God help whoever wants to keep that looking clean. The thing with a matte black finish like that is, because of the way it diffuses light, it will show every single tiny mar or imperfection. As beautiful as it looks clean, it looks horrible if it's chipped, nicked, dented, scratched, etc.

This is the first matte-black car I've ever liked... really, really hot.

Never really liked wagons, but audi's really stand out from the crowd in this respect. Beautiful looking car... slap some tints on there, and it will be 11+ stealth factor.

Maybe it's the matte black, but the wheels look really concave
