My local dealership only has a black ZR and an airstream coupe. I want a roadster but not the frustration of a black daily driver, so I am trying to decide between airstream and carbon silver. There aren't many pictures of the new CS color on the site and its hard to compare the two colors just from pictures since they all have different lighting. So today while in the big city four hours from home, I got one of the dealers to park the cars side by side. They had two airstreams, a MB, and a solar orange on display outside and were agreeable to bring a newly-arrived factory ordered CS out from the back so I could see them side by side. I hope these pictures will help others who might be contemplating the same colors. Cheers.

P.S. The guy in the picture is the salesman.

 

WTH is airstream?

 

+1 wtf are you talking aboot you crazy canadian.

 

Maybe he means roadster.

 

lol, i thought this thread had to do with aerodynamics testing...

 

some colors have different names in canadia, so guessing airstream is one of the different names.

 

I'll spell it out for all you speedy Americans. Nissan likes to name each color differently in each country the car is marketed. In Canada light silver is called Airstream. I would have thought the title and the pictures of two cars identical but for their color would have tipped you guys off but I guess I better kick it down a gear.

Sarcasm begets sarcasm. I'm off for a beer...a real beer.

 

lol

 

****in Canadians...

 

take the coupe color...I don't care if the call it spanish bronze

 

I thought you were comparing the Roadster to a travel trailer. HAHA Edit: Beer sucks, try Tequila. OWNED

 

That looks like West End Nissan in Edmonton...Is it?

 

West End Nissan indeed.

 

ok ok, i was a few beers deep myself last night. I got it now.

im digging the darker one, whichever crazy canadian color that is, im assuming carbon silver?


but I have chrome silver(looks similar to the lighter silver) and its pretty easy to keep clean.

 

I much prefer to deal with Ericksen their attitudes are much better, and I find that West End is full of idiots that don't know a damn thing.

In my opionion, go with the darker of the two.

 

When I bought mine, the colour names were the same. Why does Nissan try to confuse us?

 

i like how he stated that the guy in the pictures was the salesman...

 

Get the Carbon Silver. You will get the full package. GT FTW

 

As the owner of a SB ZR, I was glad to hear you opted not to go that route. Although I love how my car looks when freshly waxed, owning a SB Z is like having a part time job. Having said that, I prefer the darker of the cars-looks, IMO, very classy. Invest in some good polish, wax, and microfiber towels.
