Editor-in-Chief at Jalopnik. 1984 BMW 733i 5-Speed.
I don’t think I’m alone in my love of the Porsche Mission E concept. Besides the impressive promised specs—670 horsepower, all-wheel drive with torque vectoring, zero to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds and an 80 percent charge in just 15 minutes—Porsche’s first foray into production electric cars just looked absolutely…
It was the Cadillac CTS sedan that brought Cadillac into its modern era, past the Broughams and Fleetwoods your grandparents drove and into BMW-fighting high performance. In V form especially it brought a ton of horsepower to the table with wonderful results, but at the end, sales were dreadfully slow—leaving Cadillac…
As someone who’s been working at this glorious website for the better part of this decade now, I don’t often run into total surprises anymore—especially overpowered American ones from the Radwood era. You can be forgiven for not knowing what the Pontiac Tojan is. I didn’t either, until this Carfection video dropped…
Traffic sucks, so why not start your morning off with some music? You provide the toast and we’ll provide the jams.
No Falcon Doors. No crazy gimmicks like Bioweapon Defense Mode. No pickup truck. No zany new features to spread to other cars. Tonight’s reveal of the Tesla Model Y crossover was, compared to many of the automaker’s previous dazzling Apple-like presentations, pretty boring. It felt normal—as does the car.
Much of Car Internet is glued to Tesla’s ongoing (and late-starting) livestream announcement of the Model Y crossover tonight. But before that even started, Ford sent off this cryptic tweet. What the hell?
We’ve heard the mid-engine C8 Chevrolet Corvette has been plagued with delays over development issues, particularly with the implementation of General Motors’ new global electrical system. We’re not sure if that’s what is to blame here, but what we do know is one of the camouflaged C8 mules had a rather embarrassing…
We’ve been talking about the first Audi TT a bit lately, but we’ve neglected to mention the glorious optional baseball-stitch interior primarily seen on the TT Roadster. And it was good. It was very good.
Ever seen the way little kids draw cars? All crazy aerodynamics, wild color schemes and gigantic engines shoved any old place? The world in general would do well to get back to that level of wild imagination. That’s what I love about this, the craziest Mitsubishi Delica van ever conceived, from artist Ian Galvin.…
One huge part of being a car enthusiast is always wanting to own things you don’t have. Another huge part is undertaking heroic mental gymnastics to justify owning those things, especially when deep down you know it’s a horrible idea. I just swatted one of my bosses away from owning an early 2000s Audi out of…
I can’t speak to where you live—some 12-14 million people read this website a month, and that is far too much information to process—but here in New York we’re having one of the nicer and warmer days we’ve had in recent memory. That should mean one thing: It’s time for the squad to mount up.
Around these parts we spend a considerable amount of internet ink railing on car dealers. They don’t make it difficult for us to do this—there is no end to tales of rude salespeople, shady deals, questionable math, insane markups, service nightmares and the occasional joyride. But the dealers and techs who are great…
With trade tariffs, expansion into China, the slow death of sedans and General Motors’ closure plans, automotive production seems to be in the news more now than it’s been since the Great Recession. Which plants builds what cars and where is a complicated subject now, and it’s harder than ever to determine what…
Hey, we haven’t had a chat with you fine people since November. It’s a slow Friday but your Jalopnik staff is in a good mood regardless. Why don’t we hang out?
General Motors’ Lordstown plant closure is more bad news for auto workers, BMW faces tariff headaches, Elon Musk’s newfound affinity for weed may soon bite him in the ass and more for The Morning Shift of Friday, March 8, 2019.
Our readership’s demand for Isuzu Piazza/Impulse content cannot be sated, so here is more—more to feed your hunger! Is it enough? Will it ever be enough? I don’t care, and I couldn’t stop even if I wanted to.
Hey, you know what isn’t terrible right now? Volvo. While every other automaker seems content to drown us in crossovers without even making most of them fun or interesting, the last Swedes standing at least remain also committed to wagons for those of us who still want them—even if they’re sometimes special order-only…
Car internet worked itself into a frenzy on Monday upon learning that beginning next year, Volvo will electronically limit the top speed of its cars to 112 mph (or 180 kph). The nerve!, the car people screamed. The sheer gall! Never mind that outside of a German Autobahn, a car’s top speed is largely irrelevant to…
