Default Newb question, does the Turbo S come in white?

We have a cyber green bug right now and looking to upgrade to a faster turbo S beetle.

Been searching online but can only find black, silver and red models.

Are those the only colors available?

Yes. VW was targeting a certain demographic with these cars. They wanted to take away the "cute" label, thus made it only available in red, silver, and black.

And wasn't the last model year the 2004? Mine's an 03. You could get one and have it painted!

Yes and it was that limited demographic vision that prevented me from buying one.

2007 is supposedly bringing us a triple white limited edition. And though it's not a turbo, the 2.5 kicks some serious !!

The TS is only available from the factory in Black, Platinum Grey, Silver and Red for US consumption. You could have one repainted or you could buy a white 1.8t in the year model of your choice and buy all of the parts to create your own. Gatorbeetle has already done this to create his own white "turbo s". I did it to create a Blue Lagoon TS. I know its been done in silver, cyber green, isotope and snap orange.
