Using Data...Color Choice

Octane · 05-20-2007, 11:03 AM

Now why is it that the thick heads

did not use established data to offer white as a color choice for the new G8? Perhaps this has been covered but the DATA shows in the luxury class white is the most popular. Engineers/Sales/Purchasing and all those 8/9 and unclassifieds use data!!! This would serve to help sales in many respects, geeze!!! To whom shall I mail the red nose to.

What?? No white? I thought that would be a given. Doesnt make sense at all.

That's like not having silver as an option. I've read elsewhere that white is always one of the most popular colors, along with silver.

I too have read that before. White is #1 with silver not too far behind.

It doesn't make much sense to me.

I saw in Motor Trend that the three most popular color choices in 2006 were

1. Silver
2. White
3. Gray

Not offering white is silly, though I'm glad they're offering blue and orange.
