BMW gave us the first ever X5 EV this year when it dropped the 2027 iX5, but these new spy pictures prove the automaker's electric luxury SUV ambitions don't end there. While this camouflaged prototype looks about the same as it did in spy shots taken earlier this year, the fact that this one was spied at the Germany's famed Nürburgring proves that development for this massive, three-row EV continues.
Spy photographers snapped the iX7 strutting its near-silent stuff at Germany's Nürburgring, which might be about the only time you'll ever see one taking on laps of the 12.9-mile (20.8 km) forest track. The three-row EV isn't intended for track work, but automakers use the Ring for durability tests as much as they do dynamic assessments, and every BMW, whether it's a little X1 SUV or 7 Series luxury sedan needs to go through a similar assessment.

‘It was so satisfying when I threw a rock through the screen’: the people sick of being spied on by their smart TV
When Dan had had enough of his television, he threw a rock straight through the screen. The offence? His smart TV was downloading its third update in three days. “It drove me crazy with what seemed like daily software updates that never fixed anything and ‘features’ that never seemed to work,” says the 71-year-old from Illinois. “And of course, constantly trying to push me to subscribe to paid-for services when all I wanted to do was watch over-the-air TV, play a DVD or stream something from my computer.”Some may accuse Dan of being a luddite, but his master’s degree in computer science and decades of experience in telecommunications would suggest otherwise. “The tech is not intimidating,” he explains, “just increasingly enshittified.”The first smart TVs entered the market in the late 2000s, when companies introduced operating systems, media players and apps to screens that were becoming wider and thinner. In recent years, the luxury status of smart TVs has waned and increasingly affordable options are widely available. Tom Parsons, TV and audiovisual editor at the electronics magazine What Hi-Fi?, explains that these cheaper models can struggle under more advanced features.

Mazda Dropping CX-70, Adding 2-Row CX-90 Option for 2027: Report
Mazda’s strategy to market its largest SUV under different names depending on how many rows of seats they have—CX-90 for three-row versions, CX-70 for two-row ones—was an odd decision from the beginning. Now that’s (perhaps unsurprisingly) changing, as the CX-70 apparently won’t make it to the 2027 model year. The news was initially reported by CarScoops; Road & Track has reached out to Mazda to confirm the CX-70’s demise, and will update this post upon hearing back. That said, rumors and reports from dealer sources on forums foreshadowed this news, and this report seems set to put a proverbial nail in the coffin. MazdaThe CX-90 initially launched as the three-row; then, shortly thereafter, Mazda released the CX-70. For the most part, the CX-70 was an identical car, minus the last couple seats. There were some minor tweaks in exterior trim color and style, but to put it simply, Mazda sold the same car under different names depending on their seat configurations for the past few years. It’s an odd strategy, as most OEMs simply offer a two-row or three-row option for the same model; for example, the Toyota 4Runner has an optional third row, as does the Mercedes-Benz GLB-Class.

No, Hot Wheels Quality Hasn’t Tanked. Social Media Just Wants You to Be Mad
Every day, we all see stuff on the internet that doesn’t add up. It’s kind of just a basic part of being alive now. One that caught our attention was a viral post comparing three Hot Wheels die casts—one from 1997, one from 2012, and one from 2026. Through the years, undercarriage detail is reduced, and the idea is that this is analogous to the decline of civilization. You could say it made us shake our collective heads here at the site, though not really in the way whoever started this hoax was probably aiming for. As usual, posts like this are founded on a grain of truth, extrapolated and artificially altered to make a far more sweeping statement with zero context. For starters, it’s AI generated, which at least the creator in this case didn’t attempt to hide. Even if they had, though, you could tell by the fact that Mattel, even today, doesn’t make Hot Wheels cars with the logo on the underside and absolutely nothing else.
