Black Cherry?

DarkZ · 08-05-2012, 12:18 PM

After driving a Black Cherry Z for a couple of years now, I am of the firm belief that Nissan should change the name to Brown Sugar.

I also know a UPS driver that is really jealous.

Yep, thinking of trading in too.

I was pressured into buying a black cherry by the dealer but decided firmly against it, the color just can't decide what it wants to be

and imo its a

color

In certain lighting my BC ends up looking like this, and I am sooo glad I have it. Very glad I didn't get a flashy color as I think it just screams "ricer" or "pull me over"

I was interested in this color until I saw it in person at the dealership. They had the car inside and as I was walking around it with my pops, we both looked at each other and at the same time said it looks more like turd brown. Now I've seen the car in natural day light numerous times and it looks okay, not turd brown, but not my cup of tea still. If I was going to pick one of the "specialty" colors chicane yellow would have to be it.

I almost bought one...2011 black cherry with the orange interior...i decided to go with a 2010 black on black for the same price..color is the most important to me....i would just vinyl wrap the car for 2K and call it a day.

Up here in Canada we don't have black cherry, we have black rose.
I wonder why the difference but I like the color anyways.

Wow, this is an old thread but I'll bite.

I traded in my MB Coupe for my current BC Roadster. I got the same complaints from guys a lot younger then me, saying it was a chick color, or it's sky blue...wtf?
This color does not photograph for sure. You walk up close to it, and it kind of changes color on you, but in a good way. I don't think it shows the dirt as bad as the other colors do personally.

wheee! · 08-05-2012, 06:04 PM

lol... the dirt shows.... my daily fight trying to keep this colour clean! I bought the car for my wife, but it's mine now lol. I like the colour. People always comment on how they thought it was black until they got a closer look. Very rare to see these IMHO.
Good choice! My buddy bought a roadster too. Here they are together for a sleepover while I installed new breathing mods for him....

I considered black cherry until I saw it in person. My wife said "Is that it?" in that tone the expressed her opinion without saying it.

danegrey · 08-05-2012, 06:55 PM

black cherry for me, like the way it changes color based on the light, get lots of comments on the color.... Never thought of another color....

It's the same color, just a different name. In Australia, the hue is referred to as "Bordeaux"
