    Someone needs to tell BMW that "flat" paint jobs are out as they are showing a matte silver car at the SEMA show...I forget which model off hand.

    This? M3, Clarkson didn't seem too thrilled with it.

    I like Rob's Tahoe though, but he did it right......I dunno, maybe because I just like Rob over Bieber by a HUGE margin. I personally like his Denali better, that just looked good with everything black.

    My dad makes fun of all this because my area is very mennonite populated, and their cars are all black, no chorme or color, they were doing it for yeeeeaaaarrrrssss haha

    He's the guy who meets you in a dark alley while pointing a gun at you.

    Does this mean that "black edition" cars are done too? Mercedes started that trend (at least, they're the first one that I took notice of) but now everyone seems to be coming up with one, and many of them aren't even black. You can even get a Mazda 2 Black Edition (in the UK at least). AMD (computer chip people) even have Black Edition processors. I just don't get it.
