Why did they stop making Chicane Yellow Zs?

The real question is why did they stop making that blue that they only made in 2009?

What blue was only made in 2009? The only blue I know of is Monterey Blue and they made that for a few years until 2012 I think?

Yeah, that one.

The yellow was very cool, it's funny though if you look at Monterey Blue Ebay prices for like, anything, they are triple the price.

They only had Chicane Yellow for the first year of the new 370 in 2009.

It was a $500 extra charge.

This is also the least produced color of the 370 except for one color that I think was never actually put on our cars for sale. I forget the color though, it was on one of the charts on this site.

It was a pearl Yellow. Were the 370's pearl?

They stopped making the yellow becuz they were tired of ppl putting BUMBLEBEE on the license plate

If I'm not mistaken? Nissan announced it was a year one color option when the car debuted.... It was a $500 option and wasn't meant to keep going. The next year we got black cherry as a $500 option. I believe it's a standard color now.
If I was a gambling man? I'm almost sure lack of sales ended the $500 upcharge on limited run colors. I bet, probably magma red and midnight blue were supposed to be upcharge colors till sales declined???? Then they probably turned into using those colors as a strategies to boost sales???
