White GE 08 Fits

OK I hate white cars, they are invisable in the snow and they show rust like crazy, but, white Fits look awesome. They don't even look like the same car. I just saw one today that had just been waxed with tinted windows. What a great looking car. Not as practical as my boring Silver, but they sure look good.

When I get my next car it's definitely going to be a white one.

They just look so clean all the time.

I have a white one and it looks very sporty when it's dirty, but I also love black and red. The only color I am not crazy about is blue, but everyone to his own taste.

A white car is quite visible, even in a Canadian winter.

Take care of your car and it won't rust. Color doesn't change that fact.

Not around here it isn't, we get something called whiteouts. A white car is really hard to see. In a really bad whiteout your hand in front of your face is hard to see. I still like the white Fits however.

I must admit red is the most visible in all climates.

My Toyota Yaris was red. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2961085 . A bus cleaned it out. I wouldn't care, but it was a beautiful day. Now I have a white Mugen Fit compliments of the bus companies insurance.

Owning a red car here in florida is impossible. It will turn pink in no time.

I've been in white outs in northern Ohio when I was younger, I'm sure they're nowhere near to the Canadian ones...

But the only things I ever remember being able to see were peoples' Hazard Lights flashing in front of us, you couldn't see the car itself regardless of the color.

From what I remember lights made all the difference. YMMV of course.

Being a Californian I have ZERO experience with "white outs"

Regarding white Fits, I had a notion to go with white until I went to the lot. Ended up with silver...for some reason the white didn't appeal to me at the time. They only had one anyways and by the time I had finished my test drive the white one was in the process of being sold. After having seen more and more of them (on this site) I kinda wish I had gone that route...I mostly see silver around my parts. Actually, that's all I can recall seeing thus far aside from one in orange/bronze (whatever the heck they call it).

I'm sure as time goes by and people start realizing what a great little car the Fit is I'll start seeing more and more different colors on the road...but I have to agree that white is definitely a rockin' color...tinted and dropped
