I'm on the fence on the 370z I'm planing to buy towards the end of winter or mid-spring when the potholes are filled. I'm torn between Silver and white. I'm planing on getting base sport. If you have a 370 in either white or silver please post!! I can't decided on the color. My brother has a 350z in black so I can't really copy his color. I have a Red Altima but color boring after having 3 red cars now. Opinions welcome for either white or silver pro and cons.Thanks

Your post has me torn between them now haha. I really like white on a vehicle and the 370 is no exception. Both colors look great. I would like to have one in white though. Santa if your listening......

If you're lazy choose silver, all other things being equal it will look cleaner than a white car. But both of them will look cleaner than black.

My personal preference is for white.

SILVER!!! ;)

Just as BB said, Silver always looks clean. I keep multiple coats of Zaino on my Z. The other day at work I had a guy ask me how I keep my car so clean and shiney. IT WAS FILTHY!! Just doesnt show it.

I love my car. Base model. Got a Hellofa deal 'cause it was a '10 and the '11s had been out a while. Took it first thing and got a new stereo in it. You wouldn't believe all the people that think I have a really expensive car. They are amazed when I tell them I only spent $28k for it. I love that car. Adding a diffuser as soon as I get my lazy azz to order it.

Buy it....you won't be sorry.

I misread your post.

Go with white. Silver is too common.

between the two colors you've chosen you definitely can't go wrong with either. White looks amazing on this car but so does the silver....outside of those two, however, my preference lies with the Black Cherry :boink:

I'm more then likely going with SIlver. Although the white in that pic looks nice. I've been looking around at photos comparing each other I think the Silver brings out some more detail then the white. I know silver is the most common color out there but I haven't seen any 370z in my neighborhood. There mostly Audis, bmws, and then soccer mom suvs and trucks.

White looks great, but personally I like the silver better. It's the more popular color for a reason.

Silver is more popular for the simple reason that people are lazy. When silver gets dirty it turns into darker silver when black gets dirty it looks like crap

In 2010 (or 2011, can't remember), white dethroned silver and became the most popular color for new cars. White with black accents is really "in" right now, and there's a reason or it, it looks damn clean:

Image

When I bought my 350z, I had a hard time choosing between black and white but ended up going with black because I believe white doesn't look as good out of the box. Silver wheels, and those silver door handles on a white 350z just didn't look quite right. Put some black wheels and tint the windows, then white looks a lot better, but I didn't want to go through that trouble.

Anyway, these are all my crazy opinions, in the end the 370z will look good in either color. Good luck!

That is one of my FAVORITE commercials ever. I would pull mine into a Maxima if I knew I could smush it back into a Z.
