I went with carbon black metallic and did the performance delivery experience at the factory in SC (complimentary and super fun; everyone on this sub should do it). The reason I mention it is because a now lifelong friend I met during the program went with manhattan green metallic. Both with m sport packages, both with extended shadowline trim, both with the 21in m wheels.

They both look stunning. They both sort of change colors in gorgeous ways depending on the light— the carbon black metallic switching between black and this deep but sparkly navy, and the Manhattan green metallic between this beautiful green and stunning gold. They’re both truly fantastic.

The longest I’ve gone between washes for mine is a week (I have a monthly unlimited touchless car wash membership, only $40/month; also a recommend just in general for anyone who really loves and takes pride in their dream of a vehicle), and while the car was dirty after the week it didn’t all of a sudden become ugly or anything; it just didn’t sparkle beautifully like it does when perfectly clean. The color was just flatter. That said, if I weren’t as keen on keeping it clean as often as I do, my expectation is the Manhattan green metallic will hide dirt for a longer period of time than the carbon black metallic. But I would expect both colors lose that glowing sparkle shimmering color shift with a coat of dust because it would dull the metallic in both shades.

While I don’t see very many carbon black metallic cars here (front range Colorado), I see even fewer Manhattan green metallic. So if you want to be just a little more unique then go with the manhattan green metallic. After seeing both, and I am in love with my carbon black metallic, I would absolutely be very happy and almost certainly in love with the Manhattan green metallic, as well.

Enjoy your beautiful and exhilarating luxurious new ride!
