Those costs will not be passed on to the consumer, but will go to increase the company's profit margins. To be sure, the next-gen X1 will not be cheaper than the current-gen.

They are replacing the RWD X1 with a FWD X1, the RWD 1-series with a FWD 1-series, and the RWD 2-series with a FWD 2-series. And if we're being technical, they're also replacing the RWD Z1 with a FWD Z2.
This is wrong. Read the link in the article. There will be FWD and RWD 1 series and 2 series will be RWD.
I agree. I don't ever recall them making a 2er FWD. A key point of making a 2-series in the first place was to make room for the 1er FWD line.
