Trending Worldwide: #GandangGabiViceFinale

Gandang Gabi Vice was definitely one of the best talk shows aired on ABS-CBN every Sunday night when it first aired on May 22, 2011. However, ABS-CBN regret that this program has finally drawn to a close on the February 19, 2012 episode.after 9 months of fun and excitement. The celebrities who've guested on Gandang Gabi Vice says "Thank You" to Vice Ganda for such fun and excitement.

This program was originally intended to have a lifespan of 13 weeks but due to the respect to Vice Ganda's loyal fans, this show continually pushed back the deadline in order to support the viewers worldwide.

All of the staff involved offer their deepest thanks for the support Vice Ganda got when this program launched in a month before School Year 2011-2012 started. He thanked everyone that allowed Gandang Gabi Vice grow and mature. His journey might be ended but he's sincerely hope that he will have to serve them again in the next three months.

Think of this as a season finale, not a series finale because Vice Ganda will be back in the next three months while next Sunday, his timeslot will be filled by Sarah Geronimo for her new show titled "Sarah G: Live".

7 years of Goin Bulilit!

February 19, 2012 marks the 7th anniversary of ABS-CBN's longest-running kiddie gag show, Goin Bulilit! This special reunites our former Goin Bulilit presenters through the years, especially notable ones like Nash Aguas, Sharlene San Pedro, Kathryn Bernardo, Julia Montes, Igi Boy Flores, Miles Ocampo, and others. They relieve the very first ANO DAW joke that is related to the word, "SHOW", Kathryn "hit backs" the Goin Bulilit music video of "Bulaklak" and "Kiliti" mashed-up with female Goin Bulilit presenters from the past, some reunion gags to bring the good times roll, Sinetch Itey, Ginulungang Palad Rewind, and some Tita Glue on it.

That special 7th anniversary celebration episode made the former Goin Bulilit presenters' time to shine, bringing back their golden goodies that run the ABS-CBN kiddie gag show we love.

Volkswagen CC

2013 Volkswagen CC
2013 Volkswagen CC interior



Now, do you probably remember the Passat CC? Yes, this is Volkswagen's very first four-door coupe and considering as the poor man's CLS. Now, in my understanding that coupes are meant to be a sportscar with two doors but when the CLS was dubbed as the 4-door coupe, I really don't get it. The CLS is not a coupe because it is a 4-door premium sedan. The whole 4-door coupe thing was just a marketing gig but we're not doing a bit of history lesson shall we? We're talking about the Passat CC until now, you may no longer call it the Passat CC anymore because the new name for this updated version is simply "VOLKSWAGEN CC" so think of it as a debutante that is perfect for the rigodon dance. A DEBUTANTE. May be a minor change to the Passat CC but no, it's no longer be called Passat CC. Please don't be confused or you are going "search overload" for this.

Anyway, the Volkswagen CC features a distinctively new face that was derived from its big brother, the Phaeton, and it's younger brother, the Volkswagen Passat B7. This new face really provides more of an "exclusive taste" for the CC and I'm very impressed about how it looks. Much better than the old Passat CC in my opinion. The same old Passat CC back gets reworked with a new rear lamps and a new rear bumper. Now that is an improvement to keep it mountain dew fresh for today's standards.

Now, chances of playing a game of "Dashboard Spot The Difference" would become very high because the the old Passat CC interior was ditched and reworked to make it more user friendly for the new CC. The T-shaped gear lever was been thrown away to somewhat conventional and shaped like a hotdog. The air-conditioner gets reworked too and for the new CC, an analog clock was now been placed at the middle of the dashboard to add some luxuriousness on it. However, the CC still has the old Passat CC instrumental panel, that in my opinion, is not too understandable. With the CC accommodate four (or five) passengers, it's a very different story and for the best sound experience, 10 Dynaudio loudspeakers and advanced digital, powerful amplifier technology were applied as well.

Engines available on the VW CC includes a 1.8 TSi, 2.0 BlueTDI, 2.0 TSi, and 3.6 V6 engine. Most diesel-powered CC variants comes with an idling stop function and battery regeneration mode that recovers braking energy. Gasoline-powered CC variants will get battery regeneration functions but no idling stop. Most variants come with a 6-speed manual transmission while some come with a 6-speed DSG while the VW CC 1.8 TSi comes with a seven speed DSG transmission. The most powerful CC variant is the one with the V6 engine (the one with the 4MOTION all-wheel-drive technology) that produces 300PS of power while the most frugal CC variant is the one with the VV CC 2.0 TDi BlueMotion, the one with the fuel economy of 4.7L/100km. Those are all about choices for the new VW CC.

Interestingly, the VW CC comes with numerous features for some peace of mind, including the all new Side Assist Plus. The new Side Assist Plus combines the uses of Side Assist and Lane Assist, providing the combination and represents the functional extension due to its reliable and urgent warning in case of a specific hazard. This is important work. Also, it comes with fatigue detection system that detects waning driver concentration and alerts the driver with a sound that lasts for five seconds or a visual message displayed at the instrumental panel, telling the driver to take a break from driving. Numerous features include Light Assist (or optional Dynamic Light Assist), XDS transverse differential lock, and the next generation Park Assist system.

Available colors are Candy-Weiss, Reflexsilber Metallic, Light Brown Metallic, Black Oak Brown Metallic, Islandgrau Perleffekt, and Deep Black Perleffekt.

My comment:
It maybe a Passat CC facelift, but this car is no longer the Passat CC because the Passat naming has been dropped and it is known as VOLKSWAGEN CC. As I told you, don't be confused on the naming and think of this car as the debutante in the Volkswagen lineup. For every little piece, the poor man's CLS was redefined to be more luxurious as its siblings.
