Mercedes-Benz C-Class: History, Generations, FAQs
Mercedes-Benz C-Class Essential History: Generation One The Mercedes-Benz C-Class, also known by its internal code name, W202, rolled onto the American car scene in late 1993 as a 1994 model, replacing the 190E (W201) as the brand’s compact offering. The rear-drive C-Class was initially offered in four-cylinder C 220 (147-hp) and six-cylinder C 280 (194-hp) variants, with the numbers denoting engine displacement (i.e. 2.2 and 2.8 liters). The 268-hp C 36 AMG model joined the lineup for 1995; at the time, the C 36 was converted—engine and all—from a factory-built C 280. The year 1997 saw a torquier 2.3-liter engine for the entry model, now called C 230, while the C 36 was bumped to 276 hp and added a fifth cog to its automatic transmission. The AMG model was cut for ’98, but the...
Interested in a Certified Used Car? These CPO Programs Are the Best
Buying a used car can save you lots of money—or be a massive headache. How can you really know what that vehicle went through before the keys became yours? Buying through a certified pre-owned program is a great way to increase peace of mind. But CPO programs aren’t all created equal. So how can you know which ones are the best? Trust the experts at IntelliChoice (a MotorTrend subsidiary). What Are the Best Certified Pre-Owned Programs for 2021? To determine its 2021 CPO winners, IntelliChoice takes nine factors into account: vehicle inspection, warranty, title verification report, availability of special financing, roadside assistance, return and exchange provisions, dealership compliance systems, ownership costs, and market penetration. Since vehicle inspection and warranty matter ...
I Hate to Break it to You But 2021 Is Set to be the Year of the Croc
Fashion has a habit of trolling us with outrageous garments. Crotchless trousers, see-through jeans, ridiculously expensive designer paperclips—all of the aforementioned are very real items sold in the not too distant past. But I’d wager no piece garners as much controversy as the Croc. They are undeniably a divisive topic of conversation and easily the most Marmite shoe of the modern world. I hate to break it to you but they’re making a comeback for 2021, and I know a lot of people aren’t going to be happy about this. When researching this piece, I decided to ask our readers over on the So… Should I Buy This? Facebook group if they love or loathe Crocs and almost unanimously over 60 people replied loathe. Or, as one member so eloquently put it “The ...
If You’re Looking For an Investment Coat, I Would Recommend These 8 Styles
In fashion terms, there is something uniquely potent about the power of an investment buy—an item of clothing that is able to hold its value and beauty and keep us coming back for more, season after season. In a world of micro-trends, next day delivery and more shopping options than one could ever need, the gentle plod of a timeless piece is not to be underestimated. For the weather-beaten Brit, the coat has to be one of the items of clothing that carries the heaviest load in our wardrobes, as it needs to get us through at least 6 months of the year (if not more) and must be warm enough to keep out the chill while still looking the part. Perhaps more so than other bits in our wardrobe, a coat is also an item that is least likely to be swept up in the changing tides...
The Winter Dress That French Girls Have Loved Forever
It wasn’t until I bought a Nanushka jumper dress last year that I realised how incredibly chic they were. I don’t know what was putting me off. Maybe I was just buying ones that were too thin or didn’t fit my body type. I was hesitant about trying what in my mind was a formfitting garment. But lo and behold, my mind has changed. Especially when I realised that jumper dresses are the chic winter dress that French women love to wear. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

6 Perfect Christmas Day Outfits for Every Dress Code
There are some big question marks over Christmas this year, as office parties and group gatherings aren’t on the cards, and the restrictions will make Christmas week look a little different than usual.

Whether you’ll be celebrating with Zoom calls or with friends and family at home, the below ensembles will make you feel a little special, whatever you have planned. People have very different ideas about what a Christmas Day outfit should look like. Some dress up in silks...
I Have a Feeling This Affordable Skincare Brand Will Take Off In 2021
Comprising of just six products, the brand has taken a simple but efficacious approach. All too aware that the market is saturated and confusing enough, PSA keeps things clear, concise and foolproof. Not only are the products labelled up with numbered steps so you know exactly what order to apply them in, they also clearly outline on the packaging the key active ingredients, what results they promise and simple to follow instructions. It’s great skincare made easy. Much like Drunk Elephant, PSA products are formulated without a bunch of skin-damaging ingredients commonly found in mass-market formulas. With no silicones, sulfates, drying alcohol, mineral oil, chemical screens, essential oils or synthetic dyes and fragrances, PSA is basically a dream for those with sensitive skin. But t...

Next Year I’m Going to Use More and More of These Refillable Beauty Products
How do you recycle your beauty empties? For those who have attempted to discard used mascara tubes, plastic applicators and old eye-shadow palettes, you’ll know there’s no simple answer. Most beauty packaging ends up on the rubbish tip, and back in 2018, a report by Zero Waste Week found that the beauty industry produces a shocking 142 billion pieces of packaging each year. As beauty lovers continually become more conscious about the environment, it was only a matter of time before brands started to take notice and, most importantly, improve their sustainable options. Refillable beauty products—with packaging that can be used more than once—has become one answer to the beauty industry’s waste issue. It’s certainly not going to solve all problems overnight, but is a small step th...
It’s Official: This Is the Chicest Colour You Can Wear This Winter
If there’s one word that summarised 2019’s style aesthetic, it would have to be beige. Instagram went wild for the shade, with feeds filling up with earthy-hued snapshots. Meanwhile at fashion week, the pavements were strewn with stripped-back ensembles in 50 shades of, you guessed it, beige. Now, I’m going to sound very “fashion” right now, but 2020 has seen a shift in the colour-trend stakes, and we’re seeing a new hue come to the fore. This autumn, it’s all about pale beige. (To quote The Devil Wears Prada, “It’s a tough call. They’re so different.”) The trick is to apply the same principles as you did to last year’s deeper shades of beige. Head-to-toe is the way to go. WeR...
H&M’s Conscious Collection is the Best Fashion Edit I’ve Seen All Year
We all know that when it comes to fashion and sustainability, the solutions presented aren’t always flawless, and while the high street has a way to go in improving its practices, we can’t deny that H&M is one of the brands pushing for development in this area. Described as ‘an incubator for new materials and innovations’ every year H&M’s Conscious Collection has pushed the boundaries of closed-loop production, developing fabrics that they then integrate into their mainline collections. Twenty-twenty is no different, and the brand’s latest Conscious edit is an ode to the creativity possibilities that come when design and sustainability meet. You Deserve to Make Money Even When...
Latest Bugatti Chiron Spinoff Pays Homage to the Dawn of French Aviation
The whole point is to honor France’s daredevils of the sky. Keep in mind that, while Ettore Bugatti was still running his own car company, air travel was just starting to be explored. French fighter pilots like Adolphe Pégoud and Roland Garros (Google them) were pushing the limits of what could be done in planes during World War I, and French commercial flight was in its infancy. Taking to the skies was no small task in the 1920s and even into the late 1930s. See all 11 photos Only 20 of the special, sky-themed Chirons will be made and they will all be based on the Chiron Sport. The model is painted a matte grey with a gloss white stripe running down the middle, and the grille’s mesh pattern has been reshaped to resemble planes flying in a parade formation. The a...
