Default XR5 replacement

Any ideas on when we might be seeing it? I remember seeing pics last year when the old one was being phased out but nothing new since. RS is too dear and too sport orientated for the mrs but an XR would be about right. Thanks.

I HIGHLY doubt that the wagon will be available in Australia. As soon as we know any more I'll get more info up.
