Not white.... It only suits very few cars IMHO.

I think everyone in a white car is trying too hard to look cool (usually middle aged wimmin). White was cool for a few months in 2005... Not any longer.

Just my 2p..

Let's be honest. Dom has his finger in the pulse of fashion so if he says it's not cool...... :p

I quite fancy a white A5 or Yeti. Does that make me a middle aged woman?!

I agree with Dom.... almost.

Still like white on sporty cars but they must have black wheels and trim to work.

A white rep-mobile estate looks like the fleet manager refused to pay for metallic.

DuPont paint manufacturers reckon that it is the Apple effect that has made white a cool
colour when it comes to choosing cars
They sell more black and white paint (Apple Case Colours) than any other.

White will also compliment the Harris Tweed interior DDTB is also planning

I like whats I like I do.... On trend or not.

Mazda 6 tourer looks ok in silver and grey... But just a bit bland / rep. mobile. It's got loads of privacy glass and a big black contrasting grill at the front and i think it really suits the white.

Still can't decide on the tweed pattern for the Elise yet either... Grey.. Blue... Herringbone... Arghhh.. Decisions decisions
