They seem to be calling the whole non-S range an M something, looks like 
marketing taking over from engineering given only one of this range is

My guess, an XE-1 equivalent with the 240 sensor and the upcoming VF-4 
viewfinder, taking M lenses natively and R with the (yet to be released) 
adaptor......
