YOUR NEXT LEVEL - GM Korea Chevrolet Malibu's TV ads

GM Korea's Chevrolet Malibu doesn't come out at the dealerships until early next month but GM Korea Company launched two new commercials for the Korean-spec Chevrolet Malibu, adapting the slogan "YOUR NEXT LEVEL" because this medium sedan has progressed to its world level.




With European engineering and dynamic Camaro cue design, the 2012 GM Korea Chevrolet Malibu really is an impressive medium sedan that competes against the Hyundai YF Sonata, Kia K5, and the Renault Samsung SM5. Of course, it doesn't arrive in North America until Spring 2012 as a 2013 model year, way after the Super Bowl season, but the all new Chevrolet Malibu is the first to arrive in South Korea this year. This eighth generation model marks its Korean debut courtesy of GM Korea Company as the replacement to the highly criticized Daewoo Tosca.

Because this was made in Bupyeong, South Korea, there is high hopes that this new model will come to the Philippines soon if The Covenant Car Company Inc. has the chance.

Speaking of which, I am familiar with that song played on this Korean Chevrolet Malibu (쉐보레 말리부) TV Commercial. The title is Sunday Morning by MAROON 5. That song was used on the Japanese Toyota Vitz commercial starring Rie Miyazawa.

New i30's Never-Ending Ideas



The new, second-generation (not-for-Philippines), Hyundai i30, really has never-ending ideas. With Hyundai released the latest commercials for the second generation i30, we are getting zealous about its never-ending ideas such as the new Flex Steer, hidden back camera, and EPB (Electronic Parking Brake),

With such never-ending ideas, we have no choice but to plea at HARI to bring the new i30 here but that would be impossible because of its engines.

Forza 4 meets the new BMW M5 F10

Rite of Passage


The arrival of the new BMW M5 F10 exclusively on Forza Motorsport 4 sparked the hype from Forza fans, saying that how in the world can they find this new model and indeed, Turn 10 was so generous that the all new BMW M5 F10 is available at the in-game marketplace with no additional charge, or in short, FREE! It's yours to keep, race, and explore in Autovista mode.

The BMW M5 F10's interior

When I tried the all new BMW F10 M5, it has the same experience I tried on the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG and the Jaguar XFR. It acts like those, feels like those, and the results are very decent for this new model. Those who already downloaded it at the marketplace for free are would wish to get the all new BMW M5 F10 for 90,000 CR. It's powered with the new 4.4L V8 Twin Turbo engine that produces 552HP of power and 501 lb-ft of torque. It weights 4,123LBS and it has a front weight ratio of 52%.

Shooting for the next Top Gear season...

At the hands of the owner, he or she can mix and match the all new BMW M5 F10 just the way they like it with its tuning setups and wide array of decorations to make several versions of the BMW M5 F10. Let's just say, they will create a modernized Ring Taxi version of the M5 or slap some hand-made license plates at the back to make it more classy.

their BMW M5 F10 tuning project!

With driving aids off, the BMW M5 F10 is one heck of a scary ride because of its FR layout and if you're not careful, you blew your opportunity to drive it. What I like about this car is its aerodynamics, design, interior view, and the new engine which performs better than the V10 engine from the previous M5. What I don't like about this car is its weight. Driving the new M5 is a challenge but if you invest more in practice, you'll get used to this new and improved model. You no longer feel like a dull businessman anymore.

My favorite Chevys - 100 years from now (Part One)

So, Chevrolet's 100th birthday is almost near. Time for me to be more "sentimental" as I'll be bringing a special blog to come up my "Chevrolet Memories". I'll be listing the best 100 Chevrolet cars from the past, present, future, local, foreign, normal, racing, concept, doesn't matter. Let's begin!

1) Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 (C6) - Why I love about this Corvette is its supercharged V8 engine that has more power than the Audi R8 V10, according to a Top Gear episode. The ZR1 is probably the best Corvette ever made because of its performance and with for the 2012 Model Year, it ousted the 2011MY Nissan GT-R at the Nurburgring.

2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1

2) Fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro - Returned in 2009 as a 2010 model year and it was popularized after being featured in three Transformers movies as Autobot Bumblebee, this Camaro is gaining huge popularity and this model is turning into a geek car because this is Bumblebee after all.

2010 Chevrolet Camaro

3) Chevrolet Stingray Concept - This concept car hints the next Corvette. Pretty cool about the Stingray name though.

4) Chevrolet Chevelle '69 - Undeniably the most memorable Chevrolet muscle car. We even saw those rides from several Dirty Harry movies such as The Enforcer and Magnum Force.

1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS

5) Second-generation Chevrolet Camaro - built from 1970 to 1981, the second-generation Camaro is far out memorable in the age of baggy pants, Woodstock, disco, and everything groovy, in short, the 70's. It featured incidentally on the first Transformers movie as Bumblebee right until it became a 2007 Camaro Concept after Sam scolded this as a piece of junk. Either way, this Camaro from the 70's was an instant classic.

1970 Chevrolet Camaro

6) Chevrolet Miray Concept - This cool concept car was designed from our friends at South Korea, which in fact, the latest country to sell Chevrolet cars after bidding farewell to the poorly recognized Daewoo brand. Miray is coined from the Korean word "Mi Rae", which means "future", making this concept roadster a new beginning for another 100 years.

7) Chevrolet Corvette C1 - The first-generation Corvette is the most memorable Chevrolet in the eyes of enthusiasts when it was built in 1953.  This classic is considered a collector's item and this rare purity really makes it up to those who owned it. Imagine that this is your parents' ride back in their young adult years.

1953 Chevrolet Corvette C1

8) Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 (2012) - It doesn't come before the early 2012 but the new Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 is the Corvette ZR1's little brother. The ZL1 naming was derived from the 1969 original, which in fact, the most powerful Camaro ever built. It targets the Ford Mustang Boss 302 as its formidable rival.

2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1

9) 1969 Chevrolet Camaro - This old Camaro is "The Best Chevy Of All Time" thanks to some popularity poll held by Chevrolet. It was said that the 1969 Camaro is one of the best examples of timeless design in the industry.

1969 Chevrolet Camaro

10) Fourth-generation Chevrolet Camaro - Apparently this was also a memorable Chevrolet when it was made in 1993 until the Camaro nameplate got chopped in 2002, seven years before the Camaro returned in 2009 as a 2010 model year. A special 35th Anniversary Edition, launched in the 2002 model year, is highly memorable on this generation not only because of its special red color with white stripes but also its legendary Camaro heritage.
