I think the SLR one is my all time favorite. That phantom is an extreme fail in my books.

I'm only a fan of the Porsches in this color, and not the Carrera GT either. On everything else, I think it just looks silly.

I highly doubt matte will ever go out of style...its a single color and single colors rarely go out of style.

Point being here is this, matte black makes the car look utilitarian, stealth and cutting edge. Flat makes it look cheap. There is a difference and if you dont see it keep driving your leased ES

how does 1 clean a flat black car, does it scratch and swirl like a metallic black car, I guess the outer most surface is just black paint, do you use special wax
