After talking to our local dealer about the 2013, there were quite a few changes to the 2013.
1-The dash has been completely redone. The changes include having two heater ports to the sides of the main speedo.
2-One heater outlet is fixed and the other allows a tubed heater (excuse my lack of technical knowledge) that can be pulled out.
3-They have also switch from the rocker switches to toggle switches on the dash (didn't like).
4-Added larger pumps and hoses for the PNP
5-New vinyl (appears to be very similar to the Malibu vinyl). The vinyl is not smooth anymore, but more like the crinkled look of the malibu's.
6-Little bit different design in the seats
7-Wedge position indicator on the dash

That is all I can remember for now. We are test driving the 2013 as soon as they come in (reportedly next weekend). I will report back.

I have seen the pics but they are not released yet! There is also a auto volume setting. Wait until you see the recon stuff! They have addressed alot of the past issues.

These changes sound great. Will be nice to be part of the evolution of the Axis brand. 2015 is my target for my new one.

Not sure I like the toggles better than the rockers, also looks like they left out the dash cup holder, I wish mine had one.
