IMO is RED. Just a nice candy apple RED. It looks SWEET on a MAX, of ANY gen.

Majestic Blue gets second place
Super Black gets third
White gets fourth
Gray Lustre gets fifth

What do you guys think?

SUPER BLACK

i think super black maxima look good on 4th gen maxima, eventho i got the beige metallic one(it was a good deal). for the 5th gen i think the midnite blue or neptun blue wutever look the best!

I think...

the starfire blue looks awesome. The 4th gen limited edition bright red is pretty cool too. I like those cause they're pretty rare. For day-to-day average maxima sightings I like black the most hehe.

That Pearl White looks good to me too. I know my least favorite color too, Black Emerald. It fades into different colors on the same car, has all of the bad attributes of black (shows dirt easily, scratches easily) and not one good one. And it seems to be the most popular color in the area (I can find five black emeralds within one mile of where I am without even trying in ten minutes). I think that I'm gonna paint it a different color, black I guess, so that it matches up with what my title says.

Hmm, weird. I see a few black emerald 3rd gens here, but the majority of 4rd gens are pearl,silver and oatmeal, etc. still lotsa white ones, but not much black or blue. very few black emerald 4th gens at all.

I'm in NY, and almost all of them are modded GXEs and SEs, ALL with those god awful green clearancelights and turn signals in the front. Now I need to do something else to make mine look different.

Hey NYC people, what are the colors that you see most often on Maximas? I could swear that most of the people around the NY Metro area have this color. It may just be in my head, but I'm going to keep track of the number of Maximas that I see for like the next two days and get back to you on this. Hell, there are a total of three black emeralds just on the block that I am on.

Do any of you think it would be sweet to have a Max painted like a shiny silver color with chrome wheels? I think that would be sweet! kinda like the bottom half of the Max pictured in that ad banner at the top of the screen for "tirerack.com". Im sure not everyone will agree but i think they should make at least one

I like black cars, but to me the Rosewood and the Blue are very clean looking and less frequently seen. So my choices would be:
*Neptune Blue
*Rosewood
*Super Black

I'd say superblack, but so many 4th gen's are black, or emerald green, which looks black from a distance, that is kind of spoils it.

You sure it is Black emerald you hate? Personally I like the Dark Blue from 95, Black Emerald, and Rosewood. . . The thing I have noticed about the Black Emerald though is that is is very inconsistant from car to car. . . It is impossible to get correct touch up paint.
