Again thanks for the welcome.

Mine did the same thing even after several months. Because its about -30F outside right now, i don't hang around long enough after i park to listen. But its normal and nothing to worry about.
Enjoy your new car.

I do like the black 6th gens. However my last car was black and I vowed never to own a black car ever again. They look sooooo sweet when they are new, clean, and scratch free. But after a couple years of constantly trying to keep it clean, polishing out swirls, and cringing every time I brushed snow off it during the winter I can't go back to living that way. lol Silver gives me much more time to enjoy the car, and not worry about the paint.

Black looks good. Only thing with Black is that it shows swirls like crazy. No matter how hard I try to keep mu wife's black Murano looking new, the paint shows swirls.
That's why I bought the Coral Sand Maxima for me!
Color preferences vary, hence why the Maxima comes in so many colors to choose from.

Agreed black looks good...when clean. But it's so hard to keep for more than 10 minutes. You practically have to get out and wipe it down at every stop light!!! 
And I'm so **** I probably would if I had too!!!
That's why I've stayed away from dark cars, this is my 2nd silver car in a row...

One question though I am noticing a wierd ping noise which sounds like it is the exhaust expanding & contracting after I park the car. It lasts about 15 minutes or so and from what I can tell appears to be coming from the big straight exauhast pipe where the braided stell material attaches to it. I know this is probably just because it is all new and the pipes most likely have to heat cycle awhule befor the metal stops reacting to temperature so much but did you notive this on your maxima and if so about how long did it take to settle down?

Hey Bob,
I am enjoying the weather here!
It's absolutely perfect here.
I am watching the weather channel and I can't believe how windy and cold it is there. So glad I don't live in NY in January anymore! I would probably have a heart attack if my Max had 14 inches of snow on it!
Black does show swirls but only really if you look real close. I love the look of black when you can get it to shine.
You guys back in the Northeast be carerful driving one other thing I don't miss is the loser people who can't drive in the snow.
