If the compact disc age is gone...

2012 Ford Focus interior

Now what if in the future, in car entertainment systems will not have CD Players and most of them has all-digital in car entertainment systems from USB, Bluetooth, auxiliary inputs for MP3 devices, and taking advantages of cloud computing services. Just ask Ford Europe, they ditched the CD changer options on the Euro-spec Ford Focus Mk. 3 since sales of CD were dropping and digital downloads are very high in demand.

Ford's global trends and futuring manager, Sheryl Connelly, said that in-car entertainment technology is moving digital faster than any kinds of the vehicle experience and the in-car CD player is about to be obsolete like pay telephones.

If her statements were true, imagine if other car companies like Toyota, Nissan, Honda, General Motors, or even Hyundai Motor Group, would follow suit as well. If that happened, I would better go yell to a bunch of Conyo Drivers (nope, not that Wow Mali prank) and Mindless Masters (nope, not that one from Lokomoko when they did Battle of the Brainless). I mean what would exactly happened? This is getting fudge-ing serious. What the fudge? If a country like Japan rely on CD and pretty soon car companies would offer all-digital in car entertainment minus the CD players, what would they get? Fudge-ing disorder. 

Global trends might come with global disorders, if that idea from Ford Europe become a worldwide reality, what would you know? They'll spiraling out of control saying what happened to the beloved CD players? We're getting annoyed. If those anime otakus heard of that, where can they find some anime songs (openings, closings, original soundtracks, character songs, insert songs) if they're not going to place them on the CD players? If you were living in a foreign country and the anime song you're looking for is available only in Japanese iTunes but not in your iTunes, what would you expect? Well, sorry, enough's enough. Ford Europe's idea made them out of fudge-ing order. They're having disorders. They're not acting like a bunch of "Conyo Drivers" and "Mindless Masters" on the road.

I'm getting angry on that article I saw. If that trick from Ford Europe comes true and applied worldwide from other car manufacturers, swear to everyone that I'll blow my whole computer sky high. This gave me high blood. I was going to about to rip the whole book into half and man, I'm getting angry right now. Everybody's getting angry. The whole world's getting angry right now. The whole otaku community's getting angry. Sorry, enough's enough. The trend of an all-digital in car entertainment is not quite a very good idea. If they would never give way to CDs, that's when the strike will happen.

Ford Europe, you've provoked us with that kind of approach. Most music lovers love to buy songs in iTunes but for anime otakus, it's not enough. Limited availability is nothing more like an embargo to them. We really won't let that to happen because if you do, we will really don't know what to do next.

Italian Casual - Fiat 500 1.2 8V Lounge SS

Song played on my Personal BGM: Blue Zone by Shizuka Kudo

From the Album: Blue Zone

The real beauty outshines all compacts

Back in 2007, the 21st Century Fiat 500 (Cinquecento) was released and the design really paid tribute to the Dante Giacosa's 1957 original rear-engined Fiat 500 and also inspired from the 2004 Fiat Trepiuno Concept car from the 74th Geneva Motor Show. It was the world's most trendiest compact cars because of its cute design, performance, value, and fuel economy. The model featured in Gran Turismo 5 is the Fiat 500 1.2 8V Lounge SS and it is known to be the flagship model of the Fiat 500 lineup.

The Fiat 500 outshines the night

This Fiat 500 Lounge is listed as a Premium Tier car and it can be obtainable for 23,300 Credits if your A-Spec or B-Spec Level is 1. It's not quite hard to obtain that kind of Italian casual compact car but let's look at how it goes; it was powered with a 1.2L 8-valve engine that produces 68HP/5500rpm of power and 75.22ft-lb/3000rpm of torque. Overall, the normal 500 1.2 8V Lounge SS weighs in 1010kg. In the hands of the owner, he/she can tune it to the maximum power of 263HP/7300rpm, 197ft-lb/6100rpm of torque, and weighs 858kg (853 with the added Carbon Fiber Hood). With that stats, it provides a go-kart like agility to the Fiat 500.

Slipped past the San Galgano Abbey

Because the exterior colors are offered in Bossa Nova White, Pasodoble Red, and Mod Blue, you can always change the color of your own choice by stopping by the GT Auto. Change the color of the Fiat 500 1.2 8V anytime you want and feel free to slap in some new wheels and aero kits to bring out its sporty look.

Fiat 500 precision driving at Tsukuba

It will take moments to master the Nuova 500's potential but with a little practice, it will be your responsible partner on the racetracks. Above all else, it was a fun-to-drive compact car. Maybe drifting with the 500 is not a good idea because it might end up falling down the 500 or also ended up going in two wheels like I did. Well, it depends on the suspension settings but plan your suspension settings carefully!

Fiat 500 precision driving at Fuji Speedway

Be sure to find the right settings for your 500! Timing is necessary to ease out the disadvantages and a little practice with the 500 goes a long long way. After all, the new Fiat 500 featured in GT5 really taste like the real-life new Fiat 500.
