I live in the Uk and my dealer confirmed that a super charged 3.2 is due out in 2005. He did not comment on price. I would make a bet that this is to compete with Audi's new tt with a 3.2 ltr v-6. Values should hold if the make the new model 6-7k more expensive. Just like the tt some will opt for the smaller engine. Reminds me of what Carl Shelby did for the mustang. He made the a top of the line car but most bought the smaller engine version. I beleive Carl said it best "that the Mustang Gt 500 was chum for the Mustang line".
