Agree, I was just wondering why they aren't offering it at this time, or even announce that they were going to look at the option of offering a 912iS package.

I said "phased out", of course they're going to continue the production of the carb 912, but sooner or later it will ceased production in favor of the 912iS. Simply because either the price will come down, or people will be ordering more of the iS than the carb engine.
