Guess there is no latest version, only one version of the navi since the first production of the car (BTW, mine is 5 months old). you can ask the dealer by your self
Mine is black, and yours?

hey samery, for someone who lives in Dubai, u sure seem pretty fluent with english slang and stuff. is it from reading on internet forums? also, do people mod their cars over there?
I am Iranian, but i was born in America, and whenever i imagine a middle eastern country i imagine a strict government where people are not allowed to do anything. do lots of people over ther drive sports cars? what is the automotive culture like in Dubai?

Hehe- I'm actually Lebanese in origin but i lived all over the world and now I'm in Dubai- Dubai is insane amigo- The city is basically 85% expats like myself (mostly Europeans and Asians) and we are into everything under the sun (look Dubai up on the net) especially cars- And there is a HUGE tuner culture and auto culture here-
This city is like nothing in the Arab world (save for Beirut maybe) the amount of money that is pumped in and out is phenomenal and the future of the region lies right over here;
Cant wait to get my Z!!!!!!

I am a Pakistani living in the US for a few years, but I have relatives in Dubai whom I visit often.

I second that- hehe; Dubai is insane I mean its cheaper to buy a porsche here than in Germany (not that I would personally) Its interesting being out on the road in a city of 1 million population when every other car is an XLR, M3, SL55 or Lamborghini Gallardo buts its cool- very few cars stand out like the Z-
cheers!

Dubai is the swankiest of the swank cities in the world, no doubt. I just can't handle the weather there! I was there in July once, and I felt like my eyeballs would melt and drip down to my chest. And I am from Pakistan! The summers in Dubai are something to be experienced, not described, IMO. But what an unbelievable city!

I agreed, Dubai is one of a few places I want to visit. They're also building the Palm, a HUGE island off shore in the shape of a palm tree! I did a history study on Dubai and its amazing what they acomplished in 20yrs!
hey usmanasif, I'm coming to denver this week, pm me if you want to meet up. Unfortunately, I'm leaving my Z here in CA since I'm coming back.

You bet! I have seen the Palm promotional DVD. A very good friend of mine recently bought a house there to put away for retirement. He was showing me the corner of the "branch" it is on!
I am going to Minneapolis on Monday morning for some interviews and will return in 10 days or so (not sure yet). But let's meet sometime soon. I really wanna see your Z as I rarely get to see any on the roads here in town, for some reason.
Samery2k, sorry we hijacked your thread!
