With its recent revival of the Supra nameplate and launch of the the bonkers 200kW GR Yaris, it's reasonable to wonder if Toyota is planning to go back to the future with a new MR2. Sadly, the answer seems to be no. Matthew Harrison, executive vice president of Toyota Europe, told Autocar a successor to the company's affordable mid-engine sports car is "not a priority" for the company.

Audi Australia has announced pricing and specifications for its new RSQ3 and RSQ3 Sportback, along with an online reservation platform. Pricing will start from $89,900 before on-road costs when local availability kicks off in August. Audi’s performance portfolio will get a handy boost with the addition of the all-new RSQ3 range, complete with the first sloping-roofed Sportback variant.

BMW Australia has announced pricing for the M2 CS, known internally as the drift machine, ahead of its arrival in the second half of the year. Priced from $139,900 before on-road costs, the M2 CS represents a $35,000 increase over the existing M2 Competition. That extra spend gets you a 3.0-litre turbocharged inline-six engine making 331kW and 550Nm, good for a 4.2-second sprint to 100km/h with a six-speed manual or a 4.0-second run in the seven-speed dual-clutch model.

Toyota has released a limited edition of its LandCruiser 200 Series that will make it the most expensive model to date. The Toyota LandCruiser 200 Sahara Horizon sits on top of the existing range with a price of $129,090 plus on-road costs, which is dearer than the Sahara ($123,590), VX ($102,590), GXL ($91,890) and GX trade pack model ($80,190).

Mitsubishi has expanded the middle and top-end of its Triton line-up, setting its sights on the Ford Ranger and Toyota HiLux. The first of the two new models is the Triton GSR, which gets a range of tougher-looking exterior add-ons. There's a set of 18-inch black alloy wheels, a blacked-out grille, and black headlamp trims, door mirrors, doorhandles, and sidesteps. Drivers also get a surround-view camera, leather seats, a powered driver's seat, and front seat heating.
