The bookings for facelift will only open, once it has been properly launched. (Expected JULY)
And by that I mean, they are going to advertise it on sign boards, TVC commercials and so on.
I have a cousin, who is working in IMC as Quality Enginner. According to HIM, they are putting leather in the grande dashboard, just as they have done with fortuner. The side AC vents would be circular as in international version. Rest the bumpers and lights would be changed.
So concluding, A person like me who wants gli will only be able to get it in the month of Aug-Sep after booking it as early as possible.
