Nice…I could go for that one.

 

Yikes on that shade of green but I too could go for one.

 

Your wife might even like the seat.

 

Looks like it could use a good rubbing compound to bring out the shine in that paint.

I will admit, I've never been a fan of the flat finish.

 

I'd go for the new SL over the GT, I think it looks better now.

Could always try the other Germans, they make convertibles as well.

 

I know a fellow with a Mercedes that has the matte paint finish on it. I think it looks okay, but I prefer my cars to be as shiny as possible. I always wanted to run my hand over the paint to feel it, expecting it to have a non-smooth feel and I always thought stains like bird poop might be harder to remove. I was able to do that the other day and it felt surprisingly smooth and slippery to me. It looks less smooth than it is I guess , and likely has plenty of protection from the elements.

 

I have been told by the Mercedes dealer that you have to be somewhat mindful of washing and cleaning the matte finish cars. It is possible to create a "shine" from polishing that will detract from the dull finish.

 

Yeah who would want a shiny car
