Who would’ve thought that canine hoons in Thailand would be the target demographic for the Nissan Qashqai? Maybe that’s not what they were going for, but then the video does allegedly have a dog driving the small crossover through a ring of fire. Ok, so this video is blatantly soaked with CG, but… »
The future can only be seen in the past, meaning that we can only be wrong or right in retrospect. Today we looked back on the Giugiaro-penned Porsche Tapiro concept, which could be any of the futuristic looking designs of the 1970’s. Was it the future? Not quite.

Here we find a perfect example as to why using those 2×8’s you’ve got lying around behind the shed to load a half million dollar Porsche Carrera GT is a bad idea. We’re not positive of the categorization here, but “epic fail” might be as close as we can get for everybody involved… »
The attractive Volkswagen Passat CC, which VW plans to sell as merely the Volkswagen CC despite America’s resistance to the metric system, will be going on sale in the US this September and the company apparently has big plans for the “four-door coupe.” In a conversation with Automotive News Europe, a VW exec was quoted… »
A gently copy of everybody’s favorite V12 powered SUV, the Jalopnik Fantasy Garage worthy Lamborghini LM002, has just sold on eBay for an astounding $105,000 US.
