Looking to order a new 06 soon and like the Athens blue with graphite interior.
Having an argument with the wife in that she think's Athens blue is a "girlie" color. I disagree, think it's a good boy blue color, better than lakeshore.
Like IP and DP but have had a White Diamond Pearl for 6 yrs and DP still hasn't won me over.

What do you all think...Athens blue girlie or not ???

 

No, supposedly IP won the "girlie color of the year" award, so your safe.

 

If someone said the G35 was a girly car would that deter you from purchasing it? Who cares what others think. Its your money, get what you want. Personally I like AB, especially with graphite interior.

 

Can't go wrong with black!

 

Way girlie.

 

You can't **** with AB. But shouldn't it be discontinued in 06 for the new blue?

 

tell that b1tch to stfu. athens blue is a hot color!

 

hahaha.

I like dark blue's like Midnight Blue Pearls or Indi-Blue's.. the blue that is very dark
in low light (almost appears black), but in sunlight it's a deep blue. imo, these are
real 'guy' blue colors.

but the G's blue is a lot more flashy and I think it's a cool color for any guy or girl who wants to turn heads.

 

i keep thinking it will look girly, but every time i see it, it confirms that it's really not. cant wait for my AB w/graphite 6MT gets here 9/7

 

Definitely not! I decided on Athens Blue and dont regret it one bit. Don't see very many of them... at least I haven't. The color just pops in the sunlight, got my windows tinted and it looks even better. I need to take new pics late in the day as the color is just amazing.

 

I have an '03 Caribbean Blue, and it looks great (gold Brembos provide a nice contrast), so you know what I think...

 

I am a girl and I have an Athens Blue coupe. Not going to lie to you, as rare as the color is, I have seen probably 5-6 besides mine and 2 of them were driven by girls. The reason why I bought AB was because

1) it wasn't a girly color
2) it wasn't a color I see a lot of women driving on the road (as opposed to IP, LR, silver, DG most commonly - not to be confused with girly colors)

The G isn't a girly car, god forbid I'd see a girl in a G with Brembos. However, cars like the G and the Z always seemed to be on the "cute" side to me. Now an M3 is a manly looking car. Feel free to flame me all you want, I'm just used to myself in my car and I'm not a guy, so my perspective is distorted..

 

I kept thinking the same thin about Lakeshore Slate when I first started pricing the G35 Coupe. I liekd it, but it just didn't seem "mean" enough for me. Once I saw it in person I knew that even if anyone thought it might seem girlie, it didn't matter. It jsut looked so good to me I didn't care.
