Personally, I like it.

If I could repaint my car - it would be the yellow that Viggen's also came in (monte carlo yellow), or white - which they didn't come in.

I don't see how you can say that.

I'd trade my scratch-prone black paint for another color any day of the week, but I don't see how black makes it ugly.

Ugly? I think not...





I think black is the best looking color on them. yeah, black is hard to keep clean, but it's a good looking little hot hatch.

Ehh, I never really liked the look of the Focus.

There are few mainstream cars that look as good as a black Focus.  After owning a black truck though, I will never buy another black vehicle.

The Focus SVT is a great little car.  I'd own one if there weren't so many other competing factors involved in purchasing a vehicle.  I think it looks ok in white, but it looks much better in every other color.

Black makes nearly every car look good. My '99 Camry was black, and my dad's '06 Grand Caravan is black. I never want to own another black car, though if I bought a 335i or an S-Class today, I'm sure they'd be black.

tell me about it. Every time I've had one, I say it'll be the last. But here I went and bought another this last time around. Gets dirty the moment you even SAY "rain." But man, when it's clean, it's sooo nice.

Black doesn't suit the Focus.

I like the photoshop, svtautox.  White is the new Black, after all.

I think black is the color that looks best on Foci, or the RS blue.

White is never going to be the new black.  Leave white to the Japanese.

White looks good on E36s, but I don't like it on E46s.  Agree to disagree.

I like my parents' white 5er.

I like white a lot on luxury cars.


C'mon guys cars like the Gallardo and CGT look good in just about any color. I don't think white looks bad on sports cars but it doesn't look nearly as good as others.

I was trying to show that white looks better than black on those cars (IMHO).

Yet you have a black SLR in your signature.
