FWIW I've done some "spirited" driving on the freeway accelerating from a cruising 70mph up to nearly 85mph doing some passing etc. and the 3.0si is in no way "underpowered" unless you're coming from a 4.8 and used to much more. This thing already kicks @$$ - I ask myself everytime what I'd do with a 4.8 after just experiencing that in a 3.0.

And I have also asked about the twin turbo gasoline for nearly 6 months now, on these boards, and have never gotten a response. Hopefully more and more of these posts will wake some execs up. Too late for me though... but at least I already have an E70 and enjoy it thoroughly. Don't really need more and certainly not willing to wait till November just for a "maybe".
