This is in agreement with what my source tells me. It is said that this digital camera 
will have a film sibling as well. And again, it is supposedly stunningly good looking.

I doubt this is to be taken litterally; the EI2000 is certainly not a stunning looker. 
Anyhow, I suspect (but don't know why!) that the camera(s) have design clues taken 
from Pentax current digital efferings.
