It is different for sure. Cleaning and protecting the paint would present major challenges unless there is some kind of "wonder product" made just for matte finishes. Not to mention the additional cost. I'm pretty sure that it will cost more than a standard finish. I guess the question is "How much would you be willing to pay?"

Mine is also Black on Black.
I had Alpine White on order, but after looking at the deep black paint, I changed just prior to the order going final!
I'm three weeks from pick up and cannot wait.

It is a Great car to drive and all around exciting If you can, you should try to test drive one. My multiple test drives, I was allowed to do almost anything ( M mode shifting) which you won't able to do initially when you get your car until the 1K miles

To all you military personel in Germany. We have been going back and forth about the new MSRP and a military discount. I have not been able to get into "build your own" for over a week until today. Please go into Torpedo garage US Military sales and the AMG C63 price list shows normal state side price with a military discount of 8% across the board!!
I got my car today. You'll love it!

Awesome. Thanks, Matt. How are the tires in this cold weather? I will have a 300km drive home after P/U and might just take my winter wheels and tires with me to Sindelfingen. Plus it will be two weeks closer to Winter. Do you think it is worth the effort?

well, the rain made it a little tail happy when i got on it, but the cold wasn't really a big deal today. normally 45+. I'm not sure about your trip back. I think you'll have to play it by ear. I'm gonna put my snow tires on this weekend.
