The Toyota Land Cruiser Is Dead, Long Live the Toyota Land Cruiser
When was the last time you saw a Toyota Land Cruiser? You can’t go a block without seeing multiple 4Runners, Highlanders, Tacomas, and RAV4s—or even the occasional Sequoia—but spotting any generation of a Land Cruiser is a rarity. For all its name recognition and iconic history, there just aren’t that many running around the U.S. And after the model-year 2021 iterations are built, there will be no new ones sold in America, at least for a while. See all 16 photos We first heard rumblings of the Land Cruiser’s demise in the States more than a year ago when multiple sources at Toyota hinted to MotorTrend that the Land Cruiser was in trouble. Although at the time Toyota PR officially denied any such possibility existed, the automaker has finally acknowledged that its legendar...

This “Boring” Jumper Makes Every Outfit Look So Much Chicer
My friends often joke that my wardrobe looks like a stock room. The reason? Because it’s filled with large quantities of the seemingly same item. From blue, straight-leg jeans and dark floral dresses to top-handle bags and checked skirts—what can I say? I know what I like! And the garment I have more of than anything else? Hands down, it’s got to be cream jumpers. Basic it may be, but in my opinion, there’s nothing that looks quite as chic as a cream jumper. Worn with the aforementioned blue jeans and checked skirts (or even over my dark floral dresses), barely a winter day goes by when I don’t wear cream knitwear. And it seems I’m not the only one. So many of my fashion friends have been wearing this staple of late, and to very stylish avail. Keep scrolling to see the coolest cream jumper...
This French Influencer Always Finds the Best High Street Pieces First
“The coat I always think looks the most expensive is, believe it or not, an oversized coat; especially if you’re wearing tighter clothes underneath like slim jeans. I know people are sometimes afraid to take a bigger size because they think the proportions will be way off, but sizing up from can make a huge difference to the overall silhouette. What I love about this trick is that it also makes it easier to layer with thicker knitwear while still feeling comfortable. That said, as well as oversized outerwear, this season, I’m also really loving the belted coat. I look for long options as they feel elegant. Whichever coat style you choose, again pay attention to the materials and make sure you’re buoy quality. Colour-wise, I always opt for neutrals like black, white, beige, brown, navy, and...

Report: Jack Ma’s Ant Group considers overhaul due to regulatory pressure
Chinese financial technology giant Ant Group plans reorganisation that would allow it to be regulated more like a bank, Bloomberg reports. Jack Ma’s besieged Ant Group Co. is planning to fold its financial operations into a holding company that could be regulated more like a bank, according to people familiar with the situation, potentially crippling the growth of its most-profitable units. The fintech giant is planning to move any unit that would require a financial license into the holding company, pending regulatory approval, said the people, who asked not be named because the matter is private. The plans are still under discussion and subject to change, the people said. Ant declined to comment. The operations that Ant is looking to fold into the holding company include wealth managemen...
2020 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Pros and Cons Review: Ultimate Track Tool
Porsche 718 Cayman Full Overview Pros Supreme balance Fantastic teacher Great track tool Cons Jittery suspension Tire noise Underpowered This car has all the makings of a Best Driver’s Car winner: engine mounted in the proper place directly behind the driver and revving to a glorious 8,000 rpm, a delightful manual shifter (unique this year), unflappable carbon-ceramic brakes with excellent pedal feel, and sticky Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires. This is a sports car that punches way above its 3,127-pound featherweight status. The 2020 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 lapped Laguna Seca quicker than a Ferrari 458, AMG GT 63 4Matic+, and various flavors of Nissan GT-R. Like any Porsche I have ever driven, I can tell it’s a Porsche in the way all of its controls have matched efforts and responses. N...

I Just Tried the 12 Most Iconic Lipsticks—These Are the Ones Worth the Hype
There are some questions that keep me up until the early hours of the morning. The one that seems to be recurring recently is, wondering how many lipsticks there are in existence. It’s impossible to even think of a realistic number. There are matte lipsticks, creamy lipsticks, satin ones, liquid, sheer. The list goes on. Not to mention that every brand will have up to 50 colours in each of these categories sometimes. That’s a whole lot of lipsticks. So, this leads us to our second question. Where does one even begin with choosing a lipstick? A shortcut to finding your next lipstick is by looking to the most popular ones. These are the best-sellers, the beauty icons and the classics. The ones that if you look at most lipstick-wearers lips and wonder what they’re wear...

2020 Porsche Cayenne Turbo Coupe Pros and Cons Review: Defying Logic
Porsche Cayenne Full Overview Pros Supercar performance Well-hidden weight Great fun to drive Cons Sick-pumpkin appearance High price It’s an SUV “How do you explain it?” I asked the Porsche PR man standing along the K-wall at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. Legendary wheelman/human lap timer Randy Pobst had just finished his hot laps in the 2021 Porsche Cayenne Turbo Coupe during our 2020 Best Driver’s Car, and something had gone, well, not quite right. Quite wrong some might even say. See, Porsche is owned by the Volkswagen Group, as is Audi, and Audi owns Lamborghini. At our 2019 BDC, Lambo’s Urus had set the SUV lap record at Laguna Seca, at 1:40.90. You maybe see where this is going. The Porsche, which stickers for $82,559 less than the Lambo, beat the U...
These Are the Only 2021 Nail Trends You Need to Know
Low-maintenance, sleek and effortless are the words that come to mind when you see someone with impeccable shiny nails and barely there colour. Luckily, we can all get in on this regardless of nail length. This is what Lebrat-Personnaz recommends for getting the look: “We have seen nail care growing in popularity during lockdown, as consumers have more time to take care of the condition of their nails. The Japanese Manicure, which we offer in our salons in France, consists of multiple steps for a full nail detox. Starting by buffing the nails to increase circulation (nails should develop a beautiful pink hue, almost like a blush) and finishing by applying a treatment to enhance the condition of nails and nail beds – plus enhancing the nails’ natural shine. The end result i...
