Any metal tank '07's in the U.S.?

The dealer called to say my bike was in.I asked if it had the metal tank(as we had discussed before I gave him a deposit) he checked and said "no".He talked to the Triumph rep who said that ALL U.S. spec S3's have plastic tanks.Now I'm wondering which ECU it has.
Am I getting jerked around? Any metal tanks over here?

I have an '07 with a plastic tank, but everything else is '07 spec. Look for stainless steel exhaust heat shields and a little shield on the exhaust by your right foot. Oh and the best tell tale of the new ECU, is the fax sound after the bike is shut down.

You're getting jerked around. I've seen metal tanks on S3's at the dealership...But they came out very late in '07. The '08's all have metal tanks. DGA is right on with the rest of the stuff.
