When working on a vehicle, it’s always less of a headache to order parts and not have to wonder whether they’re faulty or not. Or, more importantly, whether they’re even the brand on the listing. But two websites recently got caught allegedly faking brands, and they’re now under seizure by the U.S. government.

Betteridge’s Law of Headlines would say the answer to that headline is “no.” But with the Porsche Boxster becoming the new 718 Boxster and getting a more powerful turbocharged flat four to replace its old naturally-aspirated flat six, the answer could be “maybe” this time.

Yesterday we reported on a 630,000-vehicle recall in Germany after testing revealed that automakers were taking advantage of a “legal loophole.” Now we have a little more information on that loophole, as a new Reuters report says that the loophole has to do with preventing rust in the catalysts.

On Friday Japan became just the fourth nation to test-fly its own stealth jet, the homegrown X-2 prototype fighter.

If a backmarker falls off the timing screen, do they make a sound? Formula One did not have the issues IndyCar had with timing and scoring at Long Beach last weekend, but according to Motorsport.com’s live blog of the Chinese Grand Prix, they somehow lost track of the Manor car of Rio Haryanto for a bit.

When most people think of a rally co-driver, they immediately think of the person sitting shotgun, shouting out all sorts of letter and numbers, potentially including obscenities, while the driver goes flat-out down a mountain road.

Charli XCX’s “Vroom Vroom” is a typically delectable pop number, and as always the video delivers. Decked out in a latex bodysuit that resembles a high gloss paint job on a sports car, she sings and semi-raps about how no one can touch her in this pop world—cause baby, she’s much too fast.

The Detroit Free Press just published compensation figures for the CEOs of GM, Ford and Fiat-Chrysler. And let’s just say: if you’re a Bernie Sanders supporter, you might want to look away.
