I tend to think white only suits 'sports' cars. Seeing it on standard A5s and the likes just looks cheap to me. Any hot hatch suits white perfectly but the 1.2 models in white look shocking.

That TT looks lovely aswell in white, hopefully it wont date too quickly.

What about those 1.2 limited edition corsa's? They look great in white and are not a hot hatch.

Rover

As said it can't be poverty spec, when looking for a car I came across a white one, out of about 200 that I looked at, stood out massively;

Crap picture still looks better than all the other colours IMO, even red which is

Didn't think the XJ Supersport suited in on Fifth Gear



That's borderline old Range Rover with the new shape lights.

Looks OK there.

Just couldn't warm to it on the TV, looked like black grille as well which made it even more featureless.

Cheers for all the replies. It could well be a Corsa Limited Edition that we get. Also going to have a look at an Adam in the flesh on the 27th Dec.

White is a colour for vans and cars which belong to Arabians with no taste.

Here is our brand new Clio TCe in white:




Tints are being done in Jan and it looks considerably better than any other colour with the grey wheels and black bumper inserts.

Odd how people ask if to buy a white car or not as they aren't "in" anymroe and the alternative is to spec any other colour. All of which arent "in"

I'd like to know how one defines a colour being in or out.

Just seems like the people who say they are out are the ones who dont own one, and the people who say they are in do own one.

Car colour is a subjective choice. if you worry about what other people think about your choice of car colour, then you have severe daddy issues.

Interestingly all the people at Mrs Jambo's work commented on her colour being an odd choice to go for white, all drive shit old sheds.
