Maybe they chose white because of associations with Monte Carlo winners drifting through snow covered roads in the Alps?

The room where they did the press launch was dark with dark walls. A car other than in white would have been lost to the background. White showed off the subtlety of the panel details and lines.

In the newspaper a few days ago was an article about figures from the Society of Motor Traders which, quote 'showed that white has kept its position as the UK's most popular new car colour for the third year in succession'.

Needless to say my opinions have nothing to do with the fact that one of my cars is white. :D :D

Each new prototype is a bit more like the original looks-wise, but it's still got the pug-ugly Audi asp on it.
Apart from that it's A+. :up

Air vents are really cool, they remind me of wheels that were fitted on the early 1.6 A310

I saw the Vision at Goodwood and have to say it looks fantastic in the flesh. It was attracting a lot of looks too. A lot of people were only vaguely aware of it though. Let's hope the production version doesn't differ much.

I think it could give a good thrust if Renault
calls the F1 team with name Renault-Alpine F1
and if they will use this car for racing of course

Well here it is at last...

The sexy wing mirrors are gone but the basic shape is pretty much the same.

My inside man tells me the interior looks close to concept too. Hope he's right.
