Yeah, I do. I wish I stuck to my original idea of getting Monterey Blue. Never even got a chance to see it in person at all, and I wrote it off as a bit too baby blue for me. Wasnt until I saw it in person that I loved it.

Besides, black is a bitch to keep clean.

That's what I was hoping to avoid, yet still battling between Gun Metallic and Blue.

I love Gun Metallic, but I hate the fact that every single damn car out there is either Grey, black, or white.

Hate to say, but look at the color options Nissan has stuck us with...4 shades of grey (5, if you count Black Cherry...), Red, and Blue.

Horray.

They aint no BMW, thats for sure.

I was skeptical until I had the car shipped to me. Happy with my decision.

Sometimes I regret it, I like Chicane yellow, Black Cherry, and 40th quartz just as much. But after walking out to my current MRBlue after a fresh wash, I fall back in love each time

Same could be said with chicane yellow. It's like one of those colors where you're pretty damn doubtful at first on pictures and samples and then get blown away when seen in person. Though if more people are buying blue z...then easier choice for me on gun metallic. ;-)

Monterey Blue is a great color for the Z.

No regrets. CY & Red are the best sports car colors, only I believe they attract police attention. So that left the 40th, PG, or BS for me. I went with the best deal. No tickets after nearly a year.
