Maybe a black TC5/DC5 if I were to guess.
Black is offered only on the TOL model 7 for the TR series ... there's only the one 5 model for the TC series but it could be possible.
There was a rumor while ago that SQ is tooling-up a new factory for producing a larger-capacity product.

I've heard that rumor a while ago as well but was told by SQ that it wasn't true.
Maybe they finally added an adjustable timer and water level switch of their TC washers?
Maybe they finally added a heater to their front load washers?

Hopefully as someone said it’s the classic series now available in the black. It was funny how they made only the TR series available in the new matte black color. Forcing anyone who wanted that color to purchase that set only, and they most definitely did this on purpose so they’d be able to sell more of the new models and steal focus from the new classic flexvane models. It would be nice for a thousand plus dollar washer to be available in multiple colors, bisque, red, blue, metallic colors come on it’s 2024, and put some turquoise or cool colored agitators in them, white is so bland and boring as they’ve been doing for decades and Speed Queen certainly needs to step up their game without altering the mechanics of the classic machine.
Or it could be something completely new considering what they did for 2018.

How about...
A TC7?
A TC7?
Maclom, I hope so! All the cycle features of a TR7 but in the classic clean format. Maybe even an ATC fill with a cool rinse option.
I notice the TR series is being carried on Best Buy's site, so perhaps this has created enough customer demand for an old school lineup.
One can hope/wish for a dream come true.

Best Buy.
They are only sold at a few locations in CA. Doubt it creates much demand.
"Specialty Item
This item is only available for purchase at Pacific Kitchen and Home Showrooms, which are exclusive to Southern California"

Its only the beginning. As these do well in specific stores their offering will spread. Once Best Buy has them at the majority of their locations other retailers will follow. Each day more and more PCrichards stores are now displaying Speed Queen on their sales floors where previously they were not:
This is where Speed Queen's success will take off. Once availability spreads Speed Queen will become a household name synonymous with trusted results.
Speed Queen has a product. They just need people to touch, see, feel, and talk in order to buy it.

Speed Queen is already a household name.
Selling in big box stores has killed many brands, as they cut quality control to keep up with demand. And cheapen quality to meet a new price point. Then they get bought out...
I don't think that's what SQ wants.

Speed Queen Home Laundry
I wonder what's coming on the horizon. What are the chances it will be a Texas Edition?

Insofar nothing has been cheapened for PC Richards.
You seriously believe the average joe on the street knows what a Speed Queen is? Many still have no idea. Being able to see one in person will motivate people to buy, and once word gets around that number will only increase.
Nothing has to be cheapened. Keep the price as is. The rest will follow.

I agree with what you said. Also, the average joe doesn't care about the design. All he knows is that all washers and dryers are the same except capacity and loading configuration.

I agree. The average joe has no clue whats going on, nor do most care let alone have the ability to tell a splutch from a transmission. Hence why names are so important. If the average joe equates the name Speed Queen with clean, long lasting, trouble free, quality, value, maximized investment, sleek, ect then Speed Queen will become an impulsive buy. People are unsure about what they are buying, hence they need to be either told what to buy, or watch many others buy them same thing.
Speed Queen right now is at a cusp, at a cross roads, ready to make history. If Speed Queens wins this, history will change forever. Once Speed Queen becomes a major player Whirlpool, Haier, Electrolux, LG, Bosch, Samsung and others will be forced to change their product lineup and warranty to rival that of Speed Queen. Prices will go down while quality will shoot right up. A turn around that should've taken place 30 years ago.

Speed Queen Victory
Either way, Speed Queen Home could have a huge victory on their hands. This will be an exciting time for them.

Massive victory, not just for them, but every single joe buying an appliance. Speed Queen will drive real competition. Whirlpool and others will be forced to both improve and innovate.
agitation
What will their agitation and agitators be like on the new Speed Queen Home models?

Alliance Laundry Systems is world leading manufacturer of commercial laundry appliances. They dominate OPL, laundromat, vended laundry, etc....
Unlike SQ of old don't see Alliance seriously making any huge plays into domestic laundry market more than they have done already. There may be innovations and whatever for their H-axis and top loading washers, but don't see ALS going down rabbit hole of chasing market share against Asians, Whirlpool and so on.
SQ washers for domestic use IIRC are largely nothing more under bonnet than their commercial cousins. Certain bits are changed to make washers and dryers more palatable to residential users, overall however things are what they simply are. This is not a bad thing.
Top loading washers with central beaters are on their last legs. It's to SQ's credit they are attempting to keep that platform going long than many would expect.
Ever strict energy use standards for washing machines are slowly but surely killing off top loaders. It seems all but certain Harris will win in November and she's from California, a hot bed of energy restriction laws. Thus don't look to her administration to stop or roll back any of what DOE has done under Biden.
SQ also markets TLs IIRC for vented route sales, OPL, multifamily and perhaps laundromats. Last one from what one has seen have been ditching top loaders.
ALS has also been pushing expansion in Asia and Europe. Again largely commercial/OPL, laundromat and such laundry.
