Vespa have posted a load of pictures of the 946 to Facebook. They appear to show a more feature complete version. Sadly, the indicator lights have moved to the leg shield. Still looking very nice though...

I'm looking now, will post anything I find

UPDATE:

I'm seeing July 2013 but no official source for that date. Piaggio seem to be ramping up promotion as of today with new images and a new website launched - http://www.vespa946.com

I've got in touch with Piaggio for more information on availability.

Big news for the 946 is traction control, which makes its debut on a Vespa scooter design. While details are not listed, the ASR traction control system is said to prevent rear wheel slippage for optimal traction. TC technology has been prominently displayed on the Piaggio Group's other offerings, most notably in the Aprilia line.

Vespa utilizes its familiar monocoque body structure. The 946 makes use of welded steel and aluminum alloy to support the internals while reducing overall weight. The 946's single shock absorber on the rear wheel has been mounted horizontally to avoid disrupting the aesthetics of the machine, and comes with four-position adjustable preload. It comes with 12-inch wheels on the front and back, complete with a double-disc braking system and ABS. The 946 also comes with LED headlights and dashboard indicators.
