That's the good news. Now for the bad. He mentions the 2-series coupe will not be introduced until 2008. He's talking calendar year...not model year.
Earliest arrival date is more than a year away. Yikes!
This is starting to feel like a story from the Old Testament with lost tribes wandering in the desert for years in a test of faith.

Also, no mention of the 3-door hatch coming to N/A.

Scott's conclusions aren't written in stone...(ok I'll stop with the biblical references)
but a lot of people, even those who regard themselves as having inside info, give deference to Scott's observations.
I've seen him miss the mark before. He is most accurate when talking about what something will look like and drivetrain set-ups.

If anyone has better info- now's the time to post it.
A 2.5L turbo? Wow :headbang:. However a calender date launch of 08 may be too late for me....
