Soon to be replaced with a white C class.
 
Sitting in traffic with the kids the other day (in a car obviously!) we were struck by how different 'white' was from various manufacturers. Some are dazzling white, others almost magnolia. Mercedes seems to have some of the whiter whites currently on offer. Is theirs the brightest?
 
their flat white is bright bright, however their costly version of white is a real off cream, for me doesn't pop as well!!

Nice day out sat in traffic hey?? [emoji1]
 
With the correct treatment, black cars can be swirl free, but they remain hard to keep clean, as does white.
 
Love black , my old amg slk was black and had many black cars before but had some silver too and there much easier to live with but just love black ...don't do white (I have many reasons ) not sure if my new car will be Obsidian black or Tenorite grey yet

Traffic and nice day an oxymoron. Mind you, not as bad as my recent 7 1/2 hour drive from Bristol to Gatwick on the night the M4 got closed!
 
When I was looking to buy my E, I couldn't help but notice the white cars were much better spec'd compared to the black, but I don't like light colours so stuck with black.
 
My 1984 cavalier was white but don't think the paint quality was quite the same back then and it also ended up looking mostly brown as the rust came through.

When I had my car resprayed white, I was asked which white I wanted? Apparently 'pure white' is rarely used on cars, it is usually mixed with small amounts of black or brown to achieve the desired hue.
