What if I told you there's a new, RWD, German sedan with a manual transmission, sport-tuned suspension, turbocharged four-cylinder engine, near perfect 50/50 weight distribution, and 18-inch wheels that you could get for $34,745 with the destination? Here's the six-letter order code you need to get just that.
Read MoreEver since we realized that it takes less energy to float stuff over water rather than drag it around on the ground, we've been building ships. And those ships are now remarkably huge. But which is the hugest?
Read MoreThree years ago, Italian boutique manufacturer Faralli and Mazzanti came out with the $473,000 Vulca S. Designed by fellow Hungarian Zsolt Tárnok, it was a nice looking car with allegedly the build quality of a Lada Niva. Today, Faralli is gone, but Zsolt has penned a new supercar called the Evantra.
Read MoreThe former Swiss brand Saurer was mostly known for their well-built buses, trucks and the occasional tank, but Carrosserie Saurer also had a go at improving Italian design in the eighties...
Read MoreYes, the new-to-America Volvo V60 wagon looks good, but why exactly is that? What is it about the design that works so well?
Read MoreJalopnik reader Kurt emailed us yesterday, as people often do, seeking some car buying advice. Luckily for us, Kurt isn't struggling over whether to buy a Camry or an Accord; he's considering three very badass and very different German performance cars.
Read MoreThe "first drive" reviews of the new 2015 Volkswagen GTI have been trickling out as of late, and if they're to be believed, the car is good. Like, really good. Like maybe the best thing since sliced bread.
Read MoreThe last Chevy Impala wasn't what you'd call a good car. It wasn't really even a mediocre car. It was just a car you'd rent on a business trip and never consider buying for yourself. Chevy wants all that to change with the 2014 Impala. That means the new Impala better be pretty damn good.
Read MoreSince car makers haven't brought all their delights to the U.S., we have to hunt down these machines in their natural habitat. Welcome to Jalopnik's European Review series. We start with this Estoril Blue BMW 320d M Sport Touring, which will become America's BMW 328d wagon.
Read MoreNeed a car on the cheap? Don't want one of those crazy 97-month car loans they offer now? Then head on down to your local New York City public auction for the deal of the century: cars as low as $300 just because they were obliterated during Hurricane Sandy.
Read MoreCrap. Well, to be fair, semi-functional crap. And, to be even more than fair, for the cost of a decent LA burger you can actually get a mostly-functioning electronic device that can capture and store video images from the dashboard of your car. That in itself is pretty incredible. But it's still crap. Crap with a laser!
Read MoreYes, it seems to be named after the astromech droid R2-D2 lost his virginity to behind a pile of power converters, but the truth is the DVR-027 is a decent, capable dash cam. That's a good thing, since it also seems to be one of the more popular ones, sold under an array of equally forgettable alphanumeric names. It's cheap, works every time, and has decent picture quality. Out of this first batch of cameras we tested, this is the one to get.
Read MoreI'm going to start our dash cam reviews with the highest-end one we purchased for two reasons: first, because you as my readers deserve the absolute best, and second, the damn piece of shit broke almost immediately and I want to just go ahead and get this out of the way. Sorry for the spoiler.
Read MoreThe embargo on reviews of the all-new 2014 Jaguar F-Type lifted last night and so the web is teeming with takes on Jaguar's first proper two-seat sports car in decades. And guess what? It turns out it's pretty great.
Read MoreSome good news and bad news on the car-buying front. The good news is that the American economy has improved to the point where credit is much more readily available than it was a few years ago, so people have an easier time financing cars. The bad news is that the terms of their auto loans are increasing dramatically.
Read MoreWhen the Ford Explorer came out in 1990, it was a hot commodity and early on, dealers struggled to keep them on the lots. My father was an automotive reviewer at a local newspaper at the time and his boss was trying to track down an American SUV to replace his Isuzu Trooper. He wanted an Explorer and wouldn’t consider a Mazda Navajo that he could have that afternoon at the Mazda dealership down the street because “it wasn’t an American car.” Except it was.
Read MoreFilmmakers have taken quite a liking to Detroit in recent years. Its, as a writer for Time put it during the magazine's grand experiment yearlong reporting extravaganza on the city, "gritty backdrop" and Michigan's lucrative film incentive program has bolstered the production of a number of Hollywood blockbusters (some of which were serious duds) and TV shows across the state.
Read MoreForget all about Jimmy Fallon and that puddle of beige goo Lincoln has been calling cars of late. Let's go back to a time when Lincoln meant class. It meant style. It meant "personal luxury" and all of the loud polyester tie, wide lapel wearing glory that entails.
Read MoreCar companies and car dealers can get pretty desperate when it comes to getting you to buy a car. How desperate? Jalopnik readers know ten ploys that will have you shaking your head.
Read MoreI like what Volvo is doing. After a long period of curious choices and mostly uninspired cars, Volvo has made a few nods towards vehicles that are simultaneously competitive and unique (as opposed to neither). The Volvo S60 R-Design may be the best example of this.
Read MoreThere are many forgotten cars on the roads these days. Cars you see in line at Taco Bell waiting for a Doritos Locos Taco that cause you to take a second and think to yourself "oh yeah, that's still a thing!" The Volvo C30 is one of those cars and, perhaps for that reason, this is the last year they'll sell it here. You'll never forget the Volvo C30 Polestar, though.
Read MoreThe car business is a multi-trillion dollar industry with stiff competition. This leads to some hilariously desperate attempts to draw buyers into the showrooms.

Read MoreLast night we saw a V8 Miata start itself, a home, and a man on fire. I got in touch with the "idiot kid" who did nearly everything wrong in the face of danger. This is why he tried to blow out an engine fire with his mouth, why he sprayed his engine with water, and just how badly he was burned.
Read MoreRacetracks die for many reasons: sometimes they're deemed unsafe, sometimes they lose money, sometimes they get houses built on top of them. Which ones need to come back?
Read MoreIn all his years racing, Dale Earnhardt Sr. won at Daytona International Speedway 34 times. He only won the biggest race at the track, the Daytona 500, once. But the celebration for that win rivaled the joy that is seen when a new Pope takes the helm of the Catholic Church.
Read MoreThis year marks the 30th anniversary of Return Of The Jedi, the Ewok-filled amazingness that spelled the end of the original Star Wars trilogy. That film contained one of the most amazing high-speed chases ever seen on film. This is how they brought that death-defying chase to life.

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 MoreFor much of the automobile's existence, American tastes have dominated what's new in car design and ergonomics. Where do you think the prominence of cupholders come from? Makes sense, since we were long the biggest new car market. But it also extends to things like placement of window and cruise control switches.
Read MoreWe've been talking about cop cars a lot lately, haven't we? First there was all of the ridiculous patrol cars used by the cops in Dubai, and then there was the Seattle cop who rides around in a restored 1970 Plymouth cruiser.
Read MoreAs Lamborghini celebrates 50 years of motoring insanity this week, now seems like an appropriate time to look back on what may have been their most important car. It's the Lamborghini that redefined what an automobile could do and created the modern supercar archetype as we know it.
Read MoreEver wondered what happened to the mall in The Blues Brothers after Jake, Elwood, and all those cops drove right through it? They actually left it just the way it was, but that's only the start of the Dixie Square Mall's decline.
Read MoreKill Bill co-star David Carradine was a big car guy and requested Cadillac's Cien Concept for his eponymous character in Kill Bill. Quentin Tarantino isn't a car guy and he planned to use a silver Porsche for Bill's ride. Luckily for all of us, Carradine won.
Read MoreSo I just locked myself out of the rental car my insurance company is providing while the claim for my Beetle gets worked out. It's partially my own fault, of course, but it should be a pretty easy thing to fix. After all, the rental company was nice enough to provide a lavish two keys with the car. Two keys! A main key and a backup! I'm saved, right? Wrong. Because both keys are locked on the same ring. Fuuuuuuuuuuck.
Read MoreCar forums are such special places. They're where enthusiasts go to share knowledge with one another, forge bonds based on mutual passions, and build lasting communities. But sometimes, a forum member will post something so asinine — so insanely stupid — that an epic takedown is in order. This is the story of such a takedown.

Read MoreLast week, we ran an excellent article by one of our extended Jalop family called 5 Reasons Why Retro Needs To Die. Intellectually, I can’t say that I really disagree with any particular point, and the arguments are cogent and well-considered. So why do I love some retro designs so much?
Read MoreYou want a Lamborghini. You can't afford a Lamborghini. Instead of just fantasizing, you decide to have other people to buy it for you. That's right. One man wants you to pay for his Lamborghini, and you get absolutely nothing in return, other than knowing that he now drives a Lambo.

Read MoreTiff Needell is a man used to driving some very serious, very fast cars. It's amazing to watch him in action. But everyone's probably getting pretty sick of seeing him drive finely-tuned, expensive sports cars all the time, right? It's time he took something else on the track. Something that looks more like a washing machine.
Read MorePutting a celebrity in your ad will make your car sell better, right? Jalopnik readers know ten ads that question that maxim.
Read MoreWe get pretty harsh on Lincoln (Lincoln Motor Company, forgive me) these days because of their laughable ad campaigns and insipid product range of late. But in the 1930s they were remarkably good, and the 1939 Zephyr represents just how good things got.
Read MoreWith the Shanghai Auto Show in full swing and China's ever-growing middle and upper classes moving to the forefront, the concept of "luxury" is ruling the day. The thing is, the definition of luxury varies from person to person. Is it classic styling? A smooth ride? A powerful engine? Neat features? Or all of these and more?
Read MoreThis, my fellow members of the Working Proletariat, is what the endless joy of Communism brings us. This beast of burden, this chromed harbinger of the downfall of the bourgeoisie, this generous mass that has been handed down to us by those who are more equal than others, is the true reward for harmoniously striving towards a common goal.

Read MoreAmerica has had a rough week. The tragedies in Massachusetts and Texas are still firmly on everyone’s minds, despite the jubilation last night, and it can begin to weigh on a country. With all that’s been going on, why don’t we take a brief respite and work up a bit of nostalgia?

Read MoreI go to a very fratty college. I see a lot of chillbrodudes in Croakies, pink shorts, and backwards fraternity caps drivin' big SUVS. That got me thinking: "What constitutes the ultimate fratmobile?" In search for answers, I interviewed some of the chillest, most brotastic dudes on campus.
Read MoreRubbernecking. It's the phenomenon that occurs when people decide to slow down and stare at an accident on the highway. Well, it ruins everyone's day and you need to stop doing it. Now.
Read MoreWhen you think of Dale Earnhardt, you think of Talladega. You think of championships. You think of his nickname, "The Intimidator." But you don't think of him as a country music superstar. You should, and that's because he sings on a long lost 1983 album, along with other NASCAR drivers. It. Is. Amazing.

Read MoreRemember Chris Evans, the British DJ who bought the world's most expensive car back in 2008? Well, apart from the California he lent to James May, he also happens to own a bunch of white Ferraris which he often uses for charity events.

Read MoreWhen I got up this morning and saw that our beloved Sir Stirling Moss commented on women in racing I sensed it would be bad, but I wasn't prepared for just how awful his response would end up being. He's not just wrong, he's wrong in a particularly offensive and sexist way.

Read MoreTop dog. Man in front. The king. To some manufacturers, the title of "World's Fastest Production Car" is essential to their existence. It may even be worth more than bragging rights. It's marketing, advertising, and pedigree all in one. There are even disputes over who can claim the current title. It wasn’t always this way.
Read MoreThe cost of living in America's big name cities isn't getting any cheaper. Here in New York, everyone under the age of 97 has moved to Brooklyn, and everyone else is moving out altogether. This causes some problems.
Read MoreJust what is the fastest car in the world? Over the last few days, no one seems especially sure anymore. The Bugatti Veyron Super Sport had held that record since 2010, but it was revoked over the weekend. Now the official title has reverted to the SSC Ultimate Aero — and SSC says their forthcoming Tuatra will be even better. But Hennessey Performance says that the Venom GT is faster still, and don't forget the Koenigsegg Agera R. What gives?
Read MoreBernie Ecclestone is one of the most well known faces in all of motorsports, and he isn't even a successful driver. That's because Bernie literally holds the keys to the world's most popular motorsport. But beyond that, Bernie is a sexist, greedy troll that will do nearly anything to bolster his own pockets and could care less about the tradition of Formula One.

Read MoreYesterday, I was able to give you a few details about John DeLorean's dream sedan, the futuristic DMC-24. Today, I can share with you almost everything about it thanks to a detailed document sent to us by James Espey, Vice President of today's DeLorean Motor Company. Buckle up, we use a bit of time travel!
Read MoreFor some reason, we sure have been talking about cocaine around here a lot lately. There was the coke-tastically 1980s DeLorean sedan, and then there was the Ferrari California posing next to what looked like a mountain of the white stuff. Blow and expensive cars just seem to go hand-in-hand!
Read MoreI'm still on a stolen-car kick here, and all the talk of theft prevention and alarms got me wondering just how long car alarm systems have been around? The first recorded car theft happened to, of all people, a Baron. He moved to create the first car alarm.
Read MoreJohn DeLorean had many great ideas for keeping his (soon to become troubled) company even before the first gullwinged DMC-12 sports car left the factory in 1981. One was a bus, the other a utility vehicle, but the most exciting of them all of course was the DMC-24 sedan, which resulted in a rolling prototype created by Italdesign.
Read MoreThe other day we pointed out the flying Bugatti in the trailer for Neil Blomkamp's new movie, Elysium, and noted the tiny presence of what appeared to be a modified Nissan GT-R being flung into some trucks. Well, thanks to 808morgan over at Oppo, we now have a much better picture of the car. It's 140 years old but looks great.

Read MoreWhenever I see an email from any scrappy new startup company touting about how they’re going to “revolutionize personal transportation” I can almost always sketch the car they’re talking about without even seeing it: a sleek, low, three-wheeled wedge of a car. It’s not always the case, but it’s pretty incredible how often throughout the past century it’s been so. What I want to know is both why this design keeps getting reborn, and why it can’t ever seem to quite survive?
Read MoreStarting as an elegant Ghia coupe that remains one of Giugiaro's best designs, then a twin-turbo V6 with Connolly leather for the nineties, followed by the first diesel sedan with the trident up front, the Ghibli has come a long way since 1966.
Read MoreDriving a car isn't as difficult as it was just a few years ago thanks to a focus on driver aids and electronic intervention designed to make us safer. But we've now gotten to the point where people can drive and masturbate out the window at high speed. It might be time to dial things back a little.
Read MoreBugatti had the world record for "world's fastest car" stripped away earlier this week. But they didn't have the world record for "world's fastest convertible" taken away. Screw you Guinness, the long-named and halloween-colored Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse World Record Edition has just leaked out. And yes, it's yet another special edition Veyron.
Read MoreThere's some kind of new Bugatti coming and I will be very surprised if it's not another incomprehensibly straightfaced Teutonic superspeeder. But it doesn't have to be that way.
Read MoreHere’s the most incredible thing about today: my prized Beetle has had its eyes gouged out, its hood and decklid battered, it bumpers mangled, roof rack stolen, radio gone, and the entire engine brutally extracted, and all I can think about is how amazingly wonderful people are.
Read MoreNews that the legendary Chevrolet Chevelle nameplate may be making a comeback yesterday was mainly met with trepidation rather than optimism, even among the most hardcore GM faithful. As much as we all would like to see the Chevelle come back as a muscular coupe with a V8 — or maybe even that 420-horsepower V6 from the 2014 Cadillac CTS — experience tells that isn't likely.
Read MoreIt's because the name "Lamborghini Militaria 001" (or "Lamborghini Mimran 001" since the Swiss family just bought into the company) was already taken by this. It took Lamborghini two expensive and completely useless prototypes to finally reach perfection with the third design (and a V12).

Read MoreErnest Hemingway is said to have uttered the famous quote “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games.” While there is some debate over whether he said that or not, if it is true we can assume that he was probably a car guy, or at the very least, a racing fan. Now his 1955 Chrysler New Yorker convertible is getting restored — if the restorers can figure out how to get the necessary parts down to Cuba.

Read MoreGrowing up as a kid who loved cars, I have many memories of certain influential cars I used to see around in Greensboro, NC. There was the pristine beige '66 Beetle in my neighborhood, the MGA I saw on the way to fifth grade every day, and I think I knew where all two of Greensboro's Fiat Stradas were in the 1980s. But the one that's been on my mind recently is much stranger: a late '80s Ford Escort GT covered in anti-sodomy stickers.
Read MoreFiat's Giugiaro-designed 850 Spider was a strong seller, but also getting pretty old by 1968, so Bertone was commissioned to come up with a new barchetta. The following X1/9 was produced for 17 years.

Read MoreTwo teenagers were driving a 1998 Mazda Protege in Virginia yesterday when the brakes stopped working. That sent the occupants into an amazing, high-speed chase where every solution to slow the car down failed. It ended with the teens jumping out of the car while it was still moving, leaving it to careen into cop cars on the interstate. And somehow nobody was killed.

Read MoreJessica Heeringa, 25, was working the late shift at an Exxon station in Norton Shores, MI when she was abducted at about 11 PM on Friday, April 26. The young mom's car and other belongings were left at the station, and it seems she was taken away in a silver or grey minivan. The only footage of the vehicle was recorded from a tavern about a mile away from the Exxon station, and the image of the van is pretty awful. That's where we come in.
Read MoreScott Speed undoubtedly has the best name in motorsports. He's a racing driver and his last name is Speed. It doesn't get better than that. He's also the last American to drive full-time in Formula One, is a karting champion, and is currently trying out NASCAR. And right now he's here to answer your questions. Fire away!
Read MoreMatt Yglesias of Slate wrote Monday morning about a Washington Post article on how tree canopy's density in a neighborhood reflects income in Washington D.C.

Read MoreIt came up again this week — the Millennial Question. You know, the issue that automakers and car enthusiasts alike have with young people. They don't care about cars, and if this data is to be believed, they're part of the reason Americans' driving has dropped off in recent years.

But when someone scratches the very paint that displays your baby to the world, that's malicious.

If there's one thing Americans are generally really good at, it's buying electronic gizmos they'll play with for a few weeks and then leave in a drawer. Dash cams, for whatever reason, are different.

Read MoreThe high school in the Japanese coastal town of Rikuzentakata was completely destroyed following the tsunami of 2011, along with 80% of the buildings in the city. Now, however, they may get their lost boat back, thanks to Facebook.
Read MoreThere's really only two things you can tell when you see a disguised test car out on a street: A. It comes from a company that makes or plans to make cars and B. It's a design that's disguised because we're not supposed to know about it yet. This disguised Fisker Karma breaks both of those rules.
Read MoreI tend to think the Miata is pretty much perfect. Ok, in stock form, I'll admit that it might not be the most capable tow vehicle of all time. Good thing there's a simple fix for it, and it only requires two V8 engines.
Read MoreRolls-Royce's very first V8 engine was placed in a car whose sole purpose was to keep you from speeding. It was actually the first time a V8 had ever been designed for a passenger car. And, another version of this car was meant to compete with electric cars. Pretty much everything about these ideas seem nuts, but this was way back in 1905 when everything was nuts, anyway.

Read MoreThere was nothing I wanted to do more than drive when I was but a wee lad. I dreamt of stealing a car and going for a ride, but I never actually did it. I guess I don't have the same cojones as this six-year old from Michigan.

Read MoreTires have been the talk of F1 so far this season. For whatever reason, each week the tires seem to degrade faster and faster. This week, the soft tires would last maybe six laps before a massive performance drop off. But two people were able to take advantage of the tire. And those people were Fernando Alonso and Sebastian Vettel.
Read MoreIn the last month, I’ve had about half a dozen people ask me, "What’s a good car for a new driver?" Some of these are parents, some are kids who know nothing about cars, some want to just go fast. And yet there’s an intersection that usually makes everyone happy.

Read MorePolitics and racing are always a volatile mix, and that is certainly true with this weekend's Sprint Cup race: the NRA 500 in Texas. That name and the controversy that goes with it threatens to overshadow the actual race itself. Some gun control proponents have gone so far as to argue that the race should not be broadcast on television.

Read MoreWell, um, that didn't take long. The people at Guinness World Records have decided to give the "world's fastest production car" title back to the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport today, less than a week after taking it away. It's quite an upset after we've been talking about speed records all week.

Read MoreEverything is social these days. If you don't tweet and update your Facebook status every 40 minutes, you are an outcast and a pariah. If you don't Instagram your meals, your friends will pretend not to know you. And if you don't develop a social gaming experience, nobody will buy your latest game. And that's why Grid 2 has gone intensely social.
Read MoreCool as they look, many military vehicles are actually terrible to drive. Some of them, though, we really do want to daily drive.
Read MoreWe were pretty pumped to report on the car lineup in the upcoming Need For Speed movie. The sexy new $1.3 million McLaren P1? A Bugatti Veyron Super Sports? A Koenigsegg Agera R? It seemed like the hypercar breakfast buffet of our dreams. But now evidence has surfaced that the cars used in the movie are just replicas, and not the real deal.

Read MoreIt was a rough weekend for Bugatti as the Guinness World Records folks announced that the Veyron Super Sport is no longer the world's fastest production car after they discovered it used a deactivated speed limiter not present on the cars sold to the public.

Read MoreThe Ford Focus made big waves recently after market researcher R.L. Polk & Co. reported that the car outsold all other vehicles in 2012 thanks in part to strong sales in China. While this should be a cause for celebration among fans of non-boring compact cars, Toyota, the king of boring compact cars, fired back to say that their Corolla is still number one.

Read MoreAs far as I can tell after looking at Welsh design guru Ross Lovegrove’s newest work, the Twin’z, Renult’s future design is trippy. The electric supermini also looks a bit like a Fiat 500 from more than one angle, but the colors and the suicide doors certainly help.
Read MoreSPEED can't catch a brake (get it?) lately. First, they lost the rights to F1 coverage in the US. Then it was announced they'd be rebranded as Fox Sports 1 and lose their motorsports focus. Today, a naked man broke into the cable channel's headquarters and trashed the place. Rough.

I've called every impound lot, entered the license plate into databases, combed adjoining and sketchier neighborhoods, made and distributed flyers, Facebooked, Tweeted, placed Craigslist ads, and anything else I could think to try.

Read MoreLike their corporate parent BMW, Mini has been on an expansion binge in recent years, adding new cars and SUVs to their lineup as if the automobile itself is somehow on the way out and they need to make as much money as they can before they have to find new jobs.

Now there's evidence that another storied GM nameplate might make a comeback: the Chevrolet Chevelle.

It's a collection of songs about racing legend Juan Manuel Fangio driving a 900 SPG across the Andes mountains to kill notorious Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet.

Well, after showing it to the public at the Geneva Motor Show last month, the French put an indicator on it and introduced their newest car as the new C4 Picasso. I just love the fact that they haven't cut back the styling at all, so a viva la France is in order.

There's fires, less-than-stellar performance, an interior the size of a Geo Metro, build quality that has a real Pyongyang sort of charm, and, of course, a crippling lack of money.

And while the car itself is very impressive and seriously making me reconsider my life of petty crime, so far it only seems to exist as one prototype and lots of mockups. Carbon reportedly has thousands of orders from police departments, and in turn they allegedly have over 200,000 six-cylinder diesel engines ordered from BMW. And now they seem

It’s the strange story about a strange car called the Dale.
