Daytime running lights have been mandatory safety equipment for decades in certain parts of the world, but not in the United States. In Canada and the European Union, DRLs were required long before LEDs became popular, and ushered in the era of DRL designs that automakers use to give their cars a visual identity. Many…

If there’s one trend that seems to be catching on with automakers that I’m super stoked about, it’s the whole “off-road everything” thing that we’ve already seen embraced by Porsche with its 911 Dakar and Lamborghini with its Sterrato. Now, it seems like Ford could be getting in on the fun with a lifted, all-wheel…

If you drove up Interstate 5 in Oregon last week, you could have been showered in $100 bills. NPR reported that an Oregon man wanted to bless others with the gift of money. Other drivers eagerly stopped on the highway to grab as much money as possible. Though, his generosity wasn’t well received by the police or his…

The 2023 Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV was officially revealed today, making 649 hp and 700 lb-ft of torque. And to justify its “if you have to ask, you can’t afford it, pal” price, it also gets an incredibly opulent interior. Reclining executive seats come standard with little pillows for your comfort, and there’s even an…

Which cars will be eligible for the full $7,500 federal tax credit has been a bit of a complicated mystery for months, as the feds finalize their rules and the full effect of the Inflation Reduction Act is felt. On Monday, the Treasury Department released an updated list of models that will be eligible for the $7,500,…

Air travel can be a uniquely hellish experience in so many different ways, but one thing that can ease the burden of cranky passengers, hollering babies, and mind-numbing delays is a nice, well-designed airport. Here at Jalopnik, we’re building our very own dream airport with all of the countless features we simply…

When the entire world was swept up in the COVID-19 pandemic at the beginning of 2020, one of the hardest hit industries was air travel. As the demand for flying fizzled, airlines scrambled to put their no-longer-needed planes in storage. The Airbus A380 was no exception. At 239 feet long, 262 feet wide and 79 feet…

You’ve likely seen it on the highway — a car that’s tailgating, darting between lanes, passing in the shoulder. You, a (presumably) human person, understand what that means: An irritated driver is behind the wheel. As autonomous vehicle development continues, those cars will eventually need to learn how to respond to…

For some unknown reason, people in cities refuse to stay cooped up in their homes and insist on walking around outside even though everyone knows that outside is specifically reserved for cars. That means that while driving around like a normal person, you run the risk of getting pedestrian gunk all over the front of…

The Smart Roadster Coupé from the early 2000s was a nifty little car and did a good job at replicating Smart’s styling in a low-lung, sporty car. It was the automaker’s first proper coupé but was sadly only on sale for three years. Now, in its new all-electric guise, Smart is making a return to the coupé segment with…

We all love automobiles in motion. Track days, drift events, autocross — it’s always fun to see a car being used. Even a parking lot meet hits the same notes, as cars at least have to drive as far as a Starbucks to attend. We all appreciate when things are actually used for their purpose, rather than locked down in…

It’s been a dark few years for Lancia. The once-legendary Italian automaker has had to make do with small hatchbacks and rebadged Chrysler products for about a decade at this point. Right now, it only sells one car in one market: Italy. But the tides may be changing with the introduction of a new concept: the Pu+Ra…

Racing is a physically demanding sport, but on a handful of occasions, those physical demands far exceeded merely driving. In fact, quite a few Formula 1 drivers throughout the years have been so close to finishing a race when their cars died that they hopped out of their machines to push them across the line. Today,…

Porsche’s first-quarter 2023 results are in; suppliers for Stellantis, General Motors and Ford are dreading a potential United Auto Workers strike later this year; and Ineos’ wildly expensive off-roader will call Austria its home. All that and more in this edition of The Morning Shift for Monday, April 17, 2023.

There are some people in this world who seem impervious to the dangers of this world, who can throw themselves into any situation and appear to come out unscathed. They’re the kind of people I just assume to be immortal — and for me, Craig Breedlove was one of those people. His death earlier this month shouldn’t have…

Volkswagen brought a camouflaged ID.7 to this year’s Consumer Electronics Show where it talked up the ID.7's fancy intelligent air conditioning system, so we already had a decent idea of what it was going to look like. But now the German automaker’s latest electric sedan has been officially revealed. Meet the 2024…

Just last year, Buick shared its vision of the future with the very attractive Wildcat concept, complete with sleek lines and attractive angles not typically associated with the brand. It wasn’t long before the automaker unveiled the first of its vehicles to carry Wildcat’s design language: The Envista, which was…

With 580 horsepower on tap, a six-speed manual, and a bad attitude, today’s Nice Price or No Dice Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 should be a ball to drive. It’s a shame then that it’s only been driven a little over 3,600 miles. Let’s see if its price drives a hard bargain.

It’s a shame that HBO’s Succession isn’t getting another season. Poor Logan Roy, who is often whisked into and out of dramatic situations in the back of a Maybach sedan, will miss out on sampling Mercedes’ latest uber-luxe ride. For the first time, this one’s electric. It’s the Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 SUV, the first…

The BMW i7 is not only one of the coolest luxury EVs on sale today, but it’s got one of the best interiors in the business, and now, according to an announcement made by BMW on Monday, it’s earned itself some performance chops, too, with the introduction of the 2024 BMW i7 M70 xDrive.

You all really seem to love cute cars, and I am starting to understand why. There is a certain joy that can come from a little car with a smiley face complete with big headlights (the eyes). You just wanna put it in your pocket and walk away.
