I bought a blue one because it was a steal...it wasn't even one of my color choices...my top choices were yellow and white...but at $26.8k with only 3k miles with sport package and a $1500 Eclipse navi already installed, it was a no brainer for me to pick up that blue one...I was hesitant at first...it looked good in pictures, though I had never seen a blue in person before.
When I stepped out of the airport, the seller pulled up the ramp, and I was at awe at the color. It was one of those things where a sports car should stand out and be flashy...the blue is a hella flashy color...you will be noticed on the road, just like the yellow. The color is gorgeous and looks good on the car. When you see a hot yellow sports car on the road, you will notice it in the crowd. Well, this blue is the same way...it's not the typical dull blue that you see in all the other cars...
I guess if you're deciding between black and blue, the way to look at it is, if you want to just blend into the crowd and be noticed only when the entire vehicle is in view, then get the black...however, if you want your car to be noticed and immediately recognized, then get the this blue one...In my opinion, sports cars are the only cars that can get away with a loud color (such as yellow, black, limegreen (on the Lamborghini), etc...)...yellow wouldn't look right on a Camry, nor do you want a Monterrey Blue Accord...however, on the 370Z, that blue is just screaming sexy....I bought the car and paid for it before I ever saw it in person...I went up and met up with the seller and met him for no more than 5 minutes and drove home...I was really nervous at first about the color, but do this, have someone pull up to you in a blue one, you will not have any regret after that...
And one more thing, I've been the car business for over 7 years. And when we have certain colors we have to move, we tend to tell customers what we want them to hear. "Oh, this is the classiest color...you need to get this color because this color was MADE for this car...oh, don't you worry about resale value? this car will guarantee the best residual in the future...I'm not gonna tell you what to pick, but for me, if I was to buy this car, I wouldn't want to have the color that everyone else has, I would only buy "THIS" color...blah blah blah". You get the picture....
