Their explanation at the time was that Porsche builds
new cars with the same number all the time.
As does BMW - the new 5 Series Beamer is called a G30
within the company, but remains a 5 Series for
customers, whatever the generation.

I suspect you are right. Planned obsolescence has great value, even for
Rolls-Royce!

My baseless guess is Leica has found out there's greater retail sales value in---
putting a new number after the M (M3-M5-M6-M8-M9) than there is in just having
the M always hanging there all alone. That's my guess anyways.
Sincerely,
Richard.

Some time ago, Leica announced that they would no longer have "numbers" after the "M" ...
but rather all new Leica's would be Leica "M"s, with a Type number to indicate which style it was.
So, why is it that Mirrorless Rumours, and other sites are saying "Leica M10 will be
announced in mid January." In the case of the M-10, it is a type 3656.
Does anyone know about the change, and why? Was labeling them all as "M"s a
marketing flop? Curious minds want to know!
David.
