wagnerx5 is of course right. speculating, forming opinions, and asking questions is certainly outside the scope of an automotive forum. and the administrators, who specifically opened this forum 8-9 months before the E70's official birth could not have intended that folk would begin to piece together this puzzle without the benefit of all of it's parts. Surely we should stifle our humanoid nature to form opinions on what we know or think we know or question what the future might hold. It's all so pointless. So I am throwing my hat in with wagnerx5.....no more questions, opinions, or speculations on anything until wagner says it's okay. And even when he does approve, questions, opinions, and speculations....I'll be sure to look to him for more answers.
