Default What's the word out of Spain?

Anyone heard anything definitive about the Turbo engine block and what not?

Most of the rumors we've been hearing seem to be on the money. Of course no one is talking in factual terms yet, but here is what I expect to see:

Short '09 TT production (Sept - Jan perhaps)
Nothing for a few months after that into the winter/spring
Early '10 TT model release in Spring of 2009
GT1 block for '09 TT w/updated PCM/Bluetooth, same exterior/interior styling
M97 block for '10 TT w/likely styling changes (fascia, etc, as seen)
Possibly no TT for '11
New model/redesign '12

Again, just what I'm thinking....

I expect to see the '10 TT released in spring of '09, alongside a parts-bin-dump TTS variant for that final year. Again, just 'guessing' here.
