I've always considered metallic blacks (like basalt) to be for big luxo-cruisers... They look dynamite on a 7-series or S-Class or S8, or even Cayenne... But on a Porsche sports car it's kind of a non-fit to me. When people see a black sports car, they expect a pure infinite buried-alive serious black, and the Basalt just confuses, as if the car's covered in dust or something...
If I was going for a big sedan, in a dark color, I'd love a metallic black...
But on a sports car, any sports car, I want it to look as pure and glistening as ink.
I would disagree. If you keep the car clean (you don't have to wash the basalt black as often as a regular black), it shows quite well and doesn't look as dusty as your basic black, even in lighting conditions that would tend to show more dirt.
I'm still glad that I chose the basalt black optional color, even after 18 months of ownership.
