Default White is right.

I believe white is the new black/red/silver.

Everything I see in this new sort of white, whatever it is looks excellent.

That Cayman in the other thread, the S, that Z4M hardtop off here, I even saw a 3 series annoying mobile with a hardtop and that looked great as well.

I say, MORE WHITES PLEASE.

I agree CC.

Saw a brand new 57 plate M3 in white yesterday and its the first time that I have actually thought that the new M3 looked good.

Stunning actually.

I agree. That clever white makes it look different.

Yes I noticed Merc are using white cars in some of their new ads, and a lot of the dealers are saying white is the new cool.

Think me and Dave (Blurter) were saying that about 2 years ago after the Golf GTI launched.

Wanted a white S when I ordered the yellow one, but Honda are typically slow mon the up take...

They aren't the only ones, Nissan UK still haven't figured out that the 350Z looks great in white either.

It seems that it's just the Germans that have realised that white is cool and all there cars are available to order in white.

Having said that, it could be because most German cars are built to order whereas most Jap cars are bulk ordered and then sold.

Disagree. White cars look like washing machines or Stormtroopers' helmets. Only benefit to having a white car is you're less likely to get pulled over on the motorway if the cops are playing speeder snooker.
