I honestly went to the dealer looking for black...I then noticed from a distance, unless you rotate around the car a lot of the body lines got washed out (at least, to me they did)...saw the at the time new SW, thought "blank canvas for any and all colors/looks", and this was honestly the first white car I had ever liked...the salesman REALLY wanted me to take one off the lot instead of ordering, so I was able to get quite a bit marked down for him to make the sale
