When my wife was recently looking at new cars, a lot of them had white as one of the standard colours. Most people don't want to fork out a fortune for other colours hence the popularity.

Why the manufacturers have recently made white standard is another question - cost?

Flat White, Red and Black have been standard non option colours for some time. This is why white is popular

Not keen on white cars myself not least because they are a bugger to keep looking clean.

I wonder if we will see a revival of white dog poo!

LOL!

Time for a Yellow revival

My Murano is metallic black and is an absolute bugger to keep clean, I reckon a white one would be easier.

WDS.

Nearly went pearlescent white, but couldn't find one.

Same with motorbikes, white was rare but last couple of years tons of new models seemed to be released with a white option. I nearly bought a Ducati 848 in pearlescent white as it looked so slick.

BMW's were about the only stock white bikes around at one time, and I think that was only because they were sold off the shelf to police forces worldwide.

I'm thinking of going for a white Audi A6 next month. just have to get it valleted every few weeks to keep it clean.

I got put off white estate cars many years ago - reminded me of Beirut ambulances which used to ply their trade in the 80s.

White cars are cool and I'm glad they're making a comeback - Not so sure about the number of brown / bronze / copper coloured cars I've seen recently though. They'll look good in the showroom this year but quickly go out of fashion, like a brown 70's Capri with vinyl roof

The two coloured guys are adopting a full-immersion baptism pose.

Ps.

Me an me mates prefer the black cars 'innit.

Nice council estate in the background.

The white guy in the picture (is that you Dim?) should not have attempted the blinging salute, crossing ones arms and tucking ones hands into one's shellsuit is not cool, bro.

Apple is to blame.

I wonder what was the colour of Darren's Bentley...

Traders care about the colour as some don't sell at all well, especially green. For residuals buy silver, dark grey or black.

White has been threatening to come back for a while, last time it was really popular IIRC was the late 80s. Traders like it as it's easy to touch up any damage. Red must be due a comeback soon
