LFA vs. IS F in "Cecilia Alcott" territory

Lexus LFA vs. Lexus IS F
in Bruntingthorpe


Sorry for the irony on the title why I called it "Cecilia Alcott" territory because the Lexus LFA in Pearl Blue and the Lexus IS F wearing "Blue Tears" colors (whoops, another irony) showing off their skills at Bruntingthorpe, UK. (Oh, that's why you called it "Cecilia Alcott territory" because of that darn Brit chick from IS!)




You know what, I'm not going to talk about this thing. I'll just leave it to my special guest, please welcome the IS School student from Britain and a representative cadet, Ms. Cecilia Alcott (セシリア・オルコット). Guess she'll do the talking for me while I'm taking a rest. orz

Cecilia Alcott from
Infinite Stratos

 (British accent) Hello ladies and gents, my name is Cecilia Alcott, British representative cadet from the Infinite Stratos School. Thank you for seeing me on IS (Infinite Stratos) for after twelve episodes. Guess someone told my name on an article about something IS. He told me about a video that a Lexus IS F wearing the color of my Infinite Stratos known as "Blue Tears" clashing against a Pearl Blue Lexus LFA. Well, I'm not kind of familiar about the Lexus LFA because I don't know what this car is but I'm fairly familiar about the Lexus IS F because 'that' is 'my' kind of IS.

Of course I saw those two Lexus cars racing in my British homeland, which these two are racing through the Bruntingthorpe Proving Grounds. When I saw the blue Lexus IS F races against the Lexus LFA, I thought the IS F will win because of the 8-speed Sport Direct Shift but the Lexus LFA's V10 engine (1LR-GUE) is highly powerful against the Lexus IS F, which is equipped with the 2UR-GSE (5.0L V8) engine and 8-speed SPDS (Sport Direct Shift) transmission. It's a shame watching my "Blue Tears" beaten by a V10-equipped super car. (Sigh)

Despite that, I'm happy to see those two Lexus F models comparing each other. Seeing these two Japan-made vehicles racing on my territory, I mean, at the Bruntingthorpe Proving Grounds, made me happy that my "Blue Tears" is proven to be a good one, despite its loss by the Lexus LFA.

As I heard, the Lexus IS F is the founding father of Lexus' F marque, designed to target the likelihood of Audi's S and RS models, Mercedes-Benz's AMG, and BMW M Power. The limited edition LFA is just a one of a kind super car built by a Japanese car manufacturer. I'm glad that Toyota Motor Corporation made a really good job creating these two sports cars targeted for the elite.

It was nice to meet you all IS* fans. Until then, I'll see you soon. Bye, now!

*I think Cecilia doesn't refer to either fans of Infinite Stratos or fans of the Lexus IS line. LOL

Messy O.A. stuff Banana Split wants you to avoid...

Guess what, Banana Split called you O.A. because you were...

1) Bringing a garbage bag with you when you encounter a litter

Picking up the trash

2) Handcuffing your girlfriend so you won't lose her

Handcuffing a girlfriend

3) Eating someone else's remains of meals

Eating the remains

Well, if you're not doing those three, you're okay. If you did, well, sorry but, 

ANG O.A. MO!

Ang TV Patrol text joke of the day:

Sabi ng anak: Nay, bakit po Victoria pangalan ni Ate?
Sagot si Nanay: E kase dun namin siya ginawa ng tatay nyo!
Tanong uli si anak: Ahhh, eh bakit si Kuya Anito?
Sagot si Nanay: Tumigil ka na nga Luneta, hala tawagin mo si Kuya FX mo!

3,567 Banana Split viewers agreed to this joke while 24 viewers are unhappy. According to Jason Francisco, those 24 viewers who are unhappy were the kids whose names were Luneta and FX!

Superamerica 45 - The third Ferrari under the Special Projects portfolio

In 2008, Ferrari revived the Special Projects program, a program dedicated to create a one-off special Ferrari for the very special clients or VIPs. The first is the Ferrari SP1, a F430-based special Ferrari designed exclusively for Mr. Junichiro Hiramatsu, the chairman of a very famous Ferrari club in Japan and an avid collector of everything Ferrari.
2008 Ferrari SP1
Later on, in 2010, the second Ferrari under the Special Projects portfolio is the P540 Superfast Aperta, a special Ferrari based on the 599 GTB Fiorano for a special client named Edward Walson, the son of John Walson who invented cable TV.
2010 Ferrari P540 Superfast Aperta

Now, in 2011, Ferrari created the third special Ferrari under the Special Projects programmed and this one is heavily based on the Ferrari 599 (the same as the Superfast Aperta). It was unveiled ahead on the Villa d’Este Concours d’Eleganza (Concours d'Elegance) in Italy and made for a wealthy playboy in New York, avid collector (just like Junichiro Hiramatsu), and the former owner of the New York Post, Peter Kalikow.

Scoop: http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2011/05/ferrari-unveils-new-superamerica-45.html

It might seem to be based on the 599 but it was heavily based on the limited model Ferrari SA APERTA. Mr. Peter Kalikow's excited to see his very own Ferrari and most of the Ferrari owners will get jealous. Peter Kalikow's the third special client since Junichiro Hiramatsu and Edward Walson to ask Ferrari to create their own special Ferrari models under the Special Projects portfolio. We're getting jealous....

Toyota Sienta Phase III and Sienta DICE

2012 Toyota Sienta


In September 29, 2003, Toyota released the Japan-only compact 2BOX minivan, the Sienta, targeted for simple Japanese families looking for a practical compact carrier for their everyday lives. It followed with a minor change on May 16, 2006 that features a much bubblier design. Unfortunately on August 2010, Toyota cease to produce the Sienta because of the low demand or poor sales. However, on May 19, 2011, the Sienta is back with its second minor change, and labeled as "Type III", which means the Sienta is now on its third phase. With production made possible from Daihatsu, the Toyota Sienta is back and this time, it spawned into two kinds such as the standard Sienta and the squarish Sienta DICE.

The standard Sienta carries the Phase II look but offered a new round front lamps, new grille, new bumper, and a redesigned rear. The new Sienta DICE offers a smiling grille, squarish headlamps, sporty front bumper, and some chrome lamps attached at the rear. The Sienta DICE is targeted for those who are in sense of style.


2012 Toyota Sienta DICE interior


On the interior, nothing's changed from the previous two phases. What's included is the plasma cluster switch that allows clean air to come through the Sienta's interior, providing a clean atmosphere and a sense of purity. For added utility, a deck under tray is included that matches your hectic lifestyles. The Sienta and Sienta DICE is made for people who are undergoing different lifestyles.


2012 Toyota Sienta DICE


Both the Sienta and the Sienta DICE are offered with the standard 1NZ-FE VVT-i engine with the improved fuel economy of 19.2km/L in 10-15 Mode and 17.2km/L in JC08 Mode. The power output is 110PS/6,000r.p.m. and the torque output of 14.4kgf・m/4,400r.p.m. If armed with the optional 4WD, power and torque output will slightly decrease. 2WD variants are equipped with the Super CVT while 4WD variants have 4-speed Super ECT. It's up to you.

My Comment:
Thanks to Daihatsu, the Sienta is back for its third phase and this time, it spawned a stylish addition, the Sienta DICE, that features squarish headlamps, sporty front bumper, and targeted for the sense of style. The standard Sienta is made for simple drivers while the Sienta DICE is targeted for the stylish. Don't rush over these yet because both the new Sienta and the Sienta DICE are slated for June 13 sale across all Corolla dealerships and oh, expect delay of delivers. orz

A Malaysian Honda commercial does YMCA but it does serve a lesson...



Here's a weird but funny TV commercial from Honda aired in Malaysian TVs. From this commercial we saw Malay comedian Douglas Lim and his gang on what if you drive your Honda to a not-so-authorized Honda service center.

What we learned from this ad is never trust to an unauthorized service center that offers good service at super expensive prices. Only Honda Authorized Service Centers are the ones you can trust when it comes to Honda care. Not at the H-O-N-D-I, Hondi!

Rate Ko: 3.5/5

A Lexus IS 350C in Akatsubaki colors...

Lexus IS 350C at Westfield


While me and my family done shopping at the Westfield South Center, I saw a Lexus IS 350C wearing its proud "Akatsubaki" color, or should I say Red Mica Crystal Shine? (Laughing) Did I say Akatsubaki? You mean the IS that Houki Shinonono used on Infinite Stratos? (Laughing) Did I said something wrong?

Houki Shinonono from
Infinite Stratos

Uh-oh... Better not laugh now because Houki understands what's this and yes, she's an extremely high-blood teenage girl. She's even more aggressive than the roar of an 2UR-GSE engine! I'm sure everyone understand that Houki's a tsundere, right? She's a tsundere but more tsun-tsun, less dere-dere.

Anyway, the Lexus IS C is a perfect balance of tsun and dere or should I say style and performance. Here in Japan, it's available in either a 2.5L or a 3.5L V6 engine. 6-speed Super ECT with Paddle Shifters is standard. I would rather get away with the Lexus IS C than being kicked out by Houki Shinonono.

The 2011 Accord minor change arrived...9 months late since its Japan debut!

2011 Honda Accord Inspire


Yes, I know. The Honda Accord Inspire CP3 Phase II (the second phase of the CP3 Honda Accord Inspire launched in Japan since December 2007) was arrived in Japan since August 26, 2010 and it took us, Pinoy Honda fans, 9 months to wait till Honda Cars Philippines officially brought the Honda Accord Inspire CP3 minor change!

Scoop:

Let's see what's in store for the 2011 Accord. Well for some reasons, it sports a new grille inspired from the USDM Accord Coupe, and it featured Bluetooth connectivity exclusive to the 2011 Accord 3.5L variant. What remains the same is the interior, and the choice of either a 2.4L or the VCM 643 3.5L V6 i-VTEC engine.

Pricing starts at 1.7 million pesos for the 2.4L variant and 2.05 million pesos for the VCM 643 variant. If you guys don't know what's VCM 643, that's the Variable Cylinder Management that allows the V6 3.5L engine to run on either 6, 4, or 3 cylinders.

That was too close. And I'll mark the 2011 Accord's arrival as...

TARDY!

Ssangyong Chairman H New Classic

Well, we have to admit it that despite over 14 years of existence since its debut on October 1997, garnered its first minor change on September 2003 as "New Chairman", and offered a flagship spin-off called Chairman W since February 2008, the Ssangyong Chairman H became an aging premium sedan that was once criticized for being a carbon copy of the Mercedes Benz W124 E-Class or even the Cadillac Deville since the Chairman gained a minor change on 2003. It was similar with the Ssangyong Chairman W, which is a clone of Mercedes-Benz W221 S-Class. For 14 years of existence, it seems most Korean car enthusiasts are getting to forget about the Chairman H. However, things have changed in 2011 after Ssangyong Motor Company was taken over by Mahindra and Mahindra Ltd., one of India's first-class car manufacturers, because the aging Chairman H is ready to face its second childhood.


2012 Ssangyong Chairman H


Under the name, Ssangyong Chairman H New Classic, the aging premium sedan is now made even younger with some styling cues inspired from its flagship spin-off, the Ssangyong Chairman W. Despite its flagship look, it still won't cover its aging weakness because this is the second time the Chairman received another minor change.


2012 Ssangyong Chairman H interior


Despite the new exterior won't hide its aging weak spots, the Chairman H New Classic offers an all-new interior that offers first class comfort. Despite the interior is heavily inspired from the Chairman W spin-off, my understanding that the Chairman H New Classic's interior is definitely a clone that combines the interior from the Dodge Journey/JC minor change and the Nissan Fuga (Infiniti M37/M56) Y51. Good thing it's better to be Korean than being a Chinese clone car with a clone interior.


2012 Ssangyong Chairman H


The Chairman H New Classic is powered with the XGi3200 in-line 6 DOHC 3.2L engine that releases 222ps/6,600rpm of power while the entry level XGi2800 in-line 6 DOHC 2.8L engine that is capable at releasing 200ps/6,600rpm of power output. The Chairman H New Classic is equipped with the E-tronic Benz 5-speed automatic transmission that can be set to Manual Mode for enhanced driving feel. It is mated with an Electronic Stability Program (ESP) for enhanced stability amidst different driving conditions.

The Ssangyong Chairman H New Classic is offered in three exterior colors such as Classic Black, Diamond Silver, and Grand White.

My comment:

The Ssangyong Chairman H might be an aged Korean premium sedan that mimics Benz but with the new minor change and a "New Classic" sub-name, the aging sedan from Ssangyong Motor Company is ready for its second childhood and for those who can't afford the luxurious Ssangyong Chairman W should consider the Chairman H New Classic for now. I think this may be not a good car for the Korean politicians and executives but I think this would make a good taxi for the Korean roads. Don't expect the Ssangyong Chairman H New Classic come face-to-face against the Hyundai Genesis sedan because it will hurt more than what you expected.

Looking back at the Best MOTORing finale

Best MOTORing June 2011 Volume


Well, we can't hardly forget that the Best MOTORing June 2011 DVD (on sale since April 2011) marks the end days of Best MOTORing. The finale featured the Lexus LFA supercar for the very first time, which makes it a eccentric timing to feature Lexus' ultimate supercar in the final volume of Best MOTORing. On the finale, dubbed as "Final Battle in Fuji Speedway", the Lexus LFA, the Nissan GT-R R35 Phase II, Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, Porsche 911 GT2 RS, and the Ferrari F430 GT3 come clashing for a 3-lap finale at Fuji Speedway.


The winner is... the Nissan GT-R R35 Minor Change! Second place was the Porsche 911 GT2 RS and third goes to the first-time Lexus LFA. The Best MOTORing series will surely be missed! がんばろう、ベスモ!

Eh? Family Guy creator mulls Flintstones revival?

Family Guy DVD Volume Eight


Check out this interesting news:

According on that article, Seth McFarlane (the mastermind behind Family Guy, American Guy and Cleveland Show) considers about the return of The Flintstones, a class cartoon we remember when we were kids.

"So it's appropriate that events have come full circle, allowing me to produce the newest incarnation of this great franchise. Plus, I think America is finally ready for an animated sitcom about a fat, stupid guy with a wife who's too good for him,"

Also, they are consider to give it a try this year and slated to be released on 2013. It will be a collaboration between FOX and Warner Bros, owners of the Hanna-Barbera franchise.

Are we going to expect that happen from the Family Guy creator? What do you think? Will this work?

The Hyundai Genesis GP500 Prada is a special model in collaboration with Prada. It features three Prada colors; Brown Moro, Blue Baltico, and Black Nero. Interior goes upscale but modest with its Prada-inspired interior.

Mercedes-Benz C-Class W204 Minor Change




2012 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
Since its introduction at the year 2007, the third-generation Mercedes-Benz C-Class (designated under its chassis code W204) became a notoriety against the likes of the BMW 3-Series sedan and wagon. With the rise of the Audi A4 B8, it seems that the popularity of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class W204 is fading away not until on 2011, the third-generation Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan and tourer received their much-awaited minor change, which is loaded with a new face derived from its E-Class brother, and a new interior that matches the qualification of a true Benz.



With its new face lift, the new W204 C-Class gained its much-awaited features such as idling stop system (allows the engine to be shut off automatically when the car stops, available at some models), 7G-tronic transmission for entry-level variants, and the new Comand APS system. The Comand APS system acts like a command center on the new C-Class; communication, navigation, and entertainment are the perfect balance on the Comand APS system.



There are several engines available on the W204 minor change to choose from, depending on which lifestyles will suit you. The C180 BlueEfficiency model has a 1.8L 4-cylinder engine, capable of producing 156ps/5000rpm of power, 250 Nm/1600-4200rpm of torque and the fuel economy of 6.7L/100 km combined on a 6-speed manual transmission. The 7G-TRONIC PLUS variant on the C180 BlueEfficiency has a fuel economy of 6.4L/100 km combined. The Benz C200 BlueEfficiency has a choice of a 6-speed manual and 7G-TRONIC PLUS variant. It uses the same 1.8L 4-cylinder engine but with the improved power output of 184 PS. The C250 BlueEfficiency has 204 PS of power in the same 1.8L 4-cylinder engine. C350 BlueEfficiency offers 4MATIC All-Wheel Drive and 7G-Tronic Plus transmission. It offers a power output of 306ps/6500rpm and 370Nm/3500rpm of torque output.



For diesel car customers, the C180 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY, C200 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY, C220 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY, and C250 CDI (4MATIC) BlueEFFICIENCY variants are also offered no mater which body styles you're on, the sedan or the tourer variant. Most are equipped with the 4-cylinder CRDi diesel engines and they are Euro V compliant. For the hardcore diesel customers, there's the C300 CDI 4MATIC BlueEFFICIENCY and C350 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY available this summer 2011. Both of these were equipped with the V6 CRDi diesel engine for added power, less emissions.



My thoughts about the C-Class:

Mercedes-Benz's real entry-level luxury sedan, the C-Class W204, is back for another round and for its latest minor change, can the new C-Class W204 step up from its competitors such as the BMW 3-Series, Cadillac CTS, Audi A4, and Lexus IS? I hope CATS Motors bring the latest minor change of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class W204 soon but expect only gasoline-fed variants. The diesel-fed variants are not fit for our country because we're still a Euro 3 compliant country.

Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Minor Change




2012 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG







2012 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Estate


The high-performance Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG (based on the Mercedes-Benz C-Class W204, now on its minor change), in sedan and tourer variants, received its much awaited minor change but retains the same 6.2 L M156 V8 AMG engine. I thought that the C63 AMG minor change would use the 5.5L V8 twin turbo engine as seen on the new CLS63 AMG but Benz retains the 6.2L V8 engine on the C63 AMG minor change without reason.



The 6.2 L M156 V8 AMG engine on the C63 AMG produces 457ps/6800rpm of power output, 600 Nm/5000rpm of torque output, armed with the AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sports transmission with the "Controlled Efficiency" mode, top speed of 250km/h, 0-100km in 4.5 seconds and Euro V compliant. The optional AMG Performance package provides the C63 AMG sedan and tourer an improved power output of 487 PS and 0-100km in 4.4 seconds.



My comment:

It's a shame that AMG didn't use the 5.5L BiTurbo engine to the C63 AMG and retain the 6.2 L M156 V8 AMG on it. Why would they do this? More style, less oomph for the new C63 AMG. Despite the same engine, the new aggressive exterior and the new interior makes us forgive them for their heinous crime they commit. It pays to make them apologize for not making the new C63 AMG turbocharged.

Hyundai Accent RB caught in the act on an XXX episode!


Anthony Taberna and the XXX crew
uses the Hyundai Accent RB for their
entrapment plan


Hyundai Accent RB on an XXX episode
Ay sus! Maryano ka inggo! It appears that the Guys License Hyundai Accent RB caught in the act in an XXX (Explosibong Exclusibong Expose) episode since May 16, 2011. This Hyundai Accent RB was used to catch the fake priest!

The Hyundai Accent RB was not just a Guys License, it's the ultimate entrapment car against crooks around the Metro, especially fake priests! No wonder the law enforcement, the XXX crew, and ABS-CBN news anchor Anthony Taberna used the Hyundai Accent RB as one of their elaborate entrapment plan to catch a fake priest named "Father Flores" and bring him to justice!

Now I understand, the Hyundai Accent RB is not just a Guy's License, it's the ultimate entrapment tool used by law enforcements and the crew of XXX. Sus, maryano ka inggo!

I saw the Audi A7 earlier!







Here's a little scoop. While me and my family went grocery shopping at Costco Warehouse, I bumped into the appearance of the new Audi A7 Sportback. The model I encountered earlier was an Audi A7 3.0T and it's supercharged! Wow!

Wish I want to experience more about the Audi A7...

Anyway, while grocery shopping at Costco...




Whoa, strange things happened at Costco, especially Pepsi's Limited Edition Pepsi Throwback which sports a retro Pepsi labeling in a can that dates back years ago. Retro packaging, huh?


The selection in Costco looks nice, much like Safeway and Walmart indeed.



They offer the finest tires from Bridgestone, Michelin, and BF Goodrich.



I even got myself a first scoop of a triple scoop ice cream! This reminds me of a "dirty ice cream" back at the Philippines.
