Essentially Brand-New 1983 Volkswagen Beetle from Mexico Asks Fifty Grand
Only on Craigslist can you find a pile of junk for free, a lost and found advertisement for a cat named “Taco,” an apartment rental, and a haiku discussion forum. Often the place of strange listings, Craigslist also is where a 1983 Volkswagen Beetle with only 122 miles on the odometer is currently listed for sale. According to the listing, the Mexican VW Beetle is in superb condition, complete, and original—so much so that the seats still have the factory plastic coverings. Also included in the sale are the owner’s manuals, tool kit, a full-size spare, temporary registration, and two sets of keys. The asking price for this Craigslist hidden gem is a not-insignificant $49,975. See all 15 photos The car was first purchased brand new at a dealership in Tijuana, Mexico, ...
Hyundai Heritage Series Pony First Look: The 1980s Hatch Remastered
Grab a saddle, because Hyundai’s got a Pony that’s just begging for a ride. The company’s Heritage Series Pony is a chic and contemporary take on its first foray into the automotive space. This Pony hatchback, though, is more than just a restomod with a modern electric heart—it’s also a piece of art. Yes, Heritage Series Pony is but one piece in a larger exhibition called “Reflections in Motion,” which is currently on display within the walls of Hyundai Motor Studio Busan in South Korea. While the exhibit features multiple works, its limelight seems to shine brightest on the ’80s-tastic Heritage Series Pony. See all 28 photos After all, what’s not to love about this small electric hatchback that combines classic styling with trendy design det...
How Does the 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV Compare to an H2?
Hummers are big, right? Duh, you’re thinking, that’s not news. Always were, always will be. It’s not, and you’re right: the 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV is a big, big vehicle—just like its unabashedly, proudly oversized predecessor, the 2003-2009 Hummer H2. Debuting just a few years after the first-generation Toyota Prius, the first non-military Hummer was a lightning rod for controversy, as its size (and more importantly, thirst) were outsized. The GMC Hummer (mostly) sidesteps the latter issue with a fully electric powertrain, but it’s still a massive brick of a machine. Comparisons will be made—by us, right now. And the results, if you haven’t already examined the dimensions section of the spec sheets, might surprise you. See all 123 photos While vehicles h...
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Just Wore the Perfect Legging-and-Sandal Combo
This week, many of us will be thinking about our “re-entry” outfits, as restaurants and shops open for the first time in the UK since December. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was photographed in New York yesterday wearing the perfect outfit that was both polished and casual. She wore a pair of split-hem leggings by The Row, which she dressed up with a pair of strappy black heeled sandals by Bottega Veneta. This outfit is a perfect mixture of smarter items like heels and a structured, oversize trench coat by Bottega Veneta with casual staples like a T-shirt and black leggings. As one of Bottega Veneta’s most loyal fans, she showed her dedication by carrying not one but two handbags. She had the iconic Pouch bag tucked under her arm while she carried one of the huge Sh...
If You Love Denim, You Need to See This Perfect Co-Ord From Whistles
The edit features a number of cool patchwork pieces, but it was one particular co-ord which immediately set my pulse racing. The boxy shacket and jeans can either be worn together as a statement co-ord, or separately as an easy way to liven-up your wardrobe basics. Both come with tonal denim patches that manage to feel distinctive without falling into the ‘hippy chic’ aesthetic that can sometimes be associated with patchwork.

MG Shows Off Electric Cyberster Sportscar Concept for Shanghai Show
See all 8 photos MG’s new Cyberster concept isn’t the cute and charming compact sportscar its predecessors were. Designers at the MG Advanced Design Centre team opted for a future-forward appearance rather than one stuck in the past. The front fascia appears to take more inspiration from Spiderman’s anti-hero Venom than the brand’s historical models. The Cyberster concept is aggressively futuristic, with big dual fairings flowing behind the floating headrests on the rear deck, and a cockpit that looks like it’s right out of Cyberpunk 2077. The rear end has taillights inspired by the Union Jack and an illuminated “heckblende” that stretches from one side of the car to the other. MG calls the LED accent line that runs from the front wheel arch to the...
2022 Bentley Continental GT Speed Convertible First Look: A Million Miles of Headroom
Mechanically, the GT Speed ‘vert is identical to the coupe that broke cover earlier in the year. The big change is the addition of a folding soft-top instead of the regular Speed’s swept roof. Power (650 hp) and torque (664 lb-ft) from Bentley’s twin-turbo 6.0-liter W-12 stays the same in the drop-top as it does in the coupe. The same goes for the Speed’s impressive 208-mph top speed. The trot 60 mph does take 0.1 seconds longer compared to the coupe, though, rising from 3.5 to 3.6 seconds. All the go-fast tech from the coupe that’s been added to the Speed to tame its additional power and torque is here, too. The GT Speed Convertible employs the same four-wheel-steering system that turns the rear wheels in the opposite direction—for the sake of agility—at low ...
I Just Found 19 Expensive-Looking COS Buys for Under £100
But really, I shouldn’t be surprised because COS has long been a champion of cutting-edge, affordable design. You only need to scroll through the brand’s new-in section to see that it is full of purse-friendly buys that will look amazing season after season and year after year. To show you that you don’t need to spend three figures to find beautiful, hard-working wardrobe heroes, I’ve created an edit of my favourite COS buys, which all cost less than £100. On my wishlist is everything from minimalist summer dresses (this linen number will look just as good on a holiday as it will in a city park) and classic Breton tees to versatile jeans and elevating accessories. I’m most excited by the open-collar belted playsuit which, in my opinion, could so easily be mist...
I Always Wear These 2 Trainer Styles With Dresses
When you wear a dress, you make a decision that you want it to be the standout part of your whole look. It’s not an outfit, it’s a dress. For this reason, when discussing which trainers go with dresses, it’s all about finding the right sneakers that blend into the background. They want to look great too, of course, but they can’t take centre stage—that is reserved for your dress. As someone who has had a long love affair with sneakers, and has recently built up their dress collection, I’ve come to the conclusion that there are two main trainer styles that work with every dress in your wardrobe. It sounds like a small selection, but hear me out: You only need a couple of styles of sneakers that’ll look really great with your dresses. No need to endl...

6 Cool Jeans Outfits to Break You Out of Your Style Rut
Blue skies might be more commonplace than they were a month ago, but don’t be fooled—it’s still cold out. As much as we’d like it to be bare-leg weather, it seems we’re still a few weeks away from being able to step out sans layers and lengths. But we’re not letting a little cold snap stop us from dressing more springlike, and we’re certainly not going to revert to our winter wares. Instead of floaty dresses and slip skirts, we’re building our latest looks around jeans. Jeans are timeless, easy to style and comfortable, and the outfit options are endless, making them the perfect day-to-day throw-on. However, if you feel like your denim ensembles are becoming a tad repetitive, we’re here to help break you out of the rut. We’ve found...
2021 Lexus LX570 Review: Overdressed for Off-Roading
The Toyota Land Cruiser is dead. Long live the Lexus LX570. Should anybody miss America’s Most Expensive Toyota? Should we rightfully be singing hosannas because this snazzy Lexus version only costs $995 more to start (or even $1,335 less than the last Land Cruiser Heritage Edition we sampled)? Maybe not. Is the Lexus LX570 Luxurious Enough? Luxury has been liberally applied to this gussied Toyota Land Cruiser in the form of shiny zebrano-like walnut wood veneers, red perforated semi-aniline leather seats, and lovely stitched materials adorning the dash, door uppers, and center console. And yet the legacy architecture hamstrings the LX570 with old-fashioned artifacts like the small, low-resolution info screen between the analog dials and the generations-old infotainment display that ...
