2020 Honda Civic Si Road-Trip Review: Comfortably Sporty
Honda Civic Full Overview A lot of folks who aren’t car enthusiasts tend to believe you’re making a lot of compromises when you buy the sporty version of a car. Miserable ride quality, useless rear seats (if any), equally useless trunk, terrible fuel economy, and more. In some rather extreme cases, that’s true. It’s not true at all for the Honda Civic Si. I grew up in a rural area on the other side of the mountain from Silicon Valley, but it was plenty close enough to see the wealth that lived high in those hills. Back then, though, it was stealth wealth. At least to me. Sure, these people owned Ferraris and such, but they only took them out on weekends for a quick drive, a wash, and then back in the garage for the rest of the week while the BMW or Mercedes did comm...
Elation Hypercars Freedom Is a 1,900 HP Hyper-EV Hopeful
Hyperbolically powerful EVs are sprouting all over the automotive landscape like weeds these days. The Porsche Taycan Turbo S makes an already frankly ludicrous 750 horsepower, but the Lotus Evija, Rimac C2, and Tesla Roadster all have it beat. Now there’s a new player in the game. Elation Hypercars, an American-based “hyper-EV” company, has just announced its first project, and it’s as wild as you’d expect for a new player in this space trying to make waves. According to Elation the Freedom, their first car, will be powered by a 100 kWh lithium ion battery and four electric motors that will make up to (approximately) 1,903 horsepower. The battery is a T-shaped unit that’s integrated into the car’s chassis. If customers so desire, they can spec a 1...
2021 Mercedes-Benz Metris First Look: The Van Still Exists, Now With More Tech
We recently spent some time in the comfortable and well-equipped Metris Weekender, a camper van that arrives this spring. It was cool, mostly because it was a reasonably sized, classy camper. The Mercedes-Benz Metris van on which it is based is a little less flashy and lower-profile than the larger Sprinter work van, although for 2021, it receives a much-needed update with plenty of new tech. Okay, that new tech has limits. Open the 2021 Metris‘s doors, and you won’t find a glamorous widescreen display like those found in Mercedes-Benz’s upper-crust sedans and SUVs. Instead, the new Metris trades in its old 5.8-inch central display for a new 7.0-inch touchscreen with smartphone integration. The face-lifted Metris also receives high gloss black trim for the center con...
2021 Dodge Durango Scores Big Black Friday Discounts—For Four Days
Dodge’s long-serving yet somehow still relevant (and satisfying) three-row SUV, the Durango, was just refreshed for 2021 with updated styling inside and out, additional towing capability, and upgraded infotainment and tech options. And now all that freshness will be available with a pile of cash on the hood courtesy of Dodge’s “Power Dollars” incentive program. Well, provided the Durango you want is laying around a dealership sometime between November 27 and 30. That’s right: This Black Friday deal for in-stock examples only runs through the 2020 Thanksgiving weekend. The special is the same $10-per-horsepower discount we’ve come to expect through the “Power Dollars” program, which was started in 2019. The following discounts are available on...
I Know Thousands of Fashion Brands, But It’s These 10 That I Always Go Back To
As an editor at Who What Wear, I look at the collections of hundreds, if not thousands, of fashion brands in a year. I get emails and Instagram messages every day introducing me to new brands. However, when it comes to my own wardrobe, I tend to stay loyal to the same fashion brands that I know suit me and my personal style. Below, I’ve listed my top 10 brands, and what they all have in common is that they create beautiful pieces that are of a high quality and have a timeless aesthetic. As several warehouses and stores shuttered this year due to the global pandemic, the fashion industry has faced huge challenges and strains that pose an inevitable threat to businesses. Within my role as a fashion writer this year, I certainly haven’t wanted to make anyone feel like t...
I’m a Shopping Expert and I’d Never Buy These Items in the Sales
Love it or hate it, Black Friday week is here, bringing with it a slew of fashion brands trying to outbid each other in offering consumers the best discounts and deals. I would have complete sympathy if you’re someone who usually avoids the sales at all costs (lest we forget those apocalyptic scenes that grace the news headlines every November), but with this year’s sales being 100% digital, the landscape looks a little different. We might not have the heaving crowds, but we do have endless scrolling through page upon page of discounted products, and the issues that come with online shopping, such as sizing and delivery. As someone who has spent many hours scouring the internet to find the creme de la creme of the online sh...

Anthony Joshua vs Kubrat Pulev bout confirmed for December 12
Getty Images Unified Heavyweight Champion of the World Anthony Joshua OBE will defend his IBF, WBA, WBO and IBO World Titles against Mandatory Challenger Kubrat Pulev at The O2 in London on Saturday December 12, live on Sky Sports Box Office in the UK and on DAZN in all of its nine markets including the U.S., on a show promoted by Matchroom Boxing in association with Top Rank and Epic Sports and Entertainment.

December 12 will be ‘AJ’s’ first fight on UK soil in over two ...
2022 Porsche 911 GT3 First Ride Review: Big Talent
Porsche 911 Full Overview There’s the merest hint of a twitch, caught instantly with the tiniest flick of the wrists. Andy Preuninger keeps his foot down. The corner opens onto a short straight running between trees with hints of the red and gold and brown of autumn among the green. The tach needle swings past 8,000 rpm, a steely manic snarl behind us as Preuninger reaches for the shifter on the center console and plucks the next gear. “A Porsche 911 GT3 is like a human being,” he says, watching like a hawk for damp patches on the tarmac. “It likes warmth. It likes operating in the same temperatures we do, 15 to 25 degrees centigrade. When the dampers and the tires are cold it communicates that it’s not happy.” Andreas Preuninger’s anthropomorphism...

Victoria Beckham’s Work From Home Outfits Are Just as Chic as You’d Expect
Off duty is not a clothing style we typically associate with Victoria Beckham, though if 2020 has proven anything, it’s that we’ve all made adjustments on the fashion front. Once renowned for structured suiting and tailored dresses, Posh has altered her aesthetic considerably (much like the rest of us) now that she’s working from home. Taking to Instagram, Beckham has been sharing her WFH outfits lately, which appear to be a mix of chunky knitwear, wide leg jeans, button-down shirts and comfy co-ords. Though she is relying on classic wardrobe essentials, to keep things interesting, Beckham is opting for bright shades and block colour patterns, including stripe jumpers and contrast trim shirts. To truly emulate VB’s style, try wearing one of thes...
This Unlikely Knitwear Trend Has Become a Winter Staple
If you lived through the ’90s, the concept of a knitted vest might conjure up images of Chandler Bing sitting at Central Perk drinking an oversized coffee and making sarcastic comments amongst his friends. Though, fast-forward almost 30 years, and the once-stuffy clothing item now carries some very different connotations. As the cool-girl item of choice for editors and influencers, knitted vests have been given a decidedly fashionable makeover of late. The item was seen on the runways of Dior, Prada and Lacoste during the A/W 20 runway shows and has appeared in collections by buzzy brands including Ganni. From oversize cable-knit styles to patterned iterations with contrast colour trim, these are certainly not the same sweater vests you might remember from the &#...
