A camera beyond the K-5 does not make any sense for Pentax IMHO - unless they introduce a further base model.
FWIW, this MN design looks like the good 'ol 70s to me. The camera will have a very female look then it seems.

IMO K-5 replacement will come in autumn, maybe Photokina. It was never officially confirmed it is discontinued, while K-r is discontinued officially. This new camera might be a replace of K-r, or additional model in lineup.

Well, not much left to wait.
