Just put a deposit down on a 6MT coupe coming in sometime in January. This car is Lakeshore Slate. Does anyone have any good pics of the two blues to compare them? I'm afraid I might like the Athens Blue better, but I don't know...

Any help is appreciated...

Here's a couple. I'm faced with the same dilemma btw Let us know what you decide.

Here's 2 more. Lakeshore Slate looks a lot like a blueish Diamond Graphite. Don't buy the Athens Blue, the less AB coupes on the road, the better

 

I'd take the Lakeshore Slate . But I would be willing to do what you need to do to keep it looking as good as it should!

easier to clean!

 

I like both but I have always been partial to brighter blue colors... I wonder if you can find out anywhere which one they are going to produce more of or if there are any numbers for that kind of thing...

I would buy the one they are producing the lowest number of

I was looking at getting an 04 but these two colors for 05 are really getting to me! I may opt for a Lakeshore slate now... Hmmmm

 

Athens Blue! It stands out more and with some nice rims it will look hot.

 

<<<< left in my opinion

 

I had the same dilemma. I picked Athens Blue. I figured Lakeshore Slate's understated look was better for the sedan.

 

Well, I just called my dealer and told him to find me an Athens Blue of the same options. The Athens just stands out more and the darker color is going to look better with dark tinted windows I think... Thanks for everyones help, now to find an FI solution!

 

i like the color lakeshore slate. its kind off like aquamarine blue. i always liked that color. but on the coupe i think the athens blue might be better option.

 

Hmmmm...I'm not thrilled with either. I like my Twilight Blue somewhat better.

 

I really like the look of Twilight Blue, but it's too dark . . . it seems to me that it would have all the maintanance nightmares that go along with a black car.

 

I got to see both colors at my local Infiniti dealership. While I think Athens Blue is nice, I found the lakeshore slate to be a really unique looking color. Either way, no matter what color you choose, you're still getting an awesome car.
