GLK
I maybe a huge fan of Mercedes-Benz vehicles because of its "Elegance" concept that was applied in most models, but when I had an encounter with the crossover Benz known as the GLK-Class, heh, I wouldn't mind asking what will I say next...
That model shown was the GLK350 4MATIC and it was belong to my aunt Joji and uncle Ken. Perhaps about one-third of this car had options.
Didn't realize it was a 5-seater crossover but the interior of the GLK looks nice. The sunroof seems to be good but is it worth to be panoramic? There's even a tonneau board that once you cover it, it feels like a sedan, stow the tonneau board, and you got yourself a wagon-like interior. No wonder this was made to be the crossover of Mercedes-Benz.
So much to say that even when it picks fight against the BMW X1 and the upcoming Audi Q3, the Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class is one heck of a crossover most of us would love to indulge with. See ya!
Driving Music (What is the name of the song on car commercial?) Vol. 6
My blog was been rattled by some kind of earthquake with a magnitude of 3.7 on my exaggeration scale. Sorry for my nonsense but some intruder attacked my website once again! Gosh won't you please stop it? I'm sure that North Americans are highly notorious on finding songs heard on car commercials? Go ahead, Google Insights have proof and I don't think the attack between the music industry and the automotive community would never end. They would just continue it because finding music heard on car commercials is part of the automotive community. If that won't stop, the artists behind the songs will sue them for using their songs on certain car commercials that lead them to find that song illegally).
Better yet, another set of top 5 Driving Musics (songs from car commercials) is up to find it and either play it on your car audio or use it as a GT5 Personal BGM.
5) The song titled If Ever There's A Reason by Derby, where did you heard that song? Well, only from the 2011 Ford Explorer TV commercial of course. Need to say it? Hurry up and buy that song on iTunes!
4) The Renault Samsung SM3 debuted in September 2002. You watched that commercial before and you start asking this question; What is the name of the song on car commercial?
The song was Too Much Love Will Kill You and I'm talking about Queen who sang that song.
3) The BGM used on the Korean movie, Thirst, was used on a commercial for Kia's The Prestige K7. Titled Bach On Radio, this BGM was scored by Hong Yoo-Jin. Find it on Amazon.com!
2) The Nissan Juke debuted since June 2010. You watched the commercial, wanna know what was that song on the Nissan Juke commercial? This was titled Sunshine Of Your Love Juke Mix by Orianthi. Exclusively on Japanese versions of Orianthi's album titled Believe II.
1) The Hyundai Tucson iX debuted since August 2009. You saw the commercial and you asked "What is the name of the song on car commercial?" The answer is If You Seek Amy by Britney Spears.
Now that's a prize! Only a true car enthusiast can collect as much car commercial songs on his MP3 as possible!
E-Class (W212) vs. 5-Series (F10) vs. A6 (C7 Typ 4G)
 |
| 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class |
 |
| 2011 BMW 5-Series |
 |
| 2012 Audi A6 |
This was one heck of a "March Madness" for sure. The Mercedes-Benz E-Class W212 arrived since March 2009, the BMW 5-Series F10 arrived since March 2010, and the all new Audi A6 (C7 Typ 4G) arrived since March 2011. This was one heck of chronology that those three executive premium mid-size sedans were launched consecutively. CATS Motors already has the W212, Asian Carmakers Corporation already has the F10, and we're still waiting for PGA Cars to bring the all new Audi A6 soon. Either way, those three exceed expectations among German luxury car connoisseurs and their exceptional technology became a leading edge to surpass its predecessors.
In terms of design: I will give the Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W212) 1st place while 2nd place goes for the BMW F10 and 3rd place goes to the all new Audi A6. What can I say?
In terms of performance: BMW 5-Series F10 is my pick while 2nd place goes for the MB E-Class W212 and 3rd goes for the all new Audi A6 (C7 Typ 4G). Why? Let's observe the top of the line models. The BMW 550i can achieve 5 seconds in a 0-100km/h run while the MB E500 reaches 0-100km/h in 5.4 seconds and the Audi A6 3.0 TFSI can accumulate 5.5 seconds in the 0-100km/h run.
In terms of pricing: The all new Audi A6 takes the lead while 2nd place goes for the MB E-Class (W212) and 3rd place goes to the BMW 5-Series (F10). Why? Let's take introductory pricing. The Audi A6 2.0 TDI costs 38,500 Euros while the Mercedes-Benz E 200 CDI BlueEfficiency costs 39,835 Euros and the BMW 520d costs 40,350.
It's up to you to decide....

Flashback: Kenwood meets McLaren F1
Most car enthusiasts are already familiar about the McLaren F1. Before the Bugatti Veyron emerged, this was known to be the world's fastest production car back in the 90's. Here's a little trivia: what audio system is recommended by McLaren? Chances are getting low because the answer is Kenwood. That's right. McLaren F1 recommends Kenwood for their audio system. According to the designer of McLaren F1, Gordon Murray, they wanted a top-notch audio system suitable for the fastest car in the world. See what I mean? We love the Kenwood car audio systems because the McLaren F1 has one. The best machines often need the best car audio systems.
In case you missed it: Cheese-kun had a Twitter account...
Remember Cheese-kun? Yes, he's the official mascot of Pizza Hut Japan and by interest, appeared on Code Geass as CC's plush doll that resulted in collaboration between Japanese anime series and Pizza Hut Japan.
In case you missed it, Cheese-kun has a twitter account. Never heard of it? Most Japanese already heard of it because they already followed Cheese-kun's tweets online and mobile.
Cheese-kun's Twitter account (official) is:
Tweets are in Japanese but for the fun of it, follow Cheese-kun on Twitter! It's "just for fun" for anime otakus who are already hooked on Pizza Hut because of the Cheese-kun.
Trust me, I already followed Cheese-kun's tweets for fun. wktk

Two cars that are too little too late but worth trying it
The Audi RS3 Sportback
The BMW 1-Series M Coupe
Two of these high-performance compacts arrived a little too late of their lifespans but worth getting used to. When I compare both of these high-performance compacts, what can I expect? Both the Audi RS3 Sportback and BMW 1-Series M Coupe are highly offensive and both of the turbocharged engines are set to the offensive because they are trying to defend something.
However, I'm not going to see who's got the offense. Let's hand the comparison over to our friends from Auto Express shall we?

Nissan Z34 Fairlady Z/370Z - Forza 3 Owner's View
 |
| Nissan Z34 at the Touge |
 |
| Nissan Z34 at the U.K. |
FINAL IMPRESSIONS: The Nissan Z34 Fairlady Z or 370Z in global markets was launched since December 2008 and it caused a major phenomenon that this premier Japanese sports car still carries the tradition of being a Z-car. Above all, some Filipinos in the U.S. who are playing Forza Motorsport 3 do prefer using the Z34 because it was designed by some Filipino named Randy Rodriguez, if you know what I mean. And a little FYI though, the Philippine-made ROTA Wheels made an appearance as well. If I can make a suggestion, my favorite ROTA Wheel would be the Tarmac 3 and if I do fit it on the Z34, well what can you say? Stand up be proud!
Anyway, about the Z34, it looks somewhat drastic to master but once I get the hang of it, this is somewhat a wrecking force to be reckoned with, not as a track-burning vehicle but it can also be a good drifter, or good at evading rivals in a game of Tag Virus Infection. Even when the Nissan Fairlady Z (Z34) created from the masters of Nissan Premium Factory, it was a festive treat for JDM lovers everywhere. Happy to say that this is probably one of the best JDM cars appeared on Forza 3 aside from the Lexus IS F and Nissan GT-R R35.
