We don't have independent confirmation of that yet. I've put a call into a source, we'll see what they come back with. Blue OTG 22.5" is still on Amazon for $159 with free shipping...if you have always wanted one, why not buy now?
Could be worse...you could have been busted for researching something embarrassing...like something other than a Weber!
Don't hold your breath waiting for a new red grill...but you can find an old one out there somewhere and refurbish it. Good luck!
Rumor on the street is Crimson Red for the '14 model year. Hope this one comes to fruition. lol
Given that Weber is paying a lot of attention to what their customers are doing online, and no doubt being aware of the popularity of old redheads, it would make sense for them to work hard on coming up with a red color that's a good, solid red. We'll never go back to the old red, but there's got to be something better than brick red or burgundy or maroon of the past. Right?
Seems like wherever there's a weld, it's always the weak spot. I'm disappointed to see rust starting to form around the lid handle of my 26.75" kettle, and it's only 5 years old and has been kept warm and dry, for the most part. Bummer.

I was looking at examples of crimson red online...kind of a darker shade of red, but still identifiable as red. It would be a good compromise, I think. Let's hope Weber found a good supplier for this material!
Weber has offered copper in the past...see an example here.
