Ten Awesome Feats Of Automotive Infrastructure
It's twenty stories tall, it houses more cars than you can shake a stick at, and it's smarter than most college students. Volkswagen's automated garage is used during new-car deliveries at the firm's Wolfsburg Autostadt, or "City of Cars." (Think of it as half Disney World, half industria...

What's The Worst Special Edition Car? [Question Of The Day]
In our minds, the worst is the King King Crew Member Edition VW Touareg. That's right, you're forking out money not to have a vehicle driven by a star of King Kong, nor a vehicle robust enough to tackle King Kong's island, but rather a vehicle designed to mimic what a crew member of the film King...

Why Do Republicans Hate American Automakers?

What Retired Car Should They Still Make? [Question Of The Day]
There are so many great cars we've let pass into oblivion, put out to pasture only to be replaced by cars we like even less than the original.

There's Nothing Wrong With A 1965 Ford Cortina That A Honda S2000 Engine Can't Fix! [Engine Swap]
When he first obtained the Cortina, it was powered by a semi-hot Fiat Twin Cam engine. After the punishment of quite a few rallies, the ol' Fiat gave up. What next?

The Five Best Custom Green Cars [I Feel Gassy]
The '65 Impala Super Sport is an interesting case of modern engine meets awesome ride. Unbelievably, car was built by MTV's Pimp My Ride and got a Chevy Durmax diesel tuned run on biodiesel and snorting out 800 HP and 1200 lb-ft of torque. It'll go 0-60 in 3.5 seconds and gets double the fuel econ...

Corvair-Powered Fiberfab Valkyrie GT-15 Prepares To Take Leave Of This World [Down On The Junkyard]
Well, that sounded like a member of the Fiberfab family to me, and I figured the "Porsche engine" would turn out to be a VW Type I with funky carburetors and/or strange-o cooling ducts. Nope! That's a Corvair engine underneath that battered fiberglass body.

Joining the NMS to reach that sales goal will be a new version of the Ford Fiesta-rivaling VW Polo, likely equipped with a choice of 1.2 and 1.4-liter supercharged and turbocharged TSI engines. Those engines are sort of a lower-cost, lower-weight alternative to hybrid powertrains, offeri...
1970 Subaru 360 For a Diminutive $6,000! [Nice Price Or Crack Pipe]
The 360 - which denoted its tax-limited engine displacement - debuted both as a model and as the vanguard of the Subaru brand in 1958. Seemingly taking a page from the book How I Did It by Ferdinand Porsche, and then cutting the fat, the 360 is powered by an aircooled, rear-mounted engine. Addi...

Ferdinand Porsche - Genesis Of Genius by Karl Ludvigsen [Jalopnik Book Reviews]
See, if you're serious about Porsches- and what Porsche zealot isn't?- you want a book about Ferdinand Porsche, the father of the brand, to pack some heft! You'll need a level of detail that's so overwhelmingly, in fact alarmingly, obsessive that you'll learn something new on every page.

1981 Volkswagen Rabbit LS Diesel [Down On The Street]
For the 1,750-pound '81 Rabbit Diesel, Volkswagen felt that 48 horsepower was plenty; in fact, the Rabbit Diesel had a better power-to-weight ratio than the 1,724-pound/53-horsepower '69 Beetle, and diesel torque should have made it feel even quicker. That was not the case, however; I...

2009 Volkswagen Routan SE: First Drive [Jalopnik Reviews]
The Routan is advertised as "the only minivan in America with German engineering." But the badge does not make the car, and the VW badge on the front of what is actually a Chrysler Town & Country doesn't make it a Volkswagen. Far from it.

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.

Then there’s the looks. While not as striking as the Audi A4 or A5, the CC is a hell of a lot less awkward than the CLS or any current BMW.
