At $7,500, Is This 2004 Chrysler Sebring GTC On Track For A Quick Sale? - Jalopnik
When originally posted, the ad for today's Nice Price or No Dice Sebring had a typo that added an extra zero to the price tag. Let's see if this rare manual-equipped convertible's desirability warrants having more than one zero removed from that price.
At $6,900, Is This 2004 Audi TT 3.2 A Bauhaus Bargain? - Jalopnik
Now that you can't just waltz into any Audi dealer and plunk down hard-earned cash for a new TT, older models like today's Nice Price or No Dice 3.2-liter S-Line edition are the only way to go. Let's find out whether we want to go there at this one's price.
This Studebaker Is Basically a Street-Legal NASCAR that Competed in Mexico's Most Grueling Race
- Studebakers can be a bit stuffy. Not this one.
- Built to take on the La Carrera Panamericana endurance race, it's a 550-hp vintage racer with license plates.
- In addition to the road race in Mexico, it's ideal for most any endurance racing.
One of the greatest on-screen line deliveries belongs not to a human actor but to a Muppet, Fozzie Bear's memorable "Ah, a bear in his natural habitat, a Studebaker." The Studebaker in question, a shabby '51 Commander, is what most people think of the breed: fusty, slow, a bit of a punchline. Not so in Mexico, where streamlined Fifties Studebakers are absolute rocketships.
Here's How Much A 2022 Polestar 2 Has Depreciated In 4 Years - Jalopnik
The Polestar 2 arrived as Polestar's first true volume EV intended to compete directly against the Tesla Model 3. For 2022, Polestar restructured the lineup around two versions: a front-wheel-drive Single Motor trim and an all-wheel-drive Dual Motor trim. Polestar's own August 2021 pricing announcement set a starting MSRP of $45,900 for the Single Motor and $49,900 for the Dual Motor, before the $1,300 destination charge. Four years on, Kelley Blue Book lists the current private-party values of $19,000 and $21,400 for the Single Motor and Dual Motor trims, respectively. That comes out to a depreciation of $28,200 (roughly 60%) on the Single Motor and $29,800 (58%) on the Dual Motor trim. Edmunds' appraisal tool lands lower still for clean cars, pegging private-party values at $17,387 for the Single Motor and $19,450 for the Dual Motor.
The Contentious History Of The Term 'SUV' - Jalopnik

The term "Sport Utility Vehicle" is a contentious one. To a purist, a vehicle needs to feature a ladder frame, a transfer case, and all-wheel drive to qualify as an SUV. But to many members of the general public, being tall and having a rear liftgate is all that it takes to be classified as one. The term has become so diluted that even the Polestar 3, a sleek electric performance vehicle, is marketed as an SUV. It's a prime example of how the goalposts have clearly shifted from utility to image building. But why is the definition of "SUV" so contentious in the first place?
This 2012 Cadillac CTS-V Wagon Has Been Taken to the Next Level
- Cadillac's CTS-V wagon was one of the brand's wilder production cars. This one takes things further.
- The supercharged V-8 has been upgraded to pump out 700 horsepower, and there's a widebody kit to accommodate the rubber that'll put that power to the ground.
For years, American station wagons trumpeted suburban respectability, family values, and a practical approach to life. Not so much this find from Bring a Trailer (which, like Car and Driver, is part of Hearst Autos), a wild Cadillac CTS-V wagon that takes the whining and fighting out of the back seat and stuffs it under the hood in the form of a piercing supercharger howl and V-8 thunder. Throw in a widebody kit from Canepa Design, and this is the kind of wagon to have the neighborhood locking their doors and peeking out from behind drawn curtains.
This Incredibly Successful Retro-Style Video Game Just Added a Classic Hyundai Pickup Truck
- Dave the Diver is a deceptively simple game with a retro look that's hugely popular.
- The latest expansion pack takes the titular Dave into the jungle, and he's got a 1976 Hyundai Pony pickup truck to help out with the adventures.
- The Pony has developed something of a cult following in South Korea, despite its humble beginnings.
Automakers doing crossovers with video games isn't a new thing, but generally, the games involve realistic racing. For instance, about 10 years back, Hyundai's N division released a wild fuel-cell-powered racing concept specifically meant to be a playable car in Gran Turismo. In this case, however, we've got a global manufacturer lending a battered old red pickup truck to a plucky aquatic hero who's a bit more beluga than shark.
500-HP Viper-V10-Powered Motorcycle Is Up For Sale If You Dare - Jalopnik
The Dodge Tomahawk always rubbed me the wrong way. It's not the idea of a motorcycle wrapped around an enormous car engine that bothered me, but the fact that it has four wheels. Allen Millyard agreed with that assessment and built a proper two-wheeled, Viper-powered motorcycle of his own. And now, it can be yours, as it's going up for auction at the end of July.
This 2026 Ford Escape Trim Level Increases Horsepower without Breaking Your Budget
- The Ford Escape may have ended production, but there are still plenty of 2026 models out there. Buyers can choose from five trim levels and two powertrains in nonhybrid Escapes.
- The ST-Line Select upgrades the Escape's standard 181-hp 1.5-liter three-cylinder to a 250-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, adding considerable power.
- The ST-Line Select also shares styling and interior materials with the highest-level trim, making it a cost-effective choice.

Ferrari Says It 'Didn't Expect' The Level Of Hate The $640,000 Luce EV Got - Jalopnik
Ferrari
You'd be hard-pressed to find someone who really, really likes the Ferrari Luce. Sure, the storied Italian automaker has built controversial cars in the past (the Purosangue, FF and F50 spring to mind), but none of them have garnered the same sort of hate that the company's first pure-electric vehicle, first sedan and first five-seater have. That has apparently caught Ferrari by surprise.
