well here we go. six years till the first delivery? sounds like thats just long enough for boeing to develop a new 737 family aka 797? your thoughts?
Here's the new 737 MAX announcement they just put out...

Looks alot like a 737 with 787 engines.
Notice the new APU too. This is kinda like an entire new 737.
Boeing will keep the 737 or a successor 837 trading on the well known name but install large groups of 787 technology...wings and material to lighten the fully fueled TO weight. We might see a whole family of 800 designated craft from a 817 to compete in the 100-120 group, 827 etc.
It is obvious the 700 family has run its course with only 797 left and this would be a good opportunity for Boeing to move on with its improved technology...and corporate relocation to Texas or another low tax state.

Does any one know what "MAX" stands for? Like how airbus has the new
A320 "NEO" witch means "new engine option"
And why is it going to take them so long to delver the new plane? I mean, there are only a few changes that will effect the design and all, it's the 787 all over again.
