I don't understand the matte black trend going on right now. It looks awful in my eyes and I will always look at it as a car some moron spray painted black primer on.

I think that color would have looked better in the N-Ring version. Gives it that serious race car look.

U can order the N-Edition with matte black. I think they did away with the 3 color scheme for the N-Edition as well, if I heard correctly.
