Are you bummed out that us Americans won’t be getting the new Toyota Land Cruiser — and that even if we were, we’d have to wait at least four years to get one? Are the new Toyota Sequoia TRD Pro and Lexus LX600 just not going to cut it for you? Well, there’s some good news for you, very specific person.

Every year (or sometimes randomly within a year ) automakers adjust prices across their model lineups. Usually, that means manufacturers add very slight increases for every vehicle — to keep up with inflation, you see. Lincoln, however, has done the opposite: Decreasing the price of the 2022 Aviator by a truly… Read more... source https://jalopnik.com/heres-what-you-should-buy-with-your-2022-lincoln-aviato-1848453102

How far would you go to redeem a bit of free cash? Would you pick a penny off the sidewalk, answer some market research questions, or return your glass bottles to claim a deposit? Well, two men in Berlin went one step further: They stole a car in order to claim the rewards they’d get for recycling the trash inside.

The 60th 24 Hours of Daytona had a finale that will be remembered for the next 60 years.

I’ve seen countless videos of drivers haphazardly losing control of their vehicles on snow-covered roads.

When Ford ended its GT sports car racing program in 2019 , the announcement disappointed a great many fans, partly because it always sucks to see a popular manufacturer back away from racing, and partly because the Ford GT was especially cool.

I think at this moment, one of the more interesting things happening in the automotive world, culturally, has to do with the Tesla/Elon Musk fanbase. This goes beyond brand loyalty and even beyond the level of single-marque fanaticism that we’ve seen many times before. It’s weirder — and, often, sadder.

It appears they can, because a U.S. judge issued an arrest warrant for a white, 781-foot long fugitive that goes by the name Crystal Symphony , wanted for skipping out on a $4 million gas (well, probably that thick, creamery ship diesel fuel, really) bill.
