Hello Chris & welcome..
If only we could look into the future, eh..?
1. In recent years the factory have announced price hikes annually around Spring time, so the Anniversary Deal sounds good..
2. The Wide body was introduced around the Millennium or a shade earlier I believe, and all body tubs are now standardised in size regardless of engine, the differing overall widths being down to wheel offsets and tyre sizes.
In truth, the factory have announced nothing publicly save for the fact that the UK market will have the Sigma 1600 engine fitment paused due to non compliance with legislation. The car is still thought to be continued for overseas markets.
Popular opinion has it that an alloy chassis car will be revealed at the Geneva 2019 show.
Everything else is just conjecture, so talk to a dealer or two for the official lines.
Whether you should wait to buy or not is down to you, but what I will say is follow your heart because tomorrow may never come.. Life is like that.
Good hunting..!
