, but they did drop the ball a bit by not having a four door 1 or 2 ready sooner.
Good point, but isn't the N20 already part of the same modular family that the B38 is in? The N20 is still pretty much brand new. I would say if a M2 prototype is seen within the next year and a half, it is probably N20 based. After that, its anyones guess. Although unlikely because of cost issues, another possibility is a hack job like they did on the S14. Bear in mind all of this is 100% speculation.
