Probably leasing. Which is blowing a lot of money, but also means he isn't buying an $80,000 car that won't be worth hardly anything after it hits 100k miles, because more and more people in the used markets are figuring out when an out of warranty battery goes bad it can cost you $15,000 to $25,000 extra to replace a battery.
Probably. I had a neighbor that leased an Acura yearly. Always got a different vehicle but always in white.
Always white? How damned boring.
Boring yes but easier to see, involved in proportionally fewer accidents, surface scratches are harder to see, remains cooler when parked outside, much easier to resell, always available, doesn't attract attention, and the base white is normally cheaper..
I completely get it for a lease car. It's a work vehicle, not a passion project.
I think white cars are also better at retaining value due to being a popular color (for all the reasons you listed).
