Strange move with the colors. With only one more model year to go, it doesn't seem worth discontinuing colors that have been available since the beginning. That makes Matador and Tungsten the only two shades to last the duration.
Not feeling the new gray at all. It's too in the middle, which makes it boring and bland. In my opinion, grays should be light or dark, or they just appear too businesslike. SGM was the best gray I've seen because it's dark, rich, and has depth.
Also surprised about the brown. Traditionally, not a sporty color at all. But it seems to be making a comeback with Porcshe and Audi, so I guess we're back to it.
As far as changing options and features.... forget it. It doesn't happen for the last model year unless the manufacturer is desperate.

Not to get off-topic, but that CT F-Sport is begging for some bigger wheels. It looks like all they did was keep the stock rims but paint them darker. Grrrrr, cheap move.
