Screenshot: Mercedes-Benz 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 … Read more
Photo: Jeep If there’s one thing we can all agree about when it comes to Stellantis’ American brands — specifically Dodge and Jeep — it’s that Mopar’s design teams really know how to come up with a good color. It’s been common practice for style-forward cars like the Challenger, Charger and Wrangler to get one-year-only … Read more
While poking around on Instagram I found a picture of what looked like a drab green military-spec Mercedes-Benz G-Class that had been recently delivered to the forces fighting on the front lines of Ukraine. The @future_Ukraine account labeled the vehicle in question not as the much-beloved Mercedes Geländewagen, instead it was called out as a … Read more
2015 Nissan XterraImage: Nissan The rugged, off-road segment is exploding; every truck or crossover now seems to have some sort of either legit off-road trim, or at least one appearance package inspired by ruggedness. From Chevy’s Activ trims to Ford’s Raptors and Toyota’s TRD-Off and upcoming Trailhunter trims, it’s a booming business. Not everyone has … Read more

Photo: Andy Kalmowitz / Jalopnik The 2024 Nissan Frontier Hardbody Edition is a really solid little truck. It’s not a world beater when it comes to performance or capability, but it is one thing that is super important: honest. The normal Frontier an honest truck, and the Hardbody Edition just elevates that theory. It’s just … Read more
2020 was a weird time. Not because of Covid-19 or the election or anything that actually mattered. No, it was weird because Jeep decided the best thing to do was shove a 6.4-liter Hemi V8 under the hood of a Wrangler and put it on sale. I have thanked the automaker every day for making … Read more
Back in November, Stellantis recalled over 32,000 Jeep Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrids for a risk of fire, even going so far as to tell owners not to park near flammable structures until the vehicles can be fixed. It’s not the first time the 4xe models have been recalled for battery issues, and a new suit … Read more

New York, Los Angeles, Seattle, Austin — each of these cities is replete with interesting vehicles to pick through, like a wrecking yard targeted towards weird car enthusiasts.

Image: The Keen Project Hear me out for a second. There’s no better way to go rallying than a lifted Porsche 911. There’s just something so incredibly cool about these monster sports cars, and I can’t explain it, but they operate on the same wavelength as an R3X. Okay, so it’s a lot more expensive, … Read more
