Angry Evo IX Colors.... No Graphite??!

I have been ready to buy the new IX MR in Graphite... Love the color. I just looked at the UK Mitsubishi site at the color selection.... and don't see graphite as an option. i think i saw the same colors on the japan site.

http://www.mitsubishi-cars.co.uk/evolution/colour.asp

does anyone know if we will get the same color options? safe to assume?

Where'd you get that info?

EDIT: Never mind, I looked at that U.K. link and see that all the colors' names are changed. Amethist Black looks like it might have some metallic in it .

My specutlation is there are no such things as 06 MR's outside the USDM. If you look at all the markets for the EVO IX there are no GG cars. Why would they just paint that for the USDM? I think that would be cost prohibitive for Mitsubishi. Until someone shows me a pick of one or some kind of proof, I doubt there will be any GG EVO IX MR's or any trim level.
