Sounds like good news for Octy owners wannabes!

Another facelift? I thought the current model is already a facelifted model from 2001. A good way to find out is to follow the UK sites, if there is a launch over there ... then chances are good for us ... but it will still be 6 - 12 months later. You really wanna wait so long?

I think it's a brand new build rather than a facelift for the 2003.

If that's really the case, then I guess its very good news though. However, given the current situation, I have my doubts if it will ever be brought in by the present distributor. If you get wind of any pics or info, do let me know. Thanks.
