2012 Hyundai i30

What does Hyundai had something that the Germans didn't have? Just ask the CEO of Volkswagen, Martin Winterkorn, as he went inside the all new Hyundai i30 and he was impressed about what Hyundai have that the Germans never had.

Looks like the Germans are getting upset about Hyundai's NEW THINKING, NEW POSSIBILITIES,,,

Aluminum Mustang!

"The first all-aluminum body Mustang in the world and it was made by a Filipino craftsman"

Top Gear Philippines visited media personality and classic-car collection, Cito Beltran, who fashioned an iconic old-fashioned Mustang with, and if you're sitting down, aluminum body. He claims that this is the world's first all-aluminum Mustang in the world and wow, that made me smiled to see a resurrected muscle car made of something precious.

BEER BELLIES!

We interrupt your laughter for some breaking news courtesy of BANANA SPLIT'S ANG TV PATROL NEWS AND OTHER AFFAIRS!

PNP is taking action against cops who have "beer bellies" because a cop's belly shouldn't reach the 34-inch limit or else, these fats will be taken of by some "itak" or "jungle bolo"!

The chief of Police

That sounds painful but this is for a good cause...

On SA AKIN ANG HULING HALAKHAK...Aling Maring broke another one, which is another vase in a form of a dog. What would Aling Maring do? Tune in on Monday to find out!

And time for Windy Valdez's weather report: PAGASA said it will rain. Her mom said it will not. If she believed in PAGASA, her mother will get angry. If she believed in her mother, PAGASA will be angry. But that's okay, because her mom works at PAGASA! Get it?

This is how you say Mitsubishi RVR in French

2013 Peugeot 4008

2013 Citroen C4 AIRCROSS

They maybe using the Mitsubishi RVR (known in others as the ASX and Outlander Sport) as its foundation but Peugeot's latest debutante, the 4008, and Citroen's latest addition to the C4 range, the C4 AIRCROSS, are those kind of crossovers you do want to watch out for next year.

More details coming soon!

Lokomoko Gone Fishing

So, the Lokomoko guys gone fishing on the September 30, 2011 episode. Because they're gone fishing, there will be fishing gags. And when there's fishing gags, TALENTADONG FAMILY gone camping for some jokes like these:

1) Bonfire - Iha, nabalitaan ko sa twitter na dito sa gubat na to, meron daw Dracula! Iha, wag nating lalapitan yun, BONFIRE yun eh!

2) Gadgets - Bagets?

3) Vacation - Playstation?

4) Fishing - Masyadong maikli ang tali mo. Kumuha ka ng FISHING mahaba!

5) Kamote - Tingan mo ang pantal mo, ayan hindi na yan mawawala, kamot ka ng KAMOTE!

6) Snakes - Who's SNAKES in line?

7) Camping - Paano ka ca-camping, wala kang pinggan!

...after this whole camping, let's go to Inday Garutay's sari sari store for something Inday Garutay called it "MISCOMMUNICATION". For instance;

2) "Yung kasambahay ni Dianne, lagi siyang sinasabon ni Dianne"

3) "Tinubuan ng sungay"

4) "Make-up test"

5) "Nagsusunog ng kilay"

6) "Nag-iisang dibdib"

7) "Binabakuran"

8) "Anak ng tupa"

...and that's it for Inday Garutay's Miscommunication. Hope we like "cold cats" as our pulutan. Ha ha ha!

7) Bakit kahit matanda na ako binebeybi nyo pa rin ako? - Aling Baby

ARK Performance Veloster for SEMA 2011!

2011 ARK Performance Veloster

The 2012 Hyundai Veloster is definitely an eccentric hatchback because it has one door at the driver's side and two doors at the passenger's side.  It was even featured on the Korean drama, City Hunter, as Lee Min Ho's car of choice.

If that wasn't good enough to your tastes, tuning team ARK Performance decided to kick it up a little to the Hyundai Veloster for this year's SEMA Show this November 1 to 4 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

While specs became scarce before the show, the ARK Performance Veloster is tuned to have a turbocharger on its GDi engine.

We interrupt your moment for some breaking news courtesy of BANANA SPLIT'S ANG TV PATROL NEWS AND OTHER AFFAIRS!

Congressman Roman Romulo lets Shalani to go for showbiz!

The congressman

Uh-huh, he accepts whatever Shalani wants. Whatever Shalani wants, Shalani gets.

And whatever we want aerobics, Jane Panda (Melai Cantiveros) is here again for some new workout routine. 

Jane Panda

Oh wait, Jane Panda has fatigue...

On SA AKIN ANG HULING HALAKHAK, the million peso vase was broken because Aling Maring, Dolores' mom, knocked it by accident. David got mad and the only way to pay off to the damages is her daughter, Dolores. Will this deal work? Find out soon!

On Windy Valdez's weather report, there will be two typhoons coming. If one hasn't rain, the other one will rain.

2012 Honda City Minor Change

2012 Honda City

What an unsuspecting move...

Here in Thailand, the 2012 Honda City (known in some as the Ballade) minor change has arrived and for this minor change, the City gained a new grille, new X-shaped bumpers, new rims, new rear lamps, ECO indicator, blue-colored instrumental panels, and that's about it.

I hope that Honda Cars Philippines got the memo about the Honda City minor change and bring it here soon.

Driving Music (What is the name of the song on car commercial?) Vol. 13

So, our blog's too "insecure" against incoming attacks coming from people who kept on asking what was that song played on a certain car commercial, eh? Earlier, we got attacked by a hacker who want to find out the song on the BMW 1-Series F20 ad or perhaps an unknown enemy who's asking what was the song in the Kia Sportage commercial. These guys never learn, eh? You better not Google search what you heard on that ad, understood?

Okay, for emergency reasons, another set of Driving Musics (Car Commercial Songs) are on the way:

5. Welcome To The Black Parade by My Chemical Romance - as heard on the latest Subaru Forester "Sunset Drive" Japanese TV ad!

4. Open Up Your Door by Hawley Richard - as heard from the Renault Megane GT Line French TV ad.

3. Sparkle by Ayumi Hamasaki - as heard on the Honda Zest Spark TV ad from Japan since December 2008.

2. Love Will Keep Us Together by Captain and Tenille - as heard from the Philippine Toyota Innova TV ad. I LOVE MY INNOVA!

1. Party Rock by LMFAO - as heard in the latest Kia Soul TV ad (as you know it, the Hamstars are dancing!)

...That's it for now!

RIMS THAT SHINE BRIGHT IN THE DARK!

You've never seen a BMW 7-Series wearing that kind of rims. Of course, this is one heck of an insane idea. You would see its rims all rigged with some LED lighting. This weird kind of lighting brings the new meaning to the word "BLING BLING" and it goes "IN THE DARK LIKE A BOSS", you know what I'm saying?

Whoever did it must have meant it.

Pedal-powered 5G Grandeur in China!?

In country like China, where the Hyundai 5G Grandeur sold as the Azera, those guys created a pedal-powered version of the Hyundai 5G Grandeur that made everyone fooled that this was a 5G Grandeur.

It was some kind of a Korean luxury car minus the luxury features because this is a pedal-powered version but whoever done it must have meant it.
