I like white too. Really, I would probably be happy with any of the 2011 colors. I would mod the car no matter what, and could design my own theme around any of the colors. I really really with Ford would offer their pearl white on the Mustang though. The 2011 Edge and MkX have some really nice colors, that deep red, Earth and that turquoise color for starters.

This is a good pic of the white - nice & clean. Don't think there is anything girlie about it 
I like the contrast of the black/white too - they compliment each other well IMHO

I agree with previous posters, white is easy to keep clean, and does not show every swirl mark or chip. I've had black cars before, and all winter long they look like s**t. That's why mine is white. However, there may be some blue stripes in the future.....

Here's a fact for you. White Cars look cleaner than dark cars, even when dirty.
I've had many, many black cars, and now I will only buy white, trust me, ask anyone who's owned both color cars and they'll tell you it's easier to keep a white car cleaner longer and when it is dirty it will always look cleaner than a black car.

I got mine in white. Planning on tinting the windows and adding Guardsman Blue stripes to it in the near future. Money will be tight, so it might be a while before I can get it the way I want it.
In the meantime, the `11 looks **** good in plain white.

Iv'e had white Mustangs for about 26 years, starting with an 84, 85, & 87 GT. Then went to a white 03 Terminator, then a 07 GT500 with the LeMans stripe delete. My 2011 GT500 is built and enroute and is performance white with the grabber blue stripes. White was the only color available for the 1965 GT350s and many 1966s were white, as well. I feel compelled to stay with early Shelby history. White is a great color and easy to keep clean. No worry with swirl marks etc. If damaged it can easily be matched. Go with the white. Definitely a good color for the new Mustangs.

White with the brick red premium leather interior is gorgeous! I drove an hour a couple months ago to see that combination on a 2010 GT, and that is one awesome color combo.
I've also had two white Z28s, and despite what you'd think if you didn't know otherwise, white hides dirt better than almost any other color. Yellow hides the dirt extremely well too, but that's getting off topic.
My advice is to check out the Performance White with Brick Red premium interior combo - the red steering wheel is an incredibly cool finishing touch!

Man my favorites were Kona And sterling. But then I did a Shelby in white with silver stripes and it got me hooked. I know I wont be able afford one unless I hit the lottery. But it just looks so good in that color combo.

White reflects the sun's heat so the paint stays a lot cooler in the sun. The inside of the car also. This is important if you live or frequent the desert south west. Especially in the summer. I like the look of a white body accented with silver and black. I picked it not because its my favorite color; the dark blue is. For me it was more a utilitarian decision.
