That's the way it looks to me as well. I think they're going to try to gussy up a 6, call it an 8, and charge $20 - $30K more for it. They may have gotten away with it if they maintained the 8 Concept's styling. But it looks like the production version will just be a warmed over current-gen 6 (a two-door G30).
