Thread: D4 Christened

The more I look at the D4 photo's the more i think that she deserves a spot on the mantle piece next to the wife and kids.

Also as i find more spots around Toowoomba I'l post the co-ordinates.

The more I see the D3 or D4 in white the more I think it is a great colour choice, good luck on putting in on the mantle and well done on breaking the D4 cherry.

I am always amazing how easily they will do things off road and then turn into a luxury tourer for the trip home.

I like the number plate as well

Have to agree George, I came from a black car but the white just looks good, especially with tinted windows.

As for the number plate, well that's just a bit of photoshop. Would be good however, but bet it would be expensive.

For what it's worth, I just got off the phone from my dealer about my vehicle - just establishing some delivery dates, etc. While in the ordering process several (many) months ago I changed the colour from Ipanema Sand to Arctic White - couldn't personally justify $1,800 for a metallic finish!

The dealer just told me that white has now become "the new black" - apparently it's the current fad colour (is white a colour?). He reckons he could outsell white from any other colour 10 to 1. Anyhow, I feel glad I'm keeping up with the Joneses and that I'll be able to cruise down the High Street with my head held high...

Hi Watpub, white is a good colour, better than Ipenema Sand and probably better for resale as well.
The only reason I went for silver is that my last 5 (yes 5) vehicles have been white. Always got good money for them when sold.
Hopefully I have been reassuring.

Hi Disco4SE,

After 5 white cars yes I'd feel inclined to go for a change as well!

My last Cruiser, which I sold in February, was white and after 5 years I decided it would be good to get some colour. But then I recanted and went back to white - hence the order change.

My previous Cruiser was a green colour - and boy did it show dirt and get hot. Looked great in the showroom but crap on the road.

I'm currently driving an old Pajero as an interim vehicle. It's burgundy and has no air conditioning (busted compressor). Jeez, do you know about it when the temperature outside gets above 18 degrees!

I've had a silver (or pewter as the posh name was) car too. Silver's like white - great for keeping heat out and dirt off.

Regards,

Ron

Have to agree Ron, my last car was a metalic black Calais. Looked awesome for the 1st 10 minutes after it was washed then, well, we know how much they show the dirt. And to be honest I am stunned how much cooler the white D4 is even with the Black leather interior. And hey, it's not really white like Toyota white (stark), it's Arctic White, it has a softness to it which just looks plain good
