People realize how nice white looks so they tend to keep the cars rather than sell it.

White and Black are my favorite colors for European sport cars and sedans.

Most white cars go to the MIddle East market. Almost every brand has been doing that.

White was not hot color at 993-996 years. Most people order silver and black back then. White has come back when we saw white 997GT3 at poster, Lambo have all white show cars last year, Techart also use white as their show cars. So you will find lot more white in 997s than 996s.

White only became a truly hot color a few years ago. I guess there'll be a lot more white 997 p-cars than there are white 996.

However in Germany it's also kinda hard to find a black non-metallic car. I guess that around 95% of all (so called) "black" 996 and 997 in Germany are in fact black-metallic. That makes black non-metallic a color that is almost as rare as white... but nobody realizes that.

Actually black-metallic colored cars should be called "graphite" or "anthracite", but definitely not "black".
