Chevrolet has confirmed the eighth-generation C8 Corvette, set for a Friday reveal, will launch in ‘Stingray’ guise. The moniker was first used on the second-generation Corvette in 1963, before being dropped at the end of 1976. It made a return in 2014 to denote the entry-level variant of the C7 Corvette – the same role it'll fill within the new C8 range. The 2020 Stingray is set to be powered by an updated version of the current model's 6.2-litre LT1 V8, boosted to around 500hp (373kW).

The 2020 BMW 5 Series facelift has once again been spied, this time in sedan guise. As with the Touring we spied last week, the new 5 Series sedan wears what appears to be a mildly-revised front end. The lights have been reworked to feature a signature in keeping with the latest 3 Series, while the kidney grille is heavily camouflaged.

Aston Martin is busy testing its first-ever SUV, the Aston Martin DBX, with sights set firmly on the Volkswagen Group's extensive portfolio of luxurious crossovers – particularly the Porsche Cayenne. Speaking exclusively to CarAdvice at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, Ian Hartley, Aston Martin's senior manager of vehicle dynamics, said the Porsche Cayenne is the DBX's main target.

Porsche has recalled the 2003-2010 and 2009-2016 Panamera, over concerns about the transmission's plastic gear selector cable sleeve. According to the company, the plastic sleeve on the selector lever cable mightn't be durable throughout the life of the vehicle. If the sleeve breaks, the transmission might not change into park when the driver shifts the lever to 'P'.

Nissan has offered a first glimpse at the upcoming 2020 Juke, revealing details about its second-generation split headlight design. Based on the image, the new Juke will get slim LED daytime running lights sitting above circular headlights, in keeping with the two-tiered design debuted on the soon-to-be discontinued model.
