VW Finally Reveals When Its ID 4 EV Hits U.S. Shores
Kicking off Volkswagen’s renewed electric vehicle offensive in the United States is the ID 4, a small crossover that will sit on a new dedicated EV platform. And it’ll be here before you know it, with the first U.S. deliveries scheduled to begin before the end of the year. Ahead of its arrival, VW is revealing a few more details on the ordering process. Following in the footsteps of other electric vehicles, the Volkswagen ID 4 will be available for pre-order. Interested buyers will be able to make a fully refundable $100 deposit to get the process started. This reservation holds your spot in line to order one of these EVs. Another $400 deposit locks in your configuration with your preferred dealership, although this is ultimately refundable as well. You’ll be able to trac...
Your Next Ford Vehicle Might Autonomously Valet Park Itself
See all 4 photos We’ve sat in lots of cars that have valet parked themselves. Most have leaned on sensors, software, and computing power onboard the vehicle to perform this task. You drive into a structure, exit the vehicle, call up the car’s smart-phone app or press a button on the key remote, and the vehicle senses its surroundings, drives at low speed through the structure, finds an open parking space, and pulls into it. When you hail its return, it reverses the procedure. This is a lot like level-five autonomy—with the hardware and software costs that portends—but in a confined space at ultra-low speeds, which lowers the liability concerns considerably. Bosch aims to accelerate adoption of such automated parking by pulling that sensing and communicating power out of the veh...

4 Dress Trends You’re Going to See Everywhere This September
While I personally love to savour every last minute of summer, it has come time to accept that autumn is just around the corner. And although I am not particularly enthused about the idea of cooler weather, I have to admit I am quite excited by the prospect of trying all of the season’s new trends. When it comes to dresses there are a few themes we are already starting to see come through for autumn, whether it be thanks to the A/W20 runways or outfits we’ve spotted on social media. Statement collars and colourful checks are among two of the most popular looks we are already seeing, with brands including Ganni, Baum und Pferdgarten and Stine Goya partaking in the trends. Slim-fitting knitted dresses are also quite prominent this season, which can be traced back to Ja...
I Think This Dress Length Is the Easiest to Wear With Boots
I don’t have a fashion crystal ball, sadly, so I can’t tell you what the state of the world will be come a few weeks time. But, you know what I can tell you? In little under a month, we’re going to be in autumn and that, my friends, is what I like to call midi dress time. For starters, it’s the best length whatever your height. It’s also great for the slightly warmer autumn days, but also a great option for cooler months too. What I’m saying is, and there’s no fighting me on this, the midi dress reigns supreme. Hands down, it’s also the best frock to wear with boots. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be.

These Are The Product Swaps To Make for Your Autumn Skincare Routine
Everyone’s favourite season is fast approaching and while it’s serving as an unwelcome reminder of just how fast this year is going, there’s some good news. It’s time for autumn skincare (cue applause), and no this isn’t a ploy to get you to spend more money on your face. I’ve always swapped out my skincare whenever I sense that the temperature is about to decline. There’s nothing like a metaphorical slap in the face courtesy of a gust of wind, to remind me that my light moisturiser isn’t going to cut it. It’s not just a personal preference either, as rethinking your skincare routine for autumn has some serious skin benefits. First of all, with the sun exposure, sweat, inflammation and dehydration from travelling we pro...
2021 Polestar 2 First Test: How Does it Stack up Against its Tesla Rivals?
The automotive establishment’s answer to Tesla’s mainstream-budget electric-vehicle offerings, the Model 3 and Model Y, is about to hit the market in the form of the 2021 Polestar 2. For those of you who wouldn’t know a Polestar from a pole vault, the 2 is an all-electric vehicle from an upstart division of the Sino-Scandinavian conglomerate Geely Auto Holdings—better known as Volvo’s parent company. The Polestar 2 is sized and configured to strike between Tesla’s compact sedan and SUV with a tall hatchback body and dual-motor all-wheel-drive performance that aims to land somewhere between the base and performance variants of the popular Teslas. Should Elon Musk be worried? Is the Polestar 2 Faster Than the Tesla? See all 73 photos Tesla made its bones by show...
Get a Load of These Crazy and Rare Spare Parts at the Elkhart Collection Auction
Following the scandal surrounding Indiana businessman Najeeb Khan and his alleged $100-million fraud case, his impeccable and equally eclectic collection of cars is crossing the auction block later this fall in hopes of paying back at least some of the absconded funds. It’s an understatement to say this RM Sotheby’s auction, dubbed the Elkhart Collection for the Indiana location of Khan’s former company, is one of the finer vehicular collections to be sold en masse; any auction house would be over the moon to fill a docket this lavishly from an assortment of different owners, never mind the chance to offer a plug-and-play collection all in one sale.

If You Hate Fluoro, You’ll Love These Minimalists Sports Brands
I’m a strong believer in finding workout gear you genuinely love and feel good in, otherwise how are you going to get the motivation to do the exercise? It’s a rule I stick to. Now, over the past few years, there’s been a real influx of bold, brightly-coloured workout gear and you know what? Not everyone’s on board. If you’re all about the pared-back, minimalist aesthetic out of the gym, you’re probably all about that vibe when you’re on the treadmill too. So, if you’re not a fan of fluoro and leopard print, which brands can you turn to for a more simple workout look? You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

The High-Street Cardigans To Have On-Hand This September
According to global fashion search platform Lyst, there has been a 6% increase in searches for cardigans in London week on week, which is no surprise considering many of us are spending a lot more time in our homes and in need of a fashion-based comfort blanket. Out of all our knitwear options, cardigans arguably have the greatest nostalgic associations, and while they might remind us of our school days, 2020’s high-street iterations are anything but childish. The ideal throw-on layer for the changeable British late summer, I’ve been wearing mine when sat at my desk and in need of warming or an extra layer, or when the temperature drops in the evening.

How 360-Degree Camera Systems Turn You Into a Parking Pro
Small accidents can be the most frustrating. Whether it’s scraping a wheel on a curb, tapping a bumper on a pole, or opening a door into a wall, low-speed parking impacts can cause minor yet massively annoying damage. Backup cameras are now mandatory on new vehicles, but more visibility is always better. To that end, some automakers install 360-degree camera systems to give a complete view of your surroundings. What is a 360-Degree Camera in a Car? A 360-degree camera system in a car provides you with a real-time view of the area surrounding your car. The 360-degree camera tech combines the perspectives of several video cameras placed around the vehicle into one image, typically a top-down view. As you maneuver into a parking space, the 360-degree camera system shows nearby obstacles...
