2010 Peugeot 3008 Spotted Sans Camouflage [Peugeot 3008]
The newest entry in the Peugeot stable fits in the tall-wagon/short utility vehicle category, which seems to be enjoying decent popularity across Europe. When it debuts at Geneva in March, it's expected to come with a 1.6 liter turbo four and a 2.0 liter HDi four cylinder diesel. Those undoub...
1982 Honda Accord LX
MI - Jan 2, 2009 8449 for the LX, or $1050 more than the base Accord hatch. Clearly, the cachet of the LX badging wasn't enough to stop some vocab-challenged vandal from ...
1982 Honda Accord LX [Down On The Street]
We saw a '77 Accord in this series not long ago, and it was startling how many readers had never seen a first-gen Accord on the street. Now we're going to look at an example of the early 2nd-gen Accord, which was still quite small (2,076 pounds) and was the first Accord to be built in North Americ...

The first photo shoot of the new Mercedes-Benz CLS features "Brand Ambassador" Julia Stegner with the car as a tie-in for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, Berlin 2009. We think that sums up the car nicely. Copyright © 2008, Daimler AG Sources: Mercedes Benz, EMercedesBenz]

Murilee's Down On The Street Favorites For 2008 [Down On The Street]
1953 Citroën Traction-Avant Once I found the '75 Citroën GS 1220, I figured there'd be no way in hell I'd ever find a cooler street-parked Citroën on the island. Then… this car! Not only is it a Traction-Avant, it's a really solid street-driven example with a custom vintage hood ornament.
2009 VW Jetta TDI Reviewed By Budding 13-Year-Old Fan-Boy [Jalopnik Reviews]
Thanks for the review and great timing. Although Matt Hardigree reviewed the 2009 VW Jetta Sportwagen for us, and I did report on the 58.82 MPG record set by a Jetta TDI as it drove across the lower 48 states, Volkswagen’s not been nice enough to send us a Jetta TDI for review yet. Sounds like your...
Hummer Brand Apparently Changing Hands, Downsizing And Badge Engineering [Custom Cars]
This baby was spotted during our holiday travels somewhere in northern Indiana, so we're hoping the owner of this bad boy is actually a factory worker (or was) at the Hummer plant. If not there's something not quite right with this person.

2009 Kia Soul Pricing Leaks, Starts At $13,995 [2009 Kia Soul]
The (+) is apparently intended to be read as the Soul Plus trim level and the (!) is supposedly the Soul Exclaim trim. We're also fairly sure Sport means the sportier trim. Just using "Sport" when the other trims get symbols just seems lazy. We would have gone with the interrobang. All but the bas...

V10-Powered BMW Z4: The Non-Hairdresser Version [Custom Cars]
OK, we lie, it was an M Roadster at one point, but the owner wasn’t content with the paltry 343 HP inline six it was packaged with from the factory. No, they needed more -– much more. The six was ripped out and replaced by what some call a technical marvel or possibly just the 2005 Engine of the Year...

Donkervoort D8 GT4 Starts Production, Takes Light Weight To The Extreme [Geneva Motor Show]
First shown at the 2007 Geneva Motor Show, the Donkervoort D8 GT4 follows the Dutch company's batshit-insane engineering philosophy which battles against every bit of weight. The result is a 650 kg masterpiece of carbon fiber and kevlar powered by a 270 HP version of the Audi 1.8T four cyli...

There's some good news in the wings as ALMS says that GT2 will be joined by another manufacturer in the near future, in addition to the return of Corvette and the debut of BMW. What could be joining the Porsches and Ferraris? Perhaps the Lexus LF-A? We'll just have to wait and see.

Top Gear Pits BMW M3 Vs. Lexus IS-F, We Translate Stig's Morse Code
If you had a chance to see last night's episode of Top Gear you'd have seen the four-door BMW M3 take to the track against the Lexus IS-F. You'd also see Stig take the IS-F for a power lap, again while listening to the sounds of Morse code. The inability to understand what Stiggie was saying / hear...

Opinion: 2009 Pontiac G8 GXP, First Drive
If I were to tell you GM is the new BMW you’d probably laugh at me. But driving the 2009 Pontiac G8 GXP just a couple of months after the 2009 Cadillac CTS-V and Corvette ZR1, that’s exactly what I’m thinking. Equipped with a 6.3-liter, LS3 V8 making 415 HP and 415 lb-ft of torque, the G8 GXP isn’t ju...

Lexus IS-F, Part 3 [Jalopnik Reviews]
Acceleration: ***** As it is, 371 pound-feet of torque makes this puppy fly. When the transmission is in manual mode, you are controlling the shifts; the torque converter only saps power in first gear. Once you click into second, the transmission connects directly to the wheels. Lexus quot...

Jalopnik Reviews: 2006 Audi A6 4.2 Quattro, Part 2
Exterior Design: ***** Consider the competition: Mercedes-Benz E-Class (too old), BMW 5-Series (too ugly), and Lexus GS (too boring). It's not hard for the A6 to be the best looking car in its segment, but it goes a step further and is just plain good looking. Not an easy feat for a large sedan.
