New Honda Prelude: Hybrid Coupe Returns, but Lacks Manual Gearbox and Sporty Edge

The Honda Prelude has returned as a modern hybrid coupe, but reviewers note it feels more like an upmarket Civic than a reborn sports legend. The absence of a manual gearbox and a distinct sporty character disappoints many Honda enthusiasts. The car features a contemporary design and an efficient hybrid drivetrain, but falls short of the original's performance credentials.

Is the new Honda Prelude a worthy successor to the original legend?

Pistachio milk nails – soft pastel green is summer's biggest manicure trend

Pistachio milk nails are the latest nail trend featuring a very light, creamy, milky green inspired by pistachio drinks. The look fits the quiet luxury and clean girl aesthetics, favouring a soft, natural shade over bold colour statements. The hue is far from bottle green or neon — it is a gentle pigment softened by a white base, evoking a glass of pistachio milk.

Are pistachio milk nails worth trying this summer?

Using pumice without soaking feet first makes cracked heels worse, not better

🏥 Health

Using pumice without soaking feet first makes cracked heels worse, not better

Applying a pumice stone to dry feet without first soaking them causes the skin on heels to harden even more rather than soften. The critical step many people skip is soaking feet in warm water for several minutes before using the pumice, which softens the skin and prevents micro-abrasions. Regular moisturising after the treatment is equally important for lasting smooth skin.

2003's 'Cold Mountain' modernised The Odyssey 23 years before Nolan's film

Charles Frazier's 1997 novel "Cold Mountain" blended Homer's Odyssey with Civil War America, and director Anthony Minghella adapted it into an Oscar-winning film for Miramax in 2003. The film is being recalled as Christopher Nolan prepares his own Odyssey adaptation. It predates the better-remembered Coen Brothers film "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" (2000) in drawing on the same ancient epic.

Mortgage margins nearly flat in July as lenders hold back

July's variable-rate mortgage survey shows two banks raising margins and two cutting them, with most lenders making no changes at all. The slight overall decline in rates was driven mainly by falling WIBOR benchmark rates rather than any deliberate moves by the banks. The summer period appears to have brought a standstill in mortgage pricing competition.

Should banks be more proactive in cutting mortgage margins?
