars in black are very sleek and sexy. You can see the cars' definition and body lines through its shine. It almost becomes like a limo...
Lexus on the other hand creates beautiful colors that are black at night, but another dark color by day. Think of the Twilight Amethyst Pearl, Blue Onyx Mica, or Cypress Pearl. Also, you gotta love the new Black Diamond color of the ES Special Edition.

However, individual cars can vary, too. The new 2006 Lexus GS and the Cadillac STS, IMO, both have superb paintwork.......better than the rest of their respective lines.

i think that since lexus is more luxury oriented than sport, black looks best in all their cars especially in the LS,ES,GS,RX,GX, but lighter shades will i think go better with the SC,LX,and IS. red is a very sporty color for the SC and IS. the LX i think should just stick to lighter shades, not saying i dont think a black LX is attractive, but if i had a choice i'll pick gold or white

I think maybe he means who takes black to the next level. Anyone can do a Jet Black, but the Sapphire Black and Carbon Black of BMW really take it to the next level IMHO.

202 Black Onyx owns ALL 
Ok so maybe I'm a lil biased here 
I've liked the BMW Black metallic (I forgot the name of it, my neighbour has it on his 3-Series) but the black used on Lexus product always makes me double look lol

Now...as far as the quality of the paint job itself, there are noticible differences from one manufacturer to the next. Among the companies on this list and the general QUALITY of their paint jobs, I would rate it Audi, M-B, Lexus, Acura, BMW, Jaguar, Infiniti, Cadillac, and Lincoln....in that order.
