Love white! I fully intend on getting white for my next car. I guess i'm a perfect example of the trend, ready to go from silver to white. I really find the silver to be pretty boring.

I especially like white on sports cars that have accents (air intakes etc..), creates great contrast. For example the new M3 looks sweet in white.

I'm just waiting for the tree huggers to blame this on global warming.

I can dig white. I think cars that look like Stormtroopers are cool.

Bad news for paint shops... white is the hardest color to match/blend.

What can I say? Every vehicle we have is white except for the HOP ROD. Besides, White was the original official racing color for Germany 'till the mid 30's. We like it's understated elegance.

I have to admit that when I was looking for my first Boxster I wanted a white one with tan interior. I saw a used one for sale on the internet being sold by Hendricks Porsche in NC and almost flew down there one way to purchase and drive back to NJ. I chickened out! Ended up with my second favorite choice, Guards red. I am a family of white cars: Wife white RAV4, son #1 white Passat, Son #2 white Infinity, motorcycle-white CBR 1000. It runs in your blood...
