Heine, you need to come down to the coast. Lots of white D3's now, although I do agree that when they were first launched they were rare.

New white D3 seen today at Bridel Quarry, Luxembourg:

I think that it looked good. There was a new silver D3, which didn't look so good. There was also a new one in dark metallic green. I didn't get closer than 30 metres but it looked very smart.

SWMBO liked the new look in your pictures - I'm not convinced myself.
Looks unbalanced now - with all the black at the top of the car, and almost none down low.
I'm sure it'll be popular with the urban crowd - makes it look like a Jap 4x4 08 LR3 SE - 02 D2 SE7
Porsche 911 (03 996) - Porsche Boxster (99 986)
03 MINI Cooper S - gone but not forgotten!

It's much better in the metal. This one must have come straight from the showroom. There wasn't a speck of dust on it.

This is where NJF and me disagreed - I really didn't like the all white look. I think it's okay on an RRS as it has that "floating roof" look. Just not on a D3.
But do agree with the green - looked good. The next American ex-pat that calls it a "truck" is going to find out what 2.7 tons feels like on their foot...
