The white looks the greatest AFTER black. Black is just hard to maintain, keep clean, and hard to keep the swirls out of.

I'd get white among all 3 choices. (note i didnt even consider the blue slate)

The wood isn't available with sport package for now. If you don't want the sport package, then you can get the wood trim. If you do get the sport package, then dealerships can install the wood for you. I know Riverside Infiniti can install wood trim for you but it'll cost you more money.

why dont you just wait till you see them in person, you may regret it if you just go by pics. Everyone here knows colors look diff when you see them up close, the lines may flow better on a color when you see it in person and not on the computer, or whatever your looking for in a color.

I know 10x more than my salesman. Although I can't believe I missed the IP w/ Graphite part. I guess I just missed the announcement.

Looking at my previous cars, I've had the Etneral Blue on the Acura, and Black on the current G35. So open to your inputs, Package wise everything except for 4WAS? Your :2cents:
Honestly bro, no one can decide what color you should get except YOU. Myself personally, I would go for the red with graphite interior or the IP with graphite interior. If you go with BO or BS and want it kept clean all the time, be prepared to work extra hard for it. Also, Infiniti is notorious for their extremely soft paint, so swirl marks and spider webbing will be unpreventable. But again though, get the color that excites you the most.

I echo Garnet Canuck's comments in full. I have had several black cars that always look great WHEN clean. This time, I'm going for IP with the graphite interior. BTW , if you live an area of hot summers and/or high humidity, black is even more difficult to keep clean, plus your car will be hotter outside AND in with the darker colors.

Good luck and happiness, whatever your final choice!

Yep ^ What he said... I have OB and am considering changing colors to Red. This is my 3rd Black car and I think that I am tired of the extra work it takes to keep clean. Our other car(Nissan Pathfiner) is red . It is easy to make look lood . Interestingly the paint on the Nissan is much better than on my Infiniti.- go figure.

Great mind thinks alike . Those two colours are my number one choices as well, even in the same order .

However I don't agree that black is harder to keep clean then white. Both are equally hard. White usually shows little rust dots, not coming from the car and have no idea where they come from, that only claying the car will remove .

EDIT. In case anyone ask, my previous BMW was white, my current car is black and my brother's Lexus is white and both white car had/has those pesky little rust dot.

Don't know if it applies to Infiniti cars during transport, but some owners of Taffy White Civic Si's on the 8thcivic forum stated that their "pesky" rust dots/spots were the result of RAIL transport from the Canadian plant that assembles Si versions of the new Civics.

I'm still a' goin' for IP on the G37, and here in Coastal Georgia I think I'll be worrying more about FREE Deposits from Brown Pelicans, Herring Gulls, White Egrets and the infamous 'Great Blue Heron,' perhaps the most insidious Giant Pooper of them all!

about the last part.

However, those rust dots appears with time, I noticed them usually right after winter so who knows where they come from. I will choose Vibrant Red this time around, but I may change my mind as I really like white cars
