Went In To Buy Yellow And Ended Up With Nordic Green. I Love It. Some People Think Its Black And Others A Dark Blue But Up Close The Green Really Comes Out! Go Green!

I had the choice of Yellow or Nordic Green. I knew the Yellow would get way to many speeding tickets, the Green is growing on me every day as it does change colors in the different ligh conditions. I am loading it up in the next few weeks! It is going to look awsome.

Every color looks good. I really wanted the red/black interior, and that would have necessitated either a Red or Black, but that Titanium with a black interior and window tints was just too nice to pass up...

I like red from a distance but it looks too much like a bass boat up close. I bought brilliant black but I would have bought Nordic green if they made them with the black/chapparal leather. That's a unique color!

Umm...they do make them with black/chapparal. That's what I have, and the combo is unbeatable. The colors really do change depending on lighting, however, it's almost as hard to keep clean as the black. I really dig the Gray also; other colors are nice, just not for me. My original choice was the blue, but when I saw it in person, it was a little too bright for me.

I originally wanted blue, but when I saw a velocity red with the red/ Black inside it was all over. I had to have that interior. No regrets whatsoever, I love the velocity red paint.

In my opinion, the yellow looks THE BEST on the 8. But I don't think I would get it (soon I won't be able to, new anyway) just because I'd be too self-conscious about the color. But it is the best-looking color in my opinion.

Black would be the next best thing, although it gets dirty quick.

I don't have an RX (although I might in the coming while) but I'd list the colours like this:

Blue is by far the nicest, IMO althought twotone seats would've been nice
Titanium in second
Red is third

The rest I don't hate but don't like either.

Very happy with my silver. Black was the 2nd choice, but I've had one too many black cars, and I am tired of stressing over swirl marks. My last car was black, and washing this silver one is so refreshing.

Wanted Green, but it was hard to find with the options I wanted, I got my options and Ti was my second choice.

I was going to get the arrest me red, but my wife convinced me to get the titanium grey. I still drool over that color and yearn for the red and black leather seats.

I was trying to get a titanium gray at first. But the dealer kept saying that was the most wanted color. So they wouldn't cut me a break. So I went with the silver...and I'm glad I did. No regrets!!

Red...red....red. No regrets...with the black/red leather interior....my oh my.

But....if I HAD to pick another color...I probably would go for the yellow (1st year color, does look nice coming at you).

Maybe not yellow.....red red red.

Funny how much this came in to play when I was buyin ....

I started out thinking red was it.

Then I saw a Ti grey in the showroom --- very cool.

Then it hit me when I saw the silver, with it's wheels and interior all synergistically aligned ... and that was it.

I love my silver :D

Cheers,
Oranje

Infiniti has a good ad out ... I know I'll get flamed but here it is...

"If fast were a color it would be much more opinionated than blue. It may think about being black but demand more spirit. It would be more aggressive than green and be less cautious than yellow. If fast were a color it would be Red." :p

If Pearl White or Montego Blue were options then I might have gotten one of them.
Red with Red leather great combo!!

In Yo' face YELLOW!

My friends laughed when they heard I was getting YELLOW. But then they saw it, and agreed that it is probably the coolest color. It's also quite unique.

I researched the car for years and followed the progress to the states all the time wanting Yellow. I saw one in Memphis and wanted to buy it but I had just bought a truck and my wife gave me the look, you know what I mean!

We wheeled and dealed on November 14, 2003 and got a Yellow 8 from 56 miles away brought to our local dealer and I have never wanted another color, except for Titanium for about ten minutes.

I will be looking for a Yellow Corvette in the future, and a Yellow Porsche Turbo, and a Yellow 7, and a Yellow NSX, a Red 65 Mustang, a Red 69 Camaro, a Green Charger 500........okay I'll stop. But I love Yellow sports cars, and I love cars in general. I couldn't have enough cars. Did I mention a Chrome 65 Shelby Cobra Replica? I will have sweet dreams tonight!
