I'm not sure how I feel about that...

The pic on Instagram is a Pro M Frame with the original Hybrid lens.

I wish there were some photos of the new M-Frame/M2.

I actually have a pic of the Matte Black w/ OO Red Polar... I have to check and see if I can post it.. If I can then I will. Its pretty sweet though. I loved it when I tried it on.

It is true that Oakley is planning these releases, and a few more real carbon fiber models.

The new Carbon Fiber glass does exist... The frame is 100% carbon fiber, the real stuff, and the temple is a block of titanium. Half frame, which makes it incredibly incredibly light. The release for it wasn't slated when I tried them on. They will be coming though.

Do you know the price range for them? C6 (over a grand), Pitboss (600), X metal(3-400), or JFL (250) price tiers?

Right, but they did similar picture posts before the 30th Anniv. pictures started appearing for the blades and eyeshades. So it might be a hint the M2 or whatever they will call it is more than just a rumor.

They're actually called the Carbon Pro from what I was told. The Ferrari one will be 600 and the standard ones will be 500. They are all polarized as well. This is all going off what I was told a while ago so keep that in mind as things may change...

If they can stay in this line of pricing as opposed to the $1500 for the C-6 aluminum I think it should do pretty well. Especially if there is a lot of true carbon fiber within the frame build.

The entire frame, less the lens and temple connection, was carbon fiber, so my hope is that they start a series built off this premise... I do agree with you though on that. I think they'll do quite well, especially because of the weight and the fact that they fit like a glove, for me at least.
