It's only TEMPORARY. Sometimes this happens, for whatever reason in production, that when a color is not going to be offered for the next year, it is "built out" before the end of the current model year.
Silver is back for '09 and the difference is indistinguishable, essentially, with the new Radiant Silver.
Should there be a better system in place so that there aren't orders placed that then can't or won't be filled properly? Yes. Should colors build out before the end of the model year? Again, yes, but it just works out this way sometimes.
It is an inconvenience but silver and specifically the Light Platinum is SUCH a common and frequently ordered color, there should be many matches already built and sitting (at least for a few days...) somewhere out there. Ideally, your dealers could find them AND the other dealers would be willing to swap, but if not, just take it for what it is and go to wherever they are to buy.
