| Get my pies outta the oven!  |
Interesting observation I've made ever since I decided to look at a Subaru Forester as my next car sometime soon. It seems to me like 75% of the Subarus I see on the roads around here are white. Maybe it's not that high a percentage or maybe its my perception but an awful LOT of them seem to come in white. I wonder if that is Subaru thing or what? To play into the whole notion that they are "safe"? I see other colors but it seems like the majority of them are only white colored? | ||

I think that's just reflective of the modern compact SUV market, and not unique to Subarus. White SUVs/CUVs today is like the beige sedans of the 1990s or the silver compacts of the 2000s. It's the default/most common choice so you see more of them. | |||

“Any color the customer wants, as long as it’s black.” -Henry Ford "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

Not many white Subaru here in Arkansas either. Every other car is white but not the Subarus. Any dog can be a Guide Dog if you don't care where you're going. NRA ENDOWMENT LIFE MEMBER | |||

Perhaps because Subaru owners tend to be practical and white is practical on a car. It reflects heat, doesn't show much dust, and is pretty visible to other drivers. No car is as much fun to drive, as any motorcycle is to ride. | |||

Personally, I notice patterns like car colors, but I haven’t noticed this about Subarus since I’m an owner and notice most I see. I live between Austin and San Antonio, but I’ve traveled to big Subaru areas like Colorado and the PNW. Locally and afar, I haven’t noticed this trend. Also, my ‘20 Crosstrek was cool grey khaki, my ‘23 Forester Wilderness was white, but my ‘24 Forester Wilderness is glacier blue. To add, I really notice other Wilderness models, and most are not white. Retired Texas Lawman | |||

Possibly because it's a Japanese car. A large percentage of automobiles over there are white. As to why that is, I've seen a lot of theories.... According to AI, 48% of cars in Japan are white. The same percentage also applies to the cars imported into the US. | |||

I expect white paint is less expensive. I’ll consult my paint buddies. _____________________ Be careful what you tolerate. You are teaching people how to treat you. | |||

I found the white Mazda CX-5 I wanted recently but it sold before I could grab it so I settled for Machine Gray Metallic and one trim level down to get a naturally aspirated (not turbo-charged) engine without cylinder deactivation. After the issues we’ve had with my wife’s current turbo-charged engine and since I plan to keep it for a long time, I wanted as few of the typical maintenance issues as possible. *** "Aut viam inveniam aut faciam (I will either find a way or make one)." -- Hannibal Barca | |||

I’ve seen a lot of white everything in the past several years. I figured with Covid and the economy, manufacturers may have scaled back on their choices to streamline production. This is just a guess but I’m sure they could cut costs by offering black, white, and one or two other color options instead of 10-15 colors. | |||

Or the "teal" in the early 90s. Very popular on GM cars and trucks. For the OP's question, no, I don't see many Subarus in white. Several - almost half - of my cars and trucks in my 50 years driving have been white, however, including my current car. | |||

Some manufacturers make white vehicles for the Corporate world. My guess these white Subarus are targeted for the Corporate clam-kissing crowd. | |||

It’s not just Subarus. I see far more white pickups, too. But it gets pretty hot here and white is noticeably cooler. | |||
