Notice the new tall front shock tower, longer front shocks and what look like TN coated turnbuckles? Those weren't shown in the glossy product pics this past spring, and if they end up being stock in the kit (which is what they likely be) I will be very impressed.
The DEX408 pics show the new ones too(also in carbon).

Just the fact that they were willing to postpone the release for months, depriving themselves of sales and revenue while they tested and tweaked little details is worthy of mention.

I spoke to someone yesterday, who has been using the Durango at the Worlds, and apparently it is running REALLY well.
It has a good handling balance and is strong (unlike some manufacturers I wont care to mention that have had 4 chassis replacements so far).
I was told it will be out at the end of November following a few last minute tweaks.
Pleasingly there are no servo failures or any other reliability issues to report.

Who? Tell us! Tellustellustellustellustellustellus!!! 
The 'no servo issues' part is the most surprising, because the track looks extremely unforgiving and from the footage I've seen, if you lose your synchronicity with regards to jumps or corners, your car looks like it's going through a rock tumbler!
