2011 New Color

If the new color is Gunmetal or Gun Metallic, I will be disappointed. As a PG owner myself, I think there are too many shades of gray already. As stated

Default 2011 New Color

If the new color is Gunmetal or Gun Metallic, I will be disappointed. As a PG owner myself, I think there are too many shades of gray already. As stated on other threads, there are plenty of better (cooler & exotic) colors that could have been chosen. I just wanted to place a picture showing the differences.

What next? Graphite Smoke? Carbon Mist?

If it wasn't for that damn ugly red interior, the 40th would be perfect.

Gunmetal would be fine if it replace PG and the 40th anv graph. Won't be offered next model year. But they still need a color to replace blkchy (if it was ment to be a one year color).

I couldn't find a picture of the new color, so I used the GT-R as a reference.

Still wish a more exotic color came out.

Why buy a car that you don't even know what it looks like in a picture?

If the gunmetal is the same color as the GTR, it'll be the best looking color to me.

I agree with both sides of the argument

On one hand it would be nice to see an exotic color rather than another shade of gray

But I have always thought if the PG was a bit darker itd be the hottest color.

I always wanted the GTR It was about 10k over my budget. So that allows me to do more mods to make it faster than a stock GTR. I still need to figure out the traction situation!

nissan really needs to darken the door handles on those darker colors.

i was originally going to go with platinum but decided billiant silver cause the door handles/logo/wheels all look more consistent with silver.
