Is the DMC-GX1 about to be upstaged by another Panasonic product?

The British online magazine Amateur Photographer reports that Panasonic is planning to add a "very high end" camera to its lineup.

This information is attributed to Ichiro Kitao, director of Panasonic's digital still camera business.
I do find this intriguing, as Olympus brings out the OM-D. Personally, I really enjoy the relative low cost of Panasonic's Micro 4/3 camera bodies. Even though modest in price, the DMC-G3 offers excellent sensor technology, a great electronic viewfinder, and many practical features.
I guess that I may be attracted to an upscale version, but find little lacking in the current lineup. It's not like Panasonic has a legendary past in still cameras to "go retro" with; Olympus certainly does. That said, if Panasonic took from the styling of some other manufacturer's classics (think Leica, Fuji, etc.), they may have something great.
I look forward to seeing what, if anything, this means in terms of new product offerings in the near future!
