Don't ask me why I'm wondering this, but I was just outside getting something out of my car and it struck me that I don't think I've EVER seen another black 5th-gen (outside of another one at the dealer when I bought mine) in this area. I see plenty of 5th-gens around here, but they are usually lighter colors, and the occasional dark gray/gunmetal (my buddy has one in that color).
Anyhow, just wondering if anyone has any stats on how many of each color of 5th-gens (esp. 2k) were made?

 

Yes, black 5th gens are rare... and I have one.

Me too!!!!

 

Me too. Have a black one, that is.

 

Me too, black on black.

 

2k blk on blk......I feel special......hehe

 

Me too Me too!

 

Wooooo Hooooooo! Black Max's unite!

 

Hmmmm, with all these black Max owners posting here, I dont feel special anymore.

2k b on b, i got one

 

to break this black max circle...

I usually see one or two black ones on the streets when I drive to school/work (about 10 mi one way).

I really don't think black ones are that rare either...5th gen Maxes just aren't that common in general...

I think the most rare colors (and probably for good reason) are the tungsten blue and the green...

 

I don't think black is that uncommon. What about Merlot? I rarely see that color.

 

black on grey... I wish I had black inside

 

black on black.......I don't see too many though

 

Black on black,...2000 GXE

 

Well I just bought a 2k2 and wanted any color but black and had to go through a host of them to get what I wanted.

It also seems that all the black ones are 6 spds as well and of course I wanted the faster auto.

 

I see plenty of black 5th gens. I don't see that many merlot ones at least in Boston....

 

I feel special with my Polished Titanium maxima. Now, that's rare!

 

I have black one

 

I don't think that black ones are that rare. I think my color(sheer silver), the tungsten blue, and the light blue ones are the rarest colors. At least in the area I live.

 

Black on Black/Frost leather to match the top half of the interior.
muaahahhah

 

2k1 20th AE blk on blk, i am the rarest.

 

easier to keep the grey clean

 

grey lustere and merlot red are the ones that are rare. I don't seem many of those on the road

 

Here in Houston the colors i don't see a lot of are Majestic Blue and White. Every other color is a dime a dozen at least from what i've seen, the top color on the list would be the Sunlit Sand.

 

2k3 black on black. wanted grey lustre w/ frost interior, but no dealerships had it w/o options. black is a pita to clean, but once it is, it's hot.

 

FASTER AUTO?! Please tell me you don't really think the auto is faster than the stick.

 

him will beat any 6spd out there

 

black on black AE

 

Put the same mods on a six speed and it would be faster.

 

blk on blk 03 gle.....i seen an aqua max...dont know the technical term for the color...but in my techinical terms it looked like an old man car...sorry if any1 has it im not tryin to knock on u...just old men

 

Black here

 

Not necessarily - to a certain point a manual is faster, but once a threshold is met an auto (or clutchless manual) will be faster.

The fastest vehicles i know of are all automatics.

 

Black too. Hard to keep it clean but love it

 

I have merlot

 

Yeah, there's a good reason for it. Everybody just can't handle the beauty of Tungsten Blue..
I have only seen about 2 or 3 of them since I bought my car 2 years ago.

 

Bah, up here in American-car-land I'm hard pressed to see a Max (of any gen more than a maybe twice a week) and 5.5 gens?!? Well, I'll just say it's a lonely 37-mi commute to my job amongst all those Tauruses, Impalas, Intrepids, and big 3 branded sport utes......Makes me stick out though! I would say the the darker of the silvers (sterling maybe?) and the beige are the most common, when I do see one though. I did see an 02+ a while back in a light metallic green...some middle-aged guy pimping the parking lights...lol, it was just kind of strange. BTW, what is the name of that color?

 

bump

at least they are not this color?

according to the dealer where I bought my car silver was the most common and a gray lustre was second. I'm not sure if he meant that's how nissan made them, or if he meant that's just how they were selling at that time.
