However some news this month:

- Version 2 of the Honda Jazz has been released. Changes are cosmetic (functionally and aesthetically) and it consumes 0.1L/100km extra fuel. Australians will apparently still receive them from Thailand.

- Renault Megane's sale is over and its price is back up to $25,490 RRP.

- The Subaru Impreza sedan is now available in Australia. It appears to be the same price and almost identical in terms of specs (although it's apparently heavier with the same performance characteristics as the hatch, go figure :)).

- The base model Holden Epica now has a diesel variant that is exactly the same price as the petrol variant which is interesting since usually diesel options are more expensive than petrol ones.

- Ford Escape has a reduced price of $29,990 - still doesn't get it in the top 3 of SUVs though (due to its 4 star ANCAP rating)

- Peugeot have decided to offer an extra 3 years to their standard 3 year car warranties this month. This still didn't get the Peugeot 207 into the top 3 Light cars (since it was still the most expensive 5 star ANCAP rating car in its class).
