White?

[cjay]

Is it just me or do most of the 500's in the world seem to be white? :rolleyes:

Does anyone know what percentage of colors 500 are made in?

Might have to get a grey Abarth just to be different :cool:

[.Lefteris.]

Here in Greece the are many colors on 500s but on Abarths they are 50% in white so far, (20 cars in white and 20 in all the other colors)

I think 50% of 500s must be white! It has to be because white is (or at least was) a fashionable colour in cars and because it is "a free colour" for the 500. And obviosly because it looks so good on 500. But like any other colour, it must be kept clean to look good.

Here in Norway I also think at least 50% of the 500s are white then comes about 40% red and the other colors comes under the last 10%.lol The dealer told me that it is only 2 other jive blues in Norway besides minelol But I don`t know if that is true. :xyxwave:

Funny thing is out of the 6 others I have seen here 3 where white 2 red and one Jive blue...

Thays roughly the same color spread as Norway lol :cool:

Apparantly the dealer said that mine was the first Red 500 to be sold in Carlisle lol I was there the other week and apparantly as a result of mine they have acually sold more non white 500's

It has to be because white is (or at least was) a fashionable colour in cars and because it is "a free colour" for the 500.

I also think that most 500s are white because it was a free colour. For bringing more colours on the streets, Fiat Italy deciced about a half a year ago to make you pay also the white colour, but other colours became free at the same time.

But people continue to buy white 500s. Also in Italy most 500s are white. Probably because the 500 is one of the few cars which looks amazing also in white. Actually it looks amazing in every colour... :icon_thumright:

There might be the retro side of it too. I think most of the original 500s were white too. Maybe our italian members can confirm that?

I think its the styling of the car. If you look at the trepolino concept car from 04 that was done in white, and so has every other fiat 500 publicity model. All the cars ive seen reviewed are this colour lol Maybe the car started life as a white only car, but they then added other colours to the range.
