Default no more LeMans Sunset for 05

I just got back from local Nissan dealer and heard from the manager that nissan will replace LeMan Sunset with Canary(?) Yellow for 05.

I hope this is not an old news. if it is... then sorry. =p

Well everyone keeps hearing about yellow is a new color for 2005. As far as them droping LeMan Sunset that I didn't know. Guess a color has to be given up for a new one. I just wish they had a nice dark green color.

Previous "word" was yellow was replacing LA. First, I've heard of LS going. I doubt it.

LeMans Sunset is somewhat of a trademark color for the 350Z. I don't see it going away in the 3rd MY. If it does, that's unfortunate. It's a pretty color.

i cannot imagine them dropping the lemans sunset and keeping 3 different silvers... two of which is almost indistinguishable from each other.

LeMans is a great color...they would be making a mistake in dropping it.

Aparrently Silver is the best selling color only because they make 3 tones of it..Kind of like not giving people much of a choice.. you can get the Silver one, or how about the Silver one..If your not interested in those two we have a lovely SILVER one you should see...

Now, this might not be correct...but I wouldn't doubt it!

I was hoping that Yellow would replace Le Mans! It's nice having a rare car! I'll be happy to join the brickyards!

I hope they come out with some more colors...green anyone?

They could also change the shades on a few colors...like white and blue...just for a little change...even the red.
