The experts in pony car animal husbandry knew their talents would not go to waste when Ford revived the 5.0-liter V8 dubbed Coyote. Here's one of their first crossbreeds, a swap into a Fox-body Mustang. Call it the Foxyote. More »

Although pedestrian crash safety was greatly improved by turning the entire car inside out, Volkswagen found occupants were turned into hamburger in any accident involving the new inside-out VW Fox. [VW via IBelieveInAdv] More »

Welcome to Down On The Street, where we admire old vehicles found parked on the streets of the Island That Rust Forgot: Alameda, California. When was the last time you saw a late Fox Mustang LX that looked this clean? More »

Existing to arouse torture-happy conservatives, 24 is going green to stop damaging the world the show is trying to protect. This could be a new plot twist: Jack Bauer realizes the global terrorist is himself. More »

It's been awhile since we last had a chance to hoist some drinks over a Jalopnik editor hitting the airwaves. Luckily, our intrepid associate editor in Chicago is giving us a chance to drown our sorrows over the high price of gas on the Fox Business Channel this afternoon at 1:35 EST. Matt "Holla-Holla" Hardigree will be going toe-to-toe with Stuart "Little" Varney and they'll be talking about whether luxury cars are taking as big a hit on the new sales market as SUV's. If you don't know the rules of how the game is played, head over here to check them out. If you do (or once you do, we should say) hit the jump and get to providing us some new rules for the world's only official car pundit drinking game. Then, if you happen to be in one of the plethora of media markets with FBC, turn on the boob-tube, pop open your favorite libation, and get ready to play. More »

The cars driven by the team members and audience at the 24 Hours of LeMons race tended to be more interesting than what you'd see in your typical East Bay parking lot. I saw an AMC Hornet with a trunk-mounted computer, a small-block XJ6 with a wicked-looking hood scoop, and this very clean Fox wagon... which turned out to be owned by Shawn, a helluva good mechanic who showed up as a last-minute crew addition and proved incredibly useful in the Black Metal V8olvo pit action. That's Shawn fueling our car in the gallery below. I can't recall the last time I saw an Audi Fox in any condition, much less one this nice. More »

Imagine cruising in your brand new, 2007 BMW 320D Touring at 230 kph (~143 mph) along the pristine asphalt of the Autobahn, listening to the finest in German techno. All of a sudden from the roadside, a flash of fur streaks across the road and you feel a mild thump, accompanied by a spray of rouge across the bottom of the passenger side windscreen. All of the warning lights explode across your instrument panel. If you are the fellow who drives this particular BMW, you don't have to imagine anything, because this scenario played itself out recently and the fox who did the streaking did not live to tell his tale. Excuse our discretion, but the gallery for this one is below the fold... More »

But I gotta be honest here, the song in this ad drove both me and Señor Johnson crazy... More »

Somewhere around 1986, we got the bug to have a badass R/C car of our own. We scrimped. We saved. We scrounged, and we didn't buy an RC/10. Or an Optima. Somehow, we believed that the Tamiya Fox was obviously the coolest R/C money could buy, thus dooming us to a life of fetishizing Citroëns and Mantas. Regardless, that car frankly was pretty awesome to an eleven-year-old boy; we spent plenty of hours terrorizing motorists and wayward dogs with the torquey little buggy, which eventually ended up with a candy-apple red '67 GTO body, thus pre-dating our eight years of GM A-Body ownership by um, three years or so. Steve Finkbuilt has a slightly older fantasy — that of Tamiya's Sand Scorcher Baja Bug. And given that the car is from the company's pre-ABS-plastic era, it goes for far too much money for an econo tinkerer like himself. So, naturally, he built his own, using a venerable Grasshopper chassis as the basis. [Finkbuilt] More »
]]> http://jalopnik.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=282064&view=rss&microfeed=true Congrats to the General on helping to put up the ducats necessary to pay for NBC/Fox's new GooTube competitor. That's right, GM's going to be one of the first advertisers on the new online video collaboration between the fair and balanced Fox and the peacocks at NBC. And we're glad to see it, because we think the world needs more boldly moving automakers willing to agree to buy advertising on a platform that doesn't yet exist, and will probably quickly become filled with videos of cats playing piano, ninjas and you know, other randomness. We also like that Cadberry's buying advertising on it as well, because we like the chocolate eggs and stuff. – Ray Wert More »

Yeah, we don't know German so much, so there's not much more we can tell you other than that AutoBild's got what they're claiming is a rendering of a new version of the V-Dub Lupo. The Lupo's the two-door "city car" killed by the automaker representing Deutschland back in 2005 in favor of the VW Fox. AutoBild's claiming this new Lupo will be representing starting in 2011. Anyone have a German-English dictionary we can borrow? – Ray Wert More »

Martin Winterkorn, the new boss at Volkswagen, told the German newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung that he had proposed the "design and development of a new, very small, model below the Fox." According to a translation from the folks at Car und Driver, the car will be an "economical, everyday small car that looks attractive and is affordable" and will have "space for four people plus luggage," unlike the DCX Smart it will compete with. Keep in mind... More »

The German Car Blog procured some shots, reportedly from a Brazilian magazine, that shows a new VW Fox MPV for Brazil. The MPV will debut along with the rest of the facelifted Fox lineup. Sure, it could be a photoshopped Skoda, with a Passat rear-end grafted on, but there's something that makes us think a VW similar to this could wind up in the US market in the next couple of years. Call it intuition. More »

Fox has decided to broaden the Ford-centric product-placement universe of 24 and toss some Toyota in the mix. In the fifth-season "bridge" mini-movie that comes with the DVD set of season four, Kiefer Sutherland will run from or be running down baddies in an Avalon. Which we guess is sort of like a modern-day Steve McGarrett-mobile, but not nearly as badass as the top Five-Oh cop's Merc. Jeez...remember when Mercuries could be considered certifiably appropriate rides for badasses on either side of the law? Wha' happen? More »
