The exact car I'm looking at (07 DB Enthusiast 6-speed w/out Aero package) is not available in the entire Southeast so I was going to just grab an '08. Now I might just skip on the Z altogether.
Skip on the Z

Solar Orange is not being ditched, it was always a one year color...

Really loved my Daytona Blue 03 though... almost got that color again.

I personally would like to see a bright green but not real bright they need to do for green what LeMans Sunset did for orange, make it flashy without being immature. I personally like the green on the old Scion xb, and think that it would look great on the Z

Well, Daytona Blue was the fastest color, until SMB came out, so I guess they decided to drop it.

When I was checking out Rx8's, I saw their dark green and it was nice. Never been much for green cars, but that looked really good. The Rx8 with the Shinka pkg came in a black cherry mica-very black with red metal flake reflections, not purplish like the brickyard red, better IMO.

Im surprised they don't have a green out yet.

Flat black would look awesome, I wonder anyone has done it custom? (the same flat they use on hemi's and such)

Redline might not carry over, but another form of red will come up.

Nissan has a very nice gold color (Murano). Wouldn't mind seeing that color on the Z.

They should add a whole new color, like a dark green or purple.

I noticed this on Optimum Autos, but I assumed they had it wrong. I guess not. Bummer. DB is (was) a great color.

Green would be interesting.

DB is going away cause of SMB, and Redline is going away cause of the new red color.

You know what that means about orange, right Nissan? Goodbye SO hello LS?

That gold that they make the Muranos and Altimas in would look really good.

IMHO forrest green is so 90's, a bit to conservative
