In most places, cars that protect VIPs are black 5ers. I am just thinking, is black becoming too common? I personally love black, all my cars are black. Is it just me or is black really a boring color for cars nowadays?

Black no, white yes.
Its like what my dad says, with his business we bought all white vehicles.
Alll companies use white vehicles for there fleet vehicles.
I could never own a white vehicle, it boring for me.

This should anger some people.

who cares! I may not like black cars, you might love them - so friggin' what?! Get what you like and you won't get tired of it - for example I love white cars, so I got a white one - never gets old

when i was shopping for e60's i was set on black, the second i saw the alpine white i changed my mind instantly. its all up to the owner....i dont think i will ever own a car that isnt black or white. Unless i get an exotic, then it will be red/yellow/orange/etc

My car is black on black and I absolutely love it, nothing looks better when it is all washed up and shining. However, my next car will NOT be black

... and then you've spent months and months trying to make your car gradually blacker and blacker

Black is beautiful -- just a pain to keep clean.
