Dear HH'ers , whilst this thread has been enormously interesting, the emphasis has to be placed on its underlying speculation; as we have heard diddly sqauat from the mothership, (apart from Sir Bob telling us that he is alive & life in the workshop continues). I personally think they have blabbed off their intentions & wares in the near future to appease their new paymasters. None of the stuff is set in stone & I suspect that no one will ever see a V6 (new) south of Easter. As for the 8x brigade (myself included) nothing has been formalised & I suspect its still in conjecture within the shell of the mothership. They have all been extrodinarily busy at this time of the year is the silly season for shows etc. They wont have a definate gameplan until all the dust settles & they get back to adress all the issues gotten from all the various meetings with feedback from the industry & channel. I eagerly await the price table, which I speculate will be in the region of �4k for a full trade-in (plus they will have to figure out the best rate)based on the currency they trade in.
Just my 20 pence worth (slightly more than 10 cents at the mo!!)..
Those of us that have been buying M kit for all these years, know they make statements of intent & design, sometimes it comes out, sometimes it gets scuppered due to unknown commercial reasons.
