Since we are speculating.. Could it be an airport since it's a pic of flying trolley buses and a flying metro(?)?

We have updated our Community Code of Conduct. Please read through the new rules for the forum that are an integral part of Paradox Interactive’s User Agreement.
It probably isn't an airport.
If we want to make some detective work:
1) The devs said: "I can tell you it's nothing flying"
2) First picture looks like a monorail in gift wrap (look at the tracks)
3) In the DLC list under CiM2 properties on Steam, you can find "Marvellous Monorails"
4) Sherlock is coming back on January, so I have a good excuse to play detective

Besides being under the dark winter of Finland, we are also on Christmas vacations on 26th of Dec as are the good people at Paradox I believe
Let's add this to the speculation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_holidays_in_Finland
It's just for fun though, since Paradox is still the one who'll let you know when something will be released (I can tell you it's nothing flying).
hm...there's an epiphany day on Jan 6, can that be the day of announcement or something?
I wonder whether nobody here read the newest Paradox newsletter?
It clearly states that a Monorail is coming and even included an image.

Maybe it is the Caterpillar from the CIM1 Design quirks DLC...
Only just realised I havent been getting it. Fixed it now. Anyway, given the lack of this newsletter, could you please share the image?

Ah, I thought you were referring to something else. There was a link earlier to that page but thanks anyway.
Like I said, could be the caterpillar from CiM1

For just monorails, its taking a loooong time. Other than the track config, its the same as an above ground metro, so I can't see how implementation would take so long to release as a DLC, especially considering how fast CIM2 was created from scratch.
My guess is Colossal Order is ALSO working on a new game, and If I had to put money on it, I'd say its something along the lines of 'Industry Giant 2'. I say this because CIM is very similar to 'Traffic Giant', also by the developer JoWood who created the Industry Giant series.
Also, its a bit insulting that Paradox Interactive give us a teaser for CIM, to tell us enthusiasts what we already worked out ourselves, could of told us something we didn't know. No offense to Colossol Order on that comment, respect the fact you got to leave the announcements to the publisher.

It's obviously a maglev train, duh. it's hovering! /s.
Keep in mind that it might sound trivial to do but - as anything programming and design-related - it takes time to do. You need to code the whole thing into the existing game without braking anything and it must all be designed, modelled, textured etc. It also needs to be compatible with existing saves, and we know there have been problems with this before, so it's not trivial.

Also keep in mind that they don't have to release as soon as its finished. Announcements and release schedules are done based on events that happen, such as Paradox Convention and others.
Obviously CO is working on something else, for CiM 2 and other projects.

As much as I would love it to be another game, you all have to consider that our expectations must not be set as high. We will get inevitably disappointed with whatever we will get. For that reason alone I would just like some technical adjustments + monorail for CIM2, nothing more. I rather have a polished version of CIM2 than a new buggy release of something that is not even tested yet properly.
mabaker's advice is sound.
I'll be sticking to my personal rule "no expectations, no disappointments." A bit bleak perhaps but it has served me well except for when I've broken it.

Exactly! Its the caterpillar
Its a monorails http://sklep.gram.pl/digi/cities-in-motion-2-marvellous-monorails-wersja-cyfrowa.shtml
Thanks for that! Looks great.
However, it's a bit sad that the tracks a still floating above roads
EDIT: Acccording to xe.com, today 30.90 PLN = 7.43078 EUR. That's an OK price for completely new content IMO.

Cities In Motion 2: Marvellous Monorails (DLC)
SRP = $9.99
And What's CO next ? CIM3 or CIM2 others ? I want to know.

For me it just looks like a new skin for metro. Little bit disappointing (monorails only usable in one direction, still no pillars when rails are placed on top of streets...)
