What Color would you choose?

I am looking at getting either a Diamond Graphite or Lakeshore Slate exterior color and would like to take a poll which color you all would choose.

If you end up going w/ the Lakeshore Slate, are you going to start another poll re: which interior color to go with that exterior as well? It's just funny that you can't pick interior or exterior colors of what YOU like. Just get what you like the most and who cares what other people think. My guess is the people w/ DG cars will tell you DG and people slate will pick slate. Just my $0.02. Don't mean to bust on you. Good luck w/ your choice.

My bad..now I see that you already assigned interior colors depending on the exterior color. I own a DG w/ graphite interior and chose that because of low maintenance when it comes to cleaning. I like the other color combo a LOT (it looks sweet), but I do prefer the option of less maintenance to keep the interior clean. My wife's car has light gray leather interior & it's a B%#CH to keep clean.

I was faced with exactly the same choice and I selected Diamond Graphite with Graphite and not stone because of the ease of maintenance. I originally wanted twilight blue but I was disappointed when I saw it in person.

Why didn't you like the twilight blue? This is the color my wife likes since her truck is almost the same color. I seen pics on here of the twilight blue and it makes the car more aggressive and sportier looking than the DG or LS. DG and LS looks more classy.

When i started the search, i had put down a deposit for an 05 lakeshore with stone. None of the dealers could find one, i wound up with an 06 in DG/G.

When i tell ppl i wanted to get the blue color, ppl tell me that would have been a mistake, but when i see a LS G35, i get kinda jealous. Gotta admit theres only a few of those compared to the DG color you see everywhere.
DG is classier color i think, more neutral, more acceptable to alot of ppl. Some ppl have told me a light blue color car would have been... well too "festive".

I still think Lakeshore is hot.

Oh twi blue is weird, in most lighting conditions, it looks almost black. (Kinda the point it seems). I think if yer gonna get twi blue, you might as well get black, just my 2 cents.

In person I thought it had a tinge of purple which took away from the deep dark blue color which I expected. My wife also had the same reaction. But again maybe it was the way the sun hit the car when I looked at it. I just didn't like it and I am a big fan of dark blue.

Lakeshore Slate w/ stone interior, all the way. There are dime a dozen Diamond Graphites out there, be different.

That is exactly the color I order. Nothing like seeing it in person. Very rarely do dealerships order this color combination and should be worth ordering it for yourself.

My wife's Toyota Tundra has the same color blue as Infiniti's Twilight Blue. Your right when the light hits the color a certain way the truck does have a purple tinge to it. My Wife kind of wants me to get the Twilight Blue to match her truck.

I am ordering my G next month. Yes I have been doing all my research on this car and been on this forum for a while. This forum has been giving me ideas on how to mod the car when I get it to.

As for color, I want to be different. I haven't seen to many LS or TB sedan here in Hampton Roads, VA area.

Then why not get it custom painted to your liking?
