I wouldn't buy into that one.

They're still readily availible here in the US.

Also, it wouldn't make sense to elimiate it as a factory tuning option for thos S owners out there that want a boost down the road, but don't want to mess with their factory warranty.

I think it's more likely that they'll set the factory car apart by making it put up some big power figures, have some monsterous stopping power and come with an extra-special body kit.
