Copy of a post to the Leica photo.net forum:

THE LEICA MP IS FACT, NOT RUMOR.  I just got an email from Sam Shoshan. 
  It is all mechanical, looks like MP-6 except the finishes are balck 
and silver chrome.  Will cost $ 2595 (MAP), which is quite expensive 
for what is essentially your slightly modified and gussied up M6-TTL.  
 From what I can see, this price is for the regular baseplate.  The 
Leicavit-M baseplate is extra ($ 895 MAP) and the MP case can be had 
for [only] $ 249.  Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe 
this is just a very expensive primped up M6-TTL (with Leicavit an extra 
900).
