I'm in the process for sorting out the finance on a new 2013 Kakadu for which I paid a deposit last week. Have I made a mistake? Should I have waited for the new model?

No mistake because you should have gotten a really good deal on the out going style, and there is really only small cosmetic changes.

Only you can decide if you have done the right thing though I think Schrader has it right. If there are major changes with driveline etc then the new model might be worth waiting for but as it is all the accessories you will now need to buy have been tried! Not need to wait for 6 months for a new bullbar which may or may not suit etc.

Just heard from my dealer that delivery of new stock to turn up this Thursday the 24th. Media embargo will be in place till early Nov then public launch.

This also matches with what I've been told - dealers expecting to have further details (pricing?) this week then main release around 11 November.

Maomaocat - if it helps the dealer I spoke to mentioned they expect most changes in specifications to be on GX and VX

Had a call from my local dealer last Friday and they're registering a Kakadu and having test drives next week ?

Who would have thought they could make the 150 bar uglier...

That's a really clever web page, lets you play with the colours and accessories to see how they look on the Prado as well as a 360 degree view thingy. I'm not sure how I feel about the rear light setup, a bit Volvo XC90ish.

That bar just makes ARB's job that much easier... The Toyota bar looks like vomit.

Don't ARB make the factory bars for Toyota?

Remarkably little change at GXL level. After all the talk on new bits and pieces from overseas models I can't see much change in anything. Probably moved switch gear around and upgraded the stereo controls to a touch screen which I hate. Can't find inside pics.
