Best EOFY 2025 sports & performance car sales in Australia
The definition of a discretionary purchase, sports and performance cars aren't always subject to sharp deals. There aren't huge cash discounts on sports and performance cars as part of end of financial year sales in 2024. But there are a handful of promotions worth considering if you look around. SPORTS AND PERFORMANCE CARS Cupra Formentor: OK, so you might not have heard of this one, but it's a cracker. A Spanish cousin to the VW Tiguan R and Audi S3, it combines Lambo-inspired looks with a turbo engine and all-wheel-drive traction for a cracking $61,990 drive-away – that's a discount of about $8000. Mercedes-AMG: There are deals to be done on the Mercedes-AMG A35 hot hatch, which benefits from three years of free servicing (worth $3560) and a $5000 deposit contribution when financed through 'Benz. Volkswagen: VW is offering drive-away pricing on a range of performance cars including the polo GTI ($42,990), Golf GTI ($59,990) and T-Roc R ($65,990). Subaru WRX: A modern icon, the all-wheel-drive Subaru WRX can be had with 3.99 per cent finance, though you'll need to have 15 per cent of its price ready as a deposit – that's $10,000 on higher grades.

US reviewing AUKUS as Trump pursues ‘America first agenda'
The US is reviewing the AUKUS defence pact with Australia and the UK to ensure it aligns with Donald Trump's 'America First' agenda. Australia has already spent billions on laying the groundwork to acquire and build nuclear-powered submarines and train personnel to crew them as part of the partnership. US defence officials said overnight the move was about 'ensuring the highest readiness of our servicemembers'. 'The Department is reviewing AUKUS as part of ensuring that this initiative of the previous Administration is aligned with the President's America First agenda,' they told media. 'As Secretary Hegseth has made clear, this means ensuring the highest readiness of our servicemembers, that allies step up fully to do their part for collective defence, and that the defence industrial base is meeting our needs. 'This review will ensure the initiative meets these common sense, America First criteria.'
