...and color additions/deletions?

Everst (or is it Forest) Green will likely get dumped and Firemist Red may also be on the way out. Look for a burgundy to replace Firemist. Have no idea what may replace the Green if it in fact gets axed. A metallic gold could be in the mix. The super metallic silver that was offered on the 2002 Special Edition SL's would be a big hit. (It is available in Europe by special order, at least on the SL55's) These are just guesses and not based on authoritative information. Anyone outside the US already hearing of new color options that are becoming available for the 2004 models?
