different than any current or previous model as far as i can tell.

Must be a nice item if we've made it to 17 posts in a new product thread without a complaint.

he EU and US markets are very, VERY different.

absolutely they are.  try selling blood pudding at a circus in 'merica next to a cotton candy stand.  i couldn't agree with you more.

she was very frank about saying, "they haven't told us anything yet and don't until Dec, sometimes the 1st, sometimes the 15th, we never know".  she also seemed rather concerned that i could be a auditor checking up on how she handled the call. 

but my question to her wasn't "is ivory going to be an option on the MT next year in the US?"  my question was more along the lines of "generally speaking, are things that sell well in the UK brought to the US the following year"  to which she replied "sure."  that i would believe.   

if this community and the others like it that are largely supported by people in the USA chant, "we want ivory, we want ivory" our chanced of getting it are increased.  they're marketing people lurk these threads.  their job is to know what the US buying market wants.

however there's a large portion of the buying US public that would laugh at the very notion of an ivory kettle.  so if we got it, it would likely be a very limited production quantity. 

i think.  maybe.  who knows.   

i hope this post doesn't come across as an attack or disagreement.  i agree with you as i said from the start.

That might actually get me to buy a factory new Weber.  Of course, I would be replacing the new craptacular handle and slapping some old school 8" wheels on it.  I'll take mine in imperial blue, or what ever the Brits call that color now.

I love my red MT and SS performer, but I find it difficult to cook on the MT and performer when the lid is sitting in the lid bale. Great concept but it just doesn't position the lid far enough away from the grill to give the grill master enough room to work with. I always feel like the lid is in my way of flipping my food and end up setting the lid on the grass when I need to flip something.

If you look at the new Performer it looks like the lid bail is larger, so the lid sits more of to the side.  I know i will be slowly and surely replacing my lid bails once the parts are available

My thoughts exactly too!

^ whoa that blue i nice!

the new bailer on the Perf is larger and the lid sits pretty far over compared to the older perfs and MT's.  i assume it's the same bail as the new MT.  i'll get pics this weekend so you guys can see/review/ask questions. 

been running around all morning so i haven't had the time. 

also want.

Looking at that blue makes me think I need an ivory and a blue.  Damn.

I actually have a handle for a 2015 Master Touch here at home. Weber replaced my 2014 Copper Performer lid with the new style and the rep misplaced the order and sent me a black handle that says Master Touch on it instead of a grey Performer one. I suspected the Master Touch was coming back when I read the invoice for the lid that said "Lid - 2015 Performer / MT"

Can't wait to buy one!

it does look very '70's hot rod doesn't it.

Amazon is taking orders at $190.  I'm so tempted to pull the trigger but I would love to get it in something other than black.  You guys think they'll make different colors?  I'm so conflicted!!!

Im still stuck on wanting Weber making a PINK grill.....that would make a statement,  IMO. Wife gave me the ok to buy a new one if its pink ...LoL.......Just my 2 cents
