It wasnât long ago when not many folks knew about Gary Duncanâs amazing collection of eclectic Japanese cars. Then Jalopnik wrote a story on it, and ever since, our friend the Virginia dealer and JDM importer has been getting calls off the hookâincluding one from a producer working on a piece with Bill Gates andâŚ
Friends, as your hardworking Jalopnik EIC, Iâve driven some cars. At this point, everything from a Ford Model A to a Bugatti Veyron. Hell, Iâve even been behind the wheel of a Lancia Delta Integrale, and you could probably fit all the Americans whoâve done that into a school bus. But Iâve had one bizarre,âŚ
Two compact Nissans as the SUV-pocalypseâs latest victims, Dieselgate troubles, a Faraday Future delay and more await you in The Morning Shift for Wednesday, Sept. 12, 2018.
Back when I was coming up, you werenât shit if your car didnât have a VeilSide bodykit. I donât think thatâs still true, but it is in my mind.
The 2018 Nissan Titan may be one of the most clever pickups Iâve ever driven. Between the numerous bins inside to the integrated tie-downs in the bed, the truck actually makes good use of its enormous size.
Car tariffs, a Nissan recall, rapid battery charging and more await you. This is The Morning Shift for Friday, Aug. 31, 2018.
Dammit, I liked the Nissan Juke. It was fun, it was weird and it was different, three things desperately missing from Nissanâs current snooze-fest of a lineup. (Iâm sure the new Altima will make a decent rental car next time youâre in Minneapolis for work, but no oneâs lusting after it.) And while the Juke isâŚ
Lars Wolfe wanted his new race car to be able to do a little bit of everything: rally, road racing and whatever else potentially tickled his fancy. But he also wanted to stand out, so naturally, he bought one of the weirdest cars in recent history: a 2013 Nissan Juke. Hereâs how a cute grocery getter became aâŚ
Matthew Coxâs 1993 Nissan 240SX convertible looked fine enough in the eBay photos. It was his chance to own a rare version of a car he loved, and it was fine on the outside! Then he got a good look under the carâs shiny pearl white paint, and discovered that he may have bought one of the biggest rip-offs of all time.
Silvia. Silviaaaa. It was the name Nissan gave to its line of sport coupes that were built on its S platform. They were beautiful cars and, in their latter generations, became the go-to drifterâs choice. Hereâs a quick walk through of them all.
The fuel economy fight is happening, Toyota is (still) making a lot of money, Buick is in the news, and more. Welcome to The Morning Shift. Itâs Friday!
Crossovers are all largely the same ambiguous blobby shapes these days, which is why itâs extra sad that the funky Nissan Juke is dead.
Maybe you forgot about it since it seems to fly under the radar, but Nissan makes a half-ton pickup: the Titan. Iâm driving one with the 5.6-liter gasoline-fueled V8. Thereâs all kinds of clever bins and tie-downs that make me wonder why I donât see more Titans on the road. What would you like to know about it?
The Nissan Leaf Nismo is going on sale in Japan this month, featuring a retuned computer that promises better acceleration and more performance-oriented tires and suspension. But the real speed comes from the strips of red trim, of course.
Whether a person knows cars in and out or could be tricked into trying to buy blinker fluid, when most of us think of sports cars, we think of sleek, fast and refined. Nissanâs design boss, instead, insists the companyâs next six-figure GT-R supercar be âthe worldâs fastest brick. Less wing, more brick.â
The updated Nissan Leaf EV features a revamped, kind of boring look and an interesting emphasis on the electric car driving experience. But the forthcoming long-range trimâdubbed the Leaf E-Plusâshould make it a tad more exciting, with a new report saying itâll have a total output of 200 horsepower, making it a solidâŚ
A woman in Cornwall, Ontario accidentally drove away in someoneâs Infiniti after mistaking it for her Nissan rental car, the local police posted on Facebook. After two weeks, she returned what she though was her rental car, and complained about how âunkeptâ it was before realizing her mistake. Hereâs how the CanadianâŚ
The Nissan GT-R50 by Italdesign that we saw last month was, in a word, polarizing. I thought it looked great. Most of you disagreed. Well, if I had over a million bucks, Iâd buy one just to spite all of you.
Good morning! Welcome to The Morning Shift, your roundup of the auto news you crave, all in one place every weekday morning. Here are the stories you need to know.
I suspect many of you saw the word âSentraâ and immediately exciting images of the under-appreciated classic Sentra SE-R popped into your head, or perhaps some of the charmingly practical â80s-era Sentras. If thatâs you, youâre likely hurt and confused. Those Sentras werenât meh!, you likely shouted, making everyoneâŚ
