This is how you Sonic

2012 Chevrolet Sonic


With the initiation of the Let's Do This campaign to celebrate the launch of the 2012 Chevrolet Sonic, this compact hatchback pulled a skydiving stunt that is nearly impossible for a car brand to do that. Seems that the small Chevrolet Sonic can do that, just.



The cool part is seen on the official Chevy Sonic Facebook page and yes, we are getting eager to have one.

4J10 - the new-generation MIVEC engine

4J10 engine


Applicable on the 2012 Mitsubishi RVR and the 2012 Mitsubishi Galant Fortis lineup is the new generation 1.8L MIVEC engine coded as 4J10. So, what's up with the new 4J10 engine made by Mitsubishi?

For a kick-off, the new 4J10 engine is a new 16-valve SOHC 4-cylinder engine that produces 139PS/6000rpm of power, and 17.5kgf-m/4200rpm of torque. This helps the car to attain the maximum fuel economy of 17.0km/L based on Japan's 10-15 Mode test cycle. New to the 4J10 engine is the new AS&G (Auto Stop & GO) feature, a first from Mitsubishi Motors. The new Auto Stop & Go feature is an idling stop system which helps the 4J10 engine to shut off automatically when the car's stop at the red light. This provides optimized fuel economy and lower carbon footprints.

This new engine will be deployed globally and soon, I hope the Philippines will get this new engine also.

On November 30...

2012 Subaru Impreza teaser


On November 30, 2011, Fuji Heavy Industries will launch the all new 2012 Subaru Impreza in Japan.

Using the "New Value Class" concept that best describes the new model, the 2012 Subaru Impreza will feature two versions at first. The hatchback version will be called Impreza Sport while the sedan version will be called Impreza G4. The Impreza Sport provides sportiness as a hatchback while the Impreza G4 is a Genuine 4-door.

I repeat, the new 2012 Impreza series will arrive this November 30, 2011. Stay tuned for more...

Second-generation Hyundai i30

European flair and Korean reliability is what Hyundai's best at when it comes to create better looking cars with the finest features. For the Hyundai i30's full model change, this will make European engineers envy over this hatchback It made them so envy, even the Volkswagen Group CEO got jealous over the new i30's silence.


2012 Hyundai i30


The all-new Hyundai i30 is the second addition of Hyundai's new Premium Youth Lab (PYL). In case that most don't know what PYL is, this is the new sub-brand targeted for the young Korean adults in their 20's. This brand was launched since the Hyundai Veloster debuted in March 10, 2011 and BLU Premium Youth Lab members provide special perks and privileges. It uses the "Aero Active" concept as its basis on its design and with its "Fluidic Sculpture" design philosophy, the all new i30 is made to be highly attractive and some say that it was inspired from the Veloster. We might even think that we are going to nickname this the Veloster with 5-doors, you know what I mean. Although the front view its impressive, the back view is somewhat a little bit rubbish, it's like when the designers faced the common sentence "Finish or not finish, pass your papers", get it?


2012 Hyundai i30 interior


A lot of people commenting about the new interior because the new i30's big space got the attention of the Volkswagen Group CEO and he got so jealous that why European car makers didn't do the same thing as Hyundai because of its European flair and Korean reliability but whatever. The new i30 features loads of interior features such as a 7-inch intelligent navigation system, large TFT Supervision Cluster, dual-zone climate control, and panoramic sunroof. Customers can be benefited with the new i30's interior because this has more space than the previous model and the rear seats can be folded to create three seating arrangements suitable for luggage purposes, perfect for the adventurous drivers who wanted to take some time off.

Two engines are available on the new i30 such as the Gamma 1.6L GDI engine and the U2 1.6L VGT engine. First, the GDI (Gasoline Direct Injection) 1.6L engine produces 140PS/6300rpm of power and 17kg-m/4850rpm of torque. This helps the car accumulate a maximum fuel economy of 16.3km/L but with the Hyundai i30 1.6 GDi BlueSaver grade, this reaches a fuel economy of 17.3km/L thanks to its innovative idling stop function which helps the Gamma 1.6L GDI engine to shut off automatically when stopped. The U2 1.6L CRDi-VGT engine produces 128HP/4000rpm of power and 26.5kg-m/2750rpm of torque. This helps the engine to accumulate 23km/L of fuel economy, if the 6-speed manual is equipped. GDi variants are equipped with a standard 6-speed automatic transmission but CRDi-VGT variants of the new i30 come with either a 6-speed automatic or a 6-speed manual transmission.

The new i30 comes with the new Flex Steer system that allows the driver to choose from three driving modes; Comfort, Normal, and Sport. The Comfort mode provides easy driving on normal roads, Normal mode for balance, and Sport mode to provide quicker handling on the corners of the earth. From the corners of Monaco, straight Belgian roads, Canadian forests, and the twists and turns of Switzerland, we are sure that hardcore drivers may want to switch the i30's Flex Steer on Sport Mode with a hint of exclamation mark. The new i30 also has SPAS (Smart Parking Assist System) that allows the car to park all by itself hands-free and we won't regret it about its safety feature.

The new Hyundai i30 comes with nine color variations such as Creamy White, Sleek Silver, Hyper Silver, Pink Shell, Hazel Brown, Tropic Red, Santorini Blue, Black Bean, and Phantom Black.

My comment:
With its catchphrase "never-ending ideas", the new Hyundai i30 provides never ending ideas for the driver to come up on the road because of its design, space, technology, and performance, something that the Germans failed to have, even the Japanese. The new i30 is the second member of the new Hyundai Premium Youth Lab brand and it provides three key goals; Shift the Grade, Show your Identity, and Save your Money, referring to its performance, design, and ecology.

Unfortunately though, it is not yet confirmed to bring it to the Philippines because of the previous model's slow sales. Also, the 1.6L GDi engine and the 1.6L CRDi-VGT engine are not strong enough on the Philippine roads. There is a 10% probability that it will come...as a gray market somewhere at either Pitstop Motors or Hancars.

The new i30 has something that European car makers never have...

Dance with Hybrid - Forza 4 style

This hybrid's too eager to be featured
on next season's Top Gear!


Because of the theory that the ratio of "Miles Per Gallon" championed over "Horsepower Per Ton", the introduction of hybrids and electric vehicles on Forza Motorsport 4 really put a twist on this flagship racing sim. The Lexus CT200h (chassis code: ZWA10) is one of them. It maybe classified as a hybrid but this compact hybrid hatchback truly has its darker side. It sure is the "Darker Side of Green" that breaks the status quo.

Up close and personal with
the Darker Side of Green

The price for the Lexus CT200h on Forza Motorsport 4 starts at 25,000 CR and this car is powered with the 1.8L 2ZR-FXE engine sourced from the Prius that produces 134HP of power and 169lb-ft of torque. The biggest redundancy on the CT200h was its CVT because this car would be somewhat a little bit slower than I expected. Just because this car has a disappointing CVT feature does not mean you can't have something special for this hybrid hatchback.

CT200h races through the Alps

Tuning the Lexus CT200h is like putting up the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle and it needs incredible tuning logic skills to push the CT200h class to its equal position. It might be easier to push this hybrid on the F200 class, E275 class, D350 class, or C425 class but pushing this on B500 to A600 is a very difficult task. Sadly though, you can't push the CT200h tuning even further to meet your demands.

Taking a day-off at Silverstone

What I like about the CT200h is its handling. In its F200 class, the CT200h has an agile handling despite the wheezing noise of its hybrid drivetrain and CVT. When I tried this on the Top Gear Test Track, it performed quite well on the Chicago, Hammerhead, and Gambon. Respectively, this is one of my favorites in real life but in Forza 4, it needs consideration whether I should accept the way the Lexus CT200h feels or not. We sure know that we are ready to "Dance with Hybrid" but sometimes, it may end up being nothing or in Top Gear terms, RUBBISH. If I were Jeremy Clarkson putting the CT200h on the Cool Wall, let's put this on COOL for a while but if this gets rubbish, I may end up putting this on UNCOOL.


Mazda Axela's Prison Break



Mazda USA released a new TV commercial for the 2012 Mazda 3 (Mazda Axela in Japan) with SKYACTIV technology.

Dubbed "Prison Break", the Mazda Axela SKYACTIV escapes the deadly life sentences of 40MPG cars suffered from poor performance, hybrid drivetrains, and the ratio of practicality triumphs over performance. This car is all about performance triumphs over practicality.

Check out pics for Behind The Scenes:

SIDE NOTE: BGM used is all-original. We can't tell you what's the title, so sorry. I repeat, this is an original music used on the ad.

Renault Z.E. commercial - Gas powered everything



Inspired from the Nissan Leaf TV commercial from the United States, this new commercial from Renault Z.E. takes us on the world of "Gas-Powered Everything". Of course, this ad from Renault Z.E. took that idea from Nissan. Oh well, that's the way the Renault Nissan Alliance does...




Feel free to ask which of these "Gas powered everything" ads has a point but besides, they have the same motif. I'm getting confused..

Reinvented Lee Min-Ho is ready for the 2012 Camry special feature, are you?

2012 Toyota Camry US Version


To bring more publicity to Asian-American buyers who are interested on the reinvented 2012 Camry, Toyota USA released a special web drama titled "The One & Only" starring famous Korean superstar, Lee Min Ho. In this special feature, Lee Min Ho played as a man who lost his memory after a one-month coma. To recover his memory, he have to get inside the reinvented 2012 Camry and once he used the car's Entune system, his memory's slowly recovering.



The first episode is NOW ON AIR, while episode two will be this November 4. Episodes three and four will come soon. This web special has its hopes to reach an Asian-American market demography and the US-Spec Camry will succeed against its rivals.

MY OH MY! Houki Shinonono would not going to like this...



Uh-huh. Houki Shinonono would not going to be happy when she saw her Akatsubaki crushed due to...illegal racing. That is, a red 2011 Lexus IS F.

The cops in California crushed a red Lexus IS F after impounded it because of illegal street racing (or is it?). That made me sad but whatever. Houki Shinonono would be very very disappointed, seeing her beautiful Akatsubaki crushed.

Sorry, Houki...

Indy 500's Worst

Indy 500 crash


Consider this the worst-case scenario happened at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway because not only the 15-car wreck is tragic, it killed the 2-time Indy 500 champion, Dan Wheldon.

This 15-car crash and the death of the champ sparks the biggest catastrophe in Indy 500 history. We would like to express our deepest condolences to Dan Wheldon's family and friends, especially his fans.

Renault Fluence Z.E.


2012 Renault Fluence Z.E.



2012 Renault Fluence Z.E. interior


Renault's Fluence Z.E. is the medium sedan packed with eco-friendly technology and zero emissions, which is part of the new Renault Z.E. range. It is the first 100% electric medium sedan created under the Renault Nissan Alliance, using the Renault Fluence as its foundation for this ecological vehicle, which promises zero emissions.

It is easy to distinguish the differences of the Fluence and Fluence Z.E. in terms of exterior and interior designs. On the outside, the Fluence Z.E. has a similar front as seen on the normal Fluence but the rear view is a different shape. On the interior, you should see that the instrumental panel's altered with a different design, which makes it easier to distinguish it. Anyway, it still has the same Fluence comfort you can enjoy taking some time off. The Fluence Z.E. features the world's first Carminat TomTom Z.E. Live navigation system, which allows the driver to check real-time information on the Fluence Z.E. such as battery percentage remaining, eco-routing, search for nearest charging stations, and much more. This electric medium sedan provides user-friendly experience which can be somewhat essential.

The Renault Fluence Z.E. produces 70KW of power output and 226 Nm of torque output. This helps the car goes from 0-100km/h in 13.40 seconds and top speed of 135km/h and the lithium-ion battery's capacity is 22kWh. There is even an energy recovery system that allows the Fluence Z.E. recharges the battery when decelerating or braking. This helps the car's NEDC combined cycle range reaches 185km. There are numerous possibilities to charge the Fluence Z.E. at home and public places thanks to the Wall-Box, household mains supply (10A or 16A, 220V), or access to public battery charging facilities. In some countries like Israel, Denmark and Australia, there is a QuickDrop battery switch system which allows the Fluence Z.E. to swap the battery in as little as 5 minutes.

Two versions are available on the Fluence Z.E. such as Expression and Dynamique and its available in seven color variations such as Beige Cendré, Bleu Energy, Bleu de Prusse, Gris Eclipse, Gris Platine, Noir Nacré, and Blanc Glacier.

My comment:

I guess that the Renault Fluence Z.E. has some of its features courtesy of the Renault Nissan Alliance that keeps its zero emissions promise just like the Nissan Leaf but for now, it would be very nice to see the first of its kind. The first 100% electric medium sedan that uses the Renault Fluence as its foundation to create such a wonderful electric vehicle that provides cleaner driving on the highway. We might say that we're going to mix it up with the colors blue and yellow and oh my gosh, the perspectives are not as thick as an oslo paper.

IS OVA on-sale date info

Hi guys! Sorry for the late info. I got numerous contacts about the IS OVA on-sale date. They said that the on-sale date, originally set for November 25, 2011 debut, was recently been delayed to December 7, 2011. We are not sure why they delay it but would be better to save up some cash for these.

Yeongam's hot as kimchi but champs rule

Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel may have defended the World Champion title twice but that does not mean that the 2011 F1 season is over. There are four races left; South Korea, India, Abu Dhabi, and Brazil.

The Korean GP held at Yeongam yesterday really proves that world champions like S. Vettel rule the race. In fact, he did secured the Constructor's Title, making it a good news for him! As of now, S. Vettel is in the lead by 349 points, Jenson Button from McLaren-Mercedes is still in 2nd place by 222 points, and Fernando Alonso in 3rd place by 212 points.


Next race will be held at India this October 30, 2011. This is new to the season but will the champ prevail?

Chakkari-san ちゃっかりさん



Why we have to call this Chakkari? It's because here in Forza Motorsport 4, the Nissan March/Micra K13 was there and I was one of the lucky many to try out the all-new, fourth-generation, Nissan March/Micra in the game. We're gonna see how "chakkari" is this compact Nissan hatchback. I said "chakkari" because of the latest Nissan March K13 Japanese commercial with Mikako Tabe. Anyone know Mikako Tabe? No? Okay....

Familiar with this layout?

This Nissan March/Micra is attainable as one of the Forza 4 Starter Cars aside from the Toyota Aygo, Peugeot 107, Citroen C1, Vauxhall Agila, and the Chevrolet Spark. It's powered with the HR12DE engine that produces 79HP of power, and 81lb-ft of torque. Those never chose this as a starter car would have to work hard to get 10,000 CR and purchase this machine.

Chakkari-san's desperate measures

For a small hatchback like the Nissan Micra/March K13, there are endless tuning combinations. Some consider turning this into the Micra DIG-S because of the supercharger, yeah. Add some supercharger on it. Doesn't matter which tuning setup fits best as long as you find the right tuning setup matching Performance Index regulations.

Chakkari-san at The Top Gear Test Track

Guess Chakkari-san would only dream about such things. Happily however, there are endless possibilities to decorate the Micra/March K13 just the way you like it. Sometimes, you may want to try placing a license plate on the back and we believe that this is "Just For Fun".

Chakkari-san at the Nurburgring

Ah, the joys of being Chakkari-san if you are driving the Nissan Micra/March K13. It would take some time for those who chose it as a starter car but with enough practice, they are surely going to like this cute compact car even further. It's great to be the first game to feature this kind of car...

ちゃっかり!


Up close and personal with the GT-R N24 Schulze Motor Sports

Song played on my Personal BGM: 月のワルツ by Takane Shijou (CV: Yumi Hara)
From the album: THE IDOLM@STER MASTER ARTIST 2 FIRST SEASON 06 - Takane Shijou

The GT-R N24 Schulze Motor Sports is
something that impresses the driver with its
class-leading victory.

Over the years, we never saw a Nissan GT-R R35 taking place at the legendary 24 Hours of Nurburgring. Previously, we just only saw the Nissan Falken GT-R R34 Race Car but with the R34's demise and with the debut of R35 in 2007, it's just wasn't enough to see if Godzilla endures the torture of the Ring. Suddenly, things have changed. At the 2011 24 Hours of Nurburgring held last June, a miracle happened. A Nissan R35 GT-R made its first appearance as a participant of the 2011 24 Hours of Nurburgring. Called the Nissan GT-R N24 Schulze Motor Sports, this racecar was driven by top racers such as Michael Schulze, Tobias Schulze, Yasuyoshi Yamamoto, and of course, the Gran Turismo creator, Kazunori Yamauchi.

What a scary looking face!

Despite technical problems, the GT-R N24 Schulze Motor Sports managed to hang in there, placing 36th overall but achieved an SP8T class victory at the Nurburgring 24 Hour Race, all thanks to the GT creator, Kazunori Yamauchi himself. Because of its impressive performance, they decided to add this racecar on Gran Turismo 5 SPEC II and fans can take part on its prestige and glory once felt after achieved a SP8T Class victory done by Yamauchi-san. We're really sure that the Gran Turismo creator himself brought this prestigious racing machine on SPEC II because this is a pure racing machine without compromise. So what is it then, this GT-R N24?

FACE TO FACE WITH AN INCREDIBLE RACER
AT BERN

Ordinarily, this GT-R N24 racer looks particularly similar than the GT-R Super GT racers but they are not related to each of their racing bloodlines. The GT-R N24 Schulze Motor Sports '11 model is the first GT-R ever to participate in the legendary 24 Hours of Nurburgring. It covers about 493HP of power and 1505kg of weight. Plus, it has a 4WD layout, making it an uncompromising speed machine that pushes the envelope of power and prestige.

Relieving the glory at the Nurburgring

Owners can tune it up as much as 672HP of power and yes, the settings can be adjustable to match its cornering attributes, then keep it on their new Settings Sheet. It takes hours to tune this prestigious Godzilla and with the right setting, that changes everything.

Would that be acceptable to have The Stig
drive this on The Top Gear Test Track?

It's great being the only Godzilla that participated the 24 Hours of Nurburgring since the Nissan FALKEN GT-R in the last decade but the Nissan GT-R N24 Schulze Motor Sports is something that made me smile. This is the kind of Godzilla that rattles the Nurburgring and its yours to keep once you've updated your GT5 to SPEC II. This is innovation for today, innovation for tomorrow.
