White cars... I mean, why..???

[zygalski]

Can someone who doesn't live in Bracknell please explain the allure of spending 60k on a lovely new Audi or BMW & being persuaded that solid white is a good choice of colour.
I like to think I'm an especially observant chap & this phenomenon seems to have been occurring on our roads with increased regularity over the last few weeks.

Thanks in advance

I've had two white cars and think they looked great, the one in particular I think looked better white than any other colour it was available in.

I also chose a new car in white for my previous car - but this was 3 and a half years ago. Hopefully ahead of the ops qualms

I am old enough to remember when white cars were last fashionable.
March 1989 if memory serves.

Mines White. I like it.

I couldn't give a rats ass if you don't.

Cheers

Depends on the car to a certain extent but I'd take white every time over silver - maybe it's down to personal choice?
What colour should they be choosing?

It's ok, I feel your pain, brother.
It will still surely be worth something come August.

Or late 82/early 83 on

Red will make a comeback in 5 years time. Fashion is a strange thing really. A 'bored human' phenomenon.

[Changedmyname]

We all have our choices,mines RED.

[IanMorewood]

Better than silver I think you have to agree.

[Streps]

I used to associate it with poverty spec fiesta Vans..

But i saw a white Honda NSX and a 370z and it swayed my take on it somewhat.
Prefer it to the supermarket silver epidemic of a few years ago...

Looks fantastic to me - brilliant pic in EVO the other month in the track comparison

White is out of fashion now and has been for the last 6 months. By summertime, it will become more apparent.
