help on colors

So, i'm trying to decide between ivory pearl, diamond graphite, and laser red. I would appreciate it if ppl coudl tell me what the positives and negatives r of all three colors. I really wanted caribbean blue but no new 04's are left at the dealers.

I'm a bit biased but show me a more classic and timeless sports car colour than red. Up north here Infiniti Canada calls it Toreador Red instead of Laser Red.

My second choice was diamond graphite, which is called Silverstone here in Canada.

The Infiniti website shows that International Infiniti in West Allis, WI (suburb of Milwaukee, I believe) has an '04 Coupe 6MT in Caribbean Blue with a willow interior with Premium, Nav, and splash guards in stock. You may want to give them a call at (414) 543-3000. CB is worth the drive- I flew up to Baltimore to get mine and I live in Florida. Good luck!

I love laser red for lots of reasons and for resale, red tops all colors. Proof? Go to Edmunds car appraiser (link below setup for '04 g coupe) and change color keeping all else equal. Note, select "red" and NOT dark red (03 color). They actually deduct for white! IMO silver is way too common.

Unfortunately that one has navigation and i'm already going way over my budget w/o spending extra on navigation as it is. Thanks for looking out though.

They may still give you a good deal if they want to get rid of the '04- I got mine which is equipped with Nav for less than what a couple other dealers I was negotiating with would come down to for a CB Coupe without Nav. I'm a highway engineer and didn't want the Nav in the first place, but it's a great toy to have.

I'll go with Ivory Pearl. That car looks hot at night and in the day. If you really want the Carribean Blue G35, do what "Gspotter" is telling you to do. IMO

I'm sure they would happily truck it to Chicago. Good luck!

Once you see the CB in person, you will not be able to stop yourself from buying the car!

I get so many compliments on the color, it's ridiculous!

Dude, do yourself a favor and get the Caribbean Blue. It's the most beautiful and rarest color (yes, I've seen the stats and it's rarer than Twilight Blue). If I could only find a CB/G with Brembos in my area, I'd jump on it in a heartbeat. You won't regret it trust me.

Alright, so as good as i still think caribbean blue looks, I don't think i'll be able to get a stick so i won't be able to go with that. I, myslef located an auto in little rock arkansas, but I don't think I'd be willing to travel out there to retrieve my car or pay extra for shipping unless I can get a killer deal from them. Since I'm gonna have to go with auto on this car, I'll prolly end up just going with the red one. On my way to the dealer today, I saw an ivory pearl while driving and the laser red one at the dealership's showroom. I realized that the white one was a lot classier looking but the red one was sportier. At this time in my life, the sportier look is more for me. Thanks for all your help though.
