Many years ago Henry Ford, when asked about producing cars in different colors, stated that customers could purchase a car in any color they wanted, so long as it was black.
For several years we have noticed that nearly all the cars with German plates we see here are black. We have seen them on the autoroute, even on the autobahn in Germany, black car after black car, Mercedes, Porsche, VW audi, even the Alfa Romeo.
So we asked a few German acquaintances for some insight. We were informed that since for years white cars (and now silver) were usually corporate fleet vehicles for employee use, everyone has purchased black, "a style" we were told.
Maybe also the black is warmer inside in a cold climate? Perhaps.
