Episode 2 of 2012 Camry's The One & Only tackles more on Best in Class MPG

Previously, we saw Lee Min Ho's memory slowly recovered after taking advantage of the reinvented 2012 Camry's Entune System, a new infotainment and telematics system that allows phone connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, MP3 connectivity, and loads of Entune-enabled apps such as Pandora Radio, Bing, iHeartRadio, Movietickets.com, and more.

Now, in episode 2 of "The One & Only", it tackles more about the Camry's Best in Class MPG. But also, he was shocked that he was a "marked man".

"What is Helsinki Syndrome?" by Richard Hammond

Is this how get for having Helsinki Syndrome?


The Lamborghini Aventador is the newest V12 flagship Lamborghini that shares the success from its half-a-century of predecessors such as the Miura, Countach, Diablo, and Murcielago. It uses an all new 6.5L V12 engine codenamed L539, which is the first all new V12 engine from Lamborghini for almost 50 years and what's surprisingly that a full-year supply of these Aventador models have been sold out since its unveiling at Geneva.

Aventador vs. Murcielago Super Veloce

Where does the Aventador name come from? It was named after a legendary trophy-winning bull in Spanish bullfighting and this bull that bore the number 32 faced a deadly battle with a torero at Zaragoza, Spain, earning the title of "Trofeo de la Pena La Madronera".

With the arrival of Forza Motorsport 4's November Speed Pack, players can now fight against their rivals to the limits on the all new Lamborghini Aventador. In the past, most Lamborghini cars in the past focused only on top speed, acceleration, and handling. For the Aventador, handling comes first while setting top speed to its lower priority but the Aventador can do 0-60mph in 2.9 seconds and flatout, it can do 217mph.

Wish you were home...

It was truly a dream come true for us to see the Aventador in Forza 4 but would we end up getting HELSINKI SYNDROME just like what Top Gear's Richard Hammond said while test driving the Aventador? Remember, the Lamborghini Aventador accumulated a Power Lap Time of 1:16.5 and it's faster than the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport. At first, the Aventador is the scariest Lamborghini ever driven by first timers but as I get used to this Lamborghini, I'm starting to get disappointed because it lacks terror despite impressed from its acceleration and handling. It's not all about pantomime drama theater and this Aventador is the closest thing we get.

The Taming of the Bull at Tsukuba

The Lamborghini Aventador in Forza Motorsport 4 is a dream come true for Forza players who want to try out the newest flagship battle cruiser that is the closest thing from a stealth fighter jet that you will ever seen on the road. Looks like we owe them a big thanks,


New Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8

Chrysler's Street & Racing Technology are very adamant that this all new Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 is the most technologically advanced, highest performing Jeep ever made. I surely believed that this Grand Cherokee on steroids would only be fit for cowboys but it wasn't made to be more rodeo-oriented. I wasn't sure that this new model exceeds expectations against the BMW X5 M but it surely is a very difficult explanation to tell.


2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8



2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 interior


The exterior design looks similar as the Jeep Grand Cherokee WK2 but because this is the SRT8 version, it gained muscular aero kits from top to bottom in order to create a meaner sport utility vehicle with meaner looks to scare away the predators at the dark. If you see the SRT8 badge at the back, that's how it goes "Nah-Nah-Na-Na-Nah".

In the interior, the new Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 is backed by a SRT-exclusive seats, SRT-exclusive steering wheel, carbon fiber inserts, and a 6.5-inch navigation system complete with Electronic Vehicle Information Center which provides real-time information on the Grand Cherokee SRT8. It also provides telemetry and data such as 0-60 mph times, eighth- and quarter-mile times, 60-0 mph braking distances and lateral acceleration figures. For sound quality, it has a Harman Kardon 7.3 Surround Sound System with 19 High-Performance, High-Efficienct GreenEdge Loudspeakers to bring out the best sound experience inside the Grand Cherokee SRT8.

The new SRT8 Grand Cherokee is powered by the 6.4L HEMI V8 engine that creates 465 horsepower at 6,000rpm and 465lb-ft of torque at 4,200rpm. It even comes with a Fuel Saver Technology for cylinder management to provide better fuel economy and to accumulate EPA estimated MPG of 12 city/18 hwy. It is armed with a 5-speed paddle shift transmission. As a 4WD, the Grand Cherokee SRT8 comes with the Quadra-Trac SRT full-time all-wheel-drive system that tackles against various road conditions like tarmac, gravel, and snow. It comes with the Selec-Track rotary control that allows the driver to switch through five different modes such as Auto, Track, Sport, Snow, and Tow.

There is an optional Luxury Group Package to provide more luxury to the interior but it can also provide features such as adaptive cruise control, Forward Collision Warning and Blind spot Monitoring. There are 45 Safety and Security features you can find it on the new Grand Cherokee SRT8.

Available in four exterior colors such as Deep Cherry Red Pearl, Black, Bright Silver Metallic, and Mineral Gray Metallic.

My comment:
This is the best Jeep for enthusiasts but it's not as good looking as the regular Jeep Grand Cherokee. However, it's less expensive than the BMW X5 M because the Grand Cherokee SRT8 starts at $54,470 while the BMW X5 M costs $86,400.

Honestly, they messed up with this new model. Well, initially it's a thoroughbred sports utility vehicle but it doesn't. It takes moments to figure out how does the Grand Cherokee SRT8 and the result is that this SUV is not merely a 4WD thoroughbred and it's more complicated than a medium-sized woman.

A Toyota Vitz modified for B-Spec Club Racing

2011 Toyota Yaris B-Spec Club Racer


At the 2011 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, Nevada, there was a Toyota Vitz/Yaris modified into a B-Spec Club Racer. I've never seen that this Vitz is modified into a boy racer for the SCCA B-Spec races and wow, IT'S A CAR!

Charlotte Dunois "Jersey version" figure revealed ahead of Spring 2012 debut!

Alter Infinite Stratos Charlotte Dunois Jersey Version figure


If we're going to place it on the COOL WALL, we'll place this on the SUB-ZERO side. Why? This Charlotte Dunois "Jersey version" figure by Alter is just brilliant. I especially love her facial expressions because her cuteness will simply make this new figure up to their wish lists or readying their bank checks to pre-order such an elegant figure, which will go on sale in Spring 2012.

Infiniti plans global HQ in Hong Kong

2012 Infiniti M Hybrid


It seems that Nissan's luxury marque, Infiniti, wants to expand even further because the lxuruy marque will have its global headquarters in Hong Kong. Wait, what? You know a country like Hong Kong never sells Infiniti cars but why? The reason why they want to move their global headquarters in Hong Kong because this brand has strong presence in China and it wants to accumulate 500,000 sales as part of the Nissan Power 88, a six-year master plan for the Japanese automotive giant.

92) 1948 Chevrolet Pickup - Amazingly though, this is the most historical midsize pickup made by Chevrolet.

A whole new compact Peugeot only knows

2013 Peugeot 208


This is a new compact car from Peugeot. It's called the 208. It will replace the aging 207 compact in 2012 Spring in 5-door and 3-door configurations.

The Ferrari that can go anywhere - The Ferrari FF

An epic 4WD gran tourer


The FF name in the Ferrari FF refers that the first F is a four-seater and the other F stands for 4WD. This is exactly known as Ferrari's first four-seater 4WD grand tourer. It is equipped with Ferrari-developed 4WD system codenamed 4RM and this bespoke 4WD system is 50% lighter than convenient 4WD drivetrains, giving this FF some classic Ferrari handling while tackling through tarmac, gravel, snow, and other road conditions. It is equipped with the 6.3L V12 gasoline direct injection engine that produces 660PS of power and 683Nm of torque. This helps the car reach 0-100kph in 3.7 seconds and 335kph of top speed. It comes with a 7-speed paddle shift transmission.

Uh, you know that we're in Sivlerstone but
why are you in Dubai license plate?

With such technology and power, perhaps no wonder this $300,000 toy had all of the customers asked for it. In other terms, Ferrari builds 800 FF models for the year and a full-year supply has already been sold out. Don't worry though that all hope is not lost despite the Ferrari FF is sold out because you can now try the Ferrari FF on Forza Motorsport 4.

Enjoying the open road with the Ferrari FF

About the Ferrari FF, I like its handling because of its 4RM all wheel drive system developed specifically for the FF. It handles just like any other Ferrari cars even though that this is a 4WD shooting brake that throws the curve on the Ferrari brand. In straight lines, I think I found its weakness. It would be difficult for the Ferrari FF to overtake against rivals in a straight line like the Circuit de la Sarthe's Mulsanne corner at a full speed. Slipstreaming isn't a very good idea for this car and it will overtake its rivals if they were on the curves.

Geared up for Top Gear!

But still, it was great for me to try out the Ferrari FF on Forza Motorsport 4. What I like is its handling but what I don't like about the FF is its slipstreaming ability because in straight lines, you can't catch up with high speed rivals right before you overtake them on the corners. Perhaps handling really was the Ferrari FF's top priority...
