Rockstar Games released Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look on Netflix, showing gameplay for the first time.
Among other things, the video previews driving and many of the vehicles to be featured in the game.
Grand Theft Auto VI will release on November 19 on Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5.
You already know what Grand Theft Auto VI is. This week, Rockstar Games finally released a 26-minute extended look at gameplay. Mindblowing is the word we’re going to use to describe what was in it. However, this is Car and Driver, so we’re going to focus on the cars and the driving.
On Wednesday, 25 member nations of the International Atomic Energy Agency formally announced the start of a new initiative to shepherd civilian nuclear power on both the coastal and the high seas. Called Atomic Technologies Licensed for Applications at Sea, or ATLAS, the project is meant to jumpstart a more deliberate and serious transition away from fossil fuels and towards radioactive energy in maritime settings. This basically breaks down into two categories: nuclear-powered civilian ships and floating nuclear power plants (FNPPs). There has been a little bit of activity in these areas over the last few decades, but it hasn't been deployed at scale. Now, the main regulatory body for nuclear power around the world is putting its back into the effort.
The Isle of Man TT circuit and the machines riders use to tackle these death-defying timed trials have changed considerably since the 1960s. Yet the basic riding techniques used by a six-time winner of one of the most challenging (and possibly deadly) races in the world, can still be applied to your motorcycle riding and racing skills today. In the film, "Racing and Roadcraft," shared by PeriscopeFilm on YouTube, Geoff Duke (properly Geoffrey Ernest Duke OBE), the actual six-time winner of the Isle of Man TT between the years 1949 and 1955, takes viewers, along with a group of young men and editor Bob Holliday of Motor Cycling magazine, through his expert advice on truly any circuit.
The 2027 Kia Niro will start at $31,385, an increase of $2500 over the 2026 model year.
Kia has introduced a new S trim that slots in above the base LX variant and starts at $32,085.
The priciest 2027 Niro is the SX Touring, which now starts at $40,485, up $3200 over the 2026 model.
Kia refreshed the Niro for 2027, giving its subcompact hybrid SUV more modern styling, a reworked dashboard with larger screens, and a more capable highway driving assist system. Now Kia has released pricing for the 2027 Niro, and those upgrades come at a cost. Prices have risen across the board, with the base LX trim now requiring $31,385, up by $2500.
Two-door Accord variants were around since the beginning of the nameplate fifty years ago.
Honda hasn't built an Accord Coupe for nearly ten years, but a used one can be an interesting contrast to a plain-jane sedan.
The last generations of coupes were offered with an excellent V-6 engine, also missed from the Accord these days.
Like the sedan, the mainstream coupe is something of an endangered species these days, largely outnumbered by SUVs and crossovers on the roads. You might remember highways thick with the likes of Nissan 240SXs and Ford Probes, but now look around and you’re unlikely to see many two-door cars in your vicinity except for maybe a rental Mustang.
Welcome to the Jalopnik confessional, where fellow Jalops took to the commenter's booth and indulged fellow readers with their deepest, darkest desires — in the form of a car.
On Sunday, we asked you to share a car you secretly have always wanted to own, but are afraid to admit to. The cars you've all been harboring as potential one-days, "if and only if..." for various reasons as well as to avoid unending shame were not as incriminating as one might have imagined. Where are the Chevrolet HHRs, Chrysler PT Cruisers and Pontiac Azteks, folks?
Ever grab a hot steering wheel that's been baking in the sun? Now imagine if the hot steering wheel grabbed you and didn't let go. This is the sort of scenario people are dealing with as summer temperatures have made a popular kids' toy an unexpected hot car danger.
BMW’s move away from physical switchgear and toward screen dependence stems from younger buyers’ preference, according to one executive.
Vikram Pawah, the CEO of BMW Group Australia, told CarExpert that buyers under 45 prefer touchscreens and voice commands to physical controls.
The brand has been abandoning real buttons in recent generations, with the new Neue Klasse platform taking the script the furthest.
Step into the BMW iX3, and you’ll notice something is missing: real buttons. The climate controls are fettered to the center screen, as is nearly every other feature, save for a handful located in the center console—at least the window switches are still on the doors. BMW isn’t the only brand to increase its reliance on screens, but the arrival of the brand’s Neue Klasse platform heralds its most screen-dependent models yet.
Thanks to many documentaries, dramatic movies, and gratuitous video games, the typical member of the public knows a few things about World War II. One of those things is the sometimes spine-tingling mechanical rattle and report of an approaching tank (and its armored cohorts). What's more sinister than a tank? How about a tank that fires an indiscriminate screeching barrage of rockets? Not exactly the more personal message that a signed, sealed, and delivered high-explosive love letter from a 76.2-mm main gun sends, but still devastating and outright wild.
Vehicles built in Canada and sold in America could become considerably more expensive come January if President Trump follows through with his latest promise.
The U.S. President threatened to impose 50 percent tariffs on cars, light- and heavy-duty trucks, auto parts, and steel crossing the border from Canada.
The plan was announced after failed trade negotiations between Canada and the United States, aimed at reducing the impact of tariffs in place since April 2025.
President Trump on Monday promised to hike tariffs on the Canadian automotive sector to 50 percent come January 1, 2027. According to the president, the new tariffs would apply to cars and trucks—both light- and heavy-duty models—as well as auto parts and steel.
