Officially official? 2012 Honda Fit Shuttle to be released this mid-June?

2012 Honda Fit Shuttle Hybrid


Is this officially official?

Scoop:

According to this article, the new launch date of the 2012 Honda Fit Shuttle is slated for June 16 launch. This car originally to be released in mid-March but later delayed because of the Great Northeastern Japan Earthquake since March 11, 2011 and also the parts shortage.

Besides, it's too late to launch it because Toyota launched the Prius Alpha MPV since May 13 but delivery is delayed to April 2012. I think Honda may follow suit that once the Fit Shuttle's released (in both the Gas and Hybrid variants), delay of deliveries may follow. orz

Kia Forte Koup - Forza 3 Owner's View

Are you the Forte Koup GDI?


The first Kia to be made it
on Forza 3!

It may be a Civic Si clone,
but this Korean is worth it!



Final Impressions: Over the years, not even a single Kia car made it on the racing video games not until July 2010 when Forza Motorsport 3 placed the Kia Forte Koup, launched since June 2009, in the World Class Car Pack, making the Kia Forte Koup the first Kia car that made it on the racing video games and Forza 3 was its first to feature this car!

Known in some countries as the Cerato Koup or as the Shuma in China, the Forte Koup is the sportiest Kia ever made to outwit the likes of the USDM Honda Civic Si Coupe, even when the Forte Koup was just a Korean clone car of the USDM Honda Civic Si Coupe! orz

Despite the Kia Forte Koup is not powerful enough, it can be a perfect car to decorate whatever they want. They can also duplicate the Kia Kinetic Motorsports Forte Koup Race Car as well, which can be a bigger deal.

Because the Kia Forte Koup is classified as a sports car, this is the first Kia car that ever made it on the racing games, and Forza Motorsport 3 is the first racing video game to feature this Kia! Congratulations. Looks like the Kia Forte Koup is truly a world class Korean FF sports car after all.

Bridgestone Potenza


Bridgestone's Potenza tires used to be "the only F1 tire" because it was proven to be highly responsive in Formula One cars. Now that Bridgestone is out on the F1 and replaced by Pirelli, it seems that the Potenza name and the Bridgestone brand continues to be deteriorated due to low recognition.

Despite this, the Philippines still bringing good recognition to Bridgestone and for that, Philippine Allied Enterprises Corporation, Philippine Bridgestone distributor, unveiled the new line of Potenza sports tires. The Potenza S001 and Potenza Adrenalin RE002 are now finally arrived in the Philippines and owners of high-performance sports cars will be happy to know about the tire that used to be "the only F1 tire".


Don't hit "Reply All" just yet. We want to experience the "Soul Sports" offered from the Japanese tire brand.

Even though he didn't made the Pole Position, S. Vettel still reigns at Spain

The May 22, 2011 Spain GP was a close one. Even though his teammate, Mark Webber, outwitted Sebastian "S. Vettel" Vettel for Pole Position, S. Vettel still conquered the Spain GP and it was a close one against Lewis Hamilton. I though Lewis Hamilton gonna make it first but S. Vettel made it barely.

Scoop:

So far, in terms of teams, Red Bull Racing is in the lead by 185 points. McLaren-Mercedes still on 2nd place at 138 and Ferrari? 75 points.

Further reading:

Will S. Vettel conquer the Cote D'Azur this May 29? Or there will be other F1 racers hindering his progress? Stay tuned!

Puro tayo iyakan, mag-laugh trip muna tayo!

At the start, we saw Vice Ganda messing around some scenes from 100 Days To Heaven, Mula sa Puso, Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin, Mara Clara, and Green Rose. Well, that's Vice Ganda, this kind of personality blows out 999,999,999,999 horsepower of fun and entertainment on Vice Ganda's first talk show titled Gandang Gabi Vice!

I'm glad we saw Showtime's residental judge starting his own talk show and wow, this could be fun! Yes, we witness Vice Ganda's 999,999,999,999 horsepower of madness and fun while having fun with the special guests.

I bet it's all talk, all comedy, on Vice Ganda's new show airing every Sunday nights and I bet this is much more of a threat to GMA's late night Saturday TV show, Comedy Bar.

Keep up the good work, Vice Ganda! We always want more of your maximum horsepower mayhem to put a smile on our faces!

Also, I wonder, upon Vice Ganda bringing in Mang Virgillo, he sang the "Hayop Na Combo" song. Hey, I'm kinda familiar with that...

Not only that, Vice Ganda offers tips in a segment called Vice Ganda. He'll brings a special guest to offer viewers some tips. The pilot episode offered Bea Alonzo as first. Every week, Vice Ganda brings a special guest to solve your life problems.

How can you say about Gandang Gabi Vice? Is it worth it?

Honda CR-Z Mugen


Time to blow the trumpets and warn the car enthusiasts because Honda of UK and Mugen Euro modified the Sport Hybrid Car, the Honda CR-Z (released since February 2010), to a more supercharged one-off special.

Scoop:

Details remain slim but the supercharged tune on the CR-Z makes it even more... NOISIER ENOUGH TO WAKE THE NEIGHBORS!

Time for me to get my earplugs ready!
