Thanks for that! I did a lot of searching online, with no definite answer either way haha. I guess seeing it in person if best!

If your from Vic there may be a dealer swap option. But I still would like to see the grey in person first.



Now back to your original question, yes the white does look amazing in person and the pearl in it is perfect and your right, the pearl shows all the curves. It's it was sitting next to an orange one and it's hard to describe but the white or the pearl in the white just made the car seem wider and look a lot more aggressive. That's why I like the white.

I think the grey will look just as aggressive in person also.

I know it's not the same but here are some photos I took with my iPhone...
Not sure if you're looking but I'm kind of having second thoughts about my Red MT GTS, delivery next couple of weeks.
Let me know if anyone here wants to swap! I'd be keen for grey or white with a delivery date before August

Funky Fresh, sorry I just saw your post tonight. Thanks for those pictures! I have definitely decided that white is the right colour for me. I paid my deposit 2 weeks ago but waiting to hear tomorrow as to when I can expect my car.

Must suck when u order ur colour only to question it later... It would be good if u could raise ur concerns with ur dealer and he would make the effort to network other dealers in the area and see if anyone else is willing to swap up who has also questioned there colour choice...

I feel lucky I've known from the start I want white.. However!!! When I seen the BLACKED OUT TRD spec 86 on speedhunters I doubted myself for a few minutes.. That was fixed by revisiting some past white TRD 86 porn and the doubts all went away...

My choice between the two would be black. White will show the curves more but the black would look great with the DRLs. But be prepared for to give the black plenty of TLC to keep it looking nice.

I've ordered silver. Am happy but not happy. Would love a altramarine one...I only got to see the crappy colour codes on the only document the dealer had back in march. I thought blue was a light blue.

Going to stick with the satin white. But after seeing the sonic blue in person I am very impressed, and might possibly have a change of mind when I make the final decision.
