This is an interesting writeup on the new 2009 KTM 250XC, sounds like a brilliant bike alright!
I’ve ridden a 2008 450 XC a little bit and really liked it. In case you’re wondering, the XC is the American version of the EXC.
Here’s a link to the article on Dirtrider:

I’m sure some of you 2T heads will now rush off to see how much it costs to import a bike from the US :).
