Default 2008 GFM replacement

Are they replacing it with a very similar color? Or just renaming gfm to something else? Or is it being removed all together?

GFM is by far my 1st option, if they aren't renaming it and aren't going to offer something similar, I may have to grab an 07.

thanks.

Different names are different colors.

And no it's not being replaced by a similar color.

I love the gfm/cashmere in my IS, but it's impossible to keep clean

there's a gfm/black sitting on the showroom at a local dealer. I guess it's just personal, but I've never liked black as an interior or exterior color

I get tons of complements on the Ash interior in my C55. It's unique and bit sportier I think...especially with the black wood.

IMO, grey is the worst interior color ever and black is just decent. Black works on anything so everyone has it.

WTF!!! When I ordered my in GFM/Black, waited over 4 months... ended with GFM/Ash!!!

Personally I prefer Black over Ash interior.

My local dealer (Asia) has a 08 GS color chart which indicates that the 074 GSM will be replaced by a new color called Frosty Pearl Mica (Coide: 1G5) with Black and light grey interior. The 4S7 will be replaced by 4T1 (Beige Metallic) These new colors will go on production in October 07.
