Default Glacier white metalic

Waiting for June delivery on my 16 S AWD coupe. Had a TOUGH time in choosing Rhodium Silver over Polaris white, but my decision is made. Here in the Midwest dark colors just show too much dirt. Just curious if anyone has seen the new Glacier White in person, as that might have been an option for me?

I struggled with the same decision-making. I haven't seen it in person, but I think it's going to be a frosted white, blue-ish white (like my Suzuka Grey Pearl R8 was). In the end, I had to make a decision, so I held my breath, gave it three Hail Mary's, closed my eyes, and picked Ammonite Grey. Still haven't seen that in person either, although I'm sure some longshoreman in Baltimore has watched seagulls carpet bomb it for two weeks.

Is it a pearl or tri-coat paint...?

Just to make myself clear, I did choose rhodium silver, with the full red interior, and black console, which I think is absolutely striking!

It will look fantastic. I saw one like that on the lot and I was very tempted to buy it before waiting for the Polaris White I got a few weeks later.

Going to look at one this weekend, I see several Glacier White metallic in stock. Hope it's not a pearl, I don't like White pearl.

Saw my first two 16's yesterday. A black R coupe, and a glacier white coupe which is kind of a combination of pearl white, with a little silver blue in it. Made a Polaris white parked nearby look kind of pale and antiseptic.

You going to go with the Glacier White then? I see a lot of White pearl Nissan's etc and I just don't like them myself, so I need to see in person, going tomorrow. Also want to see the Black Berry in person too, but I don't see any out there. Unfortunately around here dealer orders are usually Black, White or Silver, I guess they are the easiest to sell.

No, actually I've ordered a rhodium silver coupe. Just checking out the glacier white. Still love my choice of silver, with the full red interior.

Personally I like Pearl white on car with great lines. Seems glacier white has more than white in pictures.

Saw the Glacier White Metallic. Not a fan, too much of a pearl.

I agree. It looks a bit girly in my opinion. A good add to the color catalog since the F Type attracts women buyers, but I much prefer Polaris White.

I'm sure you meant to say "pure and clean."

I think the Polaris White looked much classier, I saw the side by side.

I had a polaris white ftype convertible which I traded for a glacier white metallic coupe.

I'm not sure if it's the coupe but it gets far more attention than the convertible. I'm talking 10x. My convertible barely got any attention..which was a good thing imo.

I think the paint may have something to do with it.

I personally feel like the polaris white looks too much like appliance white. I really love the white metallic and don't think it looks too feminine at all. It's unique and different from the other white cars out there.

I believe the most popular car color by a mile is white.

Make sure you get the black wheels to set it off with a more aggressive feel.

It's such a beautiful car it really doesn't matter what color you get. Colors are all subjective and personal anyway.
