With the exception of the Cayman/Boxster twins, traditional German sports cars tend to be overlooked. I don't think about the BMW Z4 that often even though I generally like it, in particular the sDrive28i fitted with the TwinPower Turbo 2.0-liter engine. None of the changes to the 2014 BMW Z4 will likely change this because few of the changes are that noticeable.
Read MoreA few days ago, just hours after we showed you the new BMW M6 Gran Coupe, the Bavarians issued a rather long press release about their newest pride. It's not what you would call an exciting read, and we hadn't gotten around to posting the official news because we correctly guessed most of the stats then. Still, we should have, so here are the most important bits:
Read MoreThe Cadillac ELR, Caddy's more upmarket version of the Chevy Volt, will be officially debuting mid-January at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. Of course, they couldn't resist leaking a little teaser image.
Read MoreTwo days after we showed it to you, Mercedes-Benz gave us all the details about it's newest E-Class. We said the car's redesigned front and S-Class shaped profile looks dull, and thought that the sedan's backside could bore even a hardcore Lexus fan, while they refer to it as "emotionally appealing".
Read MoreThis being my first season on the Jalopnik staff, I've had the unique power to finagle my way behind the tillers of a wider array of interesting cars than I ever thought possible.
Read MoreIn this era of rising gas prices and tightening emissions standards, owning a car can be tough. On the other hand, turning in your keys to become a full on motorcycle rider is tricky when you have gym bags and children and other crap to cart around. Plus, they're messy when it's rainy or cold outside.
Read MoreIf you pose the question "what kind of car should I get" to anyone here on Jalopnik, the answer will invariably be "Miata," no matter what you need to do. Towing something? Miata. Date? Miata. First car? Miata. Moving to Alaska? Miata.
Read MoreIt's starting to feel like the main reason publications indulge in Car Of The Year awards is so the winning automaker will put their name in a bunch of advertisements, making the publication feel like a big shot. At Jalopnik, we don't buy in to this. We receive hand jobs from our partners, not from the automakers.
Read MoreIt's been a real juicy peach of a year for sports cars. And I don't just mean the ones that feel like you're driving with oven mitts on. I mean the ones that have the crackly goodness a sports car should have.
Read MoreThree hundred eighteen corners. Eleven miles. Two states. Practically zero guard rails. Highway 129, also known as the Tail of the Dragon, is one of the greatest roads in all of North America.
Read MoreIn the past, the coveted Travis Okulski Award For Best Car I've Driven This Year would go to the only car I drove: My Miata.
Read MoreIt will come as no surprise to hear that in this line of work we get to drive some pretty badass cars. At the same time, sometimes, juuuuust sometimes, we are handed the keys to a car that is — how do I put this gently? Crap.
Read MoreBefore I started my brave new life writing here at Jalopnik, I used to do my end-of-year, cars-I've-driven reviews at Macarthur Park in Los Angeles, to a collected crowd of sleeping vagrants and loud, opinionated ducks.
Read MoreEnd-of-year awards tend to be impersonal and predictable, so we've left it open to our contributors to interpret the question: what are the best and the worst cars you've driven this year? Let's see what we get. Feel free to add your own to the list.
Read MoreWe launched our new review system this year by claiming that car reviews generally suck and we'd do our best to fix them. Our solution? A new format that gives a tangible number enthusiast's could use to decide how worthy a vehicle was of ownership.
Read MoreWelcome to Used Car Face Off, where we find two similar or similarly priced used cars and ask you which one you would buy. Choose wisely!
Read MoreMovies tell us that international spies only drive their cars for 20 minutes, max, before they blow up. Can Aston Martin build a flagship grand tourer you'd want to keep longer than that?
Read MoreEven though we keep hearing of rumors you'll be able to buy a new Saab 9-3 sometime next year in some part of the world, and an EV coming after that, there's still the matter of closing out the Spyker Era of the old Trollhattan firm.
Read MoreWelcome to Forgotten Cars, where we highlight fascinating cars and engines that are obscure, unrecognized and lost to the passage of time.
Read MoreYou know those times when you're watching something incredibly stupid going down, and you just know it's going to end very badly, but somehow it... doesn't?
Read MoreAutomakers are at their best when they are at their boldest. Building unconventional cars, entering into markets that are new to them, trying their hands at a different form of auto racing, creating some ridiculous niche vehicle — that’s when they make the cars that people remember decades down the road, even if they fail miserably. As they like to say in the SAS, “Who dares, wins.”
Read More"It has been proven that a more aerodynamically styled a vehicle is, the easier it slices through the air," the announcer says. And what could possibly be more aerodynamic than the 1986 Ford Aerostar? Nothing, obviously. It's got "aero" in the name!
Read MoreToday we asked what car companies lost their way in 2012. We will answer that question on Monday, but before we do, there's another question we have to ask, and it's about the big, fat cars that come out of Bavaria's once-lithe Motor Works.
Read MoreA custom paint job is a way for you to express yourself through your car. Jalopnik readers have found ten car painters who should keep their expressions to themselves.
Read MoreThe Toyota Crown is Japan's evergreen domestic luxury car and it has been as boring and conservative as you'd expect. It's like the Japanese Cadillac XTS. Now, though, there's something about the new generation car that tickles my enthusiast ball sack, and I think I know what it is.
Read MoreWith no more auctions scheduled for 2012, we're safe in looking at the top 10 sales of cars at public auction from 2012. I understand that talking about extremely expensive cars will always generate extreme controversy among some audiences. Personally, I am less and less upset about the notion.
Read MoreFlights to Cabo San Lucas, at Baja California's southern tip, are pretty reasonable from Southern California. But that's bunk.
Read MoreForget everything you know about Sicily. Yes, the economy is in shambles and the mafia is still alive and well there. But for you, the auto-tourist, these things don't matter. Somehow, this Mediterranean island emerged from centuries of outside domination and feudal rule into the automobile age, whereupon it became a driver's paradise.
Read MoreWelcome to Forgotten Cars, where we highlight fascinating cars and engines that are obscure, unrecognized and lost to the passage of time.
Read MoreRemember when anything with a turbo was suddenly way cool? A turbo and some cool stickers could make a Chevy Sprint cool. But can it make a Volkswagen Beige Jetta cool? Hmmm...
Read MoreIn design, there are times when squares are in and when things get all round and ovally. Then, you have the squircle. It's exactly like it sounds.
Read MoreWe're now officially in the midst of what marketers like to call "the holiday season," and for many of us, that means traveling to see friends and family.
Read MoreChristmas is just around the corner, Jalops! Hopefully you've finished all your shopping by now, including signing a surprise lease on that Lexus SUV for your spouse and buying a huge red bow to put it on it.
Read MoreIn 2004, production began on what was supposed to be the greatest modern car documentary. 32 Hours 7 Minutes was intended to tell the stories of the record breakers of the US Express cross-country races of the 1980s while adding a modern element: Alex Roy's world record drive across the USA in a BMW M5. The US Express racers said their record couldn't be broken. Roy and codriver David Maher beat it by an hour.
Read MoreThink about it. Look outside. Is it sunnier out than it was in 2009? Is your life better than it was before you knew the identity of the Stig?
Read MoreMy tolerance for bad, primitive racing games is pretty high, as is my love for isolated Communist video games. So when I heard that a North Korean development house called Koryo Group made the first North Korean racing video game, Pyongyang Racer, I was delighted.
Read MoreThe gun control debate is back, as unreasonable as ever, and somehow it has snared sports cars into an inane analogy that seeks to push the pro-gun agenda.
Read MoreAfter all these years, has there been a more complete, beautiful, gentlemanly, sporty Ferrari than the 250 SWB?
Read MoreLast night, Infiniti announced that in 2014, every single car they make will start with the letter 'Q.' The M35 becomes the Q70. The FX35 becomes the QX70.
Read MoreThere are some cars that are so bad they take a bat to your face every time you see them. Blindingly terrible cars. You know what? We love them. These are Jalopnik readers' favorites.
Read MoreTraffic sucks, so why not start your morning off with some music? You provide the toast and we'll provide the jams.
Read MoreYou are looking at a 3,500 horsepower, 24-cylinder radial Pratt & Whitney Wasp Major engine, developed at the end of WWII for use in Boeing's successor to the Superfortress. It is mesmerizing.
Read MoreThis Wednesday, Citroën will end the production of its executive saloon, the weird and wonderful C6. The 250 people working on that line will be transferred to other tasks, but it will also result in the Mulhouse factory stopping completely for two days this month. In the long run, PSA is planning to fire 11,200 people by 2014.
Read MoreThere comes a point when all the faults and ugliness come together to make something endearing.
Read MoreTraffic sucks, so why not start your morning off with some music? You provide the toast and we'll provide the jams.
Read MoreAll of us love looking at cars, but have you ever stopped to wonder what's inside a car? What even makes them run, anyway? Is it a system of highly-trained squirrels who run on tiny treadmills that propel the car forwards and backwards?
Read MoreHearing that an exciting new car has been canceled kind of feels like someone just broke up with you.
Read MoreNormally, I let Zac handle our "Used Car Face Off" weekend coverage, because he does an awesome job finding interesting pre-owned cars and asking you which you'd rather drive.
Read MoreThe best stories are born when the unexpected happens. That's even more true when Miatas are involved.
Read MoreNow that you know everything there is to know about this weekend's Race of Champions, let's take a look at the cars the world's best drivers will be using to face off with one another. There's a NASCAR-like coupe, an Audi R8 LMS, a Lamborghini, and other unique cars.
Read MoreDear Marketing People at Lit Motors and marketing people everywhere,
Read MoreAs a commercial photographer and filmmaker I'm often invited to shoot some interesting cars. But few have been as personally exciting as a street legal, working replica of one of every kid-of-a-certain-era's fantasy car: the Mach 5. And when I say working I mean it has two giant saw blades coming out of the front.
Read MoreCraigslist has done it again. Now be honest. You know you've harbored a secret (or not-so-secret) Knight Rider fantasy since you first saw that awesome talking Trans-Am back in the '80s. Now, your fantasy can come to fruition, because someone's selling a KITT replica.
Read MoreCar reviews are easy to write. Interesting car reviews are quite difficult. Our Jalopnik readers put together the ten worst they've seen from this year.
Read MoreIf there's one thing we love more than most other things, it's weird Frankenstein cars.
Read MoreI think almost every car-focused primate reading this has, at least once, wondered about what it's like to go to auto design school, both with awe (you just saw a vintage Alfa slink past) or disgust (there's an Aztek doing 25 in front of you).
Read MoreFor decades, we've pretty much taken the way most cars are shifted for granted. The manuals get that extra legged H-pattern, and autos have more or less stuck to the PRNDL formula. But in the early days of motoring, not all shifters were created equal.
Read MoreWhen Americans go out to drive, they pick the fastest, emptiest, easiest roads available. Jalopnik readers have put together their favorite driving hot spots in the country.
Read MoreWelcome to Sunday Matinee, where we highlight classic car reviews or other longer videos I find on YouTube. Kick back and enjoy this blast from the past.
Read MoreWelcome to Forgotten Cars, where we highlight fascinating cars and engines that are obscure, unrecognized and lost to the passage of time.
Read MoreBefore that annoying Limey GEICO lizard invaded our television screens with polite reminders that we can save $15 a month or more on car insurance by switching to GEICO (fuck, did I really just say that?!), there's new evidence that he was once a corvette driving bounder.
Read MoreAMG came a long way from building racecar engines in the sixties to making our Editor-in-Chief write about their newest child with the caps lock on. Their cars are just that good.
Read MoreBy all rights, I should be dead by now. I spent my first minutes outside of the hospital where I was born in a Ford Pinto. In those crucial moments of life, I undoubtedly inhaled formaldehyde fumes as other cars whizzed past the Pinto's explosive rear bumper.
Read MoreWe love the FR-S and any other affordable, rear-drive powerslide machine, but there is no question that the minivan is the greatest vehicle for hoons. We've put together a gallery of unparalleled minivan drifts, jumps, and carnage to prove that we're right.
Read MoreYesterday I decided to take a peek into the future of auto design. Usually, I do this with a combination of specially-purchased mushrooms and a drink my RV-dwelling uncle makes from methanol and a straw, but this time I decided on a new approach. I visited the Transportation Design Department at ArtCenter, arguably the best automobile design program in the world.
Read MoreSubaru's now famous Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive is 40 years old. Contrary to what you might expect, the first couple of Subarus using it were not turbocharged racecars fighting against the mud and snow but rather affordable coupes and family cars in need of some extra grip. The Japanese company has been commited to the idea since introducing the first (optionally) AWD Leone estate in 1972.
Read MoreYou probably know Aristotle Onassis for marrying your favorite presidential widow, Jacqueline. As a guy who had more money than his native country has today, he also financed the construction of the Olympic Tower on 5th Avenue, while enjoying the best music Greece could offer in the seventies. In fact, he was so impressed by the works of Stamatis Kokotas, a.k.a Greek Elvis, that he bought the guy a 1969 Lamborghini Miura S just to show his appreciation.
Read MoreOh, Lincoln. Lincoln, Lincoln, Lincoln. Of the eight car companies named for presidents, you're still one of the two remaining (and related to, since the other is Ford), but I'm really afraid for your future. To many of us watching, it's looks like you've just sat down to watch Our American Cousin in Ford's Theater, if you get me.
Read MoreJazz legend Dave Brubeck died today at the age of 91. He'll be remembered for "Take Five" as much as anything, even though his songbook is deep, and that's because it's still undeniably catchy, clever, and the record it was on was the first Jazz album to sell more than a million copies.
Read MoreBMW is known for its well-named styling trademarks. The Hofmeister Kink. The Kidney Grill. Now BMW is sticking a little fender vent on its new cars. What name should it get?
Read MoreThe car-crazy home of Hollywood did not miss its chance to put its most fetching lads and ladies in front of its most fetching new cars at the LA Auto Show.
Read MoreTattoos: they can be classy, they can be tragic, and they can be on your butthole. Check out this guy, though, that put the great Jalopnik-created car meme "because racecar" right on his chest, where the Internet will always see it.
Read MoreIt often seems like the great cars fall into the hands of terrible people. Here Jalopnik readers have found the cars they consider the very best owned by the people they consider the very worst.
Read MoreAs the Baby Boomer generation continues its inexorable march toward the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel, the AARP is taking a close look at the impacts America's biggest generation has had and is still having on U.S. culture and transportation since the Woodstock Festival.
Read MoreTraffic sucks, so why not start your morning off with some music? You provide the toast and we'll provide the jams.
Read MoreGiorgetto Giugiaro. Now repeat it three times. Got it? It's one of the biggest names in the business, but don't blame him for switching to the more user friendly Italdesign in 1968. Before doing that though, he also created some beautiful shapes at Bertone and Ghia. After all, they don't name someone Car designer of the century for doing an average job.

Read MoreWhen the aliens come to harvest Earth for its talc and mangoes, I'm sure they'll give a quick looking over to our technology and culture. When they evaluate the content of the Internet, I think it's pretty safe to say they'll categorize it as a global infrastructure to distribute pornography and cute kitty and/or puppy pictures.
Read MoreWelcome to Found Around Town, where we feature cars we find in a city where interesting ones are rare because everyone drives a Prius or rides a bicycle: Austin, Texas.
Read MoreLast week, I visited what is essentially the neo-natal ward of the automotive design industry: ArtCenter's school of Transportation Design.
Read MoreWhat would we do without wedges? We wouldn't be able to split firewood so easily and doors would be slamming all the time. But in some cases, the wedge isn't so great; like when a wedge-shaped car crashes into the back of the car in front of it.
Read MoreDamn kids, with their iPhones and whatnot, always carrying them around. For a teen in California, though, it – and a roll bar –- saved his life.
Read MoreFull-time gin-soaked British flamethrower and occasional Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson is known for his strong opinions about nearly everything. He has no filter, and when he feels like he's been wronged in some way he reacts by venting his spleen, pancreas, liver, lungs, and whatever organs he has left in the direction of the person he blames for his troubles.
Read MoreWelcome to Sunday Matinee, where we highlight classic car reviews or other longer videos I find on YouTube. Kick back and enjoy this blast from the past.
Read MoreThe Hyundai Veloster Turbo has managed to do something no other Hyundai hatch ever built has done: make people give a crap about it. For the week I had the car, at least a half-dozen people commented on it. To get that sort of response with, say, an Elantra, you'd have to set the thing on fire and cover it in pornography. Luckily, the Veloster Turbo proved compelling enough on its own, since this is a test of it as a baby-hauler and fire and pornography are strictly forbidden until at least the
Read MoreToday we chronicled the last cars of a number of historically great, lovable British car companies. Is it possible, though, that the UK's car industry is doing better than ever before?
Read MoreFrom hipster racism to Honey Boo Boo, and Sarah Phillips to John McAfee, it's been quite a year. For your viewing pleasure, here is a look back at a year in Gawker Media longreads.
Read MoreHere at Jalopnik, we bring you stories from across the globe, from the Nürburgring to the Baja to Colombia and Sicily. But arguably no other place brought us (and you) as much joy as Florida, the largest hotbed of wackiness in these United States. Here are our favorites this year.
Read MoreLooking over the list of our 100 most popular posts of 2012 I was pleased to see that generally, you liked what we liked. Most of our list of favorite longreads of the year show up here, along with the much shorter posts we also loved. Almost all of the posts are new ones, but the occasional old story or random one also found itself going viral thanks to Reddit, Digg, and Fark.
Read MoreThe automotive industry keeps teasing the public with interesting concept cars that were never intended for production, and that is fine. We say wow, they feel special, and than sell you an Accord instead of an NSX. It's okay, as the Accord is better for transporting your kids, and tree huggers won't bother you either, which is very good news for your blood pressure.
Read MorePulitzer Prize-winning auto scribe and noted foppish clothing enthusiast Dan Neil recently did the gutsy but rarely-seen-in-this-business move of admitting to all his mistakes and misfires in 2012.
Read MoreOne of my favorite new Kinja features this year was the ability to do live Q&As with the most important people in the automotive universe. We had world champion drivers alongside one of the world's most beautiful gearheads and everything in between.
Read MoreWe'll probably ask this question every December 31st because it's a good one. You don't have to plan everything out to enjoy a year of car ownership, but it doesn't hurt to have some sort of plan so you don't end up with six Jensen shells, a Torquefilte transmission and... nothing else.
Read MoreWith cars getting fatter, uglier, and more detached with every new generation, it's easy to say which carmaker hasn't lost its way, but Jalopnik readers know ten brands that stand out for losing their shit this year.
Read MoreThe British screwed up their automotive industry like no other. The endless badge-engineering meant that their once great cars become as outdated as the fish and chips kiosk just outside the factories, while the long-lasting strikes made sure that the workers went back to do their shifts with just the right attitude. Quality control? In the seventies, even the Romanians cared more about their Dacias than Leyland employees about whatever they built.
Read MoreWe've already gone into great detail about why you shouldn't trust a valet. People who usually take the job are young and too immature to get a job working in the stockroom of a Best Buy. Example? Calling a woman fat on a parking ticket she was clearly going to see.
Read MorePeople are more interesting than cars. It's a basic premise that guides a lot of our coverage and differentiates us from other publications. A Shelby GT40 is a beautiful piece of machinery, but it's so much better if you know who Carroll Shelby and Dan Gurney are. A Lamborghini is a way for some to show off, but it's also method of delivering hope to those who need it most.
Read MoreWelcome to Sunday Matinee, where we highlight classic car reviews or other longer videos I find on YouTube. Kick back and enjoy this blast from the past.
Read MoreI got insanely lucky the other day driving north on Highway 101. In a stretch of no fewer than 30 miles, I passed a Volvo P1800S, Jensen Interceptor and a Mercedes 300SL. And all of these cars had one noticeable thing in common: they all had modern California license plates.
Read MoreWelcome to Used Car Face Off, where we find two similar or similarly priced used cars and ask you which one you would buy. Choose wisely!
Read MoreIn 2013, I'm not going to promise to eat better, or quit smoking, mainly because I don't smoke. Instead, I'm going to do what I should've done years ago and resolve to become a better car owner. It's time that I pay more attention to my cars and take care of them.
Read MoreEven if you're not a huge Porsche-phile like some of us are, the famed Porsche Museum in Stuttgart is reason enough to take a trip to Germany.
Read MoreHow's this for an unhappy holiday? In Fresno, Calif., a used car dealer had 8 SUVs stolen on Christmas night. That's not unexpected news from a city regularly in the running for Car Theft Capitol. But here's the interesting bit: the criminals reportedly disabled the dealership's alarm system, security cameras, and then stole computers and even the furniture. Because used car dealership decor is all the rage this season.
Read MoreEarlier today, we reported on the airliner that crashed into a highway while attempting to land at a Moscow airport, killing at least four people.
Read MoreHybrid and electric cars are usually so wonderfully magical and great at saving the earth that governments have often incentivized people to buy them. But in an unusual twist, one state government has decided to tell its Nissan Leaf and Tesla Roadster-owning residents that they can go ahead and suck it.
Read MoreRemember a few weeks ago when I told you about Lexy, the 6-month-old German short-haired pointer who was inside her owner's Land Cruiser when it was stolen? Well, I'm here to report a happy ending to that story.
Read MoreIn just a few days, we will close the door on 2012, a year that brought us important contributions to human civilizations like the "Gangnam Style" video, idiots buying supplies in preparation for the Mayan apocalypse, and memes involving that frowny girl from the Olympics. What a wonderful year it has been!
Read MoreWe've got some sad news this morning from Russia following reports that a passenger airliner went off the runway during its landing at Moscow's Vnukovo airport and crashed into a highway, leaving four dead and four injured, according to news reports.
Read MoreWhat do you do when you're a car company who has completely given up on your glorious sporting past, but you still want to look like you make something exciting — and you need to make a few bucks selling aftermarket products?
Read MoreWhen I heard Bentley fired its priest just before the holidays, my first reaction wasn't outrage or satisfaction, but rather "Bentley has a priest?" Do other car companies have clergypeople? Is that a thing? I'll look into that in more detail.
Read MoreEarlier this week, Toyota reached a massive $1.3 billion settlement for the class action lawsuit that was filed after claims of unintended acceleration plagued the automaker in 2009 and 2010. Owners sued Toyota because the publicity of unintended acceleration — something that was determined to be the fault of the drivers in many cases — has caused the value of their cars to be impacted negatively.
Read More(The Porsche 918 is still a prototype, but now some outsiders are getting rides. Bob Rouleau from Rennlist got a chance to ride in the car earlier in December. We're not jealous. At all. - Ed.)
Read MoreThe Super Bowl Half Time show is known for nipple slips and, more recently, elderly rockers trying not to offend anyone. In 2013, Beyonce Knowles — of Destiny's Child and married to Jay-Z fame — will be the halftime performer. And while she'll probably have an elaborate stage, she won't be singing to a bevy of male models.
Read MoreThe Sultan of Brunei's car collection is one of the most famous — and secretive — in the world. Hundreds of cars are kept squirreled away in a locked garage where they are rarely driven. That means that some of them are decaying while others remain pristine, brand new examples of the rarest cars in the world.
Read MoreThe 2012 Honda Civic was highly regarded for being not very good at anything.
Read MoreLaw enforcement agencies from across the U.S. have reached out to Jalopnik for help with car identifications since your input was "critical" to solving a hit-and-run earlier this year, among others.

Read MoreWe already know the most important cars of 2012, but what about 2013? Jalopnik readers make their predictions.
Read MoreFor decades, Cadillacs solely appealed to a "mature audience." But in 1997, they built a car to appeal to the Spice Girl set.
Read MoreToday we witnessed the possible death of a Miata. It collapsed into a ditch and will be sold. Could there be another sports car that could survive this kind of abuse?
Read MoreNumerous safety recalls have been a blackmark on Toyota's stellar reliability reputation over the last few years. The biggest, and most notable recalls, were for unintended acceleration.
Read MoreIt's the final week of 2012, so we're wrapping the year up the way movie people are supposed to wrap the year up: Lists! Today, we each give our five worst movies of 2012. Tomorrow, we count down each of our No. 6-10 best movies of the year, and Friday, we finish off with each of our top five.
Read MoreI suppose it's possible that this is just a chyron error designed to make everyone's inner eight-year-old eject torrents of milk from their nostrils, but I suppose there's also a chance this could be real. Real as in the poor Tulsa, OK metropolitan area served by the intrepid reporters of Fox 23 is being inundated by rivers of icy mucous.
Read MoreThe Humanix group at Hiroshima University must be composed of terrible drivers guiltily suppressing memories of driving headlong into a crowd of children. There's little else that could justify the development of their new electric car project, iSave, which is designed to be safer to pedestrians by being covered with what appear to be old mattresses.
Read MoreSex appeal is used to sell cars in every country, but China has outdone the rest of the world with what they call "breast milk exhibitions," i.e. regular auto shows filled with topless and sometimes totally naked women.
Read MoreSometime in the mid-90s, the fold-down rear seat became a standard option on sedans. But there's been a problem with ever since. Car manufacturers have insisted on making the pass-through hole tiny — not even the full width of the trunk.
Read MoreThey had spent 14 days in darkness. Late on the morning of the 15th day, December 2, 1950, light finally peeked through a crack in the curtain that hung over the passenger-side window. Ben lifted the curtain and looked outside. The sky was blue, and the sun, as big as a dinner plate, shone brightly. The storm clouds had retreated to the horizon. Ben took a dirty tissue from his shirt pocket, swabbed his eyes, and lifted himself from behind the steering wheel.
Read MoreLots of vehicles will be released in 2013, including the 2014 Corvette, that we'll put in in lists like this. Let's get a start on the new year and pick out the unrevealed cars we think we'll talk the most about in 2013.

Read MoreIn 2011, Ferrari unveiled a Formula One car that they decided to call the F150. Ferrari didn't seem to realize that Ford sells a quite popular truck that is known as the F150.
Read MoreIt's all fine and good that Ford was able to get its 1.0-liter EcoBoost through airport security, but what if, instead of cast iron, its block were stamped out of thin steel and weighed less than 15 pounds?
Read MoreCars and surfboards are like peas and car-rots. They just go together. Give me a board, a wetsuit, a couple cans of beans and an old beater car and I'll be set for days, combing the coast on the hunt for waves.

Read MoreWhen I was on my way to Colombia this summer, a majority of the people I told where I was headed responded with, "Isn't that place dangerous?" Of course it's dangerous, but so is Southern California. You could get run over by one of the Governator's Hummers. The world, for that matter, is a dangerous place.
Read MoreWhile "gun advocates" are urging the government to deport Piers Morgan over his demand for stricter gun laws, reports are coming in that yet another egregious mass shooting event has taken place.

Read MoreSeriously, how's this for a cruel twist of fate? Suzuki got two accolades in a week, both of which should've been good news on the sales front. Problem is, American Suzuki filed for bankruptcy last month and is ending auto sales in the US. Great timing, guys.

Read MoreVolkswagen in China is famous for still selling the 1984 Mk.2 Jetta as the Jetta. Soon, they will be replacing the old Jetta with the new Jetta. Only VW isn't replacing the Jetta, and it's not with the Jetta, it's with the Santana, which isn't a Santana or a Jetta. Don't worry, this gets more confusing.

All luxury crossovers and SUVs will be named QX, which means the EX35 is now the QX50, the Infiniti JX is now the QX60, the smaller FX is now the QX70 and the QX56 is now the QX80. See, they go up in number as they get bigger (except for the QX70, which is actually smaller than the QX60).

Read MoreScience fiction and fantasy movies are full of amazing visuals — but the coolest thing about any SF film is usually that there's a real live human being in the middle of all that overwhelming strangeness. We want to see ourselves, in all our human frailty, juxtaposed with the danger and mystery of fantasy — and oftentimes, it's up to hard-working stunt performers to make that happen. Sometimes the only way to get a really cool moment of danger and excitement on screen is to risk smashing one of

That's all changing now.

Read MoreThe current M3 is great for turning into a racecar, but also very good at being the ultimate poser machine.

Alternatively, you can make a car that's well-built and sturdy, but needs regular tune-ups and simple repairs.
Read MoreIf you think about it, it's pretty clear that they don't make supercars for the hardcore fanatics. What the companies responsible for creating our dreamcars have in mind today are Chinese millionaires, Russian playboys, and some emission, noise and pedestrian safety regulations. Maybe some retired dentists as well.

Read MoreI know that's a bold statement to make in that headline there, but I mean it. I should clarify though— "interesting" does not mean "best" in any sense of the word. It's not the fastest, most advanced, most comfortable, or really any superlative (other than maybe "cheapest"). But some of the cars that are currently being built in India— the indigenous designed ones, not the license-built ones— are genuinely interesting automotive solutions to very unique Indian problems.

Read MoreOkay, everyone, go to the nightstand, get your diaries, and unlock them. Check back around July— see the tear-stained entry where you're lamenting how you knew, just knew you could have done better in the Great Headlight Quiz, but it was too, well, unfair? And how you'd kill for another chance?
Read MoreDaniel, the reason I brought you into my office is to talk about your behavior outside of work.

Read MoreWhat better way to get into illegal street racing than to post your name, phone number, and a picture of you and your outdated Lexus on the internet, for everyone to see? Daniel, aka The Street King, apparently did just that, and even offered to race for pink slips.
Read MoreThe Tesla Model S has been the darling of auto reviewers. Specifically, reviewers love Elon Musk's modified personal Model S, which is all many of them have driven so far. It looks like AutoWeek's Rory Carroll has a different Model S, and his attempt to charge the vehicle has left him stranded in his own driveway.
Read MoreFor months, General Motors has been teasing us with tidbits about the new Chevrolet Silverado, which is set to come out sometime next year. This is an important model for GM, because pickups only get overhauled about once a decade.
Read MoreThere are some vehicles you probably won't own in this lifetime. Things like an active nuclear submarine, a Space Shuttle, or even something a bit less powerful, like a Pagani Zonda. With the first banch of Huayras already delivered for those willing to fork out twice of the list price for them, used Zondas have started to get more expensive as well. Of course, Horacio Pagani will also make you a new one, if you have $2.6 million to spend. Lewis Hamilton had that amount, but in case you aren't
Read MoreThe classic debate: arguably better looks with a hardtop, or the open-air thrill of a droptop. Which will you be having?

Read MoreThe California is kind of the unwanted stepchild in the current Ferrari lineup. It's not as fast as the 458 and isn't as good at transporting four people as the FF. But in 20 years, it will be one of the most sought after Ferraris from this generation.
Read MoreThese are the best supercar sounds of 2012, shot by Marchettino and cut down to a sweet twelve minutes. All the supercars. They're all here. Enjoy.
Read MoreI met Jeffrey Hillman, the homeless man now standing barefoot at the center of a media flurry, in the spring of 2008. Freshly paroled from Columbia Law School, I sublet an apartment on 72nd and Columbus so I could study for the bar exam in the Jerusalem of yuppiedom, Manhattan's Upper West Side. My girlfriend and I loved the lifestyle, which New York Times columnist David Brooks described so elegantly as Bohemian Bourgeoisie. For us, this meant going to price-gouging farmer's markets, lectures a
Read MoreFord's been on an amazing streak building great cars that manage to sell to the masses. It's been a single brand turnaround that deserves all the praise we've been giving it. Ford's "premium" Lincoln brand is entirely made up of rebadged Fords that are slightly nicer and unreasonably more expensive. It's been a predictable failure
Read MoreWhen a tractor trailer blew up in his town, Dj Buttchug, of a href="http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=271400">r3vlimited forum fame, wrote it off as another meth lab explosion. But a month later he noticed there was something different about that particular supposed meth lab: Its flames had torched a heavily-modded BMW E30 widebody race car.
Read MoreHans Herrmann is, of course, Lucky Hans, the racing legend who, among many other things, won LeMans in 1970. I've spoken with this man in my house, even watched him play Forza for the first time. His grandson plays with my son. And yet I had no idea of his role in the development of the unmanned aerial drone.
Read MoreFirst, let's just get this out of the way. This V8 micro-Beetle is likely the Best In Show of the Los Angeles International Auto Show. Incredible power-to-weight ratio, classic styling, and, because it doesn't look like there's any way to actually get in and drive it, infinite fuel economy and zero emissions, since I also don't think it actually works. A triumph of engineering!

Read MoreWhen some automaker puts a styling touch into a car and you've never seen it before, it's bound to prompt others to quickly follow and adopt a trend.

Read MoreThe seller of today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe Westfalia Syncro is serious about its price. With a flat six out of a Subaru SVX, the Vanagon itself is pretty serious, but is that price really a joke?
Read MoreYou wouldn't think that foxes and ponies would go together so well, but the Fox-platform Mustang is that marque's longest-lived edition. Today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe '82 GT puts more horse in the corral, but does its price mean the seller is also crazy like a fox?
Read MoreToday's Nice Price or Crack Pipe Lincoln Mark V Coloma custom will help you cart home in style all your holiday swag, but will its price require carting too much cash?
Read MoreIf you wanted your own red sleigh for the holidays you could do worse than today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe Mazda FD as instead of eight tiny reindeer it comes with eight big pots. Will its price however make you dash away, dash away, dash away all?
Read MoreLa Forza del Destino is an opera by Giuseppe Verdi that features love, death, betrayal. . . and gypsies! Less dramatic is today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe Laforza, but will its price have you wishing the fat lady would sing?
Read MoreThe title for today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe was pulled straight from the ad for this Mitsubishi 3000GT modified to look like a Ferrari. Lose money or not, that bold pronouncement of course leads to the question: is the price for this replica reprehensible?
Read MoreTo drive in the International Race of Champions, you need to be at a winner. To drive today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe IROC-Z you need only have the necessary cash. The question is, will its price have you saying ROC-on?

Read MoreFollowing the success of the Mustang, Ford thought they'd roll the equine dice a couple more times, coming up with the Pinto and today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe Maverick. There's a lot shared between the Mav' and the ‘Stang, but does this pony's price mean its seller isn't just horsing around?
Read MoreWhile there's nothing more American than a Jeep, diesel engines seem more the predilection of our funny talkin' friends overseas. Today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe Wrangler attempts to link those worlds, but is its price a bridge too far?
Read MoreThe fact that today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe Chevy S-10 has a 500 CID Caddy V8 in back means that the only thing it'll haul is ass. Does its price however, mean a buyer would also be taking it, well, you know where?

Read MoreThe lyrics to the metalcore band On Broken Wings' song Six Hundred Cubic Centimeters includes the line- I've got some questions, and I want them answered.

Read MoreWhen you see an ad for a 40-year old one-owner car, you start to wonder what stories it and its owner might share. Today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe Audi 100ls is just such a ride, but is its price too tall a tale?
Read MoreMany lament that the Lincoln of today does not reflect the luxury and ostentation of the brand's great products of years past.

Read MoreYou know what question I get asked most as a racecar driver? No, not, "Do you get scared?" and, amazingly, not even, "How fast does your car go?" The most commonly asked question is, "Why do you have to be fit to drive a racecar? All you do is sit down and turn a wheel?"

Read MoreThe same people who drove an incredibly fast electric BMW M3 up Pikes Peak this May are back with something even more exciting: an all-electric offroad racecar built for the Baja 1000.
Read MoreBack in the late 1990s Ferrari was recovering from the disappointment that was the F50 by developing something better: The Enzo.
Read MoreI felt like I was having things a bit too easy Will It Baby-wise recently — a car with an extra door just for kid-loading, a huge, spacious truck — so this time when I picked a car to try I decided to really make it tough. So, with that in mind, I set out to try and find the absolute smallest car I could cram a toddler, myself, and my wife in without turning ourselves into a thick, viscous paste.
Read MoreYou have to admit that 2012 was a truly banner year for Craigslist car ads.
Read MoreThe four-door M6 is something BMW would have kept a secret until next year, but as usual, the pictures were leaked. So here it is: your 560 hp four-door gran turismo filled with all the power and luxury you will ever need.
Read MoreHere it is, the brand new E-Class in all its glory. As you can see, the biggest change is that Mercedes-Benz's most important model will switch from the dual-pod lights seen on the current one to single units with LED wizardry. I guess that's how Stuttgart says "hi" to Ingolstadt.
Read MoreAlthough some might say that the Porsche 914 was nothing but a bastard child made to replace the aging Porsche 912 and the VW Karmann-Ghia, we simply love its design, and the whole idea of a Porsche two-seater made for the masses... even if it only had 80 horsepower.
Read MoreBy now, most of you realize that I'm an idea man. My mind takes the nutrient-rich paste editor Hardigree euphemistically calls "food" when he shoves it into my work-pod, and turns it into pure, unadulterated ideas. Of course, 90% of the resulting ideas are total crap, and of the remaining 10%, 90% of those are ideas for pickup lines that could have worked on Dolly Madison (like: Hey, baby, check it out, my watch has no hands.)
Read MoreCar design's next great step won't come from a sketch but from a substance. Jalopnik readers know ten materials both new and old, that could change car design for the better.
Read MoreIt's looking very likely that a bill in Congress that will make mandatory the use of "black boxes"— more formally, Event Data Recorders (EDR) — will become law soon.
