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 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.

Some stupidity at the swimming pool Banana Split wants you to avoid it

You know, it's okay to have fun at a swimming pool at some resort you visited during hot summer days. However, there are some things that is not okay at the swimming pool. Here at Banana Split, we avoid something that is O.A. On the May 17, 2011 episode, we showcased three stupid things we want you to stop it so we can't shout the words "ANG O.A. MO!" to you! Like for instance;

1) Geared with floats if you're afraid to swim

Geared for floating!

2) You used the car's tires as salbabida!

Using tyres as salbabida!

3) As a lifeguard, you mistaken them for drowning!

"I'm not drowning, you idiot!"

Promise Banana Split not to do it? If done again...

ANG O.A. MO!

Hayate no Gotoku Heaven is a Place on Earth showing on late August 2011! Negima Anime Final also showing on the same date! OH MY!

NegiHaya movie poster! orz

Oh my gosh! The upcoming Hayate no Gotoku (Hayate the Combat Butler) movie titled "Hayate no Gotoku Heaven is a Place On Earth" is slated to show in theaters this late August 27, in time before summer ends. However, there is a huge twist; the upcoming Mahou Sensei Negima movie titled "Mahou Sensei Negima! Anime Final" is slated to premiere in theaters the same day as Hayate no Gotoku Heaven is a Place on Earth premieres! OH MY!

I felt disgraced seeing two of my all-time favorites spawn theatrical movie versions and set to be head-to-head for the August 27, 2011 premiere! I had to remember that Mahou Sensei Negima is a manga series serialized in Kodansha's Shonen Magazine and it spawned an anime version in 2005, revised in late 2006 (under the title Negima!?), and later a live-action drama since late 2007. Hayate the Combat Butler, on the other hand, is one of the most successful titles serialized in Shogakukan's Shonen Sunday. It spawned as an anime version since 2007 and later gained a second season in Spring 2009. The drama version in Taiwan is yet to be released soon.

Let's just say both of my favorites are rivals and this will be "Sunday vs. Magazine" all over again since the Sunday vs. Magazine happened in 2009. This would be troublesome to see my favorites clashing over for the box office hits!

Both the Hayate movie and the Negima movie slated for late August premiere! Which one will score?

2012 Toyota Isis gains new face, adds three new colors

2012 Toyota Isis

Well, Toyota's JDM minivan, the Isis, seems to be aging for the past seven years since it was first launched in late 2004 and gained a major face lift in 2007. Now on its 2012 Model Year, the Toyota Isis received a new face that keeps this aging minivan updated.

Also, the 2012 Isis adds three new colors; Silky Gold Mica Metallic, Bordeaux Mica Metallic, and Black, ranging from a total of eight colors.

A new variant called the Toyota Isis Platana V SELECTION is added for style.

Expect nothing changed on the Isis' 1.8L 2ZR-FAE and 2.0L 3ZR-FAE engines with Valvematic.

I think there's a possibility of an unavoidable delay of delivery that occurred from the recently launched Prius Alpha MPV.
