I think it's probably the opposite. They know they have some serious competition and have probably gone back to the drawing board. Expect the K8 to be a winner.

Other way 'round I'd guess, the competition is good, too good for a minor revamp to hold sales. Hopefully they've decided to rethink comprehensively.

Ooops post cross with that man Jonboy, but at least this shows he's thinking this time - he must be to have made so much sense as to agree with me.

Nah, they'll just stick an even heavier and more enormous end can on.
That won't help, Euro 3 is more than just noise - it's very comprehensive on mucky emissions too.

First there was the curvy, then the pointy, but what next!??

The roundy? the elipsy?, the squarey?

The can has the catalytic convertor in it, thought that was why it was so heavy, and why it runs ridiculously hot.
