oooooooh yeah I made sure of that, they are calling it the MY07.
It has a the new CRD motor 120kw 360nm and a new box.
Intercooler now sits on top of engine and has a scoop thingy on the bonnet. Not the most attractive thing but it does get it plenty of cool(er) air
The front sheet metal, grille and headlights are different as are tailgate, taillights, wheel arches, Rest is the same. In other words a classic update trick. Change the bits that are easy to change and leave the others alone.
The interior has some new plastic bits, the rest was OK anyway. seats seem a lot better now. The old ones were probably the worst feature of that car (for me anyway)
I was surprised that ARB has the bar (I checked very very thoroughly)
ARB
Cairns had fitted 3 or 4 already, Currently a three week wait for production.
Apparently they are selling their head off.
As to the discount, only thing I can put it down to is Holden not wanting to fall behind being the last to release the new/updated vehicle.
I read somewhere that Rodeo is No 2 in its class behind Hilux and is Holdens no 2 name plate behind Commodore. (No doubt someone will correct me if I'm mistaken here) In any case there is an awful lot of them around.
I rather suspect the discounts won't be around for ever, if they are, the others will have to do some adjusting to prices too, or get caught out in the rush.
