Now that I finally have all my ducks in a row to buy it I can't find it anywhere. It's crazy how rare yellow is, let alone in a touring 6 speed manual. I've found several yellow auto's but no way I'm getting this car in automatic. I've got them working on one that I located out of state. If not I guess I'll have to wait and see what happens on July 1st. The lady at the dealership told me today that on the 1st they should be able to see what changes if any are made for 2010. I'll keep everyone posted if and when I find out anything.

Yellow '09s are around, you just may have to fly somewhere to get it and have a nice drive home.

If Nissan holds true to form, a color might be dropped or changed. The 350Z lost one color from 2003 to 2004 ( Brickyard). My guess is that the yellow disappears or a new premium color takes it's place.

Replaced, not lost. Nissan offers the Z in a different special color each year. My '05 is Ultra Yellow. I think '04 was Liquid Silver. I'd LOVE to see a jade/emerald green!

+1 my friend. If you're referring to the Jade Green Metallic a la RSX.

Greens might not work because of the culture,

Green, or "Midori" in Japanese, is in some contexts associated with work for hire. (Translation: prostitution.)

In Chinese, green is symbolic of a cuckolded husband.

In this country, all the dark green Ford Tauruses that were ever built were sold to single men. (Not necessarily gay -- just single.) Next time you're on the road, check it out. ;P

It's funny how this works. White in China is symbolic of death, not life. (For that, you have to go to red.)

I think a lot of people could chime in with cultural/regional/ethnic quirks, but the hardest one I've run into all along is the taboo on greens. So while I'd also like to see a jade-colored Z, I doubt the Japanese could bring themselves to producing one.

(But

there's always Earl Schieb!)

That's all pretty interesting, but how do you explain Kawasaki Green?

scruffydog · 06-23-2009, 06:42 AM

anyone know/think they'll add the cooling seats for the Touring Models w/ Sports Pkg in the 2010 Model like they'll have it in the 370Z Roadster?

mkdiehl · 06-23-2009, 07:29 PM

scruffy....I am holding out to find out that very thing....I don't know though.

I am waiting to hear if AC seats are available while hoping that persimmon won't be discontinued.......

mkdiehl · 06-23-2009, 08:20 PM

280/300z: There is a yellow sport touring 6sp here in denver.

Since the dealer that was supposed to order my car failed miserably to not only *not* place my order but also never informed me of this until just a few weeks ago, I bailed and am searching high and low for the car that I have been waiting since early March for. Delivery was slated for July 2nd so I'm really feeling this one!

The window for ordering 09 models is closing in a few weeks but I was able to find out more information on the '10 models. Take it with a grain of salt but I personally viewed a document that listed the following for the new model year:

Colors available: Silver, Blue, Black, Pearl White, Red. Not sure about Platinum but yellow was definitely missing. The new premium color is Black Cherry (yes!), same as what is offered on the roadster.

Leather Options: Black, frost (grey) and persimmons

There will be a 40th anniversary package offered for additional cost though. Details were thin, all I could see was special badging and this was tied to the premium color (had to buy them together).

The '10 models will arrive in late November. The 40th anniversary (w/Black Cherry paint) will not be orderable until 1/10/2010).

I did not see any other changes listed though I would not be surprised to see a few mechanical tweaks (oil cooler maybe? Please??)

I asked the dealer what differences in prices were expected and he said that a 2% bump would not be out of the question. How about keeping the price the same in this crappy economy?

The 2010 are supposed to be available Nov 13. I wonder if the 40th anniversary will get a bump in hp since the car is being released in Jan 2010. The 35th anniversary was also released in Jan after the normal Nov release and it ended up having more hp, but of course the higher hp engine ended being more trouble and was quickly replaced with a better engine.

"but of course the higher hp engine ended being more trouble" ........ the "rev-up"......... should have been named the "oil down"
