i would have to agree..but i wouldnt say "least popular" because at least polished titanium is a limited color. as far as the other two...did nissan make less of those colors? or did fewer people buy those colors? (cart / horse)

I hardly see the Pearl White, but that may be because I am in CA. It seems that most people have black here.

yeah i guess 'least popular' wasn't the correct term...maybe the most rare? I do think that nissan made less of the tungsten blue's because weren't those only available on the 2k2s? i've only seen like 3 (none of which on the road..just online) so either there just weren't many made or they were, in fact, the 'least popular' color

Tungsten blue...

How about someone call Nissan and ask em how many of each color they made... then we'll know for sure the color that is truly the rarest... but wait, this information matters because...

I believe the Tungsten blue is the rarest color of them all. I remember when I was shopping for a 5th gener, I had looked at one. It was a 2K or 2K1 model. It was a light blue color. I didn't even bother to drive it, because I really didn't dig the color. As far as Sunlit Sand (like I have now), this color has been around since the 1999 model. My '95 was Black Emerald....I wish they would bring this color back!

Polished Titanium has a clean sleek look to it. That was my first choice til I was talked out of clean and sleek, and encouraged to go with dark and sexy. (car, not me) I think that is my favorite color aside from black. It is a rarity along with the tungsten blue, but polished titanium was only produced for the 03 model, so it stands along the same lines as an AE. I'm just pleased that Nissan took it upon themselves to produce a few lines that were limited. Seems to be the cleanest color to me, but what do I know, it's all just my .02

Yes, this is definately the worst color in the world! How could Nissan ever have come up with a color that was so horrific to mod.

Not really. Aside from the stupid looking rear windowspoiler, that max is modded very nicely. Looks excellent, would look better without the hunk of plastic and any other color. But thats just my opinion.

I have seen quite a few Merlots, Pearls, and black.

yep, merlot is great looking color
when you clean it up, it looks great in the sun and at night it looks sweet in the city lights, has a nice metalic flake look to it
+ having a black interior to go with it is just perfect

I was being sarcastic.......people said they didn't like the merlot, and I was pointing out that you can have a change of heart once it's transformed to look this nice. Please read prior posts.
