WHITE cars used to be the preserve of, well, almost nobody.

So far this year, it’s sold 886 – that’s a sales increase of 3592 per cent!
Canny SEAT marketing men are taking the credit. At the start of the year, they identified white as the ‘next big thing’.

Vivid orange, apparently, is being earmarked for success; as seen here on the Leon Cupra. Then there’s equally intense metallic blue and an alarming ‘Kiwi Green’.
But we particularly like the idea of ‘Furia Grey’. What is it? Battleship grey, no less – for the ultimate stealth effect?
