No experience to compare it to the coupe.

Purchased a matte grey GTC last weekend, and have put about 900 miles on it. It's an excellent car. Perhaps my only regret is the matte paint. I didn't realize you can't take matte finished cars through normal car washes, and I am too damn lazy to wash it by hand. Working on a plan B. Until then, I will swing by the dealership when it needs to be cleaned off.

I thought long and hard about the magno grey for the GTC Coupe I ordered, but eventually settled on metallic black. I don't mind the hand washing, since I wash mine anyway to avoid swirls. Also, with the car as wide as it is, I would be worried about scraping up the rims in a commercial wash. Here was my decision process...
Pros
Cons
Pros
- Striking when you first see it. It makes the car look intimidating.
- Evokes the colors used in F1 cars (as far as I can tell by watching on TV).
Cons
- Matte paints are very hard to keep new looking, stain easily with bird droppings and bugs, picks up swirls easily, etc.
- Even with the right PPF, it's still hard to keep up.
- Any imperfections in the paint can only be fixed by re-painting the entire panel. They cannot be polished out.
- Whenever I see a matte paint it is usually a young person driving it, so at 52 maybe it's not really acting my age.
- I was worried I would be sick of it after a few months and I plan on keeping the car for a few years.
- The curves of the GTC, especially the wide rear fenders, don't pop as much with magno as they do with metallic. Part of why I waited for the GTC is that I really like the look of the wider rear stance.

I really wonder why the roadster isn’t selling as well. Love the coupe but am thinking that the roadster will replace our SL.
But then who cares, it’ll be easier to negotiate a better deal

Congratulations on the car and the deal! From everything I’ve read the convertible is nearly as stiff as the coupe, and, at least for me, the gtc represents a terrific evolution of the gt series.

I think the convert is beautiful but it's too damn hot in So Cal. to do much top down cruising and after a few visits to the dermatologist I decided it had to be the coup.
But the convert is sweet..

I love the verts.. a vert on track is fun.. the sounds, the wind and smells are great..
Spend a lot of time on the PCH John? Or is it crowded?
