i just dont get white cars
Discussion
o.k i know the trend is for white cars, but i see a new white car, black alloys and just think, why did you do it, it looks st.
i saw a 135m sport in white and another in orange, i thought why would anybody buy a white one, or i am missing something, where did all the colour go.
We just seem to be left with white, grey, battleship grey and light grey cars. is it because accountants all drive them?
I know people will post to cars in white and say how good looking they are and the paint technologies have made they better, but it just feel so dumbed down, so porridge.

Couldn't agree more. My guess is a lot of cars are leased and lease companies want the easy resale colours. BMW used to do some gorgeous colours (Techno Violet and Mystic Blue spring to mind) - how often do you see a BMW in any other colour other than the ones mentioned in the OP?
When I was looking for a new car last year, I had 2 requirements.
1. Not diesel (don't do enough mileage)
2. Not silver, grey or white (or any variation)
I ended up with a Burnt Orange MG6. Not everyone's cup of tea I'll be the first to admit, but I like it and a year on it still stands out. Makes it very easy to find in a car park as well

Iv got a Alpine white 130i which is quite rare I think ,it's a lot easier to keep clean than any other colour car iv owned, you only know its dirty when you start to wash it
I originally set out wanting anything but black, blue was top of the order but after I'd seen the alpine white my mind was made up!.When an orange/lime green etc rolls past I do ogle but there not for me
I'm no accountant either
Cue a st load of pictures of white cars, might aswell rename thread show me your white car lol

I like white cars. Porridge, you say? More like Miami Vice! This is England. Our green and pleasant land has all the earth tones we need in its natural scenery. I'm not a huge fan of black wheels, but whatever - they're only a small part of the car.
If it comes to grey, on the other hand, I'll be happy to sign the petition. fk grey, that's what I say. I've got a grey car, and while I mostly like it very much, that's because I'm usually sat inside it rather than looking at it. The colour is st. "Silver", the manufacturer claims. "bks", I say. It's shiny grey. And that's if I'm being generous.
(Its one saving grace is that, when clean, the wheels do match the paint, and the rubbing strips match the tyres. On the rare occasions I have it washed, it has this nice grey-black-grey-black thing going on, and visually, I think that looks quite good... for a car that's fking grey. I prefer the white-black-white colouring of that Honda.)
