Driven: These Two Mint-Condition Classic Honda Accords Are Still 10Best Winners

As a kid, I dreamed of having a time machine. I was a history nerd who watched Cold War documentaries and taped Who concerts before school instead of cartoons. While I would have reveled in witnessing Pete Townshend smash a guitar in person, most of my time-machine fantasies (unsurprisingly) centered around cars. So, when Honda brought a pair of mint-condition Accord Coupes—one from 1988, the first year of the coupe, and another from 1994—to Car and Driver headquarters, it felt as if my dreams had finally come true.

Parking Barnacles Are Like Facehuggers From Alien (And Might Violate California Law) - Jalopnik

If you go out to see an "Alien" movie, you have an idea of what you're in for. Not just any alien-themed sci-fi film — we're talking films from the franchise universe that followed Ridley Scott's 1979 movie, "Alien." And if you're in the theatre, you won't be surprised to see those angry little facehugger things, but you'd be pretty ticked off to return to your car after the film and find a big, yellow nasty suction device plastered on your windshield.

BMW's Gas-Powered 3-Series Gets a Big Makeover, And We Have the Details

The BMW 3-series has leaped through seven generations over half a century, but this one feels different. BMW is marking that evolutionary break by giving the eighth-generation car the Neue Klasse name, after the model series that not only established BMW as a benchmark brand for enthusiast-­first sports sedans in the early 1960s but also saved the company from financial ruin. Talk about some big shoes to fill.

7 SUVs That Depreciated Surprisingly Fast Over 5 Years - Jalopnik

Depreciation hits some vehicles harder than others. The good folks at iSeeCars called this out in a study released in early 2026, with EVs as the worst offenders, averaging 57.2% of value loss over five years. The numbers get even more interesting with SUVs. Despite these vehicles accounting for almost two-thirds of all new vehicle registrations, they have the second-highest five-year depreciation as a group at 44.9% for the 2026 model year.

When it comes to cross-brand badge-engineered cars, you'd typically expect the fancier, more expensive version to come with more stuff than its cheaper counterparts. More toys, more leather, more range... more car. In the case of the upcoming Lexus TZ, however, it's weirdly offering less when compared to its Toyota and Subaru siblings in one key area: horsepower.

I'm too young and fun to be a true Billy Joel fan, especially since my dad's taste in music is more "The Scotsman" than "Piano Man." But my love of motorcycles is no secret, and you know I appreciate any artist who plays actual instruments, so Joel's always been one of those musicians I felt like I should be more into. And what better place to start than buying one of his old motorcycles this fall? In November, Gooding Christie's will be auctioning off more than 70 motorcycles in Joel's collection, and despite his celebrity status, you might actually be able to afford buy a few of them.

Why Cars Were Allowed To Enter Yellowstone After The Opening Of The Panama Canal - Jalopnik

Yellowstone National Park, where bison create the cutest traffic jams, is widely known not only for its famously scenic drives but as the first national park established in the United States, on March 1, 1872. Reaching three of those states — Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming — it's best known for its famous geyser, Old Faithful, and has consistently welcomed over 4.5 million annual visitors over the past several years. Many of them have the roads to thank for granting them access to the park, but naturally, the roads weren't always there. In fact, Yellowstone didn't even let automobiles enter for its first 43 years.

6 SUVs That Can Only Seat Four Occupants - Jalopnik

Many purchase sport utility vehicles (SUVs) over sedans or wagons to accommodate several occupants while still having some, or in certain cases, plenty of usable cargo space left. Automakers often deliver on both of these fronts, with SUV seating becoming increasingly flexible. Most SUVs can hold at least five people, and many offer seating for seven or eight occupants. While often practical, these interior designs have us remembering SUVs that accommodated no more than four people.
