Im not even sure Kirby even had a real ‘modern’ engineering department over the last decade. Likely fired all those old dudes years ago and just farmed out minor engineering and design stuff. An all new machine was never going to happen, and likely still wont happen. I’m just expecting them to cut cost, cut complexity, cut out executives, cut out dealers, and etc. I wouldn’t be surprised if a pre-G3 model is resurrected for the sake of its simplicity and the current G3-variant ceases for good.
