Read MoreLooking at the McLaren P1 concept up close, you get the impression that, were it not for aerodynamics, there'd be no dynamics at all. The P1, in all seriousness, is a car designed by the wind.
Read MoreThe Mercedes SLS AMG has one of the loudest and most audacious exhaust notes of any car on the road. It's part of what gives it that distinct character.

Read MoreJalopnik's own Travis Okulski drove the new Ford Fusion Hybrid in New York. He claimed to want to "Make tender but gentle love to it." At the same time Travis was figuratively zipping his pants back up, I was heading out to Santa Monica for sloppy seconds.
Read MoreThe cars that tend to interest me the most right now are at the extreme low end of the spectrum. Whatever the opposite of supercars are— üntercars, or something.
Read MoreGetting rid of your pride and joy is never easy. At least Jalopnik readers have a to-do checklist for selling your car with as little fuss and as much profit as possible.
Read MoreMy gripe with BMW has never been about performance. Nor has it been about quality. I have just never connected with the styling, finding their appearance dull and uninspiring. And I'm not a fan of bland. I do not own a beige pair of anything. But there is one BMW that has remained an exception to my grievance. The BMW M6.
Read MoreWhether old or new, there's always something you'd improve about your car. Jalopnik readers have come up with the best upgrades you can make without spending a fortune.

Read MoreThe first Subaru GL wagons came out in 1972, and like most Japanese cars of the era, they were light, tough, and usually rusted to pieces before they'd seen the end of two decades. So it's pretty hard to find first, and even second generation GLs still on the road.

Read MoreI've been effusive in my praise of the first-gen Mustang in previous posts. I think it fully deserves the credit. The original Mustang was one of the most important cars ever made, and its design still looks great today. The baby boomer generation must have seen it as sex on wheels compared to the hulking, staid sedans their parents drove.
Read MoreFor various reasons, the automotive powers that be keep many of the world's best cars from the American car buying public. Even Detroit is stiffing us on some of these models, and they're supposed to be on our side!

Read MoreMost of the world thinks Americans won't watch any auto racing that isn't accompanied by pulled pork. And so, what happens when the World Touring Car Championship stops at Sonoma Raceway, like it did this past weekend? No one knows a damn thing about it. Does that mean we don't care?
Read MoreThere are lot of reasons to look forward to open-world racer Forza Horizon, set to debut on October 23rd. We can now add to that list a choice of three radio stations offering the best in-game music for a racing platform since… Wipeout XL for the Playstation?

Read MoreI explained last week why I have reason to believe the new, smaller Accord is back on track to be a decent driver's car in family sedan clothes –- like it used to be in the 80s and 90s. Looks like there's hope the Civic's dark days could end, too.
Read MoreIn many parts of the U.S. of A., we're often told what's not possible. You can't build a house without 2x4s and nails from Home Depot; you can't make your car run without a complete array of expensive tools and a course in auto mechanics; it's impossible to tow things with a small car.
Read MoreHow did a lanky chicken farmer from Texas become the most recognizable speed merchant in America? By building some of the rawest performance machines ever made.

Read MoreIt's okay if you don't think about the Opel GT a whole lot. While a pretty popular sporty car in its heyday, almost 40 years have gone by since the last ones were made in 1973 after a five-year production run. Most people probably see one in a backyard, labeled as a project car.
Read MoreToday is the 50th anniversary of the release of Dr. No, the first Bond film. And besides having tons of sex (and probably contracting an equal number of STDs) over his now 50 year career, Bond has been responsible for some of the greatest car chases in movie history.
Read MoreMillion dollar supercars are cool, but they're always restricted by annoying real world physics. On the other hand, video game cars face no restrictions at all, and Jalopnik readers have found the ten craziest ever madel.

Read MoreI shift into fifth gear and hit 70 mph as I merge onto the State Highway 130 toll road east of Austin. The speed limit on this road is 80 mph, so that's where I stop accelerating until a Chevy Tahoe packed with children passes me in the left lane, probably doing around 90. Then I decide to push the accelerator a bit more and let my speedometer creep up to 85.
Read MoreThe grueling four-day week is finally over, and it's been brutal. As usual, though, Uncle Jayjay has the solution: three exuberantly goofy old ads for the 1969 Opel Kadett, provided by our pal Skip Elsheimer of the A/V Geeks.

Read MoreWe at Jalopnik are huge fans of driving, but we think it should be only done when you're not under the influence of booze.

Read MoreThis past week, I haven't felt as helpless or as vexed behind the wheel since I was 15 years old and trying to divine the magical balance between clutch and gas pedal that actually sent my mother's BMW 325e forward along our farm's gravel road. Each time the vehicle shuddered and stalled out, I was left to contemplate my own futility, understanding there is no way a driving machine like this would be made, marketed and sold if it truly was inoperable. I had to be the problem.
Read MoreGrowing up in Northern California, there were always tons of cool old Japanese cars to lust after. I dreamed of buying them all, like this grimy 280Z, until I actually talked to an owner.

Read MoreI don't particularly find Grey Poupon amazing in any special way. It's just memorable because of one piece of strikingly good advertising, the "Son Of Rolls" ad featuring older gentlemen passing some fake french mustard between two cars. It was genius because of the ear-worm "Pardon me, do you have any Grey Poupon" line parodied a million times.

This image of the Lexus LF-CC Concept set for Paris seems to hint that a coupe is coming.

Other model names/letters have been hinted at or speculated about, but there's been no comprehensive list.

Read MoreIt's happened again. When Ford invited some journalists out to test the new C-Max, there was, of course,a dinner involved. For many auto journalists, these dinners represent over 25% of our monthly intake of both vitamin steak and vitamin gin. I even have a doctor's note to make sure I get what I need.

That's just the kind of movie where fans do things like this.

I gave everyone the day off but scheduled out most of the day so technically I am, but I'm mostly just sitting around, chatting with friends, enjoying a relaxed day. That's why there's no TMS or QOTD/AOTD. Why not chat a bit with me, your Editor-in-Chief/internet car news man-butler?
Read MoreAs many of you already know, I'm a big fan of 3D printing, especially for its potential for use for cars and car parts. So when reader Kevin sent us this article about "the world's first 3D printed racecar" I was very, and possibly visibly, interested.

Read MoreSometimes, great ideas have unintended consequences, like when Theodore Roosevelt ended the Civil War but accidentally invented polio in the process. (That's what I learned in Texas public schools, anyway.)

Read MoreWe all love driving, but we have to start somewhere. How did you learn to drive?

Read MoreUsually, motor homes are bought by retirees as a way to enjoy their golden years and get away from their damn kids. With today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe 455-powered Vixen, you don't have to wait for retirement, but will its price make you want to hold on to your 401K?
Read MoreWith its Italian body, American engine, German transaxle, and an Argentinian having backed putting them all together, today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe Pantera is like an international buffet. But will its price make it all you can eat?
Read MoreWhile Toyota's newest tagline is Let's Go Places its most memorable one was probably Oh What a Feeling. You could go lots of places with feeling in today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe custom turbo Celica convertible, but will its price have you saying I'm just not feeling it?
Read MoreJoe Isuzu (David Leisure) gained fame and fortune for lying, while the cars he shilled never really achieved much of either. Today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe Impulse is semi-famous, and that's no lie, but is its price worth giving up some of your fortune?
Read MoreWhen first introduced, Triumph's GT6 was promoted as being developed from the company's Le Mans racing programme. That claim may have been bogus but will the racing stripes on today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe MK3 have you racing for your check book?
Read MoreThey say that the majority of accidents occur within close proximity of home. Today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe Camper Caprice is a home you could always be proximal to, but would considering buying it be an accident waiting to happen?

Read MoreIn Tim Burton's Batman movie, the Joker reflects of the hero: where does he get those wonderful toys? The same could be said for Canada, our neighbor to the north, who seems to get a lot of cool stuff we don't. Today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe Doka was once icily Canadian, but now lives in sunny CA.

Read MoreToday's Nice Price or Crack Pipe Star Wars fangasm contender Pontiac may not be officially sanctioned by George Lucas, but it's sure a hell of a lot more fun to look at than The Phantom Menace. Of course, it's completely up to you whether it's worth the price of admission.
Read MoreI don't think Porsche is pushing the Panamera Turbo S as a kid-hauler. I think it's more targeted at rich guys who have friends that get embarrassed when you remind them they're a Baron. Probably three such friends, otherwise our hypothetical Baron would be driving a 911.
