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

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.
