Any idea when they're due to go on sale here?

No word of an update on the CW though...

We used to be quite a way behind say the UK with new model launches but the i40 was launched at a similar time over here I believe SO, I am going to predict an Oz  Launch of the new i30 in early to mid 2012 (say Feb-April)  :cool:

Going on past experience they won't make too much of a song and dance about it coming until they have cleared most of the older (current) model..

As for the CW (again going on past experience) I reckon they will start making "noises" about that in late 2012 but probably not release the new shape until very early 2013  :razz:

I'd say you're on the money there dazz, They're advertising "End of year" stock clearance deals, (if that means anything at all). One of our new members mentioned getting a great deal, (N.N I think).  :)

Nice little video.. for some reason it played in 4:3 when it appears to be done in 16:9 so it looks a bit like a Ford Festiva..  :whistler:

I like the backing music.. I might extract it for my next Video .. see if Youtube mutes that  :lol:
