It is a well-known fact that the average American does not master geography! And yet, these maps, filled out as a test by adult Americans, seem completely impossible!

This year's car show in Frankfurt - IAA 2019 made it clear to everyone that electricity is the "something" that will be written with capital letters in 2020. The hesitation is over and it seems that it has become irresistibly written into the strategies of all car manufacturers. Also due to the emission limitation and fines that manufacturers will have to pay already in 2021 for too "dirty" sales range. Volkswagen thus presented the Volkswagen ID.3, a car that many believe will be the first mass-market electric car and can replace the legendary Golf. Opel is sending the electric Opel Corsa to the market, the Land Rover Defender has become a mild hybrid... and you will only be able to buy the city Smart with an electric drive. 2020 is truly around the corner and it looks absolutely electrified. Let's look at some of the main "people" innovations and cars that you can start thinking about if you are going to buy a car in 2020.
Electric cars are knocking on the door en masse at the end of 2019. Virtually all manufacturers are feverishly electrifying their fleet. But we all ask ourselves a very relevant question: do we want electric cars and are we really electric car drivers?
Can you imagine? This is how futuristic the Volkswagen model e-fleet will look in a good three years
Rarely can the future be seen and felt as directly as at the International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt, where Volkswagen has, according to many, taken a crucial step. The Volkswagen ID.3 is on the market, and the price is so close to conventional vehicles with internal combustion engines that it is able to convince many people who thought the idea of an electric car was just too much. Its basic price will be lower than 30,000 euros. With various incentives and subsidies, it can go even lower. Into a field where an electric car is a completely logical choice.
Volkswagen literally changed the automotive industry many decades ago with the launch of the original Beetle, officially introduced back in 1938. And it seems that the ID.3 is the car that will be similarly important for the German company. It is the first serial and fully electric vehicle for mass, "people's production" of Volkswagen. In a way, the ID.3 is the "great-grandson" of the original Beetle, i.e. a car that will change the way electric cars are viewed and start a new era of environmentally friendly mobility for the Volkswagen brand.
Every time someone asks me for advice on what smartphone to buy, the LG G8s Thinq has always been on my shortlist of smartphones in recent months. It's simply the only phone that fills the niche between ultra-premium phones that cost €1,000 or more and those in the €700 range. So easy to offer the most for your money! That's also why it's my top pick in the "PRICE-PERFORMANCE" category! A phone that simply has everything and makes absolutely no compromises.
Sports smartwatches are actually great hybrids between full smartwatches and sports activity trackers. That's why every year we go on the hunt for the best sports smartwatches and present the ones we think are worth your attention and money.
In recent years, the exclusive cars on our roads have turned from an extravagance reserved exclusively for the wealthy into an object of desire, which is accepted with approval, a smile and a thumbs up by practically all road users. The growth of the economy, the availability of various sources of financing and diverse and flexible options for buying or renting a vehicle have enabled a wider circle of people to realize their dreams and afford their dream steel horse.
Smart watches live in two worlds. To the world of smart watches and the world of sports smart watches. Huawei has prepared an excellent hybrid with the Watch GT model.
In recent weeks, we have witnessed various presentations of supercars. The Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance is taking place these days, and various manufacturers are rushing to present various supercars. A Slovenian supercar was also among the super exclusive elite!
I am one of the lucky few in the world who gained enough trust from the manufacturers to compare the hottest smartphones of the moment: the Huawei P3 Pro and the Samsung Galaxy S10+. Even more than that. I used the phone for a long time and gave them a chance to convince me. At the end of this post, I want to get a winner, a phone that will fit in my right pocket.
808 horsepower, a V8 engine and a pinch of Le Mans legend.
