DB = Daytona Blue

You can usually tell each model apart (visually) by either their wheels and their brakes. Obviously, if they're heavily modded...you can't tell . Hmm? "Bubblegum Red" ???

Colors
CS = Chrome Silver
SS = Silverstone
?? = Le Mans Sunset I have no idea
PPW = Pikes Peak White
RL = Redline
UL = Ultra Yellow
SB = Super Black
DB = Daytona Blue

As far as models go, if they are stock, Base and Enthusiast look the same, Performance has 18" wheels and looks the same, Touring has 18" and leather, and track has better 18" wheels and brembo brakes. So for the most part at 60 mph, it's hard to tell especially if they have changed rims.

Shoot if I know... I've probably seen some on the roads and never really knew the difference...

But I've heard people say that it [the LA] looks nicer than the CS...

I guess I know what I'm going to look for on our next meet . I have a feeling it's almost identical or it maybe Nissan's way of renaming CS to sound cooler .

I thought LA was the same as CS...but just the name for the color in Europe or something...

I could be wrong...

Default LA vs CS

I thought LA was an extra $1k, CS is a regular color....
