Read MoreFifty years ago, Italian yacht manufacturer Riva began production of the Riva Aquarama, a runabout so gorgeous and powerful it was described as "the Ferrari of the boating world." That must have inspired Ferruccio Lamborghini to say "Fuck that noise, I can do it better." And better he did.
Read MoreIt looks like the current Mazda Miata is going out with a bang. Before the NC gets replaced by a new roadster co-developed with Alfa Romeo, British enthusiasts will have access to a hotted up version with some tasty BRZ-fighting power. The only problem is it won't be cheap.
Read MoreCasablanca is one of those rare movies that was well-received in its time, has stayed popular through the decades and absolutely holds up when you watch it today. This is true for a lot of reasons, not the least of which was Humphrey Bogart's ultra-cool, morally complex club owner Rick Blaine. And now you can own his car!

Read MoreRappers and reality TV heroes who I'm not familiar with at all, rejoice! Here's the new 2015 Cadillac Escalade! Yes, 22-inch wheels are available, there's plenty of space for your stuff, hitting a deer shouldn't be a problem, and it's very manly.

Read MoreThe last time I drove the F30 BMW 3-Series, it was the top dog 335i with the sport package. I didn't love it and thought that BMW might have lost some of that sport sedan special sauce. But the baby 320i is a different story, and it's superb.

Read MoreAside from the somewhat sad joy of flinging a car I'll never, ever get to own around a track, AMG was also thoughtful enough to taunt me with a car that, under the ideal circumstances (finding a used one that a rogue zoo chimp masturbated in for a week) I may just be able to afford one day: the CLA45 AMG.

Read MoreGiving people who aren't car enthusiasts advice on buying a car when you are a car enthusiasts is one of the worst things in the world. They ask you because they think you know a lot about cars, which you do. And that's the problem.
Read MoreWe've written a lot about American Expedition Vehicles here, so when we were offered a little seat time in the Brute Double Cab, a converted Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, of course we jumped on the chance. A Jeep truck, like stuffed crust pizza and Thursday Night Football, just makes sense.
Read MoreI'm not an old school guy. I love double clutch gearboxes and I think they're the way of the future. But I just drove a car with a gated manual shift and it's properly magical. It's also the end-of-the-line. So who is to blame?
Read MoreBMW's least powerful 4-Series coupe does many things remarkably well. It's got the looks, it'll go as fast as you'll ever need and on top of that, it barely needs fuel. That's why it's a shame America is not going to get it.
Read MoreMIATA. It is the answer to every possible question. Its name is an old High German word that means "reward." More of them are tracked every weekend than just about any other car. It is scientifically impossible to not have fun driving one.
Read MoreI'm not going to lie, I was a bit nervous before getting the 2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS GT AMG Black Edition on the track. Sure, it's got those elegant gullwing doors to charm the sense out of you, but it's a genuinely intimidating machine. And I think a little bit of trepidation is healthy, since everyone should be a little nervous before doing anything with a monster.
Read MoreI'll just say it. The 2014 Cadillac CTS is easily the best sedan General Motors has ever built. Ever.
Read MoreI finally figured it out. The 2014 Corvette Stingray isn't from 2014 at all. It's actually the 2024 Corvette. General Motors has a time machine, and they use it to ship these cars back to our era after building them with future technology. That must be it.
Read MoreLamborghini has nothing close to a racing heritage in its past. But that doesn't mean it's too late to start. The Super Trofeo series is that start. And it's an absolutely incredible one. Here's what it's like to drive one of the fastest sports cars in the world.

It remains the winningest vehicle in all of sports car racing. Its nickname is the not even remotely subtle "God's Chariot."
Read MoreThe Campagna T-Rex is confusing. It's sort of like wearing a ridiculous hat with a unicorn horn on it and eating something fried on a stick at a carnival — it's a lot of fun while you're doing it, but it's completely impractical for normal life, and you look a little like an idiot. Also, like driving an actual cloned or reincarnated T-Rex, people are likely to stare at you.

Read MoreWhile it can't come close to the Wrangler's iconic status and history, the Cherokee is a Jeep with a real legacy and following. Actually, until they bring back the 'Wagoneer' name, it's Jeep's only other worthwhile name. Compass? Liberty? Who cares. But Cherokee means something, and the 2014 Jeep Cherokee may just live up to the name.
Read MoreAs a car owner, you have two options: Find a good, honest and reliable car mechanic, or become one yourself. In the meantime, be careful when it comes to the following ten repairs.
Read MoreIt’s Halloween, and I’d like to commemorate that by both injecting harmless-but-hilarious amounts of grain alcohol into fun-sized Snickers bars and sharing one of my favorite Frankenstein cars with you. The car is the VW Type 147, known as the Fridolin, and it’s an unholy mash-up of four different kinds of VW.
Read MoreThere's something inherently right about a big engine in a little car. There's also something inherently wrong about a little engine in a big car — and that's why I like them so much.
Read MoreThe Toyota Camry is one of the most boring cars on the road. How do you unboring it? You make it into a rally car with throwback graphics, knobby tires, fog lights, and turbos under the hood. If this doesn't win Toyota's Dream Build Challenge, then I might start losing faith in car nuts everywhere.
Read MoreCars used to have cool names that meant something, like the 'Mercer Raceabout.' Now we have total bullcrap, like the 'Toyota Avanza.' When did this start happening? What was the first car to have a totally meaningless name that sounded kinda cool?
Read MoreOkay, hypocrisy time. After I called out that Pink Dolphin Ferrari 458 Italia as the worst Ferrari paint job ever, you might think I also hate that EDM producer Deadmau5 wants to wrap his 458 in Nyan Cat livery. Except I don't because this is AMAZING.
Read MoreI could feel one wheel dangling in the air. Then everything started to heave over. I thought I could just throw my weight across the passenger seat to stop the car, but gravity didn't care. 'Shit,' I thought, 'I just rolled the Bug.'

Read MoreThere was a lot of handwringing from commenters last night about the demise of Pontiac. Whether you buy it that the Federal government forced General Motors to kill it, or you think that GM killed the brand themselves, it was the right thing to do. I would've done the same. And here's why.
Read MoreOld trucks aren't supposed to be a loveable bunch. They were usually built for nothing but utility, and at the end of their lives they tend to be a bit used up. Some of them though are just so goddamn pretty. And as they're suddenly now a good investment, which one looks the best?
Read MoreSaudi Arabia has some of the most repressive laws against women in the entire world, prohibiting them from even sitting behind the wheel of a car. Today, brave women across Saudi Arabia are protesting those laws by simply by driving, and brave comedians are protesting by making absolutely hilarious songs.
Read MoreWhile the world tends to idealize Ayrton Senna nearly 20 years after his death, we shouldn't forget that he was a big racing star with big sponsorship deals. Sometimes those sponsors would just straight up give him a new family. And sometimes those sponsors would saddle him with an old Honda Prelude.
Read MoreBMW has been building the exact same car for 51 years and everyone seems surprised about it.
Read MoreHere's a fun problem to have. Let's say you're a car company famous for going racing. You built yourself a bunch of racing cars so you could beat the pants off your biggest rival. Then you find out you have a couple leftovers! What the hell do you do with them?

Read MoreDiesels are bad for the environment. The Prius is good for the environment. Bigger is safer. American cars are junk. As someone who constantly gives advice to people who want insight before they buy a new vehicle it's amazing how stunningly wrong people are about the state of modern cars. Correct your assumptions or risk getting screwed.
Read MoreWe get promised automobiles for a better tomorrow all the time, but they rarely pan out. Maybe that's because a lot of them are really crap ideas?

Because of that sound.
Read MoreCars produce thousands of data points every second, yet we've been trained to believe that a car should give us information with these tiny mechanical gauges that mostly hover somewhere in the middle.

Read MoreLast Wednesday marked the 55th birthday of the Chevrolet El Camino, the thing most Americans probably picture when they think of a car that effectively doubles as a pickup.
Read MoreCover your ears, everyone. There have been some truly awful car commercials over the years. But often what makes a forgettable ad memorable is the bad music that goes with it.
Read MoreSo there I was, watching seven hours straight of car commercials, like you do, when I hit upon the Chevrolet Silverado "Strong" ad. What followed was a string of vomit that matched my extended ad-viewing session in length if not monotony. But surely there are worse ads out there.
Read MoreLike most of you, I watched the rant by Popular Science editor and Millennial Dave Mosher about why he doesn't care about cars with a mix of horror and bewilderment. But the more I watched his rant, the more I realized that he's right about quite a few things.

And one of the most famous of these, the Mini's Moke version, is now getting reborn. In China. By Australians.
Read MoreAll right, which one of you wrote this Craigslist ad, and why does it speak to me? A Craigslist seller in Enid, OK, not only called Jalopnik out by name, but pandered straight to our need to hoon things in the mud and our impeccable interior decorating sensibilities (read: piles of parts in the living room).
Read MoreLoving cars is one thing, making love to cars is very different. Edward Smith is a man who is sexually attracted to cars, which is a totally normal thing that I'm sure afflicts literally dozens of people. Well, he's found the car he loves most: A VW Beetle. I hear wedding bells!
Read MoreWashington Redskins breakout running back Alfred Morris is the kind of guy who could probably drive whatever he wants. But his ride of choice is still "The Bentley," a 1991 Mazda 626 he bought from his pastor while he was in college. Now, four months and 275 man hours later, The Bentley is back and better than ever and Morris couldn't be happier.

You've got companies like Sbarro making cars designed for falconry, and there's genuine kooks like Mohs, making gigantic, exterior-upholstered monsters.

Read MoreConcept cars are, by their very nature, ephemeral creatures. They appear at auto shows, dazzle us or underwhelm us, and then disappear. Some go into production, some inspire later designs, but most vanish forever. But few — if any — concept cars have remained in our collective consciousness like the 1995 Ford GT90.
Read MoreThe Dino 308 GT was never really the most desirable car to come out of Maranello. Nice examples are currently trading in the $33,000 range. This car was totally crashed, is now "art," and just sold for $250,000. This makes no sense.
