Gun metallic or red?

metalmynx · 06-27-2013, 10:39 AM

I need some opinions. I lease a 2011 370z with the sport package, gun metallic, recently I got offered an deal from the same dealer I got the car from that puts me in a 2013 model with $100 less of a monthly payment and no cash out of pocket. Nothing not to like about that.

The question is - do I get another gun metallic, which I really love, or go for red which I've never seen in person but I am sure I'd like? The dealer has found a gun metallic one, but it's a few hundred miles away. The red one is closer so they are trying to sway me that way but I just don't know. Any opinions? Get a different color to try something new or go with what I had?

I love the Gun Metallic. Red isn't my style. I like the idea of changing it up, but I think the Midnight Blue is the only color that I would choose over the Gun Metallic.

The red is nice in person, the only thing is that I feel like the headlights and LEDs on the '13 kind clash....

If we're talking about the new Magma Red for 2013 I agree - it's the one I just bought a couple months ago and it's killer looking. More of a burnt-orange than a red. In fact, here's a picture of it in my driveway:

Original hi-res can be gotten here:

Hi-res version

I saw both recently. The red really stands out if you want to be noticed.

GM is more subtle.

Easy answer: get both.

I'd get a red one since you already had a GM. New color or body style will always get you excited, at least for few days.

peleincubus · 06-27-2013, 11:49 AM

How did you get $100 less a month?? I though these cars msrp has been going up

the last dark colored car i had was a bird crap accident magnet.

So now the question to op is you want to get a parking lot accident magnet or a bird crap accident magnet.

Solid Red or Magma Red? If it is Magma I would choose that over GM. But as JARblue said Midnight Blue would be my choice as well in a '13.

We have way too many colors designated as MB by the way...gets me
