We've got two car seats fitted and were also concerned about them damaging the leather as they will be on for a few more years. The best solution we found was to find a bath mat that matched the colour of the leather and put underneath. Not only are they thick enough to offer some protection, the rubber backing means they don't slip. We eventually found one that is the exact colour as the leather - almost look like they came with the car and you can hardly notice them.

I didn't know they weren't available yet? I ordered them for mine, but it's only due in late December so the dealer didn't say anything to me about it? I picked up my new Kluger Grande last week and it has side steps. Got mine too. Pretty sure they are unchanged unlike the nudge bar.

Can't really notice with the side steps. Interesting that they showed it in black...I would have some concerns over the new chrome strips at the bottom of the doors with some other colours.

Will try and post some tomorrow. Not sure what you mean about the carpet...hopefully some photos will help. The nudge bar is a BIG improvement. Was having second thoughts....

So do you have anymore info like links etc? Recalling 2011 Kluger......bit early one would think lol Good call -I'm a year ahead of myself!

Thought someone should start a thread about the recall of some Klugers announced today...

Loving my Grande. Glad I waited, the new styling looks great IMO. Struggling a bit with finding my way around the technology and I'm a geek! The ride is fantasic - the AWD was worth the extra and the nudge bar is a big improvement on the old design. Will try and post some photos on the weekend. Very happy and great service from Greg at Bill Buckle in Brookvale.

Today is the day...picking up my new K-Grande AWD in a few hours!

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

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 No car for me this weekend :-( Looking like Wednesday

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.

Perhaps the stock shortages are due to the new design nudge bar for the facelifted Kuger?

Good call on teh nudge bar looking like the Lexus Scud...just had a closer look on teh website http://www.toyota.com.au/kluger/accessories/exterior Are my eyes playing up or is that a Lexus logo on the mount?

Except it's been in this status since I could see it in the tracking system from the 7th, and the initial date was the 20th. The dealership told me it'd take three days to prep (towbar etc) once they got it and I could have it Monday. If it's still with Patricks (or whoever does it nowdays) then it'd better get to the dealer no later than tomorrow morning otherwise I'm going to be an unhappy camper. What annoys me more is that I ordered back at the start of July which I would have thought would be early enough to get one of the first vehicles, yet I see your dealership has already got vehicles. I know it's only a few days, but have I mentioned I'm impatient? :) I agree - ordered min in June. You wouldn't think it was that hard to send the purchased vehicles out first. BTW - what are people's thoughts on the facelifted nudge bar?? Shows off the new look front end better but would not be of much use on anything bigger than a large cat!
