White cars

What is the general consensus on white cars?

I was never a fan in the past however I have now found myself actively looking for a white car.

I quite like white cars - they work well when they have some black in them too to contrast with the white - tinted windows, carbon panels etc.

Just another colour that seems to be the new black.

Good idea if you like washing it every week....otherwise, probably not so good.

Agreed - they always look great photoshopped, and not too bad in showrooms, but in real life they always tend to look dirty and tired IMO

M3 is Alpine White looks awesome! Saw one in Gibraltar and it was amazing!

Looks nice on performance cars, awful on anything else imo.

The new 3 Series is great in white.

Owning as I do a white car with black wheels, I think they look pretty good in general.

However, a Rover 214 with nicked hubcaps... Er, looks awesome. Want to buy it for a mere £4,000? Its pretty, honest.

Perfection.

Looks good on the right car, can't help but think it's nothing but a fad though.
Europeans are extremely late to the party anyway, the Japs have been all over white cars for donkeys years.

I don't normally go for white cars but all of the above rock as does the Volvo C30 in white

The Rover Coupe looks brilliant in white.

They're great!

White cars are awesome, unless they don't get cleaned then they get some yellow tint to it.

Tegs look nice in white, but I think white can make cars look dated and/or dirty. Depends on the model really.

They look quite nice in general, I always thought. In fact, most Rovers I think look a bit better than most give them credit for.
