It doesn’t matter how much you believe EVs are not the future, you can’t deny the impact the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N has had on the performance EV market. With one humble family crossover-turned-hot-hatch (even if it’s not really a hot hatch), Hyundai’s N division proved to the world that EVs can be fun, even if they need to pretend to be combustion cars to do it.

In the months after Robert Prevost became Pope Leo XIV, in May 2025, he kept a relatively low profile. He fulfilled prescheduled trips to Turkey and Lebanon and released just one pontifical document, on the church’s love for the poor, begun by Pope Francis. But in 2026, Leo has come into his own with biblical messaging against war. At a Mass on January 1, after the Trump administration had killed more than 100 people by attacking boats in international waters in the preceding four months, the pope challenged policies undermining “diplomacy, mediation, and international law.” In an annual address to…
