Re: Most popular car colour...

I think this has something to do with the I-pod effect, as well as the fact that new car design works well with white colour.

What I meant is that we here in Europe, especially in Sweden, only get ugly shades of white, and some luxury cars can't even be ordered in white. We also want pearl white, arctic white and other tasty colours like cherry red.
