All-Star NHL Goalie Marc-André Fleury Listens to Tiësto and Calvin Harris Before Games
A goalie all jacked up on Tiësto bangers is a scary opponent. An All-Star NHL goalie all jacked up on Tiësto bangers is a scary opponent. In a recent interview with Complex Canada, Vegas Golden Knights goalie Marc-André Fleury admitted that he blasts EDM before games to get pumped up before taking the ice. “I’m not too picky about my music, but usually going into the game I like something with some beats. I don’t know, more EDM maybe,” Fleury said. “I like Calvin Harris, Tiësto, stuff like that.” In the midst of the rekindled 2020 hockey season, which had been stifled due to the impact of COVID-19, Fleury recently tied the NHL record with his staggering 14th consecutive postseason appearance. It’s the longest active streak among any player ...

This Affordable Brand Has Been a Game Changer in My Summer Skincare Routine
Affordable skincare brands are really where it’s at, and with so many incredible ones on the market, when Glow Hub landed on my doormat, I didn’t know what to expect. There’s a new skincare brand popping up every few minutes and often mimicking one that’s gone before it, so I was interested to see what Glow Hub would bring to the table. A whole lot, that’s what. I love skincare, obviously. I wouldn’t be here making you read this otherwise, but sometimes it all gets a bit too serious. With complex-sounding ingredients and rules on how much, how often and how to apply, I needed a little injection of joy, and that’s what Glow Hub does best. The all-for-under-£12 collection is designed to be personalised, so you can pick the products that work for yo...
2021 Genesis G80 Improves Big Time on Old Model’s Fuel Economy
The all new 2021 Genesis G80 sedan broke cover earlier this year, and it immediately caught our eye. Its new face, swooping roofline, and overall good looks made a sparkling first impression. Of course, what’s underneath the fabulous sheetmetal matters too, and today we finally know what kind of fuel economy the all-new mid-size luxury sedan will offer. <!– –> Two engine choices will be on offer when the new G80 finally reaches U.S. shores. Even though power figures are still under wraps, the EPA-estimated fuel economy gives us our first good idea of how the newest entrant in the luxury mid-size sedan segment will stack up against its competition. Both engines will come with an eight-speed automatic gearbox as the only transmission option. The smaller engine is a 2....
Rivian’s R1T EV Truck Is the Unsung Hero of Ewan McGregor’s New TV Show
You know that the MotorTrend App is completely stuffed with amazing adventure driving shows such as Dangerous Roads and Idris Elba: No Limits, right? We think we have the greatest car shows around, but we’re also down to tell you about particularly exciting things happening outside of the MotorTrend App universe. Take the new Charlie Borman (who incidentally is featured in a Dangerous Roads episode) and Ewan McGregor show Long Way Up, a sequel to the fantastic Long Way Round and Long Way Down miniseries. The premise has always been somewhat the same: put Ewan and Charlie, old friends who love adventure travel, on the back of two huge and heavily laden adventure bikes and send them around the world or across a continent. Predictably, Long Way Up follows a similar setup, and it takes place m...
My Summer Skincare Routine is a Game-Changer, Thanks To This Affordable Brand

Autumn Winter 2020 Trends: The New Fashion Looks You Need to Know
The autumn winter 2020 fashion shows in February fell just before lockdown restrictions were put in place in Europe—since these collections were presented the fashion industry has not only faced huge challenges, but how we all get dressed has also changed significantly. The season was divided into two distinct camps—on one side was fantasy couture-like creations designed for extravagant social lives, and the second was a continued shift towards wearable, classic pieces. While the Villanelle-style evening gowns are beautiful to look back at, with an uncertain six months ahead of us and parties still on hold, for this autumn winter 2020 trend report I’m focusing on the pieces I think people will actually buy into over the next six months. The word ‘trend’ is now a dirty word in fashion circl...
Suzuki Jimny Black Bison Edition Is a Jeep, Bronco, and Land Rover Mashup
Along with the Ford Ranger Raptor, the Suzuki Jimny is one of the most desirable off-road vehicles we don’t get here in the U.S. And while the Jimny is typically known for its spartan rugged charm, the folks at Japanese outfitter Wald International have made the little 4×4 flashier with additional off-road design cues and a posh interior. Up front, the Suzuki Jimny Black Bison Edition features a new grille with headlight covers. The front bumper receives new LED lights, and additional lighting elements can be found on the roof. A special aero hood adds to the more aggressive look. In the rear, there is a new bumper panel and spoiler. It’s also hard to ignore the beefy overfenders and the off-road-ready tires. Inside the cabin, Wald is offering plenty of luxury. Along with quilted-patt...
1957 Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR First Test
With the recent reveal of the 2021 Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series, we thought now would be a great time to revisit the AMG GT’s legendary predecessor. From our April 1957 issue, here’s our First Test of the legendary Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR. Every time Daimler-Benz returns to racing, success is achieved by a single-minded concentration of effort and resources, giving the appearance of inevitability. The cars, which open up new perspectives in design for high performance, are retired to places in the Daimler-Benz museum at Untertürkheim, and it is a rare occasion when the opportunity arises to study a design in detail. In the case of the famous World Championship Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR, the veil has been lifted. In the spring of 1956, a few of us sat in the sun outside the elegant Schloss Solit...
Some of the Best Hotels We’ve Ever Been to Are on Brit Soil
Our homes have become so much more than the place we retire to at the end of the day. Over the last few months, they’ve morphed into our offices, our gyms, our coffee shops. So it’s little wonder that most of us are itching to get away from them (albeit temporarily), and explore different surroundings; to relax in a new space. But with a big question mark still looming over lots of overseas destinations, staycations are proving to be all the more appealing—particularly those in our glorious British countryside. With mountains and rivers and lakes and forests, our countryside boasts a bountiful array of places to discover, but that’s not the only reason to stay on home soil. Dotted across the country are some of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed in. While they’...
