Most Popular New Car Color…Drum-Roll Please!
by Randall on Dec.10, 2008, under New Car, New Features
WHITE
For the second year in a row American’s have proven they like their cars like they like their washers and dryers, clean and crisp. 20% of the poll performed by DuPont paints favored white over any other color (with a combination of 17% plain white and 4% white pearl effects). Coming in a close second was a tie between the old trusty dust hider Silver and the venerable black, both with 16%.
DuPont also reports other favorites come in at the following percentages: Blue: 13%, Gray: 12%, Red: 11%, Beige/Brown: 5%, Green: 3% and Yellow/Gold at 2%. Also noted was blue’s comeback in more than one way, with many manufacturers using the “blue” title for hyper-economical diesel cars (BlueTec, BluMotion, etc).
Though many will chastise white for it’s incredibly monotone-monotony, I have to applaud the choice, as white cars with dark tint and black accents really make a sleek and eye catching ride. Consider most race cars’s base is white and you’re left with quite a few good reasons to own a car that’s the same color as your toaster. Here are a few favorites of mine:

What colour is driving pleasure? What shape is passion? Watch the invisible become visible very soon right here.
BMW Asks us what excites us about driving. Hopefully, when their new JOY website is active on December 15th we’ll be seeing the next iteration of the Z4. Maybe they’ll be releasing the much anticipated Z2. Whatever comes up, I’m sure it will be exciting for those of us who love what comes out of this German marque. It’ll will no doubt have bright colors whatever the car is. Check the teaser video below:
