Unfortunately I got more of the same in my response from Weber:
"Dear Russ,
Thank you for your email.
We appreciate your support of Weber! Perhaps in the future this will be a sign of things to come for the US. However, only select Alliance retailers in Canada are selling Master-Touch Charcoal grills in colors for this year. They are available in Ivory, Smoke, Spring Green and Slate as you mentioned. Keep checking with us and
www.weber.com for further information on new products and or color choices."
So your telling me there's a chance...someday. Maybe.
