Default 350zr 2005 yellow..

Why was the yellow color discontinued in 2006? not enough sale? Is this color ugly? Looks decent to me..

Each year of the 350z has it's own unique color.
2003 is Brickyard.
2004 is Liquid Aluminum.
2005 is Ultra Yellow.
2006 is Interlagos Fire.

Super Black, Pikes Peak White, Redline, Daytona Blue, Lemans Sunset, Silverstone, and Chrome Silver have been produced every year

Super black and magnetic black are slightly different. You can only get magnetic black in '06.

Magnetic Black has metalic in it. It shins more like a Pearl color than a staright up gloss black. Makes the car look richer in the daytime, and meaner at nighttime. Also makes the dirt a bit harder to spot, although it is already very easy to spot due to black color.

If u see them seperately on the road, unless you work with cars and paints and stuff, you won't really notice a difference. But once you see them both, side by side, you'll notice the difference. I like MB better (not cuz I own one.) I just think its a shaper color for a car like this.

I knew the UY was just for 2005, the 35th anniversary year. But I didn't realize other years had exclusive colors as well.

Interesting, thanks.

The Chrome Silver was only from 2003-2005.

For 2006 it is Silver Alloy... very close to the Liquid Aluminum!

- Super Black is gone, like stated. Now is Magnetic Black.
- I think the new Silver Alloy replaced Chrome Silver
- Interlagos Fire probably won't be offered after 2006 ilke SCDOO stated. Every year they've had a special color.

I wish they still had Brickyard.

I agree - Brickyard was/is a GREAT color choice.
Very unique, and a shame that it was only offered on the launch year Z.

I am surprised that Daytone Blue and Lemans Sunset have continued for as long as they have, considering that they too are also very unique colors. The low production numbers of both should indicate that Nissan would offer other choices, and eliminate them.

Interlargos is an interesting color- However, I see too much copper/brown tones in it to really be liking it.

Also agree with the previous poster - it is time for a really cool/bright/metallic green to hit the Z - YYYYYYYYYYEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!
