Nissan Armada Likely Stealing Titan Pickup’s Nine-Speed Gearbox Soon
Like the revised 2020 Nissan Titan pickup, the updated 2021 Nissan Armada sees its 5.6-liter V-8 engine’s power swell from 390 horses to 400. Torque, too, grows from 394 lb-ft to 413. Despite sharing its engine with Nissan’s full-size truck, the 2021 Armada full-size SUV does not adopt the Titan’s nine-speed automatic transmission. Instead, it maintains the same seven-speed unit as before. Nevertheless, it seems the Titan’s transmission is due to find a home in the Armada in the coming years. “The development timing didn’t work out to add the nine-speed to the [2021] Armada,” Nissan product planner, Brent Hagan, shared during a recent call with multiple media outlets, including MotorTrend. While Hagan noted that Nissan “[doesn’t] ...

Commit These Top Designer Jewellery Brands to Memory
On the whole, jewellery never goes out of style. No matter the decade or the trend, the unique designs of earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and rings have served as both statement pieces and daily accessories. Whether pearl, gold, silver, rose gold, diamond, or something else entirely, a good jewellery piece can stand alone, completing your outfit and adding the right amount of elegance and sparkle. As much as we love our day-to-day pieces, though, we’re always on the hunt for new ones to add to our collection, ones we will hopefully be able to pass on as family heirlooms. And so, more often than not, to acquire a piece that will outlast trends and generations, you have to invest in designer jewellery brands. Whether it’s a renowned Cartier Love Bracelet or a classic Mi...

The Best Fringes for Every Face Shape, According to a Celebrity Hairstylist
Getting a fringe cut in is a rite of passage in so many people’s lives, whether it’s done on a whim or after months of decision-making. Choosing your style is a big part of that journey, so a little bit of research never hurts. One of the benefits of fringes is how beautifully they frame your face, so it’s especially helpful to know what shape your face is. So, first things first: Identify your face shape (it’s easier than it sounds, promise). Now you’re ready for step two: choosing your look. We turned to Moroccanoil Celebrity Hairstylist Bryce Scarlett—a.k.a. the man Gigi Hadid, Margot Robbie, Brie Larson and pretty much every other A-lister trusts with their gorgeous hair—to help break down which fringe is best for each shape. Ahead, find your next hairstyle, along ...
2021 Jaguar F-Type Heritage 60 First Look: The Swingin’ Sixties Are Back!
British sports cars don’t come more iconic than 1960s MGs, Triumphs, and the like, cars from an era freewheeling and carefree enough to support a hazily positive view of the breed. These classics’ fun-loving nature was in lockstep with the ’60s Baby Boomer explosion of self-expression and protest. Never mind the fact that, as were British sports cars before and since, 1960s-era models were finicky, leaky, and diabolically unreliable. But one ’60s British sports car rose above the rest to become a legend: The Jaguar E-Type, a stunningly gorgeous symbol of speed and lust. Sixty years on from the E-Type’s 1961 debut, Jaguar is honoring its luminary with a special-edition F-Type coupe and convertible. See all 11 photos The Jaguar F-Type Heritage 60 special edition...
2021 Honda Accord Hybrid First Test: Skip the Big Wheels, Bask In the Excellence
Honda Accord Hybrid Full Overview More power doesn’t always translate to superior performance. Take the 2021 Honda Accord Hybrid for instance; does its class-leading power lead to a meaningful advantage in acceleration compared to the Toyota Camry and Hyundai Sonata hybrids? We track-tested the Honda to find out. And after our First Drive review, we also discovered two minor faults in what remains one of our favorite midsize family sedans. If you’re on the fence between a 2020 and 2021 Accord Hybrid, we’d suggest picking the newer model—and this is coming from a particularly frugal-minded MotorTrend editor. It’s not because of newly available wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto; it’s thanks to Honda’s adjustments to the way the car feels—and sounds—u...
2022 GMC Sierra 1500’s Super Cruise Offers Hands-Free(!) Towing
See all 17 photos Perhaps bigger news is that this will be the first Super Cruise application to support significant towing, at least next to the upcoming GMC Hummer. Details were not provided as to what specific engineering enhancements were required to allow incorporation of this technology, but it undoubtedly involves tapping into the stability-control system’s trailer-sway mitigation circuitry, plus sensors that detect trailer length for blind-spot monitoring. This will be especially crucial if, as expected, the system incorporates assisted, computer-executed lane changing as the version in the 2021 Escalade does. As to why the application is coming to the pickup trucks ahead of the recently renewed full-size 2021 GMC Yukon and Yukon XL, which continue to sell with an extremely r...
NISMO Wants to Restore Your Old Nissan GT-R—At an Exorbitant Price
Nissan seems to understand the importance of preserving important Skyline models, like the R32-generation one seen here, before it’s too late. That’s why the company recently launched an extensive restoration program through its NISMO division, as was first spotted by Japanese Nostalgic Car. Extensive enough to justify the cost, which is a few hundred thousand dollars? Let’s take a closer look and see. Remember, not too long ago Nissan announced it was putting some hard-to-find parts for R32 Skyline GT-Rs back into production. And the prices of Skyline GT-Rs are hitting new heights, too. This seems like the next logical step, producing like-new versions of classic Skylines replete with special build plates and an impeccable pedigree, for a suitable sum. And it’...
“The Year I Lost 100 lbs”: Carnage Celebrates Weight Loss
In what was a year to forget, Carnage found a way to celebrate it. Having only dropped two singles in 2020, “Hella Neck” with Tyga, Takeoff, and Ohgeesy and “Together,” a collaboration with The Martinez Brothers featuring Elderbrook and Mike Dean, it seems that the one they (used to) call Papi Gordo had set some goals adjacent to his music career. His health was clearly a priority, as the electronic music producer took to social media to share a photo in which he appears slimmer than the Carnage of yesteryear. “2020… the year I lost 100 lbs,” he exulted. Many of Carnage’s fellow artists and music producers jumped in the comment section to congratulate him on his inspirational journey. “Looking good king,” wrot...
This “DJ Pee Jug” Doesn’t Actually Exist, But It Should
Did you know that when DJs yell “1, 2, 3, jump” into the microphone, what they’re really doing is giving themselves a pep talk not to pee their pants? The DJ Pee Jug is a real product that allows DJs to relieve themselves during those marathon, peak-hour sets where they simply cannot stop playing bangers to take a bathroom break. Using the DJ Pee Jug and its patented “reservoir tip”—named for its resemblance to the end of a condom—they can now drain the dragon right there on stage via the unit’s attachable hose and receptacle. The brilliant minds behind the product, record label Deep Tech Los Angeles, also conceptualized a handy adapter for female DJs so they too can experience the DJ Pee Jug, which they claim is sanitary, leakproof, and easy to cle...
6 Jumper-Dress–and-Boots Combinations That Look Better Than the Rest
We might not have spent much time commuting or going out or spending time with friends this year, but the one thing I think we can all say we’ve done a lot of is walking—walking in the park, walking to your favourite coffee shop to get a takeaway, walking anywhere to get out of your house. While there hasn’t been much call for wearing fancy outfits in 2020, there’s one look that is ripe for wearing this winter that’s as chic as it is warm: jumper dresses and boots. It might sound like a super-simple outfit suggestion, and on the face of it, it is. But there are so many options out there that it’s far from boring. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been saving my favourite jumper-dress–and-boots outfits on Instagram to bring you a selection of differ...
