Every single technical detail of the reports has come from speculation by one auto single 'journalist' who has made plenty of predictions in the past and been plenty wrong about them.

Georg Kacher was the guy who started all sorts of rumormill on BMW making the 1-series front-wheel-drive a few years ago. That sure as s*** didn't happen.

It's just selling magazines. Or in this day and age, page clicks.

They also said that the next generation 911 would be based on an Audi R8-derived platform- that was back a few years ago- and that twas completely false. Yes, the new 911 has aluminum in the body-in-white structure. But it is not a Audi R8 platform or even close to something derived from the ASF foundation cars.

Maybe I can make a career out of being an engineer solely to write more realistic articles on how car companies are operating. Because the car-bloggers of today haven't gotten it right just yet.
