SEARCH and you'll find the actual spypics and PSs used for the article.

The spypics have been posted in at least three other threads allready.

My sources tell me that it will resemble the the CS (my avatar ) ,so I think this could be the most realistic shot of any we have seen here so far.

The article in Autocar says it's due in March 2009 and there will be a twin-turbo 4.4 litre V8 with 400hp and in 2010 there will be a hybrid versions (pertol and diesel hybrids).
