What's in our Car Town garage today? (December 23, 2012)

2011 Fisker Karma

Fisker Automotive is an American carmaker based in Anaheim, California, founded in 2007. The maiden car for the brand is a plug-in hybrid sports saloon car known as Karma. As a pure series hybrid car, it was powered by a pair of 120 kW (161 hp) electric motors that get their power from a 20 kWh lithium ion battery supplied by A123 Systems. If the driver engages Sport mode or if the battery's out of charge, the 2.0L petrol engine kicks in, generating 260HP of power.

2011 Nissan Juke

With a name so awkwardly weird, Nissan seems to be quite so serious when it comes to making this ROCK 'N SMALL compact crossover, which was designed in Britain and produced at its Oppama plant in Japan. It was the first model in the lineup to come with their newly developed 1.6 L MR16DDT Turbo I4 engine that churns out 190PS of power, mated to an XTRONIC CVT.

2011 BMW Z4

"Actually it doesn't feel like a pair of turbos at all. This is like a pair of testes! Big, meaty ones!" Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear explains how the twin turbos on the E89 BMW Z4 feels like and it is...sort of. It maybe more of a civilized hardtop roadster that was now made even more comfortable but don't be fooled by how it feels because on the road, the Z4 E89 really likes to take things very seriously.

Some Say: Next Mazda Axela/3 may come end of next year, diesel engine possible?

2012 Mazda Axela

Fresh off the rumormill, or what in some issue of MagX said, seems that the Mazda Axela (known in the world market as the Mazda 3) is going for a full change at the end of 2013 or first half of 2014 and some say, this will be the third car to be fully integrated with SKYACTIV Technology since the CX-5 and the third-generation Atenza (Mazda 6). They are speculating that the next model will be fresh with Mazda's new signature design philosophy, KODO -Soul in Motion- and it may come with either a 2.0L petrol or a 2.2L diesel engine, again all SKYACTIV stuff here.

Here's an excerpt:


フルスカイアクティブ第3弾として登場
トヨタやホンダのハイブリッド攻勢に危機感をもったマツダが、限られた経営資源をエンジンやトランスミッションの効率向上に注ぎ込み、その成果を「スカイアクティブ」として発表したことはご存じだろう。

スカイアクティブ技術を投入したクリーンディーゼル搭載のCX-5は、国内で高い人気を獲得。続くフルスカイアクティブ搭載モデルのアテンザ(写真右上)が2012年11月に正式発表されたことも記憶に新しい。

次に登場するモデルは、より量販が見込めるデミオとアクセラ(写真右下)。アクセラは2011年秋の一部改良でエンジン(ガソリン2L直噴)とATがスカイアクティブに切り替わったが、次期モデルでは前述の2モデル同様、シャーシやボディも含めフルスカイアクティブへと進化する。

パワートレインは、アテンザの販売動向次第で、同車に用いられる2.2Lディーゼルターボが採用される可能性もある。ガソリンエンジンでは、国内仕様のアクセラで販売量の多い1.5Lユニットも、スカイアクティブGになる公算が大きい。これでスカイアクティブガソリンユニットは、1.3L、1.5L、2L、2.5Lが揃うことになる。

エクステリアは、アテンザと同様にマツダの新デザインテーマ「魂動(こどう)」に沿ったものが採用される。曲面が多用される流れるようなデザインや、切り立った5角形グリルと切れ長のヘッドランプが印象的なフロントマスクなど、アテンザ譲りの遠くからでもひと目でマツダ車とわかる意匠が与えられるに違いない。登場は2013年冬、遅くても14年前半になる見通しだ。

2013 Subaru Stella

2013 Subaru Stella


In response to Daihatsu released the facelifted 2013 Move lineup complete with improved e:S technology that propelled them to 29kmpl of fuel economy based on JC08 Mode standards and a new safety system called "Smart Assist" which also comes with an auto-braking feature similar to Volvo's and Subaru's, it seems that here comes an "emergency facelift" for the Subaru Stella twin, therefore, all the technology and the impressive fuel saver gizmo applied on the 2013 Move are bolted in the Subaru Stella compact kei car, which is essentially a rebadged Daihatsu Move when it was launched in May 2011.

Although, the Stella and its Stella Custom stablemate has a very different face than the 2013 Daihatsu Move, it still comes with the newly improved e:S Technology with CVT Thermo Controller that helps get their fuel economy up to 29kmpl and also the SMART ASSIST system that comes with the auto-stop feature that can automatically brake the car in a near-collision scenario.

Sales start at January 2013 across Japan.

A NEW TARDIS?!

A couple of weeks ago, BBC showcased a teaser photo for what some say this could be the new look inside the TARDIS.

???????

We were confused about this and we kept asking "Is this the new look inside the TARDIS?". We also heard that prior to the DW 2012 Christmas Special, there's going to be a brand new version of the Doctor Who theme song. Puzzling, isn't it? Now, BBC revealed another photo of the NEW TARDIS as well as the Eleventh Doctor's new (and questionable) costume...

New TARDIS interior and Eleventh Doctor's new costume

What's so cool that the console's now revamped, bringing it back to its roots. The new Eleventh Doctor costume is kinda puzzling. It becomes more classical, more vintage, but still more Who factor for our time lord hero.

See the full view on the Doctor Who Christmas Special "The Snowmen", Christmas Day at these times:

UK - 5:15pm on BBC One
US - 9/8 central on BBC America (U.S.)
Canada - 9E/6P on Space (Canada)
Australia - Boxing Day, Wednesday 26 December 2012 at 7.30pm on ABC1.

Does everyone watched this year's Miss Universe? If you did, you might heard that USA's Olivia Culpo took home the crown and glory as Miss Universe 2012 while our very own Miss Philippines Janine Tugonon is 2nd place while Miss Venezuela Irene Sofia Esser Quintero placed 3rd, Miss Australia Renae Ayris placed 4th, and Miss Brazil Gabriela Markus placed 5th.

Seems that these beauty queens got the looks, the finesse, the moves and the guts to answer questions the Miss Universe committee can throw at them. To those who made it to the top spot, I just wanna say congratulations. As for you, Miss Philippines, even though you were placed 2nd, I'd expect great things coming for you. Great things...

Daihatsu Move Fifth-Generation Minor Change

A couple of months ago, Suzuki Motor Corporation just launched their most fuel efficient Wagon R ever complete with new fuel-efficient features that propelled its fuel economy to 28.8kmpl. Some people say that this fuel economy is sure enough to outwit the Daihatsu Move's 27kmpl fuel economy based on JC08 Mode standards. In such response, Suzuki vs. Daihatsu, the battle for fuel economy supremacy, rages on because in response to the new Suzuki Wagon R's antics, Daihatsu waged everything they've got to make something even more fuel efficient than the new Wagon R.

2013 Daihatsu Move

2013 Daihatsu Move Custom
I mean yes, this is the Daihatsu Move. It's still the fifth-generation Daihatsu Move, the kei car that set a benchmark for fuel economy figures and the car that staged a fight against Suzuki in a war of fuel economy. However, this is no ordinary Move because this is the minor change model for the fifth-generation Move. Even though it's a facelifted model, Daihatsu added some new features, something that no other kei car in Japan comes close. What I heard is that this facelifted version of the Move now comes with SMART ASSIST. My thoughts exactly, folks. This is the first time a kei car has applied this; a braking system similar to Volvo's City Safety and Subaru's Eyesight Ver. 2. Meaning that the facelifted version of the Move can now brake by itself in a near-collision scenario. Don't ask how...

Forgive me, ladies and gentlemen, because this is a very serious first look to this new version of the Move and you know me, I'm wasn't quite serious enough getting to know new cars but for this new Move, things are going to be wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey for now.

Where was I? Oh yeah! You know that in the previous fifth-generation Move, it bears the TNP27 slogan because of its 27kmpl fuel economy thanks to its idling stop feature and CVT. For this updated version can you guess what is the fuel consumption of the 2013 Daihatsu Move? Who says 27? Wrong. 28? Nope. 28.8 like the Suzuki Wagon R? Wrong again, you're getting warmer. It's now 29kmpl! The 2013 Daihatsu Move now returns up to 29kmpl based on JC08 Mode standards! How's that possible?

To tell you why, that's because Daihatsu implemented an updated version of e:S Technology first applied on the Mira e:S. I said it "updated" because they've added CVT Thermo Controller for the first time in a kei car. I have no idea how does the new CVT Thermo Controller works in the 2013 Move but what I heard that this new feature maintains the engine temperature. That's it. Don't tell me how it works...again. That's not my responsibility.

However, with their newly improved idling stop system and newly improved e:S Technology implemented so successful, they've even placed it on the turbocharged Move Custom RS version. In a turbocharged version available only on the Move Custom, this gives about 25.2kmpl of fuel economy.

2013 Daihatsu Move interior
2013 Daihatsu Move Custom interior
So far, so good but we're not out in the woods yet. In terms of pricing, the 2013 Move starts at 1,070,000 Japanese Yen for the X model up to 1,591,000 Japanese Yen for the Move Custom X "Limited SA" model with 4WD powertrain on it. Better take note, idiot boys; IT'S AVAILABLE ONLY IN JAPAN. That's it.

Forza Horizon: Let the rally commence!

Eat dirt!

Today is the day the RALLY EXPANSION pack on Forza Horizon is out. With this pack, the whole Colorado gets down and dirty, transforming the Horiozn Festival into a rally driver's dream come true. On this expansion, this will test the mettle of your rally instincts, showing everyone who's got the skills to rule the dirtier side of the festival. On this pack, you'll expect five new cars that are brave enough to rally;

2005 Subaru Impreza WRX Sti
1982 Lancia 037 Stradale
1992 Ford Escort RS Cosworth
1992 Toyota Celica GT-Four RC ST185
2004 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII MR

This pack costs 1600 MSP but if you're a season pass holder, it's free and not just that, you'll also receive this month's Season Pass bonus car; the 2003 Ford SVT Focus. That's Ford's rally-bred monster that's sure in handy later.

By the time you have the Rally Expansion and if you're tuning your car at the garage, you'll now have new rally-oriented tuning kits available such as the Rally Tires, rally suspension, and a short-gear ratio gearbox which is a necessity in the world of rallying. Almost all of the cars are welcomed to use such rally-oriented tuning kits and if you have the rally parts, you are cleared to rally. Happily however, these rally-oriented parts are usable in any mode, meaning that these kinds should be put to good use if you're in a game of KING at the Carson Golf Course. There are new rivals mode, online matches, and new achievements to see in the Horizon Rally Expansion.

In the world of rallying, time is your only enemy. Make sure you master the dirt very well and aim for the fastest time. If you mess it up, your rankings will suffer. Make sure you don't mess it up and concentrate on the road ahead in order to master the art of rallying. Oh, and don't be distracted by the beautiful scenery around you. Each event consists of four stages and if you set an overall fastest after four stages, you can advance to the next event and if you cleared all seven events, you've done it. That means you've conquered dirt and rallying.

You may clear it but did your progress fared well against your rivals from across the globe? Take them on the Rivals Mode and aim to be the fastest.

Well folks, hope you're enjoying some good time shoveling dirt on your opponents' front windows and rule the dirt in the world of rallying.

'Doctor Who' Praised In Study Of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexuals In Media?!

Torchwood: Miracle Day
Torchwood: Miracle Day

Something ain't quite right...seems that the BBC were highly praised for gay characters in their shows and it seems that the world famous Doctor Who sci-fi show was one of them. Seriously? Did this ever-favorite sci-fi show had a "gay character" on it?

Well, we saw Doctor kissing Rory in an episode titled Dinosaurs on a Spaceship but no. We're not referring to that. Some say that some character from Doctor Who is "metrosexual". The Eleventh Doctor? Nope. Not really. A kiss to Rory don't count. Someone referring to the time agent/con man/Torchwood operative Captain Jack Harkness, played by John Barrowman.

Captain Jack is one of The Doctor's allies and star of the Torchwood spin-off program where he leads the Torchwood Three team, investigating alien activities but at the cost of their lives as a Torchwood operative. Some say that Captain Jack's an openly bisexual action hero on both series.

Very clever...my granny would think about that he's gay. And by gay, we're not going to blast the whole Derek the gay old man dialogue. He he he...Derek the gay old man...another Catherine Tate stuff...

WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU INSINUATING?!

A couple of months ago, Wald unveiled their first body kit for the Toyota 86 sports car with a front half spoiler, side skirts, a duck tail-like boot lid spoiler, and two-tone alloy wheels. For next year's Tokyo Auto Salon, WALD tries to make it even more serious with the Sports Line edition for the Toyota 86.

Top Gear Magazine December 2012 issue

Top Gear Magazine December 2012 issue

2012, it's almost over, and BBC's Top Gear Magazine are in search for the best car of 2012. Not only that, seems that the Top Gear boys chose their best cars of the year that tickles their fancies. As some of them who has this magazine, they might recognize that the latest Ferrari, the F12berlinetta, became BBC Top Gear Magazine's Supercar of the Year 2012. Pagani Huayra is Richard Hammond's Car of the Year, Toyota 86 is Jeremy Clarkson's Car of the Year, and McLaren MP4-12C Spider is James May's Car of the Year.

Hammond’s Car of the Year: Pagani Huayra


“My Car of the Year is not going to revolutionise personal transport, reinvent motorsport or solve the looming energy crisis. It is a machine so unlikely ever to be a real, material presence in most of our lives that it may as well be a unicorn. And there it is: the Pagani Huayra. Perhaps unicorn is the best way to describe it…
Well, someone had to nominate the Huayra. And Richard – being someone who embraces guilt-free boyish excitement – fell in love with the most outrageous car of 2012. A car that not only represents the cutting edge of car technology, but the poster-possible styling that comes from the beautiful mind of Horacio Pagani. In this month’s Top Gear magazine, Richard finally gets a chance to play with the Huayra around our deserted Dunsfold track, and it’s fair to say he comes away impressed. And the scent of tortured tyres attracts a certain white-suited individual…

Jeremy’s Car of the Year: Toyota GT86
You thought Jeremy would immediately pick the most expensive or most powerful car here, didn’t you? Well, he didn’t… he picked one of the cheapest and least powerful. But he had his reasons. The Toyota GT86 is a new way of looking at an old problem: how to have fun in a reasonably priced car. Now, TG has a long association with cheap thrills, but the GT86 tries very hard to re-educate a generation of hot-hatch motorists on the joys of rear-wheel drive. And it succeeds, by being exciting, relatively cheap and accessible to mere mortals. It’s good, people. Be excited.
“I like the GT86 because it’s come barrelling into the bottom end of the marketplace with a big dirty smile on its face and a suggestion in the way it stands that it wants to have fun with your middle parts. It’s a car designed for one thing only: fun.”
See video of Jezza in the GT86 at TopGear.com

May’s Car of the Year: McLaren 12C Spider

James May is a fan of good design and an even bigger exponent of excellence in engineering: two things he found in abundance in the new McLaren 12C Spider – a convertible that neatly beheads the usual arguments against convertible cars by being as perfectly dynamic as the coupe version. Except with a mighty sunroof. Driving the car exclusively for TG mag along the highest paved road in Europe, James discovered that the 12C Spider was:
“Perhaps the most benign supercar I’ve ever tried. Some would want to be admired for their courage in mastering a Ferrari GTO or that demanding Lamborghini Aventador, but I say cobblers to that. I can challenge myself by learning to play the violin. This is a good-time car and I want a good time. I get it.”

Yep, we're talking about our old pals from A Good Man Goes to War episode; Madame Vastra, Jenny Flint and Strax.

For this second prologue, called Vastra Investigates, well, you have to watch this and find out:

Doctor Who: The Snowmen premieres Christmas Day!

UK - 5:15pm on BBC One

American Whovians get to see the new K9!

The new K9!

Doctor Who fans love the robot dog named K9. Whether if its from the old Doctor Who years or as Sarah Jane's trusty sidekick, it's still one of the best Doctor Who character that I like to define it as either "The Doctor's Best Friend" or "Sarah Jane's Best Friend". A couple of years ago, in UK, they've aired a new K9 spin-off show featuring the all new K9 robot dog, complete with a new look, new hovering ability, and the same K9 loyalty from its predecessors. Here's how this show is about:

In the not too distant future, Earth was been ravaged by disasters and the government made cyborg technology that replaces human law enforcement with Cybernetic Civil Pacification Corps, which was ruled by the Department.

K9 was once a robot dog made by a professor who accepted a position at the Bi-Al Foundation from the 50th century. If you recall the old Doctor Who, the foundation summoned The Doctor and his then-partner, Leela, and then he's suffered by some intelligent virus, which the professor and K9 made an antidote to save him. Before The Doctor and Leela left, the professor offered K9 to them to aid in The Doctor's journeys. When The Doctor bid farewell to Leela because she has to stay in Gallifrey with commander Andred, K9 was offered to stay with Leela.

After that, The Doctor created an exact copy of K9. Dubbed Mk.2, it has the same features as K9 but comes with a stronger power source, improved tracking circuits, and for added defense, a blaster on K9's nose. K9 remained with The Doctor until the TARDIS was stolen by a time-sensitive Tharil named Blorc. K9, along with a Time Lady and The Doctor's then-partner, Romana, was imprisoned but freed by a Tharil named Lazlo. With the Tharils freed and The Doctor and the TARDIS catapulted back to normal space, K9 chose to be in E-space with Romana in order to save the Tharils from slavery.

The Doctor built K9 Mk.3 and this version was a present for his former partner, Sarah Jane Smith. The Mk3 version comes handy in the rounding up of a witches coven at Moreton-Harwood.

In Series 2 of the new Who, The (Tenth) Doctor, along with Rose and Mickey, come face-to-face with his former partner, Sarah Jane, in an episode called School Reunion. On that episode, in order to stop the Krillitanes, K9 sacrificed himself to save the students. When, The Doctor, Rose, and Mickey, bid farewell to Sarah Jane, he left a present for her, an improved version of K9, called Mk4, which aided Sarah Jane on her adventures from a Doctor Who spin-off (most of it may remember it right before the passing of the actress who played Sarah Jane, who is Elisabeth Sladen, last year) called The Sarah Jane Adventures.

Anyway, enough story telling for that, onto the new K9 spinoff. He arrives at Professor Gryffen's home. Gryffen was an expert who made an Alien Space-Time Manipulator, which travels K9 to distant worlds and he was been followed by alien enemies, the Jixen Warriors who attacked Gryffen, and some teenagers named Starkey and Jorjie. To save them, K9 self-destruct himself but miraculously reformed by some strange alien device planted on his mainframe. Thus, the new K9 was born. Such new features on the new K9 did come with a terrible consequence; he lost his memory. Yep, K9 completely forgot about himself so in this new spin-off, not only the new K9 pledged to save mankind from aliens and a cybernetic empire that rules with an iron fist but also trying to cope up with its past. Aiding the new K9 was Starkey, Jorjie, and Darius who was the teenager Gryffen often asks him for errands.

America's SyFy channel was very pleased to air K9 in the US telly and as a treat, Christmas Day –Tuesday, December 25 – from 10AM-11PM ET/PT. 

Everybody say AFFIRMATIVE!

1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am

Appeared in a hilarious redneck car chase movie, titled Smokey and the Bandit, starring Burt Reynolds, you're looking at the legend that took places where no car has gone before. Big Enos was right about this because this is a legendary muscle car you'll find it hard to catch behind the wheel.

1934 Chrysler Airflow

Now when Chrysler launched the Airflow back in the 1930's, Chrysler made a marketing stint for this car. They've stuck the car going backwards throughout Detroit, Michigan and this kind of marketing is just one of the examples Chrysler had planned something big, meaning that this car will emerge that no other car has to offer.

2010 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1

When it was debuted at the 2008 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, this was hailed as America's most powerful production car and it became the benchmark for General Motors' performance benchmark. Countless motorsport involvements with the Corvette had been tinkered to this remarkable achievement that transforms the Corvette into a half-decent supercar that competes against Europe's and Japan's finest.
