Kia K5 (Optima) Turbo GDi Advert

The Kia K5 (Optima) Turbo GDi variant was released a few days earlier, about July 11, 2011 I think. There was a commercial for that...


It was pretty damn good! This ad shows the 2000cc is greater than 3000cc! Why? Despite its 2000cc engine, the K5 T-GDI can accumulate the power of a high-end 3000cc engine because of its 271PS of power.

The new Theta II 2.0L Turbo GDi (Gasoline Direct Injection) can accumulate 271PS/6000rpm of power output, 37.2 kg-m/4250rpm of torque output, and 12.8km/L of fuel economy. A six-speed automatic transmission is mated on the K5 T-GDi variant. Geez, we're getting jealous to see a turbocharged version of the hugely successful Kia K5 (known worldwide as the Kia Optima).

Available colors for the K5 include Snow White Pearl, Bright Silver, Satin Metal, Light Graphite, Platinum Graphite, Santorini Blue, and Ebony Black.

It costs 29,450,000 Korean Won (guessing price is somewhat 1,750,000 Philippine Pesos).

Experience Korea's fastest executive medium sedan with its breakthrough 2.0L Turbo GDi engine that provides the power of a 3.0L engine with the fuel economy of a 2.0L engine!

A hybrid SUV version of the Peugeot 508?

2013 Peugeot 508 RXH


Indeed it is. The 2013 Peugeot 508 RXH is the hybrid crossover version of the Peugeot 508 using the 508 SW as its base. It competes against the likes of the Audi A4 Allroad and Subaru Legacy Outback when it hits Europe at the first half of this year.

Details remain slim for now but the 508 RXH is the second Peugeot to be equipped with Hybrid4 technology, the new diesel-electric hybrid feature that was first equipped on the 3008 Hybrid4, providing low emissions and cleaner driving while tackling mud, sand, gravel, and snow.

Expect full details at Frankfurt!

FYI: S. Vettel's the fastest at The Top Gear Test Track!?

Gran Turismo Red Bull X2010 S. Vettel


Here's a little tidbit, Sebastian Vettel, last year's Formula One world champ, attempted to race against the clock at The Top Gear Test Track. While Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson interviewed S. Vettel, all the puns got us laughed about S. Vettel's experiences and after one heck of a hilarious interview, we witnessed S. Vettel driving against the clock on Top Gear's "Star in a Reasonably Priced Car" segment.

In the end, S. Vettel scored the lap time of 1.44.0! He beaten the record held by Rubens Barrichello, who was claimed to be faster than The Stig. What can I say? He really is "S. Vettel" after all after having ourselves spending the rest of our lifetime playing GT5 and racing with the X2010 S. Vettel. Heh, KUHA MO?!

Hidan No Aria Kyoyogakubu Ongaku Kyozai Original Soundtrack

Hidan No Aria Kyoyogakubu Ongaku Kyozai Original Soundtrack

It's Toradora meets Gunslinger Girl. Aria the Scarlet Ammo (日本名:緋弾のアリア) revolves on the cases of armed detectives in training known as "butei" and highlights on a low ranking Kinji Toyama who is secretly a high-ranking butei due to his Hysteria Savant Syndrome and the high-ranking butei named Kanzaki H. Aria. Their mission of destiny goes a long way and geez, this anime is somewhat hard boiled because this is somewhat a combination between Toradora and Gunslinger Girl because the main cast, Kinji and Aria, were played by the two who were at Toradora, Junji Majima and Rie Kugimiya.

The crazed fanservice, the explosive weaponry held by the butei, and the cunning suspense that leaves viewers away from the days of Guns and Roses and who knows, most viewers became absurd from Kugimiya's acting as Kanzaki H. Aria, the high ranking sharp shooter whom we know her as a tsundere.

Take your friends and arm yourselves with knowledge because the original soundtrack of Aria the Scarlet Ammo is arrived. Takumi Ozawa, responsible for the original music score from the Ookami Kakushi anime series, was behind the music score from the Scarlet Ammo anime and this Cd packs with 39 tracks that will bring Aria fans relieving the high-octane sharp shooting action as seen from the Scarlet Ammo anime, which was based on a light novel serialized from Media Factory Bunko J. There's also TV size versions of the theme songs such as Scarlet Ballet by May'n and Camellia no Hitomi by Aiko Nakano.

Which hurts more? Libreng Injection or BASUKA?

Mang Ben's afraid of needles


Mang Ben visits the hospital for some free injection on another Mang Ben for the July 11, 2011 episode of Banana Split Daily Servings! Bad thing he didn't know what injection is because he's focusing on some pretty nurse but until when he saw the nurse injecting the patient, that's what Mang Ben panics because he's scared of needles. One way to do is to hide his arms on his shirt and when he's next this looks abrasive. The doctor has arrived and injected Mang Ben's butt!

Letterman turns KARITON into KARATE

Alpha Bert turns BASURA into BASUKA!

Another thing more painful than "Libreng Injection" is some karate and bazooka on another Alpha Bert vs. Letterman. Letterman meddles with some junk collector and Alpha Bert approaches. Letterman made his first move by using the junk collector's KARITON and turn it into KARATE. Despite Letterman's KARATE, Alpha Bert wins by using the junk collector's BASURA and turn it into BASUKA! With Alpha Bert's Bazooka, Letterman got blown away!

Hyundai YF Sonata and Kia K5 received the much awaited 2.0L Theta II L4 Turbo

2012 Hyundai Sonata F20 Turbo GDI


2012 Kia K5 T-GDI

The wait is over. Both the Hyundai YF Sonata (known in Australia as the i45) and the Kia K5 (known worldwide as the Optima) received the much awaited 2.0L Theta II 4-cylinder Turbo Gasoline Direct Injection (T-GDI) engine and yes, the new engine provide the power of a 3000cc engine with the 2000cc fuel economy. Need to repeat again? 2000cc fuel economy with 3000cc power.

Scoop:



Power output for the Theta II 2.0L Turbo GDI engine is 271PS while torque output is 37.2kg-m.

That's all I can say. Those two mind-numbing Korean executive medium sedans finally received what they've been waiting for; a turbocharged gasoline direct injection engine. This would be more exciting for the hardcore Korean car enthusiasts looking for some thrills after dark.

Heh, don't expect both the Sonata Turbo GDi and the Kia K5/Optima Turbo GDi come to the Philippines, yet...

And we're still waiting if HARI and CAC decided to bring the hybrid versions of the Sonata and K5/Optima.

What do you think?
