New Bessa?

According to UK magazine Amateur Photographer, Cosina has discontinued the
Voigtlander Bessa R2 in preparation for two new bodies- one featuring
M7-style automation. Anyone any further information/rumours to discuss?

Lots of wild speculation in various forums (fora?) that I look at, but nothing
specific. Everything ranging from another digital a.la. RD-1 except maybe B&W,
to a Bessa R3 with only AE added using a hybrid FM3a shutter, longer RF
baseline length, TTL flash, variable viewfinder magnification, M mount vs. LTM,
and so on. Expect an announcement at Photokina in Sep. It's all just guess work
or wishlists.

Good time to buy a Bessa R :-) $400 US with a 35/2.5C, or $250 for the body.
