Toyota plans to introduce a next-generation EV later this year at the Japan Mobility show, formerly known as the Tokyo Motor Show. As one of the world’s biggest automakers, Toyota’s hard start on the road to EVs is difficult to overlook. But Toyota’s new CEO, Koji Sato, says it’s planning to catch up to rivals with a…

The rising popularity of Formula 1 in the United States has garnered an unprecedented amount of interest in all forms of motorsport — but if you’ve made the transition from Netflix’s Drive to Survive to live racing and are hunting for more, it can be a little intimidating to hop into a new series. So, if you’ve been…

Navigating the minefield that is car shopping shouldn’t be as difficult as it is for most buyers. Some dealers make it easy, while others make it way more challenging than it needs to be. One of the most frustrating aspects is when buyers see a car for sale online, only to find out the posted price doesn’t include…

Polestar is reportedly slashing its 2023 volume forecast by as much as 25 percent, and it has announced the delay of its high-volume electric crossover: the Polestar 3, according to Automotive News. The culprit? Software development issues that have plagued Volvo’s new electric platform that will serve as the…

Maserati may have the cache of an Italian luxury brand, and lots of people might be surprised to find they can get one for under $70,000 — but Ferrari it is not. Maserati’s demigod half-cousin that it sometimes borrows engines from can do whatever it pleases. Ferrari’s clients are begging it to never stop making V12s,…

Flying with a commercial airline as a non-disabled person is already a frustrating experience. Most American carriers have a bad track record of getting luggage to its proper destination with their passengers. I can’t imagine entrusting any air carrier to transport the device needed for my mobility safely. Earlier…

A Norfolk Southern train derail in New Castle, Pennsylvania, late Wednesday night just 20 miles from the site of February’s East Palestine, Ohio, disaster.

It’s been well over a decade since the current SUV came out, but Lexus seems like it’s finally ready to unveil the all-new, third-generation 2024 GX to the world. Well, it almost is. The Japanese automaker has released two fairly zoomed-in photos of its luxury off roader, and that’s all we get for now. Hell, we don’t…

Nick lives in Seattle and has a 2014 Subaru Impreza hatchback. It’s a good commuter car, but he can’t help but wish it had a bit more punch under the hood. He is considering spending some decent coin on modding it but thinks he might be better off getting a more powerful hatch right from the factory. What car should…

Usually, when you say you’re having a shitty day, you don’t mean it literally. But that’s not the case for the drivers headed eastbound on Colorado’s Interstate 76 on Monday. Denver’s 9News reports that a truck that couldn’t hold it in anymore spilled raw sewage all over the highway, covering people’s cars and…

I know a lot of random vehicles have popped up on the roads over the years, but you don’t usually expect many of them to turn out to be road legal, like this jet ski motorcycle, or whatever it is. Still, as The Miami Herald reports, officers in Alabama determined it to be legal for the roads.

It is May once again. Since its inaugural running in 1911, the Indianapolis 500 has been one of the world’s most prestigious motorsports events. Despite the 500-mile race producing iconic moments throughout its history, the contest didn’t have particularly close finishes until the 1980s. Technical advances created…

A shooting took place today at Mercedes-Benz’s Sindelfingen factory at about 7:45 a.m. local time. The factory, located near Stuttgart, builds both the S-Class and the EQS sedans and employs about 35,000 people.

The wave of retro-modern bikes may have largely crested, with cafe racers giving way to a surge in popularity for adventure bikes, but retro styling still has a hold on the naked standard market. It’s an aesthetic that works so well on many modern bikes—Ducati Scramblers, Triumph Bonnevilles, Yamaha XSRs—but one that…

For $24,000, Harley-Davidson will sell you its Road King Special: A cruiser with a big twin-cylinder engine, subtle recessed gauges, a naked front end, and sleek saddlebags out back. But if you could get all that for just $18,695, without sacrificing that classic style, would you? What if it swapped the bar and shield…

Foxconn doesn’t have a care in the world, things are looking up for Nissan and Subaru in North America and Panasonic is taking its sweet time with the batteries Tesla ordered from it. All that and more in this edition of The Morning Shift for May 11, 2023.

You already know this, but we here at Jalopnik love a weird car – something that goes off the beaten path. Something that makes you pause for a second and say, “huh?” when you see it. Cars – to me at least – are all about character, and there are few better character traits than being weird. Is that my opinion? Maybe,…

Even if the Ford Ranger Raptor comes up short in how good it can blast through a trail, its twin-turbo V6 will still make best-in-class power figures. Ford knew that the V6 was the one they always wanted for the Ranger Raptor, even if some of us still pine for a V8.

Space has inspired GMC designers. No, they haven’t created some kind of next-generation propulsion (although that would be cool). Rather the Professional Grade brand is giving the Hummer EV a galactic feel with the 2024 Hummer EV Omega Edition.

At this point, it’s not exactly news that the oil and gas industry is bad for the planet and bad for people. Climate change is a serious issue that is already negatively impacting people’s lives, but it’s not just bomb cyclones and massive wildfires that we have to worry about. There’s also the pollution that we…

Some people advocate that it’s better to be an Alpha than a Beta, but as today’s Nice Price or No Dice Lancia proves, there’s no shame in the latter. Let’s find out what this rare Beta might reasonably be worth.

While most of the automotive industry works to embrace and develop electric vehicles, not every automaker is in a hurry to jump on that bandwagon. Take boutique supercar maker McLaren. While companies like Lamborghini have announced their death of their gas-powered V12s, McLaren has decided that the company will be…

We love cars, but some models are just unforgivable. For me, it’s the Hummer EV, which might as well come with an already faded and peeling bumper sticker reading “look upon my works ye mighty and despair.”

Nikola has had a real tough go of it over the past few years. Right now the supposed-to-be truck maker is losing over $150 million per quarter, and that’s a lot of money when you consider the fact it only has about $150 million in cash and receivables on hand, according to a report from Automotive News.
