I actually ordered both a White and Midnight Blue. I didn't like the blue, but I can head back to the dealership and snap some shots for you guys.

I'm curious, what didn't you like about the Midnight Blue? I may be in the same boat. I am waiting on Midnight Blue. Got my VIN on Saturday; expected delivery is around 9/14. The dealer ordered this car for stock back on 6/6, I just put a deposit on it a week and a half ago. If I don't like the color in person, I'm switching to Gun Metallic.

I like colors that are bold and rare. Which is why I wanted the Monterrey Blue. The Midnight Blue in person looks very boring. It reminded me of a Porsche color too much. Plus the new sport rims I had the car equipped with looked too dark with the color. BUT the red calipers were hot

Hope this helps!

When Z's came out, they had Monterey Blue, Mustangs came in Grabber Blue (still do, in fact), Mazdaspeed3's came in a similar blue... I didn't find it particularly rare. Bold, sure.

How about a mod to install a switch to turn the DRL's off ?
I despise them. And I'm thinking about a 2013 in Magnetic Black.

I should have clarified. I meant rare for my region. In NY, Mustangs are rarely blue mostly black. Mazda's are rarely blue, they are gunmetal. But even the name "Monterrey Blue" only pops up on one other car at that time.

Went to look at the first 2013 in Calgary. Took some close ups of the LED's and the front.

sure blue isnt a rare color across different makes and models, but as far as the 370Z is concerned according to vinces production stats utility between 09 when the 370 was introduced and november 2011 there were only a total of 1,618 monterey blue 370Z's produced. going off that if you were to divide it up that would only be a little over 500 monterey blue 370Z's produced for the entire U.S. for each of those years which makes it a little bit of a rare color for the 370Z and all the more reason to hold on to my monterey blue lol

Default HOT 370z 2013 Photos

for all of you like me looking for 2013 Gun metallic, been hesitating the purchase before seeing how it actually looks with gun metallic...

Took these photos today; had no idea all nissan dealerships were closed on sundays..

At two different local dealerships in Houston.

DIRECT COMPARISON OF 2009-2012 / 2013
2011


2013














I tried to angle the shot so 2013 base wheels don't stand out in the pictures, since I believe that the base wheels won't do justice and could possible spoil the look of Gun metallic 370z if you're looking for sport package.
