Debating on color, inputs please
#31
I'm torn between Platinum Graphite and Black. It's like choosing between a beautiful blond and a gorgeous brunette. Since I can't afford a "threesome", this will be a tough choice for me.
My 04 G is Diamond Graphite and it hides dirt, even bird droppings well. Black would be a nice change from that.... but it would also be kinda cool to keep things the same color and only change the car itself.
PG would show the subtle lines of the car better but since I like the overall shape but am less sure of the subtle lines, maybe OB would be better to bury the lines but keep the overall shape distinct. Also, the grill and headlights look great on a black car (but I'll have to do something about that orange lamp segment).
I'll just wait until I see the two colors in person. I figure I'll know which is for me once I see them. I also haven't ruled out that purple-tinged amethyst graphite. It might look cool in different light, and it would make my car far less common among the G's I'm sure.

I feel your pain... I started off thinking I would get red for sure (my first new car was red so it has some sentimental value plus it looks awesome when clean) but a few of my friends said bad things about red ... (its a girl color, or its for people that want attention)
So then I was thinking about blue slate, but in some light it has kind of a purple tint.... then I saw the white photos and wanted white.
Now im considering diamond graphite and black. LOL... i think it would be easier if i could see the car in person with these colors

Speaking of colors... what is the color of the car on the Infiniti site and all the other press photos and the initial test photos? Is it diamond graphite? Why do they look so different from the sedan in diamond graphite?

I'm still a' goin' for IP on the G37, and here in Coastal Georgia I think I'll be worrying more about FREE Deposits from Brown Pelicans, Herring Gulls, White Egrets and the infamous 'Great Blue Heron,' perhaps the most insidious Giant Pooper of them all!

I'm going to disagree on the Blue Heron statement. Everyone knows a sick, pollution-digesting, new york city pigeon is the worst offender. That stuff can burn through anything.

Guys thanks for all your help.... Owning the Black G35 at the moment, keeping it clean, sone chips (Front bumper is mess). Blue slate is a different color, so keeping it in mind... The IP, with 15% tints, and nice set of volks... uumm.. nice tints and rims, i know make any car good.. But appreciate everyone's feedback. Thanks.
