Diesel upgrade
On Nov 1st Oz will go to Euro5 diesel regs See: http://www.dieselnet.com/standards/au/#my02
Does this mean the facelift will get the European 140kW/420Nm D4D which was introduced for their Euro5 regs?

Dealer looked up the bulletin today, facelift Kakadu will have blind spot icon in mirror. They said that don't expect every feature in other markets including appearance to be the same in Australia. Many changes for GX and GXL. They said the current Prado looks different in China, Europe, NZ etc. A build request was put in by them within the past week and it is still the current model. Delivery is expected in 3 - 4 months, so they think the new one will not hit our roads until December at the earliest. This is not my opinion, but that of our dealer2013 Kakadu, pearl white, Cooper ST MAXX 275 65 18 123Q tyres, Safari Snorkel, ARB UVP, diff breathers, UHF GME TX3345, Red Arc 2nd battery, BMW luggage hdp, tint, ARB bull bar, synthetic winch, OME 2" lift, LED Intensity spot lights, ARB side steps, Kaymar rear bumper with 2 JC, spare and LED pole ligh, ARB compressor, ARB front air locker, Toyota rear diff lock.

Wow the DRLs are in a weird spot. Tricky to see once the bar is on. New bits are neither attractive or ugly to me, just different. Thanks for the link.My 150 build - http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread.php?27423-A-Random-approach-to-a-Bluestorm-150-GXL-D4D-automatic

Don't mind the new front. The interior is different, not sure if I like it or not will have to reserve that decision until I see the real thing.
What gets me though is if they are going to put the spare underneath, why then have they retained the stupid Barn door? I would have thought by far the better option would be a split opening door like the 200.2012 D4D GXL Auto - Graphite with some TJM enhancement.
