NICE Ze-O: Production Electric Car For $28,000, Ugly For Free
The NICE Ze-O is yet another all-electric vehicle set to be unveiled at this month's British International Motor Show. The only difference here is the Chinese-built bucket of ugly will be leapfrogging the likes of Nissan and GM, and going on sale in autumn to the Brits at a whopping $28,000. NICE is an acronym for "No Internal Combustion Engine," but it's a bit of a misnomer considering the looks. With a range of only 65 miles and top speed of just 55 MPH, the Ze-O is kind of a bitter pill to swallow, especially considering we don't even know how much power that blender motor has. [Paultan]

New Mitsubishi Pajero Sport SUV Coming To Moscow
Mitsubishi will introduce its latest Pajero Sport SUV next month at the annual Moscow International Auto Salon. The new Mitsu bruiser, known on the South side of the Americas as the Mitsubishi Montero, will feature 2- or 3-row seating along with water-repellent seats and a waterproof luggage compartment floor. They're features Mitsubishi claims to be "ideal for leisure use." We suppose that depends upon your idea of leisure. Two diesels along with a gas V6 will power the Pajero Sport, which, coupled with its Russian introduction, should tell you it's not coming here. Full release and a shot from the rear after the jump.

Mazda Kazamai To Show Off Swirling Crosswinds In Moscow
In the spirit of "sustainable zoom-zoom" — their words, not ours — Mazda has finally revealed the Kazamai, the mystery compact crossover bowing at the Moscow International Auto Salon August 26. Kazamai means "swirling crosswinds," and if you think you're seeing a heaping helping of Nagare design language, you're spot-on. Of more interest, the release mentions a next-generation direct-injection engine and a "new transmission," though we'd imagine that those too are currently concepts that won't see the light of day for a while. Full release after the jump.More »

Honda OSM Convertible Low-Emission Sports Car To Bow At British Motor Show
Honda plans to go both green and topless at the British Motor Show with what they're unromantically dubbing the Honda OSM (Open Study Model), a lightweight, sporty "study model" of a low-emissions cabriolet. Does this mean it'll carry the same hybrid powertrain as the CR-Z concept? Is this just a diesel? They haven't told us, but the car officially has its coming-out on July 22, so we expect all the important details to leak out before the end of the week. More »

Denver Crooks Throw Down Gas-Theft Gauntlet
Remember when we told you the five best ways to steal gas, and one really bad one? We didn't actually mean for you hooligans to go out and start swiping petrol. We only provided the information as a public service, but some enterprising crooks in Denver have gone and used it for evil, making off with dino juice from cars parked at the Denver International Airport. At least they picked a good target: an Escalade EXT, which sports a hefty 31-gallon tank — the equivalent of about $120 in gas. [CW2]
jalopnik automotive amerigasm
We're celebrating Independence Day with a week-long automotive Amerigasm heading down two diametrically opposite roads. The first, started yesterday, is a salute to the best car commercials — a celebration of the conspicuous over-consumption that made this nation great. The second road is one we'll be traveling at government-mandated speeds — a salute to the police car. While The Man may always be trying to keep us down, we salute him for having some killer vehicles with which to do it. You can take both roads this week here. —Ed.
We've compiled a list of the greatest American police cars in honor of our patriotic, week-long Independence Day celebration. Whether on the big screen or the rear-view mirror, the radio car is as much a part of the ubiquitous American landscape as the golden arches of McDonalds or the billboards offering "Color TV" to road-weary travelers. Though they represent different things to different people, and we don't always love the people inside, they're there and, in the true American spirit, the cars are usually big, fast and strong. Which is why we love them. Check them all out and vote for your favorite below the jump. More »

2009 BMW 7-Series Teases German Golfers
The new 2009 BMW 7-Series won't be officially unveiled until next week, but that didn't stop BMW from showing off a larger-than-life teaser image at this past weekend's BMW International Open in Germany. Of course, they had to show something, since the prize for sinking a hole-in-one on the par-three 17th hole was none other than one of the new Bavarian luxo-barges.More »

Suzuki Breaks Up With Detroit Auto Show, Needs Some Space
Suzuki has joined Porsche in abandoning the Detroit Auto Show, though explicitly this time because of a lack of space. Seriously, have you ever driven through Cobo Arena? Tiny place. They have to put cars on the roof it's so small. This is bad news for Detroit, considering the NAIAS already threatened to leave if they didn't get an expanded convention center. Since it's freaking winter and we're covering it, may we suggest somewhere warmer like Miami? And what's more, why does Suzuki need any extra room? More »

Vintage Racer Killed In High-Speed Crash At Mosport Raceway
This weekend weekend of bad motorsports keeps getting worse. Yesterday, Scott Kalitta. Today, Dino Crescentini, a ten-year veteran of vintage racing, died at Mosport International Raceway in Bowmanville, Ontario, when the Wolf Dallara Can-Am car he was driving — a car once owned by Canadian industrialist and Formula One team owner Walter Wolf and driven in the 1977 Can-Am Series by the legendary Canadian Gilles Villeneuve — apparently went sideways at very high speed. Crescentini was participating in a race as part of the 29th International Vintage Racing Festival at the track. Inspector Paul Hamilton of the Durham Regional Police tells us"...[the driver] was heading northbound from corner six at Mosport. After this corner is a long straightaway and at some point his vehicle became airborne at an extremely high rate of speed and rolled end-over-end. The driver was transported to Bowmanville hospital where he succumbed to his injuries."An at-the-scene account from tipster John below the jump:
UPDATE: This is NOT the same Dino Crescentini who does SCCA racing. Different guy. More »

jalopnik does nascar
Ford Racing invited Los Jalops on a NASCAR immersion trip this past Friday. At first we were skeptical, considering the big oval hasn't traditionally been our beat, but we've never been ones to shy away from bringing you the gift of knowledge, particularly when the odor of burning Sunoco 260 is involved. Since Wert's mouth was deemed "too purdy," yours truly popped a pinch 'twixt cheek and gum and headed over to Michigan International Speedway during practice laps for the LifeLock 400 to see what the fuss was all about. Five surprising revelations after the jump.

Mazda To Reveal Anonymous Concept Crossover In Moscow
Mazda is showing off their latest Nagare design ("flow" in Japanese) to the Russians today, unveiling an unnamed concept crossover vehicle and describing it as a "sporty, compact crossover SUV designed especially for the Russian market." We're not sure exactly what that means, but a smoky two-stroke under a hood made entirely of iron would be appropriate. Mazda's Nagare designs are said to represent natural flow and first appeared at the 2006 LA Auto Show. Full release and gallery after the jump.More »

We Go Crazy For The RWD Toyota Aygo Crazy
For those looking for the small footprint of an economy car combined with the RWD burnout capability of a muscle car, Toyota presents the Aygo Crazy concept car. Based on the Toyota Aygo city car, this one-off has a turbocharged version of Toyota's 1.8-liter four banger squeezed into the backseat (replacing the three-cylinder front-mounted mill). And of course, with 200 horsepower going to the rear wheels of a car that weighs just over a ton, you're not going to want power steering, ESP or ABS getting in the way. We think that would be truly crazy.More »

1948 IH Truck Plus Suzuki Samurai Plus Lots Of Work Equals... Parade Car?
Here we have one of those projects that's just downright puzzling. Say you've got a 1948 International Harvester K-1 truck with a '48 Chrysler straight-eight flathead engine, you're packing serious metalworking skills, and you want to make something different. There's only one logical choice: you graft a Suzuki Samurai body onto it, add a long Zimmer-style hood, and you get a "parade car" for the ages. The Buy It Now is under seven grand, which is a steal given the level of craftsmanship. We're thinking race-car tow vehicle here. Thanks to UDMan for finding this one! [eBay Motors]

1957 International Metro Motor Home Could Make Anyone Into Hunter S. Thompson
After bright red Cadillac El Dorados and desert racers, we can imagine no other vehicle more capable of evoking gonzo journalistic activities than this International Motorhome. Sure it's a little rusty now, and this particular model would require the addition of a very powerful engine and multiple drug cabinets, but it's there, lurking beneath that perfectly patina'd yellow paint — the call of the open road. This gem is practically begging for misadventure and with only a day left it's going for a scant $1,047.22. Someone needs to get this before we do.[eBay Listing]

NAIAS May Leave Detroit If Organizers Don't Get Cobo Expansion
The complaints about the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) staged yearly in January in Detroit fall into three categories A) it's in January B) It's in Detroit and C) Cobo Hall is just too small for the event. Well after the plan was announced to expand Cobo Hall by some 120,000 square feet, the organizers are concerned the politicians in Lansing will be politicians and fail to deliver the goods on the deal. Such fears are leading to statements from show chair Joe Serra like "We want to keep it here, but time has run out." More »
down on the street
It's not only Truck Monday, it's Memorial Day! We haven't seen a street-parked vintage military vehicle since the Unimog of last fall, and we're due for another war wagon! I spotted this '43 IHC on the same block as the minister's '77 Camaro, and it was apparently surrounded by Soviet troops. Nothing I see on the street in Alameda surprises me any more, so I stopped to see what was going on.
