I guess that makes my DB Enthusiast pretty rare. Haven't seen any others In the area.

Jestasia, is your friend looking in the Bay Area? I'm also looking for a 2007 DB (Enthusiast). I can let you know if I find a Touring.

Ashley, DB is still available, if you build it online, the color is still an option for the 07's...not entirely sure about 08's though!

And Jest, your right the 05 35th ani yellow is hot, thats been the best color out so far...wish I could have found one, it would have gone great with my nickname!

I'm not saying to axe them -- they are already gone, anyways. I was saying that PPW is nowhere near as common as either of the silvers.

DB is my color, wouldn't have my Z any other way By and large, I hardly see it on the road, which is great. Almost wish they had axed it earlier, so that it would be a bit more rare. But then I wouldn't have a new Z in DB. When I was looking for my exact car back in July/August, there were only 3 DB Enthusiast 6Spds on the entire east coast. Lucky break for me I guess.

But every car comes in a DB color:
RX-8
RSX
Civic Si
Focus
A whole bunch of Chevys...

So no matter how special it is, it can't be that special anyway.
Sometimes I wish I got a Brickyard, Interlagos Fire, or 35th Yellow. But my Silverstone is like saying my car is "distinguished" (though it seems almost indistinguishable between all the other grey-silver cars out there).

I love the DB but you know what they say about progress..........


At least they still have a red even if its not redline.

SMB as awesome as the color is does not count as a blue in my book for the $.o2 that is.

Those aren't DB if you look at the color code

It was likely discontinued since it has been around since the 350Z first came out as an 03. Maybe it will make my car more valuable. Ha Ha!

Hey does anyone know if I can still get a DB for 2008? After reading all of these exciting posts, I just wasn't clear.

For 2k you can get your car painted any color you want, by a body shop.
