The dark side of the Fiesta

2012 Ford Fiesta AB35


In New Zealand, Ford unveiled a much "darker" side of the Fiesta in a form of a special edition Ford Fiesta AB35. It was made in collaboration of New Zealand's rugby union team known as All Blacks and as the name says, it is limited to 35 units available.


Do I think that Ford Group Philippines need to create special edition Fiesta models because it was too popular for Philippine customers? Hope so...

GM Korea Chevrolet Cruze5

2012 GM Korea Chevrolet Cruze5

When the Chevrolet Cruze arrived in South Korea in March 2011 (when Chevrolet is officially official in South Korea) as a replacement to the highly criticized GM Daewoo Lacetti Premiere, it became the status symbol of being a global compact sized sedan targeted against the Kia Forte and the Hyundai Avante/Elantra. When Summer 2011 begins in South Korea, GM Korea Company sizzles up the heat with the addition of the 5-door variant of the Chevrolet Cruze known as Cruze5 (쉐보레 크루즈5).

GM Korea's Chevrolet Cruze5 has the same "perfect balance" of style and performance of its sedan counterpart now with the added space that makes it a decent rival to the Kia Forte Hatchback and Hyundai i30. The South Korea's "Big 3" are ready to lash out their blend of hatchbacks and this Cruze5 tops it all with its European design, dynamic front view, attractive rear view, and the same interior styling from the sedan. As a hatchback ready to take on Europe soon and the rest of the world, the Cruze5 is designed to fit the most out of everyone with its 5-seater capacity and the seating arrangements that will surely fit your personal preferences.

Two engine types are available of the Chevy Cruze5 such as 1.8 DOHC ECO-TEC engine and the 2.0L VCDi Common Rail diesel engine. The 1.8 DOHC engine produces about 142ps/6200rpm of power output, 17.8kg·m/3800rpm of torque output, and the fuel economy of 13.7km/L. The Cruze5's 2.0L CRDi engine releases a powerful 163ps/3800rpm of power, 36.7kg·m/2750rpm of torque, and the fuel economy of 15.9km/L. Consider the CRDi engine equipped on the Cruze5 a perfect balance of power and ecology because of its Euro V compliance. Most of them are fully equipped with the 6-speed Hydromatic transmission that allows this automatic transmission to go from AUTO to MANUAL for fun driving.

My Comment:
A perfect balance of style and performance is what you expect on the Chevrolet Cruze sedan that was made in Bupyeong-gu, Incheon. With the hatchback brother, the Chevrolet Cruze5, you can expect the same perfect balance of style and performance from a sedan, now with the added space perfect enough for the long Korean summer getaway. This looks great for the young adults when they want to do some free time anywhere at the streets of Seoul.

If only The Covenant Car Company Inc. has the chance to bring the Korean-made Chevy Cruze5 to the Philippines, this could be the perfect rival to the Mazda3 hatchback, Hyundai i30, or even the Ford Focus.

Once a problem, always a problem

Mang Ben falls in line


Mang Ben just made a huge problem. He's just falling in line for some job applications when suddenly, he's about to go to the CR. While struggling, he imagines those in his thoughts...

Something watery

Something something watery

Something something something
watery

He's going to the CR but with a risk: FALL BACK TO THE LINE AT THE BEGINNING!

Check out set of problems that once solved, it created a double whammy on NEW PROBLEMA such as:

Number One: You want to buy food so you resort on breaking the piggy bank but it ended with your fingers wounded by the cut

MY FINGERS!

Number Two: You want to escape from a meeting by lying to him but later on the lie became the truth in just a phone call away

WHAT?! WE'VE BEEN ROBBED?!

Number Three: You want to make lusot to your wife because she caught you having a number two but number two times two equals TROUBLE!

Number two times two equals
TROUBLE!!

Like what Major Problem said, just never mind about the problems because if you forced to solve it, there's going to be major major disasters or worse... NEW PROBLEMA!

Porsche 911 GT3 RS (997) - Forza 3 Owner's View

Porsche 911 GT3 RS (997)


Naomi Umegae itasha 911 GT3 RS




Final Impressions: How did I got attracted to the roaring temptation of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS? Well for some reasons, I did so many things on this racing machine. I even race or made a battering ram against other players on the Last Car Standing online game. It was pretty tempting to take a spin of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS (997).

Whoever made a Naomi Umegae itasha out of the 911 GT3 RS, I say Thank You for having such a good design and that fueled my enthusiasm over the 911 GT3 RS. Technically speaking, the 911 GT3 RS had a rough start but it sure is tough to master until I get the hang of it.

Now if only I can find a real life 911 GT3 RS in a gray market dealer somewhere at Metro Manila...
