Why did they stop making Chicane Yellow Zs?

The 370Z looks completely awesome in Chicane Yellow. Why did they stop making them? Was nobody buying Zs in that color?

The Yellow paintwork was badly done at Factory,the colour of the body don't match the bumpers & fuel flap,maybe because those plastic parts are not painted....

Yellow is a technically difficult color to paint because you need to spray many, many coats to get good coverage. We all know Nissan's paint quality (or lack thereof), so it's probably for the best that Chicane Yellow was discontinued.

Like the IS300 in yellow just bad on the eyes. Exciting for a few minutes then yawn.

The 350Z came in a similar yellow (Ultra Yellow Metallic) for only 1 model year also (2005). I wonder if yellow just doesn't sell as well as the other colors. That, or it could just be a limited edition type thing.

Mr. Chicane ran out of pee. Therefore, no more Chicane yellow. His kidney's couldn't take it anymore.

I believe it was an extra $500 for chicane yellow as well.

Nissan 370Z Yellow

They also had the limited 370Z GT Pack "Yellow" in 2009.

LOL. "Some cars were just born to be yellow" Slap a number on the doors and a couple of stickers and you'd think there was a meter running inside. Kidding aside, it probably sat in the lot much longer because of the stigma attached to all yellow cars. I personally like it and I have seen a couple in SoCal. One decked out with a full amuse kit and nicely modded.

Are you talking about its370z lol? I don't think his car is Chicane yellow though but still nice.

I've always liked his car too. I remember going to West Coast Nationals with you guys. I think that's when he just brought his car over from Hawaii. I've always liked the Chicane yellow.
