Car Wars is where we pit some of today's hottest cars against each other and then, in a commenting fight to the death, decide which one we'd buy. Today we have two entry-level hotted up German sedans for about the same price.
Read MoreCars are huge now, so the market for smaller and smaller cars has exploded in recent years. But more and more people with checkbooks want nice stuff in these teeny cars, so that brought us to the flood of small premium cars. Now that philosophy is spreading to yachts with this Italian creation, the Jet Capsule.
Read MoreHannukah came a day early this year as Volvo just told us, for serious, that the hopped up Volvo V60 Polestar is definitely coming to America. Volvo wagon. Bright blue. 350 horsepower. Sub 5.0-second 0-60 mph time. I think I just blue myself!
Read MoreThe 2014 Mazda6 is the midsize messiah we've been waiting for, a banisher of beige and a bringer of fun to a segment that desperately needs some. When I had a go, I said the best version to buy was the Touring with the manual trans. Problem is, that model didn't exist yet. But who needs facts to form an opinion?
Read MoreIt's been out for a while now and it's safe to say the majority of people think the Lincoln MKZ is a good-looking car, big grille and all. But the motor company's next new car, the Lincoln MKC, looks even better. Some of it has to do with the clamshell tailgate. Who doesn't like a good clamshell tailgate?
Read MoreYou'll have to take the good with the bad here. The good is that Nissan improved upon the Juke Nismo and gave us the Juke Nismo RS. But the one configuration you'll want — a manual with all-wheel-drive — isn't available.
Read MoreThis is it folks. 350 units of this including the coupe and the roadster, and the SLS AMG is gone. With it, say goodbye to the 6.2 V8 too.
Read MoreSometimes the same cars that sell to old people in the U.S. and Europe sell to a very different crowd in China. Buick is one of the best examples, earning a decent foothold among up-and-coming Chinese consumers while it was saddled with a senior citizen image here. Now, it's Maserati's turn to find a new audience.
Read MoreWhen we had to sum up the V8-powered S 63 AMG, we famously went 'GHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!' So what could I possibly say about the S 65 AMG, the V12 version with 630 horsepower and 738 pound feet of torque? It's the most luxurious missile you've ever seen.
Read MoreWhen I was growing up car headlights were pretty boring. They were blocky ovals or rectangles, all made out of the same chunky clear plastic. Now car designers get to play with some of the weirdest headlight shapes since the 1960s, and the new Lexus RC shows that perfectly.
Read MoreOne of the things I like best about working at Jalopnik (other than Chili-Chuggin' Tuesdays) is that we'll happily cover almost any form of transportation. Cars, planes, trains, hovercraft, submarines, spaceships, whatever. Which is why I was able to test out the pre-production Acton M Mobility Scooter.
Read MoreMaybe it’s some sort of residual Puritan upbringing, but after getting the chance to hoon $100,000 and $200,000 dollar cars around tracks, I felt like I needed to explore the other end of the market. The low end. I’m going to review the cheapest cars I can get my hands on, starting with the new-to-us Mitsubishi Mirage.
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 MoreTorque, not horsepower, equals drivability. Accessible torque is what people need in everyday driving, not to rev the nuts off a car to make 200 horsepower. That's why diesel is brilliant. But years of negative stereotypes have painted a scarlet letter A all over diesel engines. It shouldn't.
Read MoreIf racing games have served any didactic purpose, that purpose has been to teach Americans about obscure variations of Japanese wagons (ahem Nissan STAGEA 260RS AutechVersion). Forza 5 eschews any claim to breadth in exchange for stunning detail and a desire to teach all you monkeys how to not drive like assholes.
Read MoreThe Viper is, let's face it, a cartoon. Everything about it exaggerates reality — the hood is longer, the rear is stubbier, the curves are curvier, the engine is an insane 8.4L brute. If modern supercars were sandwiches, the Viper would be corned shark on rye topped with live scorpions. It's bonkers. And that's why I like it.
Read MoreThe Ferrari 458 Italia is one of the finest exotic sports cars on sale today. It's one of those cars that is hard to make better. But with the creatively named 458 Speciale, Ferrari is trying its damndest to make one of the best even better. How'd they do?
Read MoreAudi used to make a small sedan. That small sedan was called the A4. Yes, Audi still makes the A4, but it has now ballooned in size. Even though the 2015 S3 sedan is basically the same size as that original A4, it has grown up in every conceivable way. Especially under the hood.
Read MoreA tight budget shouldn't mean you have to spend your time in something boring. There's a whole world out there when it comes to enthusiast cars in need of saving, and these ten models are well worth your attention.
Read More"Find out how much you can eat on one tank of fuel," they said. "It will be fun," they said. If the car you're given to do this is an A7 TDI, it has a huge fuel tank and gets better miles per gallon than a Japanese econosedan you should prepare for a world of hurt.
Read MoreI genuinely like utility vehicles. I like their honesty, form-follows-functionitude, and I like it when they prove to be fun to drive despite everything. It's like when you learn a really serious theologian does a party trick lighting farts. The NV200 isn't quite that fun, but I enjoyed my time with this little useful van.

Read MoreThe Yugo has been called a punchline. The worst car in history. Even a whale. But one thing that was no joke at all was its price – just $3,990 when it went on sale in 1987. In 2013 dollars, that's only $8202.89. Holy crap that's cheap.
Read MorePorsche made a big mistake in the late 1990s with the 996. Let's ignore the mechanical woes of Porsche's experimentations with watercooling the 911 for a second and just look at 'em. The front of 'em. Melty. Egg. Headlamps. THE HORROR.
Read MoreThe beautiful Saab 9-5 SportCombi never made it to dealerships, meaning that the few wagons built and auctioned off were non-road legal pre-production models. That didn’t stop a Saab fan from 9-5sc2012 from figuring out how to get his dream car on the road.
Read MoreBlack is a tricky color for a car. Done wrong it makes a car look cheap. Done right it makes them look sleeker, more elegant and more aggressive all at the same time. These ten cars wear the darkness spectacularly.
Read MoreHappy Thanksgiving! I'm deeply thankful for many, many things in my life — my wife, my son, my job, my magnetic pancreas, and, of course, thankful that Turkey once built some really weird cars. Because today, on the day we devour turkeys by the truckload, I can make this tenuous connection to the country of Turkey.
Read MoreHow quickly people forget. New York City leaders have been pretty vocal about the Nissan NV200T being the "Taxi of Tomorrow" when, in fact, it isn't much more different in concept than this fuzzy concept from Italdesign and Alfa Romeo. The Taxi of Tomorrow really dates back to the Ford Administration.
Read MoreAmerica is finally getting a fast wagon. Let's hope more will follow. If car makers need inspiration, look no further, as these are the ten fastest right here.
Read MoreThe oh-my-god-that's-gorgeous Volvo V60 Polestar we saw today, that's going to be a real thing next year, continues the tradition of Volvo wagons with an extra dab of power. With 0-60 in 4.9 seconds and a top speed limited to 155 mph, it's damn quick. But what are other faster, quicker wagons?

Read MoreWood, for some reason, means luxury. It's in more places than your car, like on your kitchen cabinets, your recliner, your rubbery phone cases. Rarely is it real wood, but there's something about the look that resonates with people when thinking about premiumness.
Read MoreThe Youabaian Puma debuted earlier this week at the Los Angeles Auto Show, and I think it's great. It's hilarious, it's loud, and its logo is possibly a thong covering the globe. And that's what's great about all vanity cars – they are always unique.
Read MoreLe Mans is the most grueling track test for both drivers and cars of any race on the planet. 24 hours long, much of it spent over 200 MPH, and all of it in France. So surely a car named "Le Mans" will reflect those qualities, right? Enter this lilliputian monstrosity, the 1988 Pontiac LeMans.
Read MoreYou would not be blamed for assuming the Lincoln Continental used by President Kennedy on that horrible day 50 years ago was immediately retired. You would, however, be wrong. The Lincoln that saw the assassination of one leader and the near death of another remained in service. Why?

Read MoreI love cars that have a very specific audience in mind. And the Youabian Puma certainly has that: wealthy men who are sexually aroused by the idea of crawling inside a whale carcass on a truck trailer. For those of you who fit that description, this is a fantastic time to be alive.
Read MoreIt takes balls to put a concept car into production without toning it down too much. While it's good for the brand, sales don't always follow the enthusiasm. Turns out Isuzu had the biggest.

Specifically, which cars have given you hell when all hath frozen over.
Read MoreThe facts are in and the Alfa Romeo 4C is a breathtaking car. It's beautiful, it's fast, it's Italian and it's coming to the U.S. But it's still going to be a niche car. What happens when/if more mainstream Alfas show up after a two decade absence? Who's going to buy them?
Read MoreI'm going to go out on a limb here and say that I was never a huge fan of the Audi R8's in the aesthetics department. It was a mid-engined V8 beast with a hushed exhaust note, slits instead of eyes, and a big Egyptian stele for a nose. But in all black, I think I finally get it. It's menacing.
Read MoreThere are many ways that teams 'cheat' in F1 in order to get ahead. Like ordering your driver into a wall, or blocking a corner "by accident." The best 'cheats' don't break the rules, but bend them using technological loopholes. These were the ten most brilliant efforts.

Read MoreOn the periodic table of elements, there's a bunch of elements, usually named after famous scientists, that are known as synthetic elements. These are made by determined scientists with exciting-sounding machines called cylotrons or atom-smashers. And it seems a supercharged VW Beetle had a hand in the creation of one of them.

Read MoreOne of the great things about the internet is that if you can take a pair of mechanical arms and somehow connect them to a 18" high pile of mulch, that pile can type opinion articles for a website.

Read MoreThere are many exciting cars on the market today. If you somehow bought one of these ten horribly bland transportation appliances, get your head checked.

Read MoreThe great French superluxury cars of the 1930s were killed by the Great Depression and World War II, but what would a Delage, Delahaye, or Talbot-Lago look like if those companies had survived into the '80s? Maybe the 1988 Peugeot Oxia concept is close.

Read MoreAmerican cars are normally known for massive production numbers. Ransom Eli Olds brought the assembly line to car production, and Henry Ford put pretty much everybody into a Model T. Which is why I love when an American manufacturer goes against the grain, and makes cars for the select few.
Read MoreSpecial effects nowadays are pretty wild. Whole planets can be created with fantastical creatures and blue people, but only the truly crazy among us believe that it's so real it's real. And then there was the 1980s.
Read MoreThe manual may be on the way out, but while we have it we're in a bit of a golden age of transmissions.

But what's the weirdest gearbox ever made?

Read MoreThere's been a lot of furniture rearranging over at the Lincoln Motor Company lately, but new product such as the MKZ is trickling out. On the face of it, newer models like the MKC seem like they're getting better and less Ford-ish, too. The worst aspect of Lincoln's lineup? The names. The MK-whatevers are forgettable. That might change, just not for U.S.-bound cars.
