Unless they are painting taxis with metalic paint with 3 additional coats of clear coat on top for extra gloss, I think it looks more like a Ferrari.

I know that yellow can look good on the car b/c the Axis car looks pretty good.

That shade of yellow is pretty fugly though. Every other available color looks much better than Taxi/School bus yellow.

I don't care how much metallic or clear you put on it, the color just ain't right.

Thanks for the pics, now I'm positive I don't want one.

Unless you see it in person not on a computer screen, you don't know. I can tell you that the posted photos are not 100%like the actual color. The extra $500 for this special color is worth every penny and then some. Each person has their own tastes but for me this color rocks. The Ferrari feeling without the Ferrari price. What more could you ask for? ps black cars are for dead people.

If you are talking about shades of colors, then what a picture is worth depends entirely on how accurate the colors are in the photo. You mean this isn't 1984?

maybe its the pictures, but it looks like a flat yellow. I was hoping they would make something special such as a metallic yellow or something like that.

Actually it is a metalic yellow. Reserve judgement until you see it in person. I remember I didn't like the looks of the new Z in the car magazine photos. Not until I saw one in person did I like it.

keep in mind those are digital pics that do not look very high res. EVERYTHING looks different in person, and it would look different even with a different hi-res camera.

How does PPW look in crappy pictures vs. in real life? You can't even trust promo catalogs - if I would've seen the red R1 in person before I ordered the silver, I might've changed my order (naaaaahhhhh )

Anyway, thanks for th epics nevertheless! Cool to see they actually exist and are on their way!

Not feeling the yellow on the 350, even though the 350 is sleek yellow looks good on cars that look more sleek than the 350. Ferraris,Vettes, even the S2000, the 350 looks to chunky for yellow.

At night the street lights will reflect off the paint like crazy. I was never a fan of yellow until one night when I was on the strip in Las Vegas and a yelllow corvette convertible drove by. It glowed. I nearly wet myself. It was drop dead gorgeous. I think the Z will be too.

Reggie914, trust me the yellow isn't at all flat. I agree some of the photos make it look flat though. Digital cameras are notorious for reproducing inaccurate colors.
