This was my 2011. I now have a 2014 in Pearl White (anticipating less maintenance). Loved the Black Cherry when it was clean and waxed, but in order to get that deep, rich, dark cherry color, you needed some good depth, which meant well-polished paint and a good coat of a good quality carnauba. If there's too much paint swirling or micr-marring, or if the wax was getting thin then the color would tend more toward the red or purple.
