Im buying an 06 SL this weekend with charcoal interior. I will be getting the touring package with it. However, im torn between super black exterior or midnight blue. Help me out! Im going to have to drive much farther to purchase the blue one however the black one is pretty close.
Also, the vehicle already comes with cargo area protector, floormats, splash guards, and roof rails. Any other accessories i might ask the dealer to throw in?
Thanks! |

Black is a pain in the arse to keep clean. Blue is slightly better.
Both colors look great when they are clean. Black stays clean for 5 minutes blue stays clean for 10.

I have the Black. (GM's right, it's sweet when it's shiny)
I like the Blue too.
I saw a white one yesterday, man it was sweet!
That copper color is a real eye catcher too.
I really like the Burgandy...
Black? Blue? I don't think it will really matter.
Enjoy! |

| Had a black Maxima before, now a blue Murano. Can't go wrong with either, but I admit I prefer the blue. |

LOL... no joke! I have Midnight Blue... and it shows dust almost as quickly. I prefer the blue however... it shows streaking/scratching less than the gloss black. ANY imperfection on Black paint will show. But the MO looks reallyi awesome in black when clean.

| Now, after looking at the pics on this webpage, im liking the white with tan interior. Ahhhh, I dont know what to pick. Is the cafe latte leather hard to keep clean? It looks so nice though... |

I have super black but would have loved to own white with tan leather and gold trim. |

I have owns 3 black cars before and the glacier pearl(white)is the best color I have own just because the main fact that I dont have to be all over the car all the time to keep it clean and also white cars are one of the favorites colors in cars by consumer.
I love the 2 tones color combinations in the cafe latte int.
Go to the dealer and compare int. you will see the difference, cafe latte looks to me more classy than dark colors int. |

| I love the blue. I would however go for white. I have Gold and it is basically maintenance free, though right now I would go for white. Murano looks great in white..... |

My choice would be the dark blue. The dealer I bought mine from had a blue demo and I liked it although I do prefer lighter colors. I have had black cars before and the dark colors tend to heat up too quickly in our very hot summers and as others have said before it's hard to keep black clean.
I ended up buying a platinum Mo. which is really a fancy name for silver.
As far as external accessories, I had the weathershields fitted to both front side doors and they really keep the wind away when the windows are down. Great on nice days.
I know you'll enjoy whichever one you get!! |

I think the blue w/cafe interior is a killer combo - mix that with the chrome SL wheels and :eek: :cool: :D
We test drove the white w/cafe - I felt like I should be driving in Florida (no offense Homer). It just seemed like it'd be more at home in a retired couple's garage.
White w/black - very sharp. That was the same combo I had in the Typhoon. Black leather is HOT! (and not in a sexy kinda way). |

| I have had the BLACK murano for almost a year now. If you have a lot of extra time i would suggest the black. By extra time I mean so u can be out in the garage every day. Black is beautiful when its clean. But if you live in a windy area forget that color. A good supply of cleaning towels should come with the murano.:7: |

Stand out from the crowd.... get silver LOL.
If I'd do it again, I'd go for white. |

I ascribe to the Henry Ford principle of car color "They can have any color they want so long as its black." :p :p
I love my black Murano with tan interior. The contrast in colors is sharp. I also find that the heat is not an issue with the black Murano - specially after opening the sunroof.
Of course, I'm a bit biased. My last car was a black Chevy Camaro. The car before that was a black Nissan Sentra SE (the slightly sporty version sold in '87). |

Jim C.....I had a black '90 Sentra SE. Great car but showed swirl marks like mad. From that went to a white '99 maxima SE 5 speed. Now on to silver. The silver looks good dirty, and looks really good clean.
I used to spend alot of time washing the rides, but now that I have a 65 mile commute one way, I don't really worry too much about it. I get hit by all sorts of things, rocks, pieces of tire, even a shoe once, and once it rains or snows, it's back to dirty.
As far as colors go, the blue is sharp, but so is the black. I would go with the blue, with caffe interior. Just my 2. |

| I had the Pearl blue and I must admit, I do not miss the weekly upkeep trying to keep it clean. I do not think it will be much less maintenance than the black. The blue color is very deep/dark and also shows swirl marks. If I had it to do over again, which I probably will once my kids are on there own :D , I would go with the white or the silver. Everything shows up on the Midnight Blue and certainly on the black. |

just an opinion about swirl marks,
I say its all depends how you wash your car , I used to own a burgundy 98 s-10 blazer bought it brand new and the paint just looked like day 1 and I used to live in chicago where road salt and dirt gets thicker over the car paint, since day 1
I never went thru a brush automatic car wash or used the brush at the self wash either I always used the water pressured nozzle and spend lots of quarter goin over and over with the pressured soap or water until all dirt comes off and also follow the instruction at the bay wash, low pressured soap to soft the dirt then high pressured clean water.
rubbing a sponge over a dirty car cause swirl marks. |

| looks gorgeous enamurno. i think nissan problem is that they have a very soft paint. even the triple coat glacier pearl find chips easily is excellent when it comes to swirls and scratches. of course i only wash it at the pressure wand washes in the winter and entirely by hand in the summer. |
|

| Not to hijack the thread, but you guys are right. I will never again go through a car wash with brushes, no matter how tempting. I believe that is what helped the swirling on my Mo. Now back to the thread: If it must be blue or black - Go with the Blue Pearl, it is absolutely beautiful when clean. |

O.K. The weekend is just about over. What did you decide? Super Black or Midnight Blue?

Welp, i bought it yesterday. I got a 06 Glacier Pearl SL with touring package. I totally changed my mind from black or blue and went completely different to white. I think the combo of the white and the cafe latte leather were perfect. Also, the fact i dont have to wash it as much.
I got it from Santa Monica Nissan here in California. My purchase price was $31,505. I got a couple hundred under invoice which im happy with. Ultimately, I wanted the blue with cafe latte but I was in a hurry and those are too hard to find around here.
Btw, im loving the Murano. I traded in my 2003 BMW 325i for it. Its a huge change from that car. All I can say is it is a very smooth ride. Im in the process of driving it like a grandpa and breaking it in nicely. |
