Is there any upcoming vehicle release that has you interested at all?

[Dr Smith]

I regularly visit sites such as Caradvice, Car Expert, Carsales, and various YouTube channels and overseas sites just seeing what is coming, being tested, scooped and reviewed...and lately nothing has even remotely tweaked my interest apart from next Ranger...

Do you feel the same lack of interest and while I know Covid has had an impact what are your thoughts and is there anything I may have missed you'd like to share?

Maybe my malaise is also based on the fact my wife ordered an Escape in Dec and still doesn't have a build date...so maybe I'm suffering "NNCD...No New Car Disease" and the vaccine isn't even being worked on

When i look at what is available in lhd, i get very envious.

Even in rhd, we often miss out on lots of desirable models.

What model and engine escape have you ordered?

Hybrid was a year away even last year so Vignale, petrol, AWD with 20" wheels.

[DJR-351]

Yep, 300 Series Landcruiser

The industry, the hype etc just is not what it used to be..hard to get excited about new releases when all the interesting models are becoming out of reach of normal people.

Nissan 400Z...cant wait for a review of Mustang vs Supra vs 400Z..shame about the Supra.

Not wrong, even when watching all those YouTube vids on F-150's and they go through their local pricing, up near and over $US75K...that's US dollars for...

[XR Martin]

Interested in seeing what the next Ranger is like (hopefully it shares some stuff from the Bronco), if it comes with a petrol motor I might be tempted.

[Charliewool]

This...

13 flat 1/4 with 2” lift and 33” tyres...

[Wretched]

Australian releases? Not much coming out, car makers are not bringing the good stuff here.

Cars out of my reach:

• Porsche 911 GT3 and RS (992)
• GMA T50
• Aston Martin Valkyrie

[Yellow_Festiva]

New Outlander.

No diesel apparently. Lost interest real fast.....

[Big_Daz]

A Few:

- Nizzan Z (400Z i think it will be called)
- 992 911 GT3
- New Ranger
- C8 Corvette (In Australia at least)

[Smoke Pursuit]

- 300 Series

- New C Class Benz

- 2022 Wildtrak / Raptor
- S650 Mustang

[Stubbie]

Diesel cars are on the nose in Europe so you might be lucky to see any new models of anything diesel

I don't know the chances, but god it would be nice if the new ranger (especially the 4x4 XLT/Wildtracks) had a decent Turbo Petrol as an option...

I see they have just stopped all imports of Subaru Outbacks with no report as to why.

Yep, read it in a news article this morning.
Only going by that I'm afraid.

Just to follow up on this -

"Subaru has lodged a recall to fix the pre-collision braking system on the 2021 Outback, and explained why dealers have been told to stop delivering cars to customers."

Interested in the next iteration of the WRX STi, but some of those renders are a bit horrible. The shots of the 400Z in silver looked good.
C63 will be a 4-cyl car from next year, lots of Euro's losing their mojo due to the greenie-appeasing-EU.
California starting some movements in the US as well (maybe best it becomes its own country).
Jaguar and BMW saying they'll be going all-electric before too long, might be time to enjoy the dirty, noisy IC engine as much as possible before the world goes dull(er).
Not sure what direction the Japanese will be going in future, might be time for an R36 GTR!

Never seen such rampant dulling down of concept cars like the WRX over the years.

They really need (ie - Id like to see) a balls out stripped version for Australia before it too is on the chopping block.

[MITCHAY]

I haven't followed anything since the demise of Ford and Holden here. Really miss the the launches.

They have changed the WRX so much to appeal to a broader market. I don't care too much about the newer versions. Every time they promise something good and every time it is a dissapointment. I'll just enjoy my MY03 as there's no way I'd buy a new one.

[Top_Ghia]

Next Mustang and Bronco.
I know we won’t get the Bronco any time soon though. But I can dream.
A Bronco would look awesome parked next to my Mustang.

Tesla, for sure, forget everything else - this is the future!

1. Tesla Semi, 480 km to 800 km range on a single charge, but with an estimate for the battery weight at 11,800 kg load carrying capacity may be limited?
2. Tesla Roadster, 2.1 seconds to 60, +400km/hr and 1000km range
3. Tesla Cybertruck, ADR compliant
4. Tesla Model 3 Taxi Fleet, +1 million Model 3's, full autonomous, roam the streets driverless etc

All coming sometime real soon

The saying was even a broken clock is correct twice a day... You have found a way to defy this! I guess if you keep making predictions and hoping, something might land! Maybe, just maybe.

The MACH 1 is what I'm eagerly awaiting its introduction to the market!

The new Model S Tesla is something I'm looking forward to driving. Love all the tech and the performance promise in the new car.

Gosh Kieran, what have I done this time to upset you?

These are not my predictions, they're statements of fact from Elon.

As far as I know, non of the Tesla products listed have been delivered into production???

Rwd mazdas

Focus based ute

Awd mps mazda 3

Affording any of them.... if they get here at all....

[Franco Cozzo]

Nothing too exciting for me, I've turned into that old bloke who is the Valiant enthusiast - they just stopped making cars I like years ago

I've got a lot of hope for Vietnamese car manufacturer Vinfast - they scabbed alot of ex Ford/GM/Toyota staff from Australia.

Vietnamese 4 door RWD sedan on the cards perhaps?
