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.

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