Citroën Is Bringing Back the 2CV, and the Concept Car Is Full of Adorable, Whimsical Details

Citroën is dipping into its back catalog and reviving its most iconic, influential car. At the 2026 Paris auto show, the French automaker revealed the new 2CV concept, paying faithful tribute to the original 2CV, which Citroën built nearly four million of during a production run that lasted over 40 years. But this new 2CV isn’t just some nostalgic flight of fancy, but previews a production model that will join Citroën’s lineup in 2028.

Stockton Thinks Putting A Giant Skidpad In The Middle Of Intersections Will Stop Street Takeovers - Jalopnik

As car enthusiasts, we're all for enjoying automobiles responsibly, but the keyword there is "responsibly." Unfortunately, street takeovers and sideshows have become a frequent and dangerous part of the culture that municipalities are actively trying to combat. The city of Compton, California, for example, recently found success putting strategically positioned rubber medians in intersections. Up north in Stockton, however, a similar tactic has seemingly backfired and, once you actually get eyes on the obstructions installed, it's not hard to see why.

How Ex-Ford CEO Alan Mulally Endured Consumer Reports Criticizing His Brand New SUV - Jalopnik

In September 2006, Alan Mulally walked into Ford with an unusual credential for an automaker CEO — he'd spent his entire career building aircraft at Boeing. Upon his arrival, Ford had posted a $12.7 billion loss that year, and its market share had been declining for 10 years in a row – recession level losses that Ford has only recently approached since. The automaker's leadership was consumed by the personal agendas of internal executives that actively worked against the company's broader success.

Commercial air travel may be statistically safer than ever, but modern airliners are far from bulletproof. Having a place to land is vital if something goes wrong, especially over the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Henderson Field on Midway Atoll is on the verge of closure unless the FAA undertakes a $100 million upgrade effort.

Ask anyone who's driven one, and they'll tell you that the Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT is one of the most impressive cars on the market. On paper, and when looking at it, the Turbo GT doesn't seem like it's hugely different from a regular Cayenne Turbo, but oh boy is it. You'd be hard pressed to find many sports cars that are more satisfying to drive on a back road while being equally good as a daily driver, let alone find any SUVs that are as dynamically capable, so I'm quite excited that Porsche is working on a Turbo GT version of the new Cayenne Electric, which is already fantastic.

Sometimes, we love to turn our brains off and watch a car movie — the "Fast and Furious" series has made approximately a gajilion dollars off this love, and it's not even finished yet. But sometimes, we want something a little more erudite in its visuals, its narrative, or its general presentation. Those are the movies we're here to talk about today: The most beautiful car films in history. Earlier this week, I asked what you all think the most beautiful car films are, and today we're looking at your responses.
