Can anyone give me their thoughts (pro-cons) on which color I should pick for a G37 with black interior? I am considering White Exterior with Black interior or Graphite Shadow with the Black interior. I love white, my fav color.....but the Graphite shadow is very intriguing. I want something that stands out....and the color that I wont get sick of easily or bored of most importantly. Would like to enjoy driving my car for awhile.....

thoughts??? =) thanks!

I've owned both colors...go with the Graphite. Everyone has a white car...Infiniti's graphite is unique ;)

I'm liking the Blue Slate color right now...I think with a graphite interior, it would be great!

I think the G's sweetest ext colors are Wht and Blk. I had a difficult time finding mine (wht w/stone interior). In my area the wht G is a rare find. Almost settled for blue slate w/blk interior, sure am glad i waited. Something that intigues you now may not in the future. +1 for White :)

Thanks Guys!

You are right....white ext with a blk interior is hard to find....the dealership is actually going to be sending a driver 2 hours away to pick it up for me.

Does white with black interior look weird???????

My reasoning behind the white is that it stands out more and its easier to hide scratches (God forbid it happens) dirt ect. I heard the graphite shows scratches or flaws more easily. But it seems the graphite is the color that makes the color look classier.

SO......everyone.... which color is classier/sexier? =)

still leaning towards white with black interiror....why black interior? bc tan gets messed up fast!

i agree. the black interior is the best. i ended up getting liquid platinum with the black interior. white with either stone or wheat interior was a deal breaker for me. :eek:

they had other colors with the black interior but the silver just looked so elegant so i ended up going home with one. :dblthumb:

I got the white with graphite (black) interior. They are very rare if you don't get the S. I was able to get the only one in California at the time of my purchase. It was my first choice and I looked high and low for it. Almost settled for a blue slate with graphite interior but was lucky to find the ONLY white with black in Cali. No regrets. I love the infinit white because of the pearlescent effect it has. It's not a boring white. My mom has the white M35 and loved it. Graphite Shadow is nice, but it's going to show scratches easier like all dark colors. here's my white with graphite interior:

Joe603,
I'm not knocking the GS color, since that's the color of my 2010 sedan, but I thought your statement about the Infiniti's graphite being unique was funny. I have a 2005 Ram Hemi, sitting next to my G37 in the garage and they both look like the identical same color. The Ram p/u color I think is called mineral gray.

I see a majority of "silver" G's around here, followed by black and then red. White is the least seen and one setup properly looks fabulous ;)

Sniper-
I guess this dealership really wanted my business because one dealership was forcing me to buy a car with stuff I didnt want just because its what they had in their inventory (white ext, tan int, with wood)-i didnt want wood. anyway they didnt even offer to see if they could find one. And also, they kep saying "oh well somenoe else may buy it so you should put a deposit down so we can hold it, blah blah blah' but im glad i didnt because I contacted another dealer and they were willign to locate and send a driver 2 hour away to get the car today so I can have it by tonight!!! it was a tough find, but the woman who helped me was great and she foudn the white with black interior, at a great price. by the way...the dealership was Willow grove..and I will NEVER buy a car from there again. Kutos to "holman infinti" in maple shade NJ. =)

Yes, the woman from Holmann Infiniti was really nice to me, but I went with Ardmore because they were way closer to my house, and they matched Holmann's offers. I got a bad feeling about Willow Grove.

White is very classy. Graphite shadow is very sexy & sporty. I saw a black G with stone interior; it was a nice look, like a Guiness & Harp.

Yes so I went Holman infiniti because they were the ones that put in the time and effort to find the car that I was going to be 100% happy with. Also, they didnt rush me which made me feel better.

Willow grove called me again this morning, after i told them I didnt want the car they were pushing on me and was upfront (event though i didnt have to be). I was basically yelled at on the phone by the salesman and he basically told me that I wasn't going to be able to get my services done at WG (its the closest infinti to me) and that i wouldnt get special treatment if i did come. I was extremely pissed off and FWD the email to holman which forwarded to their regional manager -at least thats what they said. BUt to make up for HOW willow grove treated me.... Holman told me that if i want to get serviced by them...they were willing to send one of their drivers 30 minutes to my house to drop off a loaner, and then pick up mine to get it serviced. NOW THAT IS EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE. And that is how you get a customer coming back for more.

I absolutley LOVE MY CAR. and couldnt have been more happier leaving.
++++1500 over kelly blue book for my trade, which was a major plus!!!! =)

Thanks everyone for your help! I'll add pics soon! =)

congrats...i'm so glad i didn't settle for another color either. coincidently, the dealer that had the only white with graphite in California was also the dealer where my mom bought her M last year. so as a return customer, they gave me the best deal out of any dealership could have.

Once I saw white on the lot up close shining in the sun i almost drooled and fell over. :crazy: I think i was floating in the air when the dealer took me back in to sign the papers lol. luckily i had already worked out a deal over the phone before i came in to look at the car. i would have been the biggest sucker on the lot.

The stock GS color and the anniversary color are the same, as far as I know.
