Not sure what SSA stands for but I believe they will be announcing a full automatic transmission.

I thought it stood for a Spyder Racing Association? I know the letters do not match... I am just saying...

Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.
Spyder #3 - 2015 F3 SM6. Put 13,000 miles on and sold it.
Spyder #4 - 2017 F3 SM6. Too good of a deal to pass up!

Full auto trans, hybrid Spyder, or leaning Spyder are my thoughts.
If I have to bet... hybrid Spyder. Which will be great if it *increases* the range in addition to replacing a chunk of the range with electric power.
If a hybrid Spyder (Spybrid?) has the same limited range as the regular Spyder, I guarantee it won't be worth the premium price.

I'm afraid I would have to sell mine. Those who know me know it would upset the world balance if I owned a Harley.

I'm leaning towards the leaning Spyder... 
I saw the Hybrid announcement previously, I was just thinking a second, "Hey, we weren't just putting out a press release about vaporware, here it is in the flesh, we're selling it as a 2012 model for more money than you make but enough to earn a tax break." 
As for the leaning Spyder... I'm really conflicted about that (and not because I just bought a 2010 decidedly NON-leaning RS SE5  ).
Yes, it's cool. Yes, it's probably fun. Yes, it's probably what's missing for many riders. Yes, it'll go far to finally shutting up insecure two-wheelers (if that sort of thing matters to people, of course).
But... BUT: wouldn't a leaning Spyder tank the sales of *regular* Spyders? I figure that BRP would run a serious risk of killing off 2011 sales if they announced a 2012 leaning Spyder (or 2012 sales if everyone knows it's a 2013, etc.). Not only would that cost BRP serious loonies, it'd also hurt all the investments they've made to date in manufacturing and tooling to support the existing Spyder design.
I know many riders love how the Spyder rides-- I know I do!-- but many of us, myself included, see the non-leaning aspect as an unavoidable, and perhaps unfortunate, compromise in the design. Like, if you could build a three-wheeler from scratch with all the computer doo-dads and safety devices this thing has, *why wouldn't* you build a leaning trike if you could afford to price one competitively?
Anyway, I know this subject's come up here before, this is just my two cents. I both want and fear a leaning Spyder so early in the game.

Yeah-- I'm not really too geeked about the leaning Spyder either-- not changing from what I have anytime soon. Thinking another 5 years and the Hybrid will be out and that may be my next Spyder. 
I'm thinking the leaner would be more $$$ so as not to compete with the current models--- not to mention I bet that it's more than a few years away from production.
But you do have a good point about it 'killing' sales --- the RT has killed RS sales in many dealers.
