Nissan has revealed a new Skyline Nismo for the first time since the R34 Skyline - but it’s available only in Japan and it’s limited to just 1000 units.

Lexus has bumped up pricing for three of its four best selling models, consisting of the ES sedan, UX small SUV and NX mid-size SUV.The pricing increases are relatively minor, and arrive at the middle of the year at which point the government’s LCT adjustments bring the pricing of some of Lexus’ more expensive models down.In terms of the most affected in terms of pricing shift, the Lexus ES sedan has copped a $520 price increase at its ES250 Luxury entry variant, now $62,140 before on-road costs, as well as its 250 F Sport grade.The hybrid 300h variants are all up by a $1990 increase, though, the most of any of the variants in this round of price adjustments.The entry to Lexus’ UX small SUV remains unchanged, still $46,085, but all the hybrid 250h models have been bumped up by $500, making the hybrid entry-point UX250h Luxury 2WD a $54,320 offering.The UX300e Luxury electric car remains unchanged in its pricing, but LCT adjustments mean efficient (i.e. hybrid) and electric vehicles above the threshold are now cheaper, so the 300e Sports Luxury is now $825 cheaper at $87,665.Even non-hybrid cars above the LCT threshold have been treated to a (smaller) price drop, so a lot of Lexus range - like the full RX large SUV line-up - is now a little more affordable.Finally, the NX mid-size SUV, which shares much of its underpinnings with the Toyota RAV4 and is by some margin Lexus’ most popular model (3425 of the brand’s 8300 sales this year), has been given a relatively gently price adjustment.The entry-level NX250 2WD is $375 more expensive, now $62,275, while every other variant bar a couple is up by $850.The other two both have benefited from price drops thanks to LCT changes, the NX350 AWD F Sport at $77,511 (down $680) and the top-spec (but hard to buy without a wait) NX450h+ AWD F Sport Plug-in hybrid at $90,948 ($475 less).Full pricing tables with changes noted can be found below.2023 Lexus ES pricing before on-road costs  2023 Lexus UX pricing before on-road costs  2023 Lexus NX pricing before on-road costs  

Mercedes calls it “the next step into Mercedes-AMG’s electrified future”, but it’s more like a fly-kick - the AMG GT63 S E Performance is now available to order in Australia as the most powerful model from the brand to set rubber on Aussie soil.

A massive recall of more than 176,000 Mazdas has been announced, with two of the brand’s most familiar nameplates affected. Model years between 2013 and 2020 for the Mazda 3 and Mazda CX-3, which covers two generations of the former and one of the latter, have been recalled for a potential wiring problem which could affect the reversing camera’s function.

One of the earliest members of the local Genesis family as we know it, the G70 sedan - which came in after Genesis' time as a sub-Hyundai badge - could be on the chopping block at the end of its current generation.

Thanks to BYD, MG and Tesla, electric vehicles (EVs) are more affordable than ever, aided by greater choice, freer production and ever-improving battery technology. There’s never been a better time to buy an EV. Don’t you just love a bit of healthy competition! But which budget electric car provides the most range for the least bucks? Does a lower price mean increased range anxiety?

Is the electric vehicle race over before it’s truly begun? That certainly looks to be the case if you dive into the sales data for the first six months of 2023, with Tesla so far ahead of the competition it’s hard to see the catching up anytime in the near future.

Not long ago, $100,000 was an inconceivable amount of cash for most Australians to even consider spending on a new car - a sum many would previously describe as not just expensive but outrageous.

Here’s a list of our Toyota hybrids we’d love to see in Australia – along with the reasons we believe would make them a smash hit.

A Porsche price drop? In this economy? Yes, Porsche has lowered pricing for the Panamera sedan, citing changes to the luxury car tax threshold for the drop.
