You guys have hit the nail RIGHT on the head... "These are the voyagers of the Space Shuttle Enterprise!"
YES!

Hey thanks. I haven't bought them yet. I have too many models to build right now. I may buy them in the next month or two though. I'll remember to talk about them on my site.

If the ship doesn't have nacelles then it could only mean that that 1. They are designing a new ship that could look alot like Duantless 2. This is way in the future where warp drive in obsolete. 3. The new series might be based BEFORE First Contact.
I don't believe in rumors until I see the ship or the series on my TV or computer.

Erm, if it's based before First Contact, then not only would the ship not have ncelles; it wouldn't have humans on it.

Getting briefly back to the whole "nacelles" definition thing...
Nacelle and pod are interchangable terms, in that both are separate from the main structure of the vehicle. What the Defiant has are properly described as cowlings or fairings.

Maybe it'll be on a Cargo vessel... some of those like the Batris? or the Xhosa? Don't have visible nacelles.

Maybe for the TMP Special Edition, they'll replace that starliner picture with this pre-Starfleet Enterprise...but I'm not holding my breath.
I'm surprised no one has come to the (unfounded)conclusion that IF the show is set not in the past but in the future, and IF the ship is going to be called the Enterprise, and IF she has a propulsion system that doesn't require nacelles, then perhaps she's the Enterprise-F! That way, Picard and crew could happily continue to make movies with the Enterprise-E, and a future crew could trek around in the Ent-F on television. Kinda like...how TNG branched off from the classic movies!
After all, John Eaves designed the Ent-E, so why not the Ent-F?

Except that Marina Sirties asked Berman if there would be a role for her on the new series (Dorn-syndrome, I guess), and Berman told her no, because it's set in a different time frame.
No -F

And TNG was set three starships on from the movies. I doubt that the new show would have the Enterprise-F. The Enterprise-H, maybe.

Yes, but my point wasn't which letter Enterprise would be used, but rather if the show was set in the future and revolves around an Enterprise, it would make more sense with a ship with no warp nacelles. This rumor would imply that either the ship is more advanced than *present day* warp-nacelled starships, or that it was pre-warp.
Let's think about this. Pre-warp? What kind of propulsion system would it have, then? Impulse drive? Nuclear rockets? And just how long would space travel take with a ship with no warp drive?

Well, letsalope thinks that the ships already travel slower than light speed, so it'd be the same. Nyah.
