Hayate the Combat Butler (Taiwan TV Drama)


It's sealed Hayate fans! The Taiwanese live action TV Drama, Hayate the Combat Butler, will air on June 19, 2011, at GTV! This was a shocker because of the released teasers!




Like what it said, the Hayate the Combat Butler TV Drama will star George Hu as Hayate (Xiao Feng), He's Beautiful's Park Shin Hye as Nagi (we don't know that name in Traditional Chinese), and with the addition of Tia Li as Maria. There will be more characters coming soon and when will expect real versions of Hinagiku, Isumi, Sakuya, Wataru and Saki, Nishizawa, Yukiji-sensei, Hakuo Three Amiga, and the rest? Is George Hu ready to dress as a girl, you know, Hermione?  Not sure, but drop everything and pray! This is the most ambitious masterpiece yet and lots of people worked hard for this!

What I heard, ABS-CBN's going to air that too really really soon! Do you think this will work?

Hayate The Combat Butler will air on GTV this June 19, 2011. Be warned, fans. orz

Hyundai Veloster in City Hunter



By interest, a Hyundai Veloster in Blue Ocean color appeared on SBS' action drama, City Hunter, which stars Korean heart throb, Lee Min Ho. Also by interest, this was the car Lee Min Ho used on the Veloster Relay Mission Show.

This "Blue Ocean" Veloster was a favorite among Veloster fans because they were huge fans of Lee Min-Ho.

When a Korean car appeared at a Korean drama which stars famous Koreans, fans made a perfect balance. The Veloster driven by Lee Min Ho in City Hunter was just what we Filipinos are saying "We want a Blue Ocean-colored Veloster because of Lee Min Ho!" and guess what, Hancars has one. The most respectful gray market dealer do have a Veloster but does Hancars have the Blue Ocean-colored Veloster like the one Lee Min Ho drove during the Veloster Relay Mission Show and City Hunter Korean Drama?

The "Touch Panel Audio" feature on the 2012 Suzuki MR Wagon/Nissan Moco

2012 Suzuki MR Wagon


2012 Nissan Moco

When we think about "touch screens", what goes on our mind? We are addicted to everything touchy. We often get hooked with our iPhones and iPod Touches because if it touches, it goes. How does a carmaker like Suzuki created the first "touch panel audio" exclusively on the new 2012 MR Wagon? It's simple, they want to create a feature so addicting that music lovers would love to "touch" it whatever they want. Despite the ugly exterior, both the new 2012 MR Wagon and its Nissan version, the 2012 Moco, provided one addicting feature that targets the music lovers. It's like the iPad minus the apps.

2012 Suzuki MR Wagon's Touch Panel Audio

Check out the video showing how does this "Touch Panel Audio" (タッチパネルオーディオ) work:



Wasn't that addicting to use the new "Touch Panel Audio" feature mounted on the 2012 Suzuki MR Wagon and 2012 Nissan Moco? Plug your iPod using the USB and this would be one heck of an enjoyment. Maybe this "MR" naming in the MR Wagon should have been called "Music Room" because of the addictive "Touch Panel Audio" feature.

Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe (C204)

2012 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe


2012 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe interior
Following with the minor change of the W204 C-Class, it seems that the C-Class based CLC-Class sports coupe is about to be replaced by the Benz's latest debutante, in celebration of the automaker's 125th anniversary. This is known to be the C-Class Coupe and it is essentially based on the W204 C-Class.

The Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe is the sportiest member of the C-Class range, which consists of the sedan and estate and this would be the best addition yet because it targets the Cadillac CTS Coupe, BMW 3-Series Coupe, and the Audi A5. One thing's for sure, the new C-Class Coupe is not merely a good alternative to those two but it can be a good addition to your garage full of Benz models.

On the C-Class Coupe, there is a new generation of telematics attached as seen on the W204 C-Class Sedan and Estate minor change. This new telematics gain internet access everywhere this car goes. It works only if the car is stationary such as stop at the red light or parking. Also, the navigation system provides a 3D view of cities and it makes it more innovative and fun to use for those that are on the go.

The standard AGILITY CONTROL suspension sharpens the C-Class Coupe's cornering perfection and the three-link front axle, multi-link independent rear suspension does the help to make it more fun and agile to turn.

The C-Class Coupe offers a 4-Cylinder CRDi Diesel engine (available at the C220 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY and C250 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY), a 4-cylinder petrol engine (C180 BlueEFFICIENCY and C250 BlueEFFICIENCY), and a 6-cylinder petrol engine (C350 BlueEFFICIENCY). Most models do come with the idling stop function for enhanced fuel efficiency and some models do outfitted with the 6-speed MT, or the 7G-TRONIC transmission.

C63 AMG Coupe


2012 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe


For those who want to make it most out of their extreme lives, there is also the new C63 AMG Coupe. The Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe is the suitable rival to the BMW M3, Audi RS5, and the Cadillac CTS-V Coupe. If that comes, this would be a grueling death match between those high-performance coupes. Under the hood, the C63 AMG Coupe carries the M156 6.2L V8 natural aspiration engine that produces about 457PS of power, top speed of 250 km/h, and 0-100km in 4.5 seconds. It is mated with the AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-Speed transmission that features a manual mode for smooth shifting at all comers.

My comment:


Mercedes-Benz finally get their portfolio right by replacing the criticized CLC-Class with the new C-Class Coupe to meet the demands against the Cadillac CTS Coupe, BMW 3-Series Coupe, and the Audi A5. If only CATS Motors bring the new C-Class Coupe to the Philippines soon...

Remembering the "Arch Rivals"

2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STi


2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STi

2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X

2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X

Yes, both the Subaru WRX STi and the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution are both arch rivals but I surely miss those rides since I first encounter them in 2007 when both the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X and the third-generation Subaru Impreza WRX STi (GRB) emerged in the Japanese market and later landed in the world market in 2008.

Both of these are fun to drives but with ages pass by, I think I surely forgotten the Arch Rivals, even I still remember one wild card I've encountered last July 2010.

2011 Subaru WRX STi 4-door (GVB)

That was the Subaru WRX STi 4-door (GVB/GVF). It was in Japan since July 2010 and I'm impressed about this one. Turns out, this one's can be easily forgotten because of the incoming fourth-generation Subaru Impreza coming soon.
