Really excellent spec on this Chiron that was originally owned by Post Malone. The towels on the seats cracked me up

The 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS is really, really, really good. Most of its goodness boils down to that fascinating new T-Hybrid powertrain, which doesn't feel turbocharged (the T part) or really like a hybrid at all. It's a true joy to drive. My first drive review: jalopnik.com/2025-porsche...

The new Bugatti Tourbillon is absolutely spectacular. I usually hate when cars are described as being "timeless," but this is an exception. You can get all the details and read my full thoughts here: jalopnik.com/bugatti-tour...

Last summer I got to interview Bugatti's lead bespoke designer about the Chiron Golden Era, the most breathtaking piece of automotive art I've ever seen, and learned how his team created 45 hand-drawn pencil sketches directly on the car's bodywork jalopnik.com/bugatti-s-le...

you ever think of a story idea, and then take almost exactly two full years to actually write it? in my defense, a coming out blog is something you really want to get right

If you told 10-year-old me that I would own a first-gen Mercedes CLS one day, especially a one-owner car in a spec like this, it would blow my fuckin mind. I drove it down from NorCal on Sunday and have been on cloud nine ever since. It’s undoubtedly the most influential design of the 21st century

This is not the sort of Bugatti I expected to see in Malibu today

As good as the new Provence color (left) looks on the updated Porsche Taycan, Frozen Berry (right) is still the best @porscheusa.bsky.social

After fighting him for seven years, Tesla has finally settled with Owen Diaz over his allegations that the electric automaker has a racist workplace culture. Take a moment to read his lawyer's statement. www.cnbc.com/2024/03/15/t...

I’m so glad that I’m driving the new Mercedes E-Class this weekend so I can watch TikTok in the car before our dumbass government bans it

Sadly it seems like the new Bugatti will be mid-engined, but there’s still hope

I always love seeing a daily driven Bugatti. This guy gets bonus points for always just parking on the street at a meter

It’s always a good day when I see a CLK DTM. The carbon fiber being visible through the paint never gets old.

I've never been a Land Cruiser guy, and by extension the LX and GX have never really done it for me either. But driving the 2024 Lexus GX 550 turned me into a believer — I really love this thing. You can read my full first-drive review on Jalopnik now: jalopnik.com/the-2024-lex...
