Just looked at it, it is nothing new, it was posted here months ago.
What I found interesting.. at least to you guys in Europe. The quote at the bottom of the pic says that the car will come to Europe in SMG only form, while the US will get a 6 speed manual or SMG.

Hi!!
I find it pretty unlikely that if they bother to make a manual version they would take it only to US, thereīs no logic in that. Partly because itīs traditionally Europe that is the bigger market for manual cars(Americans seem to be fond of automatic gb:s ) and partly that if they make both versions, its economically sound to get the numbers of produced items up to reduce cost/produced ca, they have to cover development costs etc.
But hey, time will tell..

I agree totally.. that is why I found it interesting. Logically, it doesn't make any sense to do that, unless they found that the vast majority of Europeans wanted SMG over manual. And even then, it only partially make sense. Maybe the true story is they are going to allow cars to be ordered with manual.. but dealer orders (not customer special orders) will all be SMG?

That could very well be possible. Interesting possibility...
