Hahaha! yup I drove a white government car for over 20 years which is why I bought Asphalt since all my previous cars were all white too.

Mine is a whiteout, and believe me the tri-coating color looks great. You don't need to wash a white car that frequently, that I think is an advantage considering the all the dust/dirt in the city. BTW, Im pushing 30, and still feels great driving around in a white car.

No matter which choice you go with, you'll regret it, and wish you did the other. Then, after a matter of time, you'll learn to love your color choice and eventually be happy with it.

Also, I had a dark gray/charcoal car before my FR-S, so I have experience with both. lol. Dark gray will always photograph better, but it gets dirty (and shows) much faster. Harder to maintain too since it will show any imperfection more so than white. (I had a white car and a black car prior to this Yaris as well)
With all of that said, since it's primarily your wife that will be driving the car, she should really have the final say on the color. |

Just getting some nostalgia going. To the OP, I had difficulty making the same choice. I suggest you cancel your order and go get the WRB BRZ . . . b/c every single time I see one I think "maybe $2k wasn't too much to pay for that" :P |

Other point is there are some anti-nippon spirit in this country, and they're generally low-educated, means they only recognise the logo of TOYOTA and scratch and beat these japanese car. Hence Subaru is not well known.. And it looks like a Chinese brand so it's very safe and low profile.. TOYOTA was the manufacturer of the trucks for American Army during the war between USA/Korea+China. ( Which my grand father participated and survived) Subaru was the manufacturer of the air craft engine during the 2nd war, part of them are kamikaze I guess. If this TOYOTA dealer won't give me the car until October I will go BRZ WRB and buy my wife a SMART FORTWO... |

May look dull as some have stated, but park it next to other whites, it makes Lexus white look like bird poo. I've received nothing but compliments on the: "cream colored white." as they put it. Also, it is hard to paint match as well as Halo, but, hey, if I wanted to keep it in mint condition, i'd buy a dino sized condom and wrap it in there. Halo, looks nice, but just doesn't do it for me. Makes me think of white with a blue hint in it. Maybe its my eyesight? Other beautiful colour I would have gone with is hot lava aka orange-red. I see many with it, but it's still a nice colour. Black, grey...etc those dark colours fade easily ime, and seem like every other car. if I see a dark Civic, a black Camry and a FR-S asphalt, to me its just like looking at 3 cars, not a Civic, Camry..etc.. Might as well go with argento. Whiteout
