Now, the London 2012 Olympic games has finally started and athletes from all over the world, especially the Philippines, have been gathered for this biggest event ever told. Tell you what, that opening ceremony's definitely a blast! I wish David Tennant would see that going to that big cauldron at the top. Heh, Olympic tradition of burning a big cauldron as the start.
Wait...did you got that from a Doctor Who episode? The one when the Tenth Doctor and Rose Tyler went to 2012 for the London 2012 Olyimpics and then later on The Doctor got the torch and run through the top of the stadium and saved the London Olympics?
Ah...whoops! Slipped my mind. He he he.... Someone told me that the opening ceremony, there were Queen Elizabeth, Mr. Bean, and James Bond performed a spectacular entrance to the London 2012 opening ceremony. Oh, someone told me that there were some TARDIS whooshing sounds involved at the opening.
(audience laughing)
Really? Who said that?
My little sis, and oh, Rowan Atkinson, who is Mr. Bean to all, joined the London Symphony Orchestra to perform his version of CHARIOTS OF FIRE.
Unbelievable. That was the coolest start I've ever heard and for the next 17 days, athletes from all over the world, in different shapes, colors, and sizes, have been gathered and GOING FOR THE GOLD. Good luck to everyone, especially the Philippines because...we know you can do it. Don't let us down!
(applause)
Anyway, let's do the news and we begin with this.

| 2013 Lexus LS F Sport? |
Ideally, Lexus will premiere the new 2013 LS next week and what you can see here...isn't a full model change but rather a Phase III of the current generation LS. Again, NOT a full model change, it's their second minor change!
Phase III? Second minor change?
Look. The Lexus LS was launched in Japan since Autumn 2006, then in Autumn 2009, it's the Phase II of the Lexus LS, with the addition of the LS460 Version SZ. When this guy's launched in Japan soon, it will have the new Spindle Grille first seen on the New GS and then, an F Sport variant, which will replace the outgoing SZ version.
So, what you're saying is that in the 2013MY, the F Sport version will replace the SZ version? Sounds convincing but still even with its GS-inspired front face and some dynamic designing, it's still a car for those who are a bunch of business accountants, seniors playing golf, and someone named Brian.

Now, Subaru's been getting along just fine at the Nurburgring but they still want to go back to its rally roots. For a twist, at the 2012 Japan Rally Champinoship, Subaru's ready to put a rally version of their brand's first FR sport coupe, the BRZ. Here's the pic.

| 2012 Subaru BRZ ZERO CAR |
Although, no further details yet, this rally version of the BRZ is called the ZERO CAR but you can see the familiar Subaru livery wrapped on the BRZ, that looks cool but will it work? An FR sportscar dressed in rally overalls for the 2012 Japan Rally Championship?!!
Look, in my understanding, FR cars don't really work on dirt courses. I've experimented various FR cars back in Tokyo Xtreme Racer Drift 2 years ago and I have to say that in most dirt courses, well Hokkaido is their only dirt course in the game, FR cars never really worked.
Yep, I have to agree on your words but...why would they want to put a Toyobaru at a dirt course?
I don't know. Maybe the WRX STi's tenure is up, I don't know....
(audience laughing)
Anyway, while the BRZ goes on the 2012 Japan Rally Championship, its brother, the TOYOTA 86 wants to join the Britcar 24 Hours endurance race. Here's the sketch...

| Toyota 86 racer? |
Whoa! This is getting a bit proper for the TOYOTA 86 but seriously, this new guy's ready to take on the Britcar 24 Hours?
Not sure but by the looks of it, it's still work in progress for this TOYOTA 86 racer. Surely, TOYOTA 86 is all fun with the rear-wheel drive layout, it still needs an expert tamer to tame this new Toyota sportscar. As we all know, if a video game asked if they want the Toyota GT86 or the Scion FR-S be featured, I'm afraid that they will said no because as said, the Gran Turismo games has the exclusive rights for the Toyota 86 and the Scion FR-S, probably because of Toyota planning a Playstation-like track day black box for these. If I was wrong, I will show a picture of myself wearing a fez...
(audience laughing)
A fez? What's a fez?
Some sort of hat that monkeys wearing, like Abu from Aladdin.
Really? Doctor Who wore that on the Series 5 finale and said that "fezzes are cool".
Fezzes are cool? Wow. Thank you for that motivation, Doctor.
(audience laughing)
Speaking of Doctor Who, how's that Sonic Screwdriver toy?
Pretty good. Sounds like the real thing, flashes like a real thing, and how much fun I can pull off.
Oh really? I saw something that there's another take on The Eleventh Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver that looks like the real thing but it can do better than that flashing toy replica.
What?
Although it was styled to look like The Eleventh Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver, this uses infrared (IR) to control entertainment systems including TVs, iPod docks and DVD/Blu-ray players. Up to 39 codes can be stored on this sonic screwdriver remote.
I wanna have one but....
..but you have to wait 'till Late Summer 2012 or Autumn 2012 to buy one for under hundred Dollars.
Oh....
That's more than the flashing sonic screwdriver toy I've recently bought. But a universal remote? Bet someone wants one, even me.
(audience laughing)
Oh come on. You've already have a piece of Doctor Who in your house but bet you can't have one single piece of something British on your home or else you might end up like this

| "Europe Face" from the K-ON movie |
The ヨーロッパ facial expression from last year's K-ON movie.
(audience laughing)
Oh really.
Yes, this is what will look like if you're obsessed with British pop culture.
No! I don't want to be like that!
Calm down, calm down. It's not too late for this whole ヨーロッパ face. All you have to do is slow down, nice and easy, okay?
Got it. And anyway, on that bombshell, that's the news and we'll leave you with a clip featuring a Audi Sport quattro S1 driving through the Kyustendil Hillclimb.
