I wish you would say that in the face of a GFM owner!

Seriously though, I don't see your point. It is a really cool color because it's like 3 cars in one. Sometimes light blue. Sometimes gray. Sometimes white. I'll bet my car gets more props than yours. I don't see people taking double takes at white cars. If it's feminine, get a dress and join us.

i did tell that to the owner of one, the guy i bought my gs from had a 430 GFM for sale as well at the CW gs300. I flat out told him, i thought it was feminine and weird, not my cup of tea, but you know it is all preference. See pic below....pic taken when i purchased car, GFM 430 in garage

I hate to say this, I don't want to offend other white car owners who didn't attack us GFM owners but imo, white is the most effeminant car color there is. So I don't know how you can talk.

Talking Unique Colors

Can't we all just get along? Let's say we all get together for a good quiche and some chardonnay?

starfire is the new white; it replaced crystal white. i like it better than CW, it's very pure (hence "starfire"), whereas crystal could appear yellowish in some angles.

i have GFM and prefer it to CW and SFP becuase of the bluish undertones. i always liked the very crisp whites like Lexus' old blizzard pearl. i'm a woman but i don't find it effeminate, and my husband likes it, although at first he wasn't too sure. we get a ton of stares and compliments on it, so we haven't regretted the choice. plus it looks clean 95% of the time even when we haven't washed for over a month.

it's all about personal opinion. i don't think any colors are that masculine or feminine. (unless you are talking pink or periwinkle) i see just as many women driving GFM/CW/SFP as i do men. white is just not that dividing a color in terms of gender...

YOU ARE A WOMAN!?!?! Wow, I thought that this board was all men. I never imagined a woman coming on here and having this much interest in a 3 GS. Welcome!
