An Early Look at the 2023 Toyota Prius Prime XSE Premium

Toyota has just revealed its latest Prius Prime model for 2023 and, with its clear restyling and hybrid performance improvements from the previous generation, it could be the new choice for the discerning car consumer in a "sea of electricity."The all-new Prius – which was announced earlier this year – arrived with fanfare around its substantially new design, and the Prime maximizes itself in the looks department. To summarize, the Prius Prime is sleek, with a radically raked front windshield that's more "sports coupe" than "efficient city car." A sloping rear roof that drops off suddenly at the hatch lip gives an almost boxy-yet-futuristic angle to the rear, while a flat rear bumper complements the front's near-90º angled fascia.

With Golf Clubs in Hand, J.R. Smith Rewrites His Narrative

Jaguar’s F-Type R 75 Marks the End of an Era

When we think of Jaguar sports cars, generally, the legendary E-Type is what springs to mind. Under that swooping body and long nose hid either a V6 or V12 engine, while coupé or convertible formats allowed for a customizable driving experience. But before the E-Type came the XK120, Jaguar’s answer to a world that – post-war – prescribed to a “bigger is better” ethos. As such, it was the world’s fastest production car in 1948, thanks to its 120 MPH top speed – hence the name. The XK120 was conceptualized during a difficult period for the UK, but that didn’t stop Jaguar from showcasing its expertise and creativity. The result wasn’t just record-breaking performance figures, but a car that was elegant and technologically advanced. In turn, it became one of the most desired cars of its period...
