help! Meteor or White?

Color was the easiest option for me. White. See it in person, it's stunning. I would not consider any other color.
All the greys leave me cold, I think they are boring. Look like a million other cars. White fits the car.
Get what you want, sounds like you want grey.
White can look wet too, you know. Just a little more work.
I think the reason over half of all cars are white has nothing to do with the press releases, it just looks better. That's why they are showing it in white.

I originally ordered white, but changed after I saw white in person. After drooling over all the glossies, to my eyes it didn't deliver the stunning presence that you see in print and worse, the plastic parts were discolored, yellowish hue relative to the metal panels. Sorta like meeting Miss June only to find one of her nipples was missing.
I still think it looks great in white, just not up to the hype.

So, you are left ordering a car based on swatches, color samples, *glossy marketing brochures* and extrapolation from other cars on the lot.

I have seen those nice pics.
Can you post more?
Why this colour always look different?
What is the different between this and the seal gray?
I think yours look great, I have found some others just don't look like the Meteor.

I think this colour is much lighter than the seal grey, am I right?
And it is a bit like gunmetal?

2005 C2 Red Coupe until June when the White GT3 arrives.
BMW 740il when amongst the shopping carts.
I've read the back and forth about the color. I have seen and sat in (not driven) White, Black and Yellow. There is no question that the Black car is a Black car and there can be very few complaints about any Black PCar, but because of the shape, the intakes and outflow vents, in certain light and some angles you do not see the definition. The Yellow (much like my Red Coupe) is right in your face all the time. The White GT3 is enough to stop your heart from any vantage point and in the end that's what it's about. If another color does that for you, then follow your instinct. Based on the small number of cars coming to the U.S. it is unlikely that you will see yourself coming and going.
