I look at it like this, BMW went out of their way to obfuscate the information in their systems to prevent the types of leaks our resident insider can access which means they have something planned they don't want spoiled. (If you read ynguldyn responses to questions they basically took out all the detail and just left placeholders for base and comp) If they were planning on cutting the manual and rwd they would let those leaks sit out there to build acceptance and soften the blow on the traditionalist base when the final details are released.
I hope so, but I think the insiders know, stating no conformation on manual transmission is a hot-button topic. The pure was a fantastic idea, IMO, if that model gets cut, it is disappointing, but if they cut all manuals it is time for a revolution

JK, kind of.....
