What's up with that?! I finally convinced one of my friends to get an Z and now we find out Daytona blue was axed????!?! He's looking for an 07 Daytona Blue Touring 6SPD (Convinced him manual is the juwnks!! ) and soon he will be an member of this site too! (if he finds it!) so any tips guys? He has tried autotrader/cars.com and several new car inventory in our area...lots of 08's , none Daytonas

Carlos called. I told him I see too many other DBs on the road. I suggested he stop making Zs or any other car that color. He said "cool". The deed was done.
























Seriously. How would anybody know what the marketing group is thinking? Look at the last 5 years. Every year a special color comes out for one year only. They've occasionally dropped colors and added new ones. It's the way of the auto industry.

for 09 they should axe ALL the colors and bring back the special colors from previous years for 09... then go back to their normal coloring scheme

I wanted DB for a long time so I feel your pain. When I finally got around to buying the car, I looked at the SMB, which I actually like better. Of course, it's not what I like that matters. Check Autotrader; that's where I found my car.

DB is a 2007 color, so it's out there. I saw several in the Atlanta area, but all were roadsters.

Good luck.

No, the color is discontinued. I know because I just snatched up an 07 DB that was on it's way over before it was too late. The DBs you are seeing are 07 models.
