Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.

After refusing to confirm its previous confirmation that a new electric VW microbus would go into production, Volkswagen has re-confirmed that the microbus will indeed be going into production in 2022. Annoyances aside, that’s really exciting!

After years of sitting in the shallow end of BMW’s lineup as a sort-of also-ran, the German roadster is back with the new Z4, and it’s the most promising sign of life out of BMW since the introduction of the 2 Series.

A man who fled a car crash, taking his pitbull with him, tried to steal another car from the parking lot of a store before a security guard attempted to stop him. Then he stole the security guard’s car and crashed into a pole.

Having grown up hearing my family talk about what it was like seeing television evolve into what it is today, it must be even more surprising for a 97-year-old to witness the evolution of the car into “the future” we now know as the Tesla Model S.

Mercedes-Maybach unveiled a cabriolet version of its Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 concept from last year, all there is to say about it really is that it looks like money. A lot of money.

An absolutely pristine and particularly special 1995 silver McLaren F1 just found its second owner at the Bonham’s Pebble Beach auction for an astronomical asking price, which is fitting because us mere Earthlings are not worthy.

Welcome to the Jalopnik Weekend Motorsports Roundup, where we let you know what’s going on in the world of racing, where you can see it, and where you can talk about it all in one convenient place. Where else would you want to spend your weekend?

There were funny comments today, including one about pennies and one about The Ball Joint, but today’s win goes to an admittedly easy, but nonetheless funny one about people who crash.

We all like our jobs to be straightforward. Sometimes we even get into a routine, or fall on our own reliance on technology. Maybe that’s not always for the best.

Perfect two car garage?

There’s already a small but burgeoning resistance against Mercedes-Benz (and other automakers) filling lineups with ugly melted sloping “coupe” crossovers that don’t make any damn sense. Today there is victory, for Mercedes has ruled out any form of convertible crossover, at least for now.

Under normal circumstances, a Mazda RX-7 Evo Group B Works car would be absolutely incredible to drive or own. One goes up for sale next month, except it has a unique twist—it’s never once been driven or raced.

In good news that has kept getting better and better, the Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato Coupe and Volante convertible will now also be joined by a Speedster and Shooting Brake. If you strike gold, don’t stop mining.

The 550 Maranello was Ferrari’s answer to the insanity that was the Diablo over at Lamborghini. Where the Diablo zigged, Ferrari zagged, developing a front-engine, clean looking sports car with a beautiful new V12. So what the hell happened to it?

Audi really knocked it out of the park with the first Audi R8 over ten years ago, and I still don’t think the new design captures what the first one accomplished. Now it can zoom onto your desktop should you rr-eight this picture high enough.

As if our world wasn’t as messed up as we already know it to be, NYC’s Transport Workers Union is claiming that the MTA stores dead bodies cleaned up off of subway tracks in worker break rooms. You thought you had it bad when somebody heated up their fish?

Sometimes I just have to wonder how somebody could let a particular car go, and then I remember that I’ve never seen more than four figures on a check written to my name. But now the only remaining Ford GT40 Roadster is for sale, and I’m not sure anything short of a fortune would settle it this time.

Porsche has settled a class action lawsuit out of court from a bunch of owners claiming they had to go and buy polarized sunglasses because the dashboard trim in their car was blinding in sunlight. Owners with the affected cars can get up to $175 in compensation. This is all hilariously insane.

Top Gear’s Chris Harris stepped out of a loaner Porsche 911 R to kindly review the new 911 GT3 for us, so when he claims that the GT3 is one of the best cars on sale today, we’re just going to have to believe him.
