Las Vegas’ new Raiders stadium: Photos, memes, interior, exterior

By Deedra Mcgillivray 1 month ago

The coolest-looking NFL stadium out there is getting its debut on Monday night.

Allegiant Stadium, the new Las Vegas home of the Raiders, has taken months to build, and when it finally got close to its completed look, the attention paid to it was completely warranted.

There were photos of it all lit up, with illuminated piping around the exterior that gave it a Vegas-like feel, as if it was another neon sign on the strip. There were shots of it under the pink supermoon in April that made it look like an alien spacecraft that had landed in the

Best PS4 external hard drives 2020

By Deedra Mcgillivray 1 month ago

Looking for the best PS4 external hard drives in 2020? Then you’re in the right place. There’s no denying that the PS4 is a tremendous console, but it’s not exactly overflowing with storage – especially when you consider the sheer size of today’s top games.

Sony’s huge game library means that people will be playing the PS4 for years, and that means more storage is necessary. Happily, Sony is admirably open about adding capacity to the console, with accessible internals and support for external drives.

Not everyone will want to crack open their console, and it’s easy to use an

Amazon, Rivian reveal design of new EV electric delivery trucks

By Deedra Mcgillivray 1 month ago

The vehicles will begin delivering packages in 2021, and 10,000 electric delivery vans will be manufactured by 2022, Amazon said in a blog post. By 2030, 100,000 electric delivery vans will be in commission. The vehicles will be manufactured at Rivian’s plant in Normal, Ill., according to an Amazon spokeswoman.

The QX60 Monograph concept is a thinly veiled look at Infiniti’s next SUV

By Deedra Mcgillivray 1 month ago

You’re basically looking at the new Infiniti QX60.


Infiniti

Sometimes concept cars are wild, futuristic hot takes, designed to exhibit the outer limits of what’s technically possible in the automotive world. Other times, however, concepts give us a clear look at an upcoming production car. The new Infiniti QX60 Monograph is definitely the latter.

Making its debut Thursday, the QX60 Monograph concept clearly previews Infiniti’s next-generation QX60 crossover, due in 2021. The company isn’t offering anything in the way of mechanical or powertrain details right now — this concept doesn’t even have an interior, weirdly — and is instead using

Why your local Walmart will soon look like an airport

By Deedra Mcgillivray 1 month ago

Grounded fliers feeling nostalgic about walking through airports will find some solace in Walmart’s new store designs. The giant retail chain is getting inspiration from airports as it revamps the layout and signage of its stores to speed up shopping and better cater to smartphone-armed customers.

The nation’s largest retailer, based in Bentonville, Arkansas, said that the look, which includes signs with bold dimensional typeface spotlighting sections, is currently in one store. It will be rolled out to 200 stores by early next year, with plans to add another 800 stores by early 2022.

Do You Like the Look of the Jeep Grand Wagoneer Concept?

By Deedra Mcgillivray 1 month ago

While this is technically just a concept, it shows where Jeep is planning to go not just with the new Grand Wagoneer, but with other premium SUVs in the lineup to come. As such, you could argue that the Grand Wagoneer Concept and the production vehicle that will follow from it are perhaps the most important vehicles in the Jeep lineup after the Wrangler.

So how do you like it?

In a world where the BMW twin kidneys are starting to look more like twin pancreases, where Land Rovers look like Ford Explorers (or is it the other way around?),

By Deedra Mcgillivray 2 months ago

Things might be quiet inside the Akron Civic Theatre, but things outside are about to become a lot more exciting.

The historic theater in downtown Akron announced Tuesday, Sept. 15, that it is adding large-scale outdoor murals — by internationally known artists — to its surrounding area. The effort is part of the theater’s Staging the Future capital campaign aimed at beautifying downtown. The initiative comes as the city’s construction and transformation of Main Street is finishing up.

We’ve been shown prototypes thus far, but the Blue Oval has finally teased the front-end design of the real deal. The F-150 EV or whatever it will be called is going on sale in 2022 – most likely for the 2023 model year – and it will be made at the Rouge Electric Vehicle Center in Dearborn, Michigan.

The River Rouge Complex is a historical site for the Ford Motor Company, completed in 1928 when Henry Ford was still running the show. This is where parts of the Model T were also produced, but assembly took place at Highland Park.

Honda NSX Reimagined With Retro-Futuristic Exterior Design, Minimalist Cockpit

By Deedra Mcgillivray 2 months ago

The NSX was a ground-breaking design for its time, a mid-engine sports car unlike the Italian exotica of that era. Marketed under the Acura brand in the United States, the first generation is also beautiful thanks to some clever styling tricks.

As such, it’s easy to understand why the second gen wasn’t received well by the NSX community and pretty much everyone else. But at the same time, Honda would have been criticized if the newcomer would have been too close to the original in terms of exterior design. One can only dream, though…

2021 Hyundai HB20 Reimagined With All-New Tucson’s Exterior Design

By Deedra Mcgillivray 2 months ago

The i20 is Hyundai’s entry in the subcompact hatchback segment in Europe. Confusingly, a similarly-sized model is marketed as the HB20 in South America.
HB means Hyundai Brazil while 20 is the automaker’s nomenclature for a B-segment passenger car. Last redesigned a year ago, the HB20 has been Photoshopped into a far sexier means of personal transportation by Brazilian pixel artist Kleber Silva. The Tucson makeover gives the econobox a totally different look, but it would be wishful thinking to expect a facelift with these exterior styling cues.

You see, the HB20 is a low-cost car for emerging markets where

In early September, Volkswagen said it’d reveal the ID.4 before the end of the month. It hasn’t happened yet; however, a new teaser leaves little to the imagination. The video, highlighting the EV’s fast-charging capabilities, shows off the exterior with very little camouflage or distracting wraps. It’s the ID.4 in the metal, and we can see most of the bold design VW previewed in sketches at the end of August.
