love white, my scoob is my first white car, the three previous were all blue; it's hard to keep clean though!!

i know a lot of cars seem to come in white now, but for me it works best on the sportier/motorsport orientated cars :)

Petem95 23 January 2010 12:10 PM

Yep loving white cars also! Someone at work has just picked up a new A4 S-line in white and it looks fantastic! I do think it's just down to current trends however, and if I was buying a brand new car I'd still almost always go for black or dark grey.

StickyMicky 23 January 2010 04:46 PM

Majority of my cars have been white to be honest, they just look so crisp and sweet when looked after.

RB5SCOTT 23 January 2010 11:30 PM

When i finally get a GT3 it will be in white but am starting to like this solid grey colour lately :)

white is one of the easiest colours to keep clean + you dont see swirls in the paint.when polished they look great
cheers geo

beef-on-the-bone 11 March 2010 10:56 PM

yeah, not keen on that!! :(

Trout 11 March 2010 11:01 PM

I looks lovely in Lunar Grey :D

Scoobychick 12 March 2010 07:01 AM

White seems to be the new black but it doesn't work with all cars. I think the above Jag is a good example of that :D

As we've just ordered a new car in white I've been noticing other white cars a lot more and have seen a lot of expensive 10 plate motors sporting this seemingly fashionable new colour :thumb:

zip106 12 March 2010 08:55 AM

It will go out of fashion as quick as it came in.

A mate of mine who's a dealer says he's stopped buying in white cars unless they're extreme sports cars.
I've heard this from a few others, too.

RAJ27 12 March 2010 09:06 AM

I think the MK5 Golf Gti has revived the white cars and made them cool again. Always think of white cars back in the 80's, Porsche 944s, Lambo Countach, Ford Escort RS and Sierra Cosworths.

JulioJordio2 12 March 2010 10:39 AM

I had the exact same porsche in the same colour outside work yesterday and i was just DROOLING! Had Black Alloys on it and it just looked gorgeous.

jay1601 12 March 2010 10:44 AM

some cars do look good in white but only if they are well maintained

Matteeboy 12 March 2010 10:51 AM

I like BMW 3 series coupes in white but a lot of them around now.

Works on some cars, utterly hideous on others.

An example:

stilover 12 March 2010 10:54 AM

Remember when the "IN" colour was Turquoise?

Next door neighbour had a Turquoise Nova. Horrible.

Matteeboy 12 March 2010 11:02 AM

My sister has a beaten up old mk3 Golf in a sort of turquoise colour - minging. I blame Laura Ashley.

Brown (metallic) seems to be making a comeback and can look okay. Can't find pic but the latest T5 VW Caravelle has a met brown option and it's the best colour for it IMO.

yep i had a mk4 rs turbo cabriolet (j943 yoo) lowered 45mm with a full bodykit and nice big alloys all painted in diamond white with a white fabric roof and a blue/white engine bay and it looked the tits wish i still had it :(. i love white but it has to be on the right car to look good, some cars are just pants in white.

M4RKG 12 March 2010 11:25 AM

Before my white STi I've had a white Volvo T5 ex-plod car with standard black alloys and it looked mint... obviously my two white cars havent been as white as newer models but nonetheless still a mint colour, espesh with black touches here and there (wheels, bonnets, roofs, vents and what not)

austinwrx 12 March 2010 11:59 AM

my 75 yr old mother, on the basis they are safer and people can see you.

she's mainly had white cars in 50 odd yrs of driving.

BMW seem to be into it's Metallic Browns lately. Most of the Brochure shots for the X1 have it coloured Brown.

Indeed and although not a fan of the X1, I think it looks okay in that colour.

stilover 12 March 2010 12:17 PM

In the Brochure, the X1 looks quite good. Went to my local dealer for a test drive. Didn't bother with the test drive, as in the flesh, the car looks sh!t.

Matteeboy 12 March 2010 12:32 PM

It does indeed. As does the X3. Only the X5 is acceptable and for some odd reason, I quite like the X6 too.

Bang goes any shred of credibility I may have ever had...

stilover 12 March 2010 12:51 PM

You didn't have any. Not on here anyway. ;)

Matteeboy 12 March 2010 12:53 PM

No loss then. That's something I guess.

R 14NS R 16 March 2010 09:35 PM

we are still selling loads of white cars, lots of a class, all the e class coupes and cabs we can get hold of, 2 slk55 s in white, s320 with amg kit, all white white white, can not get hold of enough white cars at the momment.
