[sammy]

EDIT:

Still the old eBrochure on the Toyota site

And why do they give you the option of Private or Business on their pricing page, the difference on the $74k Grande is $15!! That's ridiculous!

I would advise against Toyota's rear seat entertainment systems simply due to cost.

They are about $6k or something crazy!!

Toyota press release http://news.toyota.com.au/kluger-moves-to-the-next-level

[Happs]

Please can someone explain to me why the cheaper variants get USB input (unless they option Sat Nav), but the Grande with Sat Nav doesn't. This is 2010/11 right? A $75,000 car that you can't plug a portable music device into is ridiculous!

[Scud]

I'm guessing the sat nav unit simply isn't designed to take the USB input.

[Happs]

I'm guessing the sat nav unit simply isn't designed to take the USB input.

Absolutely, by why in the world not! A $11k Getz does. It's not expensive or difficult so it just baffles me.

There are some after market options to add one, but it should be standard.

Or may be wait for the next facelift :-)

It looks like someone at Toyota has noticed the Lexus logo on the nudge bar...there is now no nudgebar for the Kluger on the website. Well done on grabing those images when you did Scud!

Can anyone confirm if the nudge bard has been 'facelifted' or was this just a mistake on teh website?

Today is the day that my car is due to arive at the dealer...fingers crossed.

G'luck Phil.

Mine was supposed to be there yesterday. Pick up Monday. I'll be calling the stock controller this morning as the tracking system shows it as not being delivered to the dealer yet.

:( looks like it will be sometime early next week for me too - subject to the availability of the nudge bar and side steps. Should have by my wife's birthday next year at this rate...

Tow bar and parking sensors go on today.

:D

Looking like Wednesday

[Happs]

Can anyone please tell me if there is a child safety seat point on the 3rd row of the new Kluger?

[Scud]

No, no Toyota's have child safety points in the 3rd row.

[nealo]

Don't think I'd be happy getting a new Grande and getting the same alloy's as the "special edition" of the previous model.

[Scud]

Those alloys are in fact off the top of the line in the States, but you make a fair statement I kinda thought the same thing.

Just had a call, Tuesday now for me :(

[Scud]

The car will be long remembered, the wait will not.

Keep telling yourself this ;)

[PhilG]

Thanks Scud!

Bad news Pugsly...

One a positive note my wife saw the new TV ad last night and said how much she loved the new look Kluger :D

Picking up my AWD Grande on Wednesday. Yipee !

On another note,I asked my dealer to stump up a couple of tickets to the motor show & he reckoned they didn't have any to hand out.....

[Scud]

Dealers don't get motorshow tickets.

[Bluesalt]

Picking up my Kluger Grande on Monday! Can't wait....

Btw...my dealer even offered a car to use until I get mine! Very decent I reckon.

[THMosch]

Picked up my new kluger yesterday afternoon, it is such a brilliant refined car to drive.

Congratulations!!!

I'm looking forward to seeing a new one in the flesh.

[reyvilla]

Congratulations! What model did you get? Any photos?

[THMosch]

Thanks guys,

I got the Grande AWD in Graphite. The weather here in Adelaide is shocking at the moment its been raining on/off all weekend, poor car already needs a wash. I'll post some pics when she is nice and clean.
