An NBC tour of GM's design centre caught Mary Barra walking past clay models that look an awful lot like the C9 Corvette. GM insists it showed nothing future-product. The footage suggests otherwise, and Australian buyers should pay attention.
GWM's next Ora model is a sporty station wagon called the Ora 7. Chinese regulatory filings reveal dual motors making 310kW, LFP battery chemistry, and styling lifted straight from last year's Lightning Cat concept.
Toyota's next MR2 will go mid-engine, all-wheel drive and run the new G20E 2.0-litre turbo making up to 300kW. Track testing in Japan has confirmed the layout but the manual gearbox lovers want is not part of the plan.
Porsche Sonderwunsch has built a one-off 911 GT3 "Tree of Life" to mark 15 years of official distribution in Moldova. 400 hours of hand-painted bodywork, a wild interior, and a window into what Porsche's customisation department is capable of.
Computer screens and clay models visible in a GM facility tour on NBC may have given the world its first look at the next-generation Corvette. Combined with a new 6.7-litre V8 debuting in the current C8, the signs point to a substantial generational leap ahead.
Bentley's four-door flagship sedan has been substantially refreshed. The 2027 Flying Spur brings back the performance-focused S nameplate, introduces single headlights for the first time since 1962, and is now available to order in Australia from $508,000 before options.
Skoda has accidentally given buyers an early look at its upcoming flagship electric SUV. The 2027 Peaq appeared in uncamouflaged 3D form in a teaser video about aerodynamics, confirming the design before the scheduled June 23 reveal. Australia is in the picture.
GAC has revealed the Yue 7, a boxy hybrid 4WD with 400kW of combined power that is confirmed for Australia before the end of 2027. It takes direct aim at the Toyota Prado and Denza B5 in the increasingly competitive Chinese hybrid off-roader segment.
BMW's second-best-selling model in Australia is about to get a major overhaul. The 2027 X1 has been caught in camouflage wearing Neue Klasse styling borrowed from the brand's latest EVs, and the performance flagship looks sharper than anything the current generation offers.
The era of burying every car function inside a touchscreen appears to be ending. ANCAP's 2026 safety criteria now reward physical controls for indicators, wipers, hazard lights, and headlights, and car brands are responding. For Australian buyers, this is a meaningful practical improvement.
Australia's best-sellers always grab the headlines, but the real story of 2026 is in the second tier: the Toyota Camry defying the sedan death narrative, the BYD Seal nearly doubling year-on-year, and the GWM Tank 300 becoming a genuine large SUV force. Here's what their numbers mean for buyers.
Subaru has thrown performance enthusiasts three new breadcrumbs: a genuine performance hatch based on its Super Taikyu race car, a WRX with the legendary TY85 six-speed manual, and a sharper BRZ. All three land before 2027. Whether Australia gets any of them is the real question.
