All about eAssist

2012 Buick LaCrosse

2012 Buick Regal

Back in November 2010, at the Los Angeles Auto Show, General Motors announced the next generation BAS (Belted Alternator System) Hybrid system called "eAssist" and the first models to be equipped with this new mild hybrid system are the 2012MY Buick LaCrosse and 2012MY Buick Regal.

Before we explain about the new eAssist system, let's talk about what just happened at the Buick LaCrosse and the Buick Regal for the 2012 Model Year. The change was the trim names. As of now, Buick will start ditching the CXL/CX/CXS trim names in favor of something specific like Base, Convenience, Leather, Premium, or Touring. That's all, let's explain about eAssist:

The new eAssist system features a powerful 115-Volt Lithium-ion battery sourced from Hitachi, generating a 20HP, 79lb-ft electric motor that provides aid to the 2.4L ECOTEC engine. This new system will provide useful features such as idling stop system, regenerative braking, and a fuel economy of 36MPG (15.3km/L) highway. The new eAssist system comes standard on the 2012 Buick LaCrosse but on the 2012 Buick Regal, it may be considered an optional feature. Either way, they both come with a modified version of the 6T40 6-speed AT FWD transaxle.

NASAAN KA ELISA?

Uh, excuse me. We're not referring to some new drama called "Nasaan Ka Elisa?"

Where was I? Oh yes! The singer behind the theme songs from To Aru Kagaku no Railgun and Hayate no Gotoku 2nd Season of course!

Don't worry she's okay. Word from the mouth is that she's pausing her career due to health concerns according to her agency, Smile Company. This announcement came also with the cancellation her October 2 concert at the Tokyo Globe-za theater, especially her future concerts as well.

As of now, her official twitter account "elisa_tsubuyaki" has been removed for now. Sad to let her go but this is for her good cause.

マクラーレンF1のすべて

"I've always dreamt about doing a really high performance sports car on the road" - Gordon Murray

Back in the 1990's a decade before the rise of the Bugatti Veyron, a car company called McLaren created the world's most fastest supercar back then, under the name of McLaren F1. Just like the Bugatti Veyron, the McLaren F1 is one of the most exciting vehicles to drive for an elite driver. Just imagine, if you drive it on the streets of Tokyo, New York, Rome, Paris, London, especially Dubai, Geneva, and other exotic locations, it's no surprise that the McLaren F1 is highly seductive, even after a few decades have passed since its introduction to the world in May 1992, it still looks good enough. From its inception up until its demise in 1998, about 106 McLaren F1 models have been made and it costs half-a-million pounds back in 1993, making it the most expensive car to own back then.

McLaren F1 at Circuit de la Sarthe

The McLaren F1 is powered with the 6.1L V12 engine sourced from BMW, providing 627HP of power and 480.26ft-lb of torque. Fast fact that the McLaren F1's engine bay is lined with gold because gold is the best, it reflects, and a special 6-speed manual was developed because there is no existing gearbox that can survive the torque of the 6.1L BMW engine. The McLaren F1 is the world's first carbon fiber bodied car because most of the components are made of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic. With such idea, the McLaren F1 weighs about 1140kg. What's so special is the interior because the driver's seat was positioned at the middle for some racing driver sensation. What a cool idea that Mr. Gordon Murray made it and I thank him for that. For a trivia: did you know that the McLaren F1's preferred audio system is Kenwood?

What will The Stig reacts to this one? Some say,
The Stig was impressed to drive the McLaren F1 or not

In Gran Turismo 5, the McLaren F1 costs about 1,000,000 credits and you need to be at Level 17 (A-spec or B-spec) to purchase this wonderful machine Gordon Murray created. Once you own it, you can tune it as far as about 840HP of power and 970kg of weight. That's lighter than a fully tuned Bugatti Veyron that weighs about 1424kg. If you've already watched a drag race between the McLaren F1 and the Bugatti Veyron in Dubai on a certain Top Gear episode, you should know that the McLaren F1 is ahead against the Veyron on a 0-100kph run but by 240kph, the Bugatti Veyron's spoiler kicks in, giving much speed to overtake the F1 and obliterate it. If the real-life McLaren F1 has no ABS and no Traction Control, I think you might apply it on GT5 as well, but without these driving aids, the McLaren F1 is hard to master because of the traction and the braking but once you'll get a hang of it, you'll get used to it.

Looks like Top Gun

Not exactly as good as a Bugatti Veyron but the McLaren F1 is finely the most elegant exotic GT5 players can try not only because of its heritage or its power but it can be a perfect car to take it on a Photo Travel. It seems that Mr. Gordon Murray created this machine just so to become the ultimate driving machine ever remembered by many. I'm sure most owners of the legendary McLaren F1 are very happy about the way this car should be thanks to its seamless reputation. It's something that made me smiled.

There's no way you can't fit as much children in one van!

In weird news: someone from China was caught driving 64 kids inside the van! Wouldn't you believe it? One time, the police pulled over the driver of a small van because of the overloading law. When the cops saw what's inside this overloaded van, the cop saw that this van packs about 66 passengers - 64 kids and 2 adults. What an unbelievable attempt to fit so much kids inside the van and unfortunately, the driver of the van was quoted "punished" according to related laws and regulations.

We're not sure how the heck did he do that, especially when the seats passenger seats' been replaced with benches...

Mitsubishi wants its own version of the Nissan Fuga

2011 Nissan Fuga Hybrid

With Nissan and Mitsubishi Motors' partnership on full circle, it seems that Mitsubishi Motors want its own version of the Nissan Fuga (Infiniti M) Y51 for their successor to the Diamante sedan.

Thanks to the "give-take" scenario for the likes of Mitsubishi kei cars such as the Minicab and eK Wagon rebadged as Nissan Clipper Rio and Nissan Otti (and a possibility of another Delica based on the Nissan NV200 Vanette that will slot between the Delica D5 and the Suzuki Solio-based Delica D2), it seems that the partnership between the two carmakers gotten themselves "leveled up" and for that, a Mitsubishi version of the Nissan Fuga will be on effect by next year.

2012 Mitsubishi Minicab MIEV

Not only Mitsubishi wants its own version of the Nissan Fuga Y51 but Nissan wants its own version of the Mitsubishi Minicab MIEV as well. We are sure that the Nissan-Mitsubishi partnership will be surely be a good one much like the partnership between Toyota and Fuji Heavy Industries. Looking forward to see them as an ally rather than formidable rivals.

Welcome kang tumakbo, I run every morning." In fact, she has no affinity to politicians, making it a different run.

There's something funnier than that!

Busou Shinki Battle Masters Mk.2

Busou Shinki Battle Masters Mk.2

With the success of last year's Busou Shinki Batle Masters PSP game, the introduction of the all new Busou Shinki Batle Masters Mk.2 enhances the Busou Shinki experience even further through new parts, new battles, new arenas, new challenges, and a new wide selection of Busou Shinki models waiting for you to own it.

And by saying wide selection, Battle Masters Mk.2 offers some of your favorite Busou Shinki models such as Arnval Mk.2 (CV: Kana Asumi), Strarf Mk.2 (CV: Misato Fukuen), Howling (CV: Eri Kitamura), Maochao (CV: Mai Hashimoto), Fubuki (CV: Yukari Fukui), Zelnogrard (CV: Ryoko Shiraishi), Arc (CV: Yui Horie), Yda (CV: Yukari Tamura), Altlene (CV: Megumi Nakajima), and Altines (CV: Kaori Mizuhashi). There was an addition of new Busou Shinki models you might be highly interested with such as Eukrante (CV: Emiri Kato), Ianeira (CV: Marina Inoue), Tsugaru (CV: Rie Kugimiya), and much more. Other Busou Shinki models can be attainable by purchasing some add-on contents from the Playstation Network Store. Each model costs about 600 Japanese Yen and it takes some minor space on your PSP's Memory Stick Duo.

The goal of this game is simple, buy your very own Busou Shinki and work your way to the top to become an F1 Champion while winning the heart of your Busou Shinki model. This ain't going to be easy because you will need some parts and modifications which are essential for your Shinki's speed, defense, attack, evasion, and others.

This gameplay is just like the first one, it has some Zone of the Enders-style gameplay but only you have to take down your rival Shinki in order to win. When you're taking a break from a battle, you can take your Shinki outside and chat. It's like Zone of the Enders meets Loveplus, making it a unique chemistry but your duty to become the F1 champion is a long road ahead.

Plus more, there is a Profile Import feature where your hard work done from the first Battle Masters video game can be carried over to Mk.2 so you can have as much fun if possible but still a long road ahead to become an F1 champion.

LIMITED EDITION:
The limited edition packaging, exclusively on Konamistyle, not only includes the game but two Busou Shinki figures such as Arnval Mk.2 and Strarf Mk. 2 are included, bonus DLC card, swimwear editions of both Arnval Mk.2 and Strarf Mk. 2, two sets of folders, and an Original Soundtrack of the game as well. The standard version is available now with the limited edition will be available at the end of September.

It's true! - Infiniti M Hybrid's the fastest hybrid car!

2012 Infiniti M Hybrid

The Infiniti M Hybrid, known in Japan as the Nissan Fuga Hybrid, is the first high-performance hybrid that delivers the power of the V8 engine and the fuel efficiency of a 4-cylinder engine thanks to the new Infiniti Direct Response Hybrid system.

By interest, the Infiniti M Hybrid sets a new Guinness World Record as the fastest hybrid vehicle while running straight at the Santa Pod Raceway in the United Kingdom.

According to Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., the Infiniti M Hybrid's time of 5.5 seconds is on par with the 1982 Lamborghini Countach within a few tenths of some Porsches, Ferraris, and Aston Martins.

This is going to be "up in smoke at Tokyo Bay"!

Does Daihatsu really need Bruce Willis to do the Mira e:S commercial?

With the recent launch of the world's most fuel efficient gasoline-fed vehicle, the Daihatsu Mira e:S, this Japanese kei car maker launched two unique TV commercials for the Mira e:S aired in Japan one day after the car's launch date. So, why would we need Bruce Willis to do this ad? Besides, Bruce Willis is an action star, why would you bring a star in a reasonably priced car commercial?

LOL at that ad where Bruce Willis said it wrong. "DAIMOTSU MIRO OOS!"

Mr. Willis, that's "Daihatsu Mira e:S". ミライース！
