Default First Test Drive In The Z (what colour?)

Hi there, Ive just had my first test drive in the Z and thought it was absolutely amazing. I was going to buy one last year but with moving house I havnt had time. Im going back tomorow to order one all been well but im just unsure on one thing, the colour. Im stuck between Le Mans Sunset and Gun Metal Grey. The salesman explained that the sunset would get boring after a while and that i should go for the gun metal but i was not going to make a quick decision over a £30,000 car. So the question, what do u think and why? I no it should be up to me but i honestly cant make my mind up.

Personally I like black, white, and shades of grey.

If I have only those 2 to choose from, I'd go with LeMans Sunset. Great color, very eye catching, and maybe because the salesman doesn't want me to get!

This isn't a question you should be asking someone else. Get what you like and you won't be disappointed.

Exactly, kinda like wife hunting, choose what you want, not what some pimp wants you to have!

If you really have your heart set on the Lemans, don't let what he said get to you. If you keep thinking about it you'll probably trick your mind into thinking that you like it more, and once you have it, you'll be disappointed.

Both are good colours. If my dealer didn't have the Lemans Sunset, the next colour on my list would have been silverstone. The lighter silver option looked like so many other silver car out there that I was afraid I would blend in.

I've had nothing but good comments about the Lemans Sunset. Even my friend who tried to convince me not to get the colour changed his mind after he saw it in person. It's definately an attention getter, but I'm pretty outgoing so I am okay with the attention.

But selfishly, I want you to get the gun metal grey because I don't want so many Lemans Sunset cars out there More exclusivity!

Grey/silvers are to "common" for my personal choice so I'd go with LS.

Thanks for all of your comments and I think at he end of the day it has to be Le Mans. Like chingwithbling said I think the salesmans opinion has influenced mine but if I realy dig down deep it has to be Le Mans. Sorry ZlleH but i have to. Thanks again.

I love color threads.
There is only one color that looks good on the Z.


Silverstone!
