Because the Internet is full of people anxious to prove or disprove events, even those supported by photographic evidence, we're following up on our earlier report about a Google Street View driver with an active middle finger. The guys who took the photo claim it's real and are peeved the Internet doesn't believe them. More »

Digital artist Luis Nieves wowed us last week with a rendering of the iconic Ford GT40 in Gulf livery so realistic we said it would make you dream in pixels. More »

Fiat's Lancia arm showed off today the Chrysler-based models coming to Geneva next month. Considering Fiat's controlling stake, it's no surprise the new Europe-only Lancias are rebadged Chryslers. What is surprising: Lancia appears to have done the rebadging in Photoshop. More »

This charming shot was an entry in our sister site Gizmodo's staged-scene photo contest. It was built using Photoshop, a scale model of a Star Wars sandtrooper, and a '65 Falcon. (For reference, Mos Eisley is that way. Move along.) More »

Every automaker enhances their official images in Adobe Photoshop, often adding billowing smoke clouds to burnouts. Just like Lexus did here. Hilariously, they forgot a key detail. Lexus, here's a hint: Who's driving? [Lexus.ca via TheCarLounge] More »

Some of you have remarked that Piaggio’s Vespa-based minitruck bears a remarkable similarity to the Looney Tunes character. Reader Juan Diaz nails the proof with Photoshop. More »

So Louis Vuitton can make bags for a pretty non-existing car. Cool. How about making bags for an ugly non-existing car which is way faster? More »

The Geneva Motor Show brought one more reveal late in the Western night. The official name? Well, as you can see above, the latest Bugatti Veyron Special Edition is the most Mustang-like special edition ever. More »

All this talk about a GM-Chrysler merger has caused us to think; What if, instead of loan guarantees from the feds back in 1979, Chrysler had approached GM and asked them to be their angel of deliverance. What would an alternate universe be like if GM and Chrysler were already merged? Would the automotive landscape be the same? Or would it thrive with Plymiac Azbrings and Dodgy Challamaros? Maybe a Town & Camino or two? We don't know — but after the GEM mashup last month and the SLR Guy back in June — we know your creativity knows no bounds. So grab your digital #2 pencils and fire up Photoshop because we’re challenging YOU to create this alternate universe. Give us your best creations because we’re giving away a copy of Baja: Edge of Control for XBOX 360 and the 10th season of Top Gear from iTunes to the most creative, awe-inspiring General Mopar creation out there. And no, we don't mean creating your own lineup — we've already done that. Let's give you an example — hit the jump for all of the details and for our own mashup — the Challamaro — to show you what we mean. More »

Mazda has no known intentions to make a Mazda6 Coupe, but that didn't stop a forum fan-boy over at CarSpyShots named Baji192 from rendering his own two-door interpretation of the 2009 Mazda6. We've seen a mysterious drawing before that looked a bit more professional than this P-chop job but we're still wondering who would actually buy a coupe version, especially if it looked pretty much the same as the sedan. Besides, you'd think the market would already be saturated, what with the Toyota Camry Coupe Solara and Honda Accord Coupe. Of course, one could just say that's a market saturated with opportunity. Hit the jump for a look from the side. More »

The new Volkswagen Scirocco may just be hitting the roads, but somehow tuner ABT Sportsline has already released their version of the swoopy hatch. Oh wait, no they haven't, these are just renderings. Yes, as has become common practice for tuners anxious to get a jump on the competition, ABT has resorted to releasing Photoshop-enhanced pictures of a standard Scirocco to display the aftermarket upgrade package they allegedly have. The car claims to bump up the power of the 2.0-liter engine to 240 HP, to be sent to your choice of gaudy, oversized rims. Of course, we can't get the Scirocco in America anyways, so we'd rather fantasize about the Scirocco GT24 Nürburgring endurance racer. Press release after the jump. More »

Although we've already seen the 2010 Chevy Camaro revealed in three colors, the crazy kids over at CarScoop have decided the new Chevy Camaro RS needs to be seen in more than just plain-Jane colors like red, yellow and silver. They've Photoshopped a veritable Skittles-like rainbow of colorgasmic flavors for the new Chevy Camaro. Check out the front ends over here, then head on over to CarScoop to check out the hot rear action. Although we''re partial to pink on the new mullet-mobile, what's your favorite flavor? Better question — anyone want to take a few moments in P-shop themselves to mock up what colors and decals you'd drop atop Chevy's new muscle car? We'll do a post showing off the best tomorrow afternoon before the official unveiling at 4:00 PM EST.

This image popped up over the weekend being touted as a prototype BMW M1 snapped during a candid moment in a Spanish hanger. As we all know, major automakers regularly keep priceless, top secret, never before seen but completely finished supercars stored in regional airports, without camo on them. Well, there was that one time. But this time something seemed amiss. As this would be a fantastical development, especially in the wake of the surprise BMW M1 Homage reveal at Concorso d'Eleganza at Villa d'Este, we took a second look at it. Something seemed...just a bit off. More »

We tried, we really did. We just couldn't cut the entries from the Scion Hako Redesign Contest down enough to make this voting process even mildly manageable. We apologize if your entry got left on the cutting room floor, but we were inundated with chops that ran the scale from amazing to amazingly awesomely bad. What we're left with is a set of forty of the best, worst, and most amusing redesigns for the fug-nasty Scion Hako. Since there are so many entries, we're going to let you narrow things down a bit. To keep things fair we stripped the names off and we're not going to name names on this round, just so some of you more popular hooligans don't win by sheer wit. Browse through the gallery and pick out your favorite, make a note of the number above the image and vote away. We'll take the top 5 vote-getters and have a vote-off tomorrow afternoon then send the winner some rad hats. More »

To say the Scion Hako Concept went over poorly with the Jalopnik staff would be something of an understatement. Every time we checked the front page we'd recoil in horror as the Hako scrolled past on the screen. It became the generic stake by which other cars were measured. "At least it's not the Hako" was heard more than once. Now, considering the depth of photochopping skill we see from Chrysler here on a daily basis, we're betting you guys can do better than the awkward and boxy "American vintage style" Scion touted at the New York Auto Show.

Eagle-eyed reader Eywolf noticed something peculiar yesterday morning when we ran the new 2009 Dodge Challenger images and press release. After our fearless leader was lambasted by Chrysler PR for what seemed like hours over our suggestion the press images for the Chicago Auto Show unveil of the 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 had been massaged to enhance reality, it seems there may be further p-chopping on the latest batch of images in an apparent attempt to deceive the muscle-loving public into believing Chrysler has more than one color available for the Challenger save money. We took the time to create an animated gif of two of the images in question — one, a 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 from Chicago (in orange). The other, a purported image of the 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT8 (in white)... More »

Oh, the tangled web. Let's take a step back from what has become The Great 2008 Subaru Impreza Photos Question of 2007 and see if we can get this straight. 1.) Motor Trend published photos of the redesigned Impreza, taken by its own photographers, in its May issue. 2.) An early recipient of said magazine scanned the relevant pages and put the images online for greedy eyes to scrutinize. 3.) Edmunds created what copyright lawyers might call a "derivative work," using Photoshop to change the color and the background of Motor Trend's photos. 4.) None of it really matters — other than to copyright lawyers — because the car is the 2008 Impreza. Please continue to be happy or sad as the case may be. The question remains, Who should online travelers blame/skewer for this? Motor Trend? Edmunds? Subaru's selective media relations practices? Copyright lawyers? The producers of "According to Jim"? Exactly. [Extra credit to our boy Hammer for the image.] – Mike Spinelli More »

Considering the growing interest in old-school station wagons among lurkers of the collector-car market lately, it may be a matter of time before Detroit reintroduces the wagon to minivan-weary car buyers en masse. Designers of shoulda-coulda cars, CWW Design, is already on scene, with a range prospective Magnum-beaters from Lexus, Mercedes, Rolls, Plymouth (er, in a parallel universe) and others. Yes kids, buy stock in the fake-wood paneling market now, before you miss the runnup. – Mike Spinelli More »

While we received many artistic and delightful submissions, those who know the Loverman in the flesh know that the winner can only exist in the form of Kevin M. Shopping Jonny's head onto Larry the Cable Guy's bloated body is the masterstroke. Jonny's actually physically upset by the image. So much so he might be is sending Kevin-boy some back hair. In a sense, all who participated and lost are winners as, well, the Loverman's back hair is disgusting. All your addresses belong to us, Kevin. More »

In the above photo, devoted Jalopnik reader John Furst brilliantly played upon Jonny's love of his own face and dislike of oversized "dirt-haulers." Can you best Johnn's noble effort? Note: In the event that the Loverman is unable or unwilling to part with any of his chest hair, the winner of the contest will get a clipping from Davey's beard. Send entries to tips@jalopnik.com. Original photo and bonus Furst-shoppage after the jump. More »

Reader Scriv (Bators?) just flipped us his photochopped rendition of what a 2008 VW Microbus might look like, given the People's Company's penchant for incorporating Toyota-esque cues into its recent designs, including the new Jetta and the to-arrive-in-'08 Passat four-door coupe. Could it be, children? Could it? More »
