No matter what anyone says, black is always the new black. It's the absence of color and therefore the definition of cool. Color palettes are constantly evolving (or devolving) in the automotive world, but black is always there. It can be sporty. It can be luxurious. It can be tough. It's at home on a Rolls Royce, a Chevy Yukon and a B-2 Spirit. At Geneva we had the matte black Bullit Black Arrow, the glossy black Ferrari 612 Scaglietti and the, well, black Infiniti FX50. All of them better than the Easter-on-acid Fab Benzes.

Black even made my old 94 Escort hatch look somewhat respectable. We put it to you, dear commenters, what car looks best in black?
