I would say that, across the board, PW is the #1 while MB takes the #2 slot on the NISMO cars.
The other two colors make the cars almost forgettable. Requires too much extra cosmetics to make them work. I feel the red needs way more black accents. I will take mine in white.

I have to humbly disagree with you, I may be biased... no not really, I have owned white base, silver base, and red, and the red 370z nismo looks good with any trim silver or black. It matches everything nismo has to offer. The new nismo looks F-N awesome in any color IMHO. I have a few disappointments though. The wheels not my taste (those can always be changed), the front bumper seems like overkill --too much going on--I am sure it is functional, and the rear wing doesn't look quite 370Z nismo, ---does not seem aggressive. (maybe I have to see it in person to really judge, videos and pics may not do it justice).
The rear bumper looks killer, and so does the interior! The blacked out headlights I want them!! It is unfortunate that they stopped with the numbering system. Personally speaking it makes the car feel that much more different than your regular Z other than the 40th. We buy the nismo for the extras, body, suspension, a little more power. I can not say I would upgrade to the 2015 and up, it just doesn't do it for me. I would however like to get a hold of that rear bumper, minus the reflector/fog lamp. Again just my opinion |

Fun Fact: Just because the inventory search on the Nissan website claims NISMO is at a certain dealership waiting to be sold, doesn't mean it's at the dealership. Evidently when Nissan invoices cars to a dealer, it gets posted on the Nissan inventory search. Said car could still be sitting on a cargo ship in California when that happens.
And now you know... |

just saw the 2015 370z nismo in person yesterday... it was the white one... all i have to say is YUCK... the only two things that i liked were the seats and the tech package... and the wheels are hideous... would much rather have my 2013 sport wheels... i thought i wanted one and was ready to trade my 2013 and order it... i'm keeping my 2013

Just saw a white Nismo when I brought my 40th in for service - and I'm of the opposite mind set. I want to trade in!
But it's an auto, unfortunately...

I will hopefully be picking my pearl white Nismo in 2 weeks. Waiting for insurance check to come in. But my question is do you think the lip on the rear spoiler might be changed out. It looks like it could be.

At first I was very turned off by the red accents myself and started looking at 14 (but didn't want the two tone / black either) and actually found a dealer that still has a new 13... but then the lack of Tech (which should really be basic features at this price point probably... but that's neither here nor there)....
Some of the red (on the mirrors) is a sticker, which is kinda cheap and easily removed but it grew on me and I love it now. Subtle enough but still has that pop to accent the aero and also matches the Nismo theme. I liked silver in person but was floored by pearl white. Then it was just a matter of finding 6MT... Not a fan of black cars, but was also impressed when I saw one on the lot. Haven't seen red in person. |

If my car was fully paid off (another few years to go, just in time for the Z35), and I wouldn't have to start all over again with modding/tuning, I'd try and swap out my 2011 touring sport for a 2015 Nismo in black (or white) in a heart beat
I very much love the new body kit and interior amenities. I hope the Z35 keeps a lot of those design cues. Personally, I really like the wheels -- I was never a huge fan of the (in my view) overly "artsy" design of the Z34 sport pack wheels.

I did at first miss the bigger spoiler and may consider something like an Evo R... but the front of the car is perfection. I also am perfectly fine with the 2015 Nismo rims more than the 2014 and no real desire or intention to swap them for anything.
Before getting the car I was inclined to get the Amuse STTI Gold Ring and still may at some point, but I am not at all dissatisfied with the stock HKS exhaust. |

I hated the red accents with black at first I couldn't find any decent pictures of black. All the good pictures I saw was white. I took a little trip to see black in person and decided I liked the way it looked. I get compliments on the red accents all the time now it's usually one the first things people mention. While I don't have a true 2015 Nismo styling wise I think they nailed it pretty well. I don't like the fender flares though. One guy with a Nismo removed them on his white one and it looks much better. He does have a drop and wheels too.

I like the red the best because the accents don't stand out as much. Also Solid Red is just such a kick-*** color.
I also like the black because, well, it's black. |
