Maserati Australia and New Zealand has announced Grant Barling will lead the company's local operations as General Manager. Barling was previously National Sales Manager for Maserati, but moves into the newly-created position as outgoing Chief Operations Officer Glen Sealey changes to another role within the Ateco organisation – the importer of Maserati vehicles locally. "I’m delighted to accept this new role and lead Maserati as it embarks on a new era," Mr Barling said at the announcement.

The 2022 Subaru BRZ has made its right-hand drive debut, ahead of its full Australian launch understood for later in 2021. Unveiled alongside the global debut of its Toyota GR 86 twin, the Japanese-market BRZ (unsurprisingly) looks all but identical to the US-market model revealed in November 2020 – and is joined by an expanding catalogue of Subaru-designed accessories.

This is it: the 2022 Toyota GR 86 has been officially revealed, close to six months after the unveiling of its Subaru relative. Twin under the skin to the new Subaru BRZ, the second-generation 86 sports car joins the GR Supra and GR Yaris under the wing of Toyota’s Gazoo Racing performance arm – with a notable performance bump to match its hi-po GR 86 name.

One of 400 Tommykaira R models has come up for sale in Australia, based on the 1994 Nissan R32 Skyline GT-R.

Powered by a 2.6-litre twin-turbo six-cylinder driving all four wheels through a five-speed manual, outputs are said to sit around 257kW and 353Nm.

Hi Justin, Among compact SUVs with automated park assist systems (either as standard or an option pack) are the Volkswagen T-Cross, Peugeot 2008 GT Line (standard), Renault Captur, Ford Puma and the Skoda Kamiq. In the hopes of making it easier for your mother, I've selected systems that have an automated steering function, to take the hassle out of maneuvering into tricky spaces. Hope that helps!
