New Leica M-E successor on the horizon?

The likely less popular of all M cameras will get a replacement soon according to LeicaRumors sources:

The new camera will be called M-S or M-E2 and will have the same 18MP CCD sensor with updated LCD screen and new battery (probably from the M 240).

For those of you that don’t know it the Leica M-E is the “cheapest” M camera form Leica. Costs $5450 only (here at BHphoto). A real bargain :)
