Methinks the black car owners doeth protest too much!
Of course black is nice. I'd even go so far as to say that every colour is nice (I'm so generous!).
However, black is done to death... Every repmobile is black. Grey and silver...again, done to death. The motorway is stuffed with grey...
That is, perhaps, why motor manufacturers are tripping over themselves to show their new products in white.
-practical (people get out your way thinking you're the cops)
-practical again (return to your car on a hot summer's day and it won't be so hot!)
-practical a third time (looks great dirty!)
-practical yet again (easy to find your car in a car park!)
-exclusive (everyone goes for black or metallic)
-traditional - White is the colour of the original golf (not sure about that actually, but never mind!)
-faster... Yes, unbelievably, 60mph in a white car is a full 10% quicker than 60mph in any other colour* (*this may not be entirely true)
...and most of all
-sexy and cool... just like me!
So, black owners, be happy that you have a great car in a great colour. Grey owners - be happy that you didn't choose tornado red. But white is *the* colour for the 21st century!
