Sedans typically don't beat pulses, but Jaguar's new XF
Sportbrake is more of a no-nonsense sports car than anything else. Short, curvy
and powerful, it has the beauty and purr appeal to satisfy the midlife crisis,
with enough useful features to justify the purchase. There's plenty of boot

Before your beer barbeque sessions can begin, it is wise to
bring some grass and control to your backyard. For a

GAZELLE ULTIMATE T9 HMB
In the summer, most travelers smell ham left in a heater for
16 years. And while biking to the office is a solid way to deflect the stench,

offerings from the Dutch brand Gazelle take some of the load and take you to
the dry board. Available in Gazelle,
ORIGINAL XBOX CONTROLLER
For anyone without hands the size of goalie gloves, the
original Xbox controller was a button press of beastly proportions. Still, the

limited series later this year. Available later this year from Hyperkin, price
to be confirmed.

SMART PHONE LG G6 +
With a name like "more", it's fair to expect a lot
"more" from LG's updated G6 model. And the South Korean firm's
flagship phone certainly offers: more storage, more sound, more colors, and
tons of additional features like wireless charging and

just by looking at it. Available from July at LG, price to be confirmed.
COFFEE TABLE ZAHA HADID DESIGN PRINCESS LEIA
In addition to being an intergalactic pin-up, Princess Leia,
