I'm glad they did away with that nasty color. It downgrades the Z so much its not a sporty color at all. Its a color that should go on a Jaguar....lol, I'm prolly gonna get $hit for saying this. Everyone I have talked to about the color says its the ugliest for the Z...

I don't know who your talking to, alberto, but it runs counter to every person who has seen my Brick and drooled on it! LOL!
If the worst one can say about it is the color belongs on a Jag, we Bricks are in good shape!
My thanks to Nissan for discontuing the color!

I read somewhere that there was a study done of the most desireable colors among consumers. That color turned out to be silver. Thus we have 3 different silvers in 04. I personally cannot tell you how many people salivate over the car & color.
Its a matter of personal taste I guess.

Oh, well.

I remember coming out of some high class supermarket near my work. There where two yuppies sitting in an SUV. Husband and Wife. They waited a half an hour just to find out who owned the car so they could ask me the color.
Next day a lady and her daughter where getting out of a Jag. Don't remember the color. As I was parking next to her she replied "Oh my thats a great color. My husband was thinking of getting one but he wasn't sure so he bough this" pointing at the jag. The daughter replied dad is going to be pissed :-P

Hey Fisherprice, you should get the trunk mat. It's a nice addition to clean up the back, and it's pretty cheap. If I remember correctly, the back was just a this felt-like material without it.

Took my BY perf to a picnic hosted by the local Corvette resto club.
The consensus was it was the best metallic factory paint job they had seen. I think Nissan dumped the color because it was too hard to put on right. I live in fear of having to match it someday.

My 2 cents on the Brickyard.
Most 350Z's were pre-ordered.
The paint chips on the website for the silver, red, black and blue made it easy to picture the final results. The Brickyard was impossible to picture on the car so almost no one preordered a Brickyard.
Silver is the most popular color for all cars in US.
No one would have ordered a Sunset either if it wasn't for the show car and the Run.
I was searching for a Red or Black 350 when my daughter came home from the mall and told me about this burgandy Z they had on display. Once I saw it under the bright lights from the skylights I was hooked.
I went home got back on the computer and located the exact trim level and options I was looking for 120 miles from my house. Called the dealer and headed their way. Been loving it ever since.

I can't tell you how many times I almost called my dealer to switch my order to a Brickyard. The color is SO sexy!

NOW.... all this brickyard talk makes me realize I have not caressed my baby for almost a day. Time to go take the Brick for a spin and get lavashed with compliments..."I'm Dead Sexy. You Are Crap!"

I've heard pre-order #s of somewhere between 6500-8000. In either case, that doesn't constitute "most" 350Zs in my book.

He's correct. "most" Z's were not preorders. Also, I don't think that Brickyard was the least popular preorder either. Wasn't it the Redline?
Here, I looked up the then famous "Brackethead" Survey of preorderers (we charter members remember this one well I'm sure) and here is the breakdown of a sample of 430 preorders.
Brackethead's Survey
BTW, that begs the question, what the hell ever happened to Brackethead???
