No offense to the brickyard owners, but according to several dealerships in N. Cali, the brickyard did extremely poor in this area.
Several salesmen tried to sell me a brickyard and were willing to wheel and deal with that color while they wouldn't even budge on the other colors.
Don't get me wrong, I think it's good looking color, but I think the numbers just didn't pan out for Nissan and so they dropped it.

I don't think it's an unpopular color. I think when a dealership has no Zs on their lot (or maybe just Silver ones), it's harder to sell a brick because the color swatch looks pretty lame next to the other color swatches... it really does no justice to the car

? That car is not LA?
Maybe the dealer is false advertising and that color is CS and not LA. They are marking it up to sell it for a higher price. I would never trust a dealer. Have you talked to a car salesman recently? Would you trust them? I have talked to a dealer that said they can’t get LA for many months and they have ’04s in stock.

just picked up my LA coupe and couldn't be more happy with the color. it's deep and very reflective. realize everyone's entitled to their opinion, but fail to see the point of some of you putting down one color over another.

I think enough Zaino on a CS could be mistaken for a LA?

I think we all just need to calm down a bit and wait until we can compare for ourselves. Despite a bunch of panic a year ago, Nissan did a pretty good job of giving us good colors on the 2003's and I'm not believing that they did this for no reason. A lot of people love their Chrome Silver. I wouldn't want one, but I love my Silverstone. I'm sure that Liquid Aluminum will prove itself to be a stunning color, like all the others. Let's just give it a chance.
Come on, you LA buyers, post some pics! Show us why you love it!

Honestly, it's one of those things where you'll see the car, think it's just a regular color (CS), then you'll look at the sticker, realize that it's a "special" color with a premium price tag, then and only then will you start to notice the aluminum look. In all honestly you SS/CS guys aren't missing out on anything. =\ (No offense to you LA guys, if that's possible)
I saw it in the afternoon, half the car under the shadow of the dealership's building, half of it in the sunlight.

Most Z buyers, including myself, love the CS more than any other color. So those Nissan bastards figured if they bring out a more fancy silver they would sell even more touring models, for an $xtra premium of course.
