Dodge Ask anyone within the Jalopnik Slack channel, I’ve long been saying that Stellantis should give the keys to Ram CEO Tim Kuniskis and let him go buck wild. Well, it looks as if some folks a the Transatlantic automaker — including newly appointed CEO Antonio Filosa — agree with my considering, because Kuniskis was just made the top of American brands and North American marketing and retail strategy. His first order of business? Bringing back SRT. That is right, baby. Street and Racing Technology is making a comeback under the stewardship of Kuniskis after it was quietly and unofficially…
A Michigan judge has kicked over 200 Teslas out of a suburban Detroit shopping mall car parking zone after sitting there virtually untouched for months. On June 4, forty seventh District Court Judge Marla Parker ordered that the owner of Hunter’s Square shopping center in Farmington Hills needed to remove the vehicles by June 25 because keeping them there was in violation of city code. City Manager Gary Mekjian said the Teslas were completely passed by June 19, in line with Automotive News. At their peak, there have been 204 Teslas being kept in that mall’s car parking zone, waiting…
Ford Last Summer, Ford shocked much of the automotive world when it lapped a Mustang GTD across the Nürburgring Nordschleife in only 6:57:685. Well, apparently, that wasn’t quite enough for the Blue Oval, so it decided to go back to Germany to lap the automobile again after tinkering with it. Due to its work with engineering partner Multimatic, Ford’s beast of a Mustang just clocked a 6:52.072 lap time with Dirk Müller (the identical driver as the primary run) behind the wheel. Knocking 5.5 seconds off a Nürburgring lap time isn’t any sure bet, and that is why Ford and…
Subaru I do not care what individuals who claim to love “minimalist” automobile design say, a rear wing is nearly all the time a sick addition to a automobile. It might take a boring automobile and add a little bit little bit of fun. It might be actually functional, or it will probably just be a little bit something to let those around you already know your automobile is a bit special. That is what leads me to today’s query. I need to know what automobile you’re thinking that has one of the best spoiler of all time. What automobile’s…
Andy Kalmowitz / Jalopnik It is often fun to see an automaker do something weird simply because it could actually. That is exactly what is happening with Hyundai and the 2025 Ioniq 5 XRT. Leading the charge of the refresh of this popular compact electric crossover is an off-road-focused variant with a questionable face and an entire lot of hoonable character. I’m undecided who was really asking for an off-road version of the Ioniq 5, but I’m sure thankful for whoever did. This crossover is a lot fun on the dirt that you will forget it looks unfinished from the…
