I think the chicane yellow looks rather sickly and "light colored"... in some pictures. I would be curious to see who in this thread has actually seen it in real life, because in real life it absolutely pops and commands your attention. It's amazing, really, I have gotten SO many compliments on the color alone. It's a flat paint color so there is no metallic sparkle if that's something you are looking for. It shows swirls really easily in the sunlight so keep that in mind. It's definitely somewhat of a high maintenance color but IMO it's in the top 3 of all the 370 colors. It's my personal favorite because my school colors are black and gold, but even without that bias I think it's damn sexy.

I'm not sure how this color would somehow hurt resell value as long as you're keeping up with the maintenance. In fact, it would probably be worth more because it's more rare and cost more when it was made.

Also, I've had my CY 370 next to an ultra yellow 350 and I MUCH preferred the chicane.

The only other downside, IMO, is that everyone can tell you drive an 09, but honestly that's not a huge deal for me, I don't care about the "status" or whatever, I just like the car.
