Default Most popular color?

So I've been shopping for a 350z since I bought my Honda Civic [haha, go figure] in September. Impulse buying is a bad thing. Anyway, I seems to see A LOT of Silver or the Chrome colored 350z. I don't like them at all. I like the Pikes Peak Pearl White, Black, or Redline. Did Nissan just produce more Silver ones, or do you think people get tired of silver?

I personally chose silver because it went the best with the orange seats that I wanted. I like black as well, but it doesn't work for me on a sports car. It's more luxury car to me.

Plus, nothing shines more than a silver roadster in the sun. You can burn peoples' retinas out with a nicely polished car.

I think silver is just more popular because most people are good with it. Not everyone wants a white car or a black car, but silver is a pretty neutral color that most people like.

Silver is the most abundant color.

Personally, I've grown to love silverstone.

When I bought mine I was looking for either a chrome silver, silverstone, or pikes peak white.... the chrome silver was the best deal in the best condition with the lowest amount of miles so I went for it. and also you can burn retnas as stated before!

personally I like all colors except red.... not hatin on red owners, it just doesnt do it for me.

I got mine used so didn't have much of a choice and got the dark blue. I havent seen any around my area with the same color, but I do see many silvers, and saw a yellow the other day.

I personally wanted silverstone too until I saw a LeMans Sunset Z.

Ended up buying a red one though because I got a better deal on it.

The greatest color created in the history of mankind is Daytona Blue.

Idk, the Silver just doesn't do much for me! It's usually the PPW or Daytona Blue that I drool for! The occasional red slips in... but it depends, the red has to have a body kit to look good in my opinion. I don't think I'll settle for anything other than those colors... But there are always nice deals on some silver ones, which is why I thought they may have produced more of them.

Correct. Silver is the most popular 350Z color.

I love my super black it look so sexy in the night. But black is like a mirror it shows everything, even a small chip. It okay for me, I love washing my car.
