It's in Octane as an undervalued car too.

What's wrong with white ? (it turns a nice of brown quickly anyway)

mines white too. If its good enough for Bond...James Bond, its errrr, well...I like it anyway. Its much better than a dark coloured car when its been sat on a hot sunny day, although Im sure that you will see the flaw in that argument in this country !

Have to agree with Angus & Bash - white is a great colour

As Angus says this time of year, with the farmers thinking that most of their fields should be spread on the roads, white soon turns to brown

My first Excel was white - loved it.
Celebration I now have only came in Empire Green - except those that were red!

How true - there is a (well-educated) school of thought that says that White is the best colour for Exiges,...

And, of course, following Mr. Plato's berating of the Europa S for being too similar to an Elise (5th Gear, Channel Five, 30th Oct. 2006) - there is an "opening" for proper GTs of any colour

I wonder what the official name is for those Nissan Micra convertables, my guess is surgical appliance pink.!
