I prolly sound wicked spoiled and maybe acting like a lil biatch, but i dont think Nissan would all of a sudden mass produce the gun metallic colors on the 2011 models, it would completely ruin the 2010 40ths appeal. i DONT believe this story

It has been widely rumored for a while now, and it annoys me for completely different reasons.

I agree with the sentiment that the 40th shade should remain unique. It is a special model for one year only, but I think the gun metal will probably be slightly different in shade.

But it annoys me because, if you add in black and white, we're talking about a sixth greyscale paint color: PW, BS, PG, 40th, GM, MB

It's a sports car, it deserves another eye-grabbing shade like an orange or green, or perhaps a nice dark blue to complement Monty Blue, or dare I suggest, that midnight purple that always looks so hot on GTR's.

Just my two pennies.

I agree with every thing you said, even the orange part. I hope you are right about a different shade because the 40th shade should remain unique. I took silver since I could not get green. Is their a pigment shortage at Nissan?
I do like the back-up camera option is a good one. Somebody asked if my Nav had one and I remember saying not actually knowing "Huh, maybe it does? I never think to look forward when I am backing up. You look while I reverse it." Of course it doesn't.
