08 G37 Athens Blue... not a new color??
Is this the same exact AB used on the 05 & 06 G35 coupes? Am I correct that Lakeshore was the blue for 07?
The reason I'm asking is because I don't recall ever seeing this color until now. Did I miss it during those two years? I was on the G35 forum today where I surprisingly saw AB on 05 & 06 coupes. I actually thought it was an all new color for 08. Normally they don't bring back a color. Don't they usually change the name for the new year?
Regardless, its a great color! I wouldn't think it would be so rare that I never saw one before now. Interesting.....

Geez, I didn't know how rare it would be. Grubbs Infiniti in Dallas has 61 G37 coupes and only ONE is AB. I just want to see one in person. It may take a while at this rate. hehe

AB is an amazing color on the Coupe. Brian (AthensBlueG) came up from Boston and stayed with me for a couple of days before our roadtrip and it was the first time I ever saw AB in person. I was amazed at how incredible this color was on the Coupe. If I was in the market for the Coupe, this would definitely be one of my top choices.

Those are two BEAUTIFUL cars. I love the factory rims on the coupe. I'd love to find something similar for my G37 in 19".
I know nothing about offsets, so I'm a little hesitant to make a move.

Garnet: Those are great pics. Wow, how did I miss that luscious AB in my many travels. BTW, your sedan color is BEAUTIFUL too, might I add. Mmmm....mmmmm...
[Matt: I think you're right... For a sports car, it is definitely a HOT color. I agree, very under-rated, especially since you say it's been around now for 3 yrs. Geeeezzz.....

Hahaha, yeah he really seems to get around pretty well. Brian stayed a couple of nights at my house the 1st of July and then we headed out for our Quebec City G35 Road trip.

I hear this too, maybe that's why not many sold, no one can see it in person if they're not in the showroom long enough. For the G37, I have seen every color in person except the AB ... still waiting.
