Thumbs down Help I'm Stuck!

I can't decide...I am so torn between a 06 Enthusiast in Daytona Blue, PPW, Silverstone, and Interlagos...What are the pro's and con's of each color. Blue is my favorite color but I am scared I would/could get sick of it. Ppw looks amazing up close but is kinda blah from far away...Silverstone makes the Z's look really really expensive and really classy and clean...and the interlagos isnt my favorite mix of two colors but is definately different!

Ok, since you asked, here's my opinion:

Can't go wrong with Silverstone, beautiful color, but way too many silver Zs in the world.

I love the way Daytona Blue looks, but I couldn't own one. Too blue for me.

PPW use to be my favorite...my last Z was PPW, as a tribute to the wite 240Z I drove all through high school. I really loved it, but in bright sunlight the PPW hides some of the sexy lines of the Z. I never really noticed this when I had it, but now that I have the LS I do.

If you want to be unique, go with the Interlagos Fire, since it is the special color for '06.


In the end, it's your car, so you have to decide what makes you happiest. If you really like the DB, get it. I was scared I'd get sick of LS when I bought it, but the longer I have it, the more I love the color.

I got compliments on the DB daily which I just changed b/c I wanted to be way different and the whole car needed to be painted.

I love Interlagos... Will go for black though, even with the pain of keeping it clean.

I concur about the PPW.

The blue looks cool to me too but I didn't get it because I thought that I might get tired of it and that it's not as classy of a color if you just want to go out for a nice dinner w/ your girl or a wedding, it looks kind of immature.

Interlagos is both a interesting and classy color to me.

You can't go wrong with the SS but I prefer the CS all cleaned up.

Here's my opinion:

What is the most common car color in general? Silver.

What is the most common Miata color? Blue. At least thats the color that I identify Miatas with.

What are the most common Ferrari colors? Red, White, Black and Yellow. Sure you've seen them in other colors but those are the big 4.

Do you want to look common, dinky or exotic?

We really can't help you with color; strickly personal choice. Go with what lights you up the most. Sounds like your a blue fan. Go with it.

People compliment my car color (DB). DB is great...but its one of those dark colors where you can see dust easily upclose. But at night under a light...the car looks amazing.

IF - you get to have a unique color but it doesn't sound like you like it that much

SS - very netural and solid. Also found on lots of cars

DB - metalic blue..stands out...hard to maintain next to black.

I want to get mine painted blue or red sooooooo bad.
Don't get me wrong... I love my PPW.
It's just that it's kinda bland. And plus, the DB is soooooooooooooooooooooo beautiful!

If your really concerned about this you shold probably take a look at the G35 Coupes instead. Just a thought...
