Cool, it looks like a bad Poser model.

With each Escalade that's taken off the roads and relegated to show car duty, the world becomes a better place.

For an Escalade, it's not bad. Wheels're dumb, tho.

I actually like it.. looks almost cartoon-like, very simple and clean. Looks like robocop wasn't too far off, cars of the future WILL be flat grey :-)

I'm also an anti-bling guy, but matte isn't the solution!

I'd be more impressed if this truck was painted gunmetal with black wheels.

I also like how MTX is now blatantly ripping off the Kicker L7 square subwoofer design. What has happened to the car audio industry?!?

It makes one deliberate internally: if something shiny makes the sound "bling", what the heck kinda sound, if any, does something flat or matte make? Help me out here.

Yeah, it looks like a marker-drawing. It actually is a neat effect, and one worth commending. Just not repeating.

I love the matte finish. Currently finishing up matte-ing and 85 4Runner. Wonder how they did the headlights.

To me it looks like those full size clay models companies produce when they want to show off a car, but have enough of the actual vehicles to do so.

Well, this car DOES have its advantages. For instance, the matte paint is a definate anti-radar capabilities in that it absorbs rather than reflects the beam. Not sure how it would affect LIDAR though. In any case, that's irrelevant because the stupid speakers produce enough reverse thrust that this thing will be relegated to doing 12 thumping miles an hour.

Am I the only person who got excited when I saw MTX, only to be let down when I read "MTX audio?" Escalade with three pedals would be badass.

Apparently they had a special on chalkboard paint at Lowe's.

I like matte-finish cars (either by chemistry or by age), and it's unfortunate that the look is getting trendier by the second.

I remember when you could buy a primered mustang for like $1500 and you were considered good-ole white trash. Now you're an prudent investor with very avant-garde tastes.

I actually think it looks pretty sweet. I agree with Dr. Spaceman, it almost looks like it is a cel-shaded animation but in real life. badass.

Those pictures look like they came from a comic book. I mean, I know that that's a real, 3d car, but my eyes don't believe it. Slightly offputting effect going on there.

Park it next to your camo'd Bentley, while sporting one of those lame mesh trucker hats.

Matte paint is so 2005.

Still don't like these, but this looks better than the polished up Escalade. Get rid of the stereo, add cherry bombs, supercharger, and a tasteful flame job and this would be pretty cool.

But African warlords and Middle-Eastern oil magnates have to have SOME culture to aspire to. As best as I can tell, it's American Hip-Hop these days.
