Ford delays next-gen EVs, mulls hybrid option on full lineup
What’s The Stereotypical Old Person’s New Car?
When I was a kid, the stereotypical cars that old people drove included the exact pearlescent white 1998 Cadillac DeVille that my grandmother owned, any Buick sedan, Lincoln Town Cars, Ford Crown Victorias, and Toyota Avalons — mostly large, comfortable sedans. Now though, in a world where Cadillac sedans have gone…

Good morning! It’s Thursday, April 4, 2024, 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.
NASA Space Junk Tears Through Florida Home
Have you ever been sitting in your home, minding your own business when suddenly a two-pound hunk of junk from the heavens smashed through the ceiling? No? Me neither. But that’s exactly what happened to Florida native Alejandro Otero last month.
2025 Range Rover Sport adds blacked-out Stealth Pack
The 2025 Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen's New Monoblock Wheels Are Fantastic
Ever since Mercedes-Benz brought back the monoblock wheel design with the 2018 Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe, my life has steadily improved. The GT’s wheel was so outlandish and ostentatious yet tongue in cheek, and just retro enough. Then came the GLS63 AMG in 2021, which got a 23-inch version of the monoblocks, and th…
16-Year-Old R35 Nissan GT-R Is Still, Somehow, Selling At Least Once Per Day
Back in 2008, the Nissan GT-R was a paradigm shift for supercars. Here was a Nissan — an attainable Nissan — that made Ferraris and Porsches look like chumps. Now, 16 years later, the GT-R is far pricier and mildly faster in a world that’s caught up to its speed and tech. Yet, perhaps due to that early reputation, it…
These Cars Have Had The Biggest Sales Increases In 2024 So Far
When quarterly sales figures come out, it’s common to focus on the cars that sold the most in the previous three months. That’s certainly interesting on some level, but at the same time, most of the top sellers are pretty consistent. Presumably, the Ford F-Series and Chevrolet Silverado will take the top two spots,…
Mercedes EQS successor may have traditional sedan shape
The Dodge Super8 Hemi Concept Was An Early 2000s Retro Sedan I Thankfully Forgot All About
As we’ve seen recently, Chrysler has a history with making some decent looking, near-production-ready concept cars. Not all of them were hits, though. Some of Mopar’s concepts have become long forgotten, and for good reasons too. One of those concepts was the Dodge Super8 Hemi Concept from 2001.
The 2025 Volvo EX30 Is A Reminder That Volvo Is Good At Building Fun, Affordable Cars
You know Volvo: The safety company, the sustainability company, the company that makes gorgeous crossovers and wagons for whisking young urban professionals to their business meetings and Vermont ski trips. Driving the new EX30 through Swedish city streets, I thought I knew Volvo too — but I’d forgotten another side…
I Warned You About The Inflation Reduction Act, Bro. I Told You, Dog
As it turns out, lowering the price of an item makes that item sell better. This, in econ, means that item is “elastic” — and cars are certainly elastic. Based on Ford’s latest price drops on the Mustang Mach-E, EVs are no exception.
These Are The Cars Readers Would Drive For The Rest Of Their Lives
Ditch all of your cars and settle on just one? Like it’s just that easy? Come on, it would be so hard to reduce a car enthusiast’s fleet to just a single car. That’s ludicrous. Unless, maybe, it’s one of the following fifteen suggestions made by Jalopnik readers. Earlier this week I asked you all to provide me with the…
Sunday is the Deadline to Win this 2024 Corvette E-Ray Convertible
At $6,900, Does This 2008 Infiniti M45x Give You Something To Think About?
It’s a shame so few people give Infiniti the time of day, since cars like today’s Nice Price or No Dice M45x prove the company has some solid models in its lineup. Let’s decide whether its price warrants further attention.
