Are white cars sooo 90s?

Porsche 911 GT2 has to be in white in my opinion.

We have a white scirocco and I think it looks very nice

You really need a black roof with it, otherwise it doesn't look as good.

If you’re going for white you might as well get a van.

I really like white cars - if kept clean, and have some contrasting black (a black piece of trim here and there) they look really nice.

Every time I see a white diesel audi/bmw I die a little inside.

It seems like silver is the colour for those in middle management and white is for "new money" folk with not a huge amount of taste.

I was in TGI Friday in Cardiff and this lad pulled up in an 11 plate R8 (maybe R10 I don't know how to tell) it was a cab with that iffy red fabric roof. Just looked really tacky to me. Lad gets out covered in tattoos and the bird is like some NDubz reject.

If it's the same one I'm thinking of and I've not seen many around Cardiff he plays for CCFC

Whilst these photos demonstrate nicely the black and white contrast on white cars which i like, it unfortunately conflicts with my hatred of nice cars ruined with stick on tat.

This on the other hand, is exactly what i was talking about.

My car is white but is so old it looks cream coloured compared to a modern white car.

Rich_L · 9 Nov 2011 at 16:49

Loads of white cars here

Many just look normal and some look ace, my parents hired a white Dodge Charger which looked quite cool

White used to be bargain basement, cheapest of the cheap. Late 90's filthy Astra Estates driven by photocopier repair guys as company cars were white. Vans are white. etc.

In my head whenever I see a white car I always think it's a company car driver that didn't have enough allowance left to buy paint/options, they blew every penny of their allowance on getting the base model of the car they chose.

Really not a fan of white cars personally, though I will admit it does look quite cool on some cars, like the Audi R8 for example.

White? Check
Sport model? Check
Smallest capacity engine in the range? Check
Diesel? Check

To complete your 'Stereotype conformity check' please confirm that your car adheres to the final stereotype:

Is owned by somebody other than yourself?

Only Maserati seem to be able to pull off black/cf trim panels on white body! That looks too "street" :eek:
