I've had all three, and my view is:
DB01: with the right hopups best novice car
501: awesome car, difficult to work on
511: more nimble than the 501 and much easier to work on!
The more nimble bit is a personal thing though, not sure all would agree!
Also, the 501/511 seem to suit a variety of styles, can go smooth or chuck them about!
As for a new car, it's been nearly a year so I guess somethings coming, I've no inside knowledge but would guess a mild update/lipo friendly or hopped up version of the current 511 rather than all new. Can't see them going shaft myself as their onroad etc is also belt (in fact I don't think the drivetrain design was in house!) but guess you never know! I could well be wrong on this mind!!
