Why isn't the EX available in Tafetta White?

I have a Tafetta White Sedan LX. It has the standard black door handles, which I think look okay, but the trend now seems to be going toward color matching door handles for just about all cars. The only color that the EX is not available is in Tafetta White and I have always wondered why. Is white currently unpopular? There are a lot of white Jettas and Passats. A white EX Civic would have the color matching handles and would look impressive I think. The interior goes well too it is black/gray, black dash and upper door and the rest gray, t looks good.

I was just going by the 2001 brochures for the Coupe and Sedan, they both have Tafetta White as unavailable for the EX. I think I checked the Honda website, recently and I don't recall a change for the '02s but I may be wrong.

Don't you think it is mysterious that the brochure says that Tafetta White is unavailable for the EX, yet there are people materializing from remote parts of the country that have white EXs? Very strange I think.

01civicboi - me too ! I thought that was freaking weird. I was entering all my info and there was no listing for a Taffeta White EX, I thought about emailing Honda and asking WTF is up with that. Oh well, I kinda like being one of the least owned colors. I've only seen one other White coupe in Dallas.

The Lone Star State seems to have received a run of these white EXs.

I checked out your ride, it's great. It even has white side mirror housings, or whatever they are called. What is that red accordion type thing by the battery?

You see a lot of White 4th gens but there aren't many White 7th gens period, I like having a rare color too.

i have the feeling someone is really angry at his dealer [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG]

I was once told by a honda salesman (he was fired before i bought my civic) that the accords weren't available in blue... next day i saw a blue accord driving down the street... that was the time i wasn't really seriously looking into any cars tho... and by the time i went and started seriously looking, that guy was long gone... he didn't uphold company standards or soemth9ing hehe

It is probably a basic question, but what does the Air Breather do?

...and should I have one too?

Thanks for acknowledging my point about the brochure.

The factory apparently has the capability of making a white EX if it wants to.

Here's to your white EX.

I understood that Honda's original plan was to NOT make a white EX. Then they did anyway. That was the explanation that the dealer gave me for why I couldn't get the grey interior with the white exterior. I think white is awesome.

There are drag racing pics on the website. 26 points for the season earned on a rain shortened night.

Yep, took me about an hour at the dealer to decide between a NBP ex sedan and a tafetta ex sedan. I chose NBP.
