Re: I am torn between black and red
I'm totally agree wit ya 
People stare longer wondering what car it is...LOL! Then they finally realized...its an amazing G! HEHE...red/black its all good. If you like flashy color and won't mind living wit it for long term...get the red. If u think black catches ur eyes all the time somehow...then get the black. You should be happy wit it in long term. I am very happy wit my choice...only that it needs to take shower more often than other colors. Once u make it clean...it will bling like no others!

Re: I am torn between black and red
Thanks for your opinions guys. I counted the replies and so far the red has 8 counts and black has 6 counts. It's pretty even I think. I just talked to a friend who got the black 350z. He told me not to get black because he has to wash it every 3-4 days or so. I still can't decide. It is a tough decision...

I was very literally like this when I ordered my car. I was in the first allocation so I didn't have the luxury of seeing the car in different colors (or at all, for that matter, other than some pre-production pictures) to aid in making my decision. So when I ordered it I picked black. Then I went down to the dealership and changed my mind to red. Then I went and walked around the mall to think about it, and talked to a couple people, and called back and changed it back to black. Finally, I went home and thought about it some more, asked a couple more opinions, and called the dealership 15 minutes before closing (at which time my order was going to be entered) and switched back to red again. I'm glad I did. :-)

Re: I am torn between black and red
Come on man, it's a sports car! Red was made for this car. Why do think there are more Tv ads for it in Red? I have seen one commercial with the black. Guys with black don't get me wrong I think it's one of my top colors for this car. But... Cleaning? And the way the paint chips so easily? Of course it's all opinion but to me Sports Car says RED, like red flash of light as I zoom by. FYI though, the night I bought my car I drove off the lot and right into the freeway and within 5 MINUTES I had Johnny Law on my tail and he stayed there all the way to my exit. Either he agreed with me on the color or the saying about Red cars is true. Either way I still love her in Red. Laters. [img]/w3timages/icons/cool.gif[/img]

Re: I am torn between black and red
It's easy to decide:
Black looks great when its clean, but its like a magnet for dust and dirt. I already own two black cars so I know a liitle about it. Be prepared to wash it every few days if you want that great look. When its dirty it doesn't look much different than an RSX.
Red is real flashy. If you don't want the attention, don't get it. I hadn't had a red car since my old Camaro Rally Sport, but if you got it, flaunt it man. I got the red.

Re: I am torn between black and red
Black looks straight mean, esp. with a dark tint.
Red looks like an all out sports car. I think that sums it up for wht you want ur car to look like.
Both are nice. =)

Re: I am torn between black and red
Time for my $.02!!! I picked up a brand new black Mitsu Eclipse GS-T back in '97. God I loved that car! I'll agree with every person in this thread that when clean, black is an outstanding color choice. Since I'm slightly ****-rententive when it comes to my cars, I always kept it clean. The problem was not the dirt--it was the "swirl marks". Regardless of how much I babied that thing, the swirl marks just kept coming, and on black, they stood out like a sore thumb. It's heartbreaking to spend so much time keeping your car nice, only to be dealt the "swirl mark curse". Regardless of what color you choose, I'm quite sure you'll eventually end up with swirl marks, however, no color shows them quite like black! I've sworn never to own another black car...

Re: I am torn between black and red
Or, you could have the best of both worlds. Red with Black Interior. You won't get swirl marks on your leather!

Re: I am torn between black and red
cman now, you know as well as I know swirls marks are really just as obvious on a red car as black.
On way to avoid swirls is simply washing bumper to windshield and ground to roof ... NO CIRCULAR motion and wax the thing.
I do, and I have way less swirls than anyone with a "non black" car

Re: I am torn between black and red
I was in the same boat. When I went to get mine, they had 4 of them, black with willow, silver with willow, white with willow and red with willow. My last 2 cars were black. Black is so sweet when it's clean but keeping it clean is impossible in the NE. Here's my choice:
