As revealed in this message board thread on BevNet.com, Pepsi Bottling Ventures will be introducing Pepsi Throwback and Mountain Dew Throwback in Mid-April 2009. BevNet forum members also dug up trademark information in the US Patent Office database showing a couple of the prosepctive label designs (shown above.)
For those of us who buy grey-market Mexican-bottled soft drinks, and who stock up on Kosher for Passover Coke and Pepsi in the spring, this is great news. Early indications are that this may be a limited-time experiment, but I hope that sales are strong enough that PBV and PepsiCo decide to add Throwback to the regular lineup.

I'm not a big Pepsi drinker but I'm going to buy some of this. Mexican Coke is fabulous and I have to restrain myself from buying it....
Love the site. You make me laugh regularly!
That's great to hear. I also saw your post on Kosher Coke. We bought a small load of it as soon as it came on the shelves because it is preferable. We're not big soda drinkers so the stuff will last us awhile.
