You're a fan of white cars, I see. Being a New Yorker, white cars are not an option for me...too much construction dust, too many other cars in lots, etc. That said, I hate silver... [>:]

But I would take your rally white HB any day, haha.

 

we as texans have to deal with our own white-car issues. the fact that the weather changes every 10 minutes being the biggest factor. i have seriously gone through a wind storm just before it rained and it was clear skyed 10 minutes before that. my white wagon gets washed on a really regular basis and still stays dirty all of the time.

 

What Wes said. And he's right. We have so much construction here in the Austin area that it's hard not to get behind trucks in both or all lanes... and the PoL-ees are no help either. I was taught that slower traffic should always be in the right lane unless passing, but not here!!
It's not white cars in general, Vince, but given the other choices Mazda offersthe white is the cleanest looking imo, and reflects sunlight better than any other "color." W/the A/C on the weak side of these cars, every little bit helps. I loved the Phantom Purple and if they brought back Laser Yellow Mica I'd consider that color too, if I could get it past Wendy. (Yeah! That would happen.)
Besides, if you wanted to custom paint/personalize the car, what better base to start with?
And thanks for the compliment. V1 thanks you too.
