YouTube Video RkxFQVRQOTVOTTdpRVJFWEJnRF94VFFRLjIyRDUzRTY3NUQ5MDYxNjk What actually makes a car beautiful in 2026?

It’s not horsepower.
It’s not screens.
And it’s definitely not spec sheets.

In this video, Nik Miles counts down the five most genuinely beautiful cars on sale in America right now — vehicles that get proportion, presence, and emotional design right in an era dominated by regulations, batteries, and efficiency targets.

From the near-silent elegance of the Rolls-Royce Spectre, to the unapologetic theatre of the Lamborghini Huracán STO, these cars prove that beauty in automotive design isn’t accidental anymore — it’s a choice.

Along the way, Nik uses the 717-horsepower BMW M5 Touring as a rolling studio to explain why beauty ages better than numbers, why wagons may be the last honest performance cars, and why some machines still make sense emotionally before they make sense logically.

If you care about design, presence, and cars that make you stop and stare — this one’s for you.

I’m Nik Miles — and I love my job.

The Toyota Camry has always been sensible. Reliable. Sensible again.
But the 2026 Camry Nightshade Edition quietly decided to look dangerous.

In this video, I break down 10 hidden and Nightshade-exclusive features that turn Toyota’s best-selling hybrid sedan into something genuinely cool—especially in red.

From the full blackout aero package and exclusive 19-inch wheels, to the blacked-out interior, gloss-black badges, and sport-grade details you don’t get on any other Camry, this is the version Toyota doesn’t shout about—but probably should.

And yes… feature number seven is the one that changes how this car looks from every angle.

If you’re shopping for a hybrid sedan but don’t want beige, boring, or forgettable in your driveway, this might be the Camry that finally makes sense.

I’m Nik Miles, and I love my job.

A rain-soaked, muddy-paw reality check on whether the Audi Q5 is actually livable with big dogs—especially with a light interior. I load in a 134-pound Labrador and put the Q5 through the stuff brochures skip: access, stability, flat-fold space, wipe-down materials, and how calm the cabin stays when your dog isn’t.

Marconi fully commits to the chaos by cutting even more isolated clips of Nik and Trish just to play them wildly out of context. Nik is bravely adjusting to “freezing” temps in the 20s and announces he has officially entered thermal underwear season, while Marconi checks in from Chicago at a casual 8 degrees and is absolutely not impressed. Plus, a full round of your questions in Ask Test Miles and a breakdown of the latest automotive news headlines, with the usual side of chaos. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
