A consumer authority in Denmark has reported BMW, the German car manufacturer, to the police, according to Reuters, for a marketing campaign in which BMW called itself “the world’s most sustainable car producer,” which the consumer authority says is misleading, probably because BMW may not be the world’s most…

The Subaru Impreza has to be one of the most commonly tuned cars of the last few decades. If you’re reading this, I’d bet you personally know someone who has an Impreza 2.5RS, WRX or WRX STI making 400 to 800HP. You’ve probably driven one, or been in one, or at least seen one on the freeway belching black exhaust.

VinFast is going through it right now. Data shows that the Vietnamese electric vehicle maker has been able to shift just 128 of its ill-received EV crossovers in the first five months it has been on sale in the U.S. Still, according to Bloomberg, the company is planning to being construction of its own factory in …

I’ve just moved into a new place that’s on the fifth floor of a pretty old building. Where my last apartment came with a garbage chute, this one doesn’t and instead requires a trip down four flights and back up every time I take the trash out. It’s a faff. But while my new leg workout might grate from time to time,…

While used car prices are still high, inventories are improving. Unfortunately, the last few years of extreme weather means thousands more flood damaged cars hit the market every year. With the recent flooding in New England, Consumer Reports says buyers should be prepared to be on the lookout for flood damaged…

Alfa Romeo has already said that the next-generation Giulia sport sedan will be electric and go on sale in 2025. It will also make between 350 hp and 1,000 hp depending on the trim level. So while we don’t know how it will drive, we can at least expect the upcoming electric Giulia to be quick in a straight line. But…

The things we regard as ubiquitous and timeless today once upon a time very much weren’t. Take the familiar Porsche crest, for instance. Sure, it’s undergone a slight freshening up as of late, but at its core it’s never really changed conceptually: a gold shield, with the rearing horse of Stuttgart’s city seal…

Apparently, today is Weird Crash Day here at Jalopnik. First, there was the truck in Connecticut that spilled so much “human waste” on the highway that 10 vehicles crashed. Now we have a motor home in California that decided stop-and-go traffic wasn’t going to slow him down. Will we find another weird crash story in a…

College football is undoubtedly an aggressively American sport, but that doesn’t mean its reach isn’t global. Apparently, even the folks at Ferrari’s factory in Maranello are fans… of goddamn Alabama. It’s heartbreaking to find out, but I suppose it does make sense. If you know anything about CFB and racing, then you…

A heat wave is striking several regions around the world, including a swath of the United States from Texas to Southern California. Phoenix, Arizona, has had 19 straight days with a daily high temperature of over 110 degrees. The heat has been just as unrelenting 250 miles northwest in Las Vegas, Nevada. Yesterday,…

From multi-million dollar transfer fees to sky-high salaries for sports stars, the business of sport is substantial across the world, and it’s no different with what’s at stake in Formula 1. Every year, many millions are on the line.

Credit where it’s due, Ubisoft’s Ivory Tower never let off the gas with The Crew 2, a game that’s been out for five years at this point. Regular quality-of-life updates, new cars and story-based events have dropped consistently since the title’s 2018 release, and will continue to all the way up until The Crew Motorfest…

The Tesla Model Y has taken the Dacia Sandero’s spot at the top of European sales charts. According to Automotive News Europe, it’s the first time a battery-electric vehicle has topped the sales chart halfway through the year. Besides the Sandero, the Model Y also beat out vehicles like the Vauxhall Corsa and …

Back in May, we reported that a truck spilled sewage all over a Colorado highway, shutting down traffic and ruining a lot of people’s days. At the time, that felt like it was probably as bad as it was going to get when it came to poop spills this year. But no, we will not escape that easily. Connecticut decided to up…

Good morning! It’s Wednesday, July 19, 2023 and this is The Morning Shift, your daily roundup of the top automotive headlines from around the world, in one place. Here are the important stories you need to know.

By now you’ve probably seen images of the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe, the latest and perhaps most strongly-worded reminder to date that Hyundai’s design department has long since run out of fucks. Try to recall to memory every Santa Fe before this. As of 24 hours ago, you can’t anymore. Nobody can; you have to go to…

On the whole, it’s usually a good thing when historic nameplates get revived on new cars. You just have to look at the new Bronco from Ford, the reborn Toyota Supra, and the revived Challenger that’s been with us since 2008, if you need proof. But one time it doesn’t work is when a name badge is revived on a car that…

The Toyota RAV4 brings a lot to the table, offering practicality, reliability and good fuel economy in a package that also looks tougher than it needs to. So it’s no surprise that demand is still through the roof for them. But if you need a new SUV quickly and don’t want to pay an insane markup, the RAV4 is probably…

While the car market has mostly started to cool off, there’s still some craziness going on. Some models are still being marked up, and big-time flippers still walk among us. And while their influence isn’t as felt on the market as it was before, it’s sort of satisfying to sit back and see people with more money than…

There aren’t many places where you can compare the racing performance of a futuristic electric hypercar with vintage F1 tech. Thankfully, if you do want to make such comparisons, the Goodwood Festival of Speed rolls ‘round every year to answer such questions.

If you’re of a particular type of customer who needs the ultimate in Japanese luxury and off-road capability, you’re essentially stuck with just one option: the Lexus LX. Not only is it the only option for a buyer in the U.S. of the kind of vehicle I just described, it’s also the only way to get a Land Cruiser in the…

The teenage traveler caught “skiplagging” last week has been banned by American Airlines for the next three years. So if you’re planning to buy a plane ticket somewhere other than your final destination, just to get off at the layover airport, you may want to think twice.

Earlier this week, I asked readers about their worst car projects. It’s fair to say that many of you have cars you wish you could forget, but a half-built vehicle in the garage haunts you. For some, a small fix somehow escalated into a repair you were unprepared for. Others bit off more than they could chew. Without…

While nowhere near as pretty as the contemporary Esprit, today’s Nice Price or No Dice Elite still carries the same 907 engine and taut, sports car handling. Let’s see if we all can handle this well-preserved coupe’s price.
