Could the EVIL Leica be the long awaited digital CL?

Several unanswered questions:

Will it have an M mount or a 4/3 mount? Or perhaps some proprietary new
mount?

APS or 4/3 sensor?

Mega thousand cost like the X1?

X1 with a rangefinder/viewfinder grafted on?

If Leica's production capacity is stretched to the limit with the success of
the M9 and S2, who will make it?


Or is the story just a ploy to slow sales of EVIL cameras made by Panasonic,
Olympus, Sony, and Samsung?


Inquiring minds want to know. I guess we will just have to wait until next
year.
