Yeah it wouldn't hurt to have a dark blue metallic in the lineup. I like the Ultrasonic Blue Mica that Lexus uses on the IS-F also.The red does look nice! It has some kind of hue of orange when hit by sunlight! All the colors look awesome! I wish there was an athens blue so it wouldnt be that hard of a choice for me!

I'd love to see like an Imperial Blue sort of color, but maybe one or two shades lighter.

Yeah, the European brands are famous for bold, flat colors like alpine white and signal red, but those colors work better with flatter cars. I think a Cadillac would look great in flat colors as well. But the curves and flow of Infiniti's gets lost with flat paint. I'm glad they went with a candy apple red, it looks super deep and the variations in shade where lines split look beautiful. Plus, flat red always ages horribly. I can't count the number of (average) red cars that aren't faded or don't have busted clear coat on them. For some reason it just happens.
Has anyone seen a Q50 in Obsidian or Malbec yet? Obsidian is the flattest color they have but being black and super shiny, it should still show off the lines to a certain extent. Malbec is just so hard to photograph...

I think the only real footage we have of the Black or Malbec Black was in a split second shot in one of the track videos posted in the videos forum
I was hoping for the q50 to come in athens blue as well. Too bad, that was such a nice vibrant color it would have gone along with the contours of the Q50 just fine.The red does look nice!

Ya, i know man! I mean the Hagane Blue is nice and all but I like the Athens Blue since it looks more sporty while the Hagane Blue seems to be more elegant than aggressive/sporty! Oh well...still awesome colors though!

The red at the NY autoshow had more of a deeper ruby red color than orange in the pics. I wonder if the colors of the camera are calibrated properly? The grass in the background was a bit "vibrant" I prefer reds that have more of a raspberry/black tone.
