Infiniti plans global HQ in Hong Kong
 |
| 2012 Infiniti M Hybrid |
It seems that Nissan's luxury marque, Infiniti, wants to expand even further because the lxuruy marque will have its global headquarters in Hong Kong. Wait, what? You know a country like Hong Kong never sells Infiniti cars but why? The reason why they want to move their global headquarters in Hong Kong because this brand has strong presence in China and it wants to accumulate 500,000 sales as part of the Nissan Power 88, a six-year master plan for the Japanese automotive giant.
My favorite Chevys - 100 years from now (Part Ten FINAL)
This is it! Our final ten at the list of my favorite 100 Chevrolet cars in celebration of the brand's 100th year! Yes, seriously, today's the day! The day the Chevrolet brand was born and time to finish this list before I say happy birthday to the brand!
91) 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air - This is one of the most historical Chevrolet vehicles most of your grandparents probably remember it.
 |
| 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air |
92) 1948 Chevrolet Pickup - Amazingly though, this is the most historical midsize pickup made by Chevrolet.
 |
| 1948 Chevrolet Pickup |
93) 1938 Chevrolet Suburban - The Chevrolet Suburban name is considered to be the toughest SUV built by Chevrolet but this Suburban from the 1930's is considered to be the most memorable Suburban ever made.
 |
| 1938 Chevrolet Suburban |
94) Chevrolet Classic Six - this is the car that gave birth to the Chevrolet brand. After 100 years, it's still considered to be a collector's item in the eyes of auctioneers.
 |
| 1912 Chevrolet Classic Six |
95) 1954 Chevrolet Nomad - The first station wagon ever made by Chevrolet.
 |
| 1954 Chevrolet Nomad |
96) Chevrolet S10 - The S10 redefines the midsize pickup genre right before being replaced by the Colorado in mid-2000's.
 |
| 1999 Chevrolet S10 |
97) Chevrolet S10 Blazer - The spin-off to the Chevrolet S10 pickup that is too sporty to be called an SUV but not as good as its successors. That car was superseded by the TrailBlazer.
 |
| 2002 Chevrolet S10 Blazer |
98) Chevrolet SS Concept - despite it never went to the production line, the 2003 Chevrolet SS Concept is their attempt to create a 4-door coupe.

A whole new compact Peugeot only knows
 |
| 2013 Peugeot 208 |
This is a new compact car from Peugeot. It's called the 208. It will replace the aging 207 compact in 2012 Spring in 5-door and 3-door configurations.
The Ferrari that can go anywhere - The Ferrari FF
 |
| An epic 4WD gran tourer |
The FF name in the Ferrari FF refers that the first F is a four-seater and the other F stands for 4WD. This is exactly known as Ferrari's first four-seater 4WD grand tourer. It is equipped with Ferrari-developed 4WD system codenamed 4RM and this bespoke 4WD system is 50% lighter than convenient 4WD drivetrains, giving this FF some classic Ferrari handling while tackling through tarmac, gravel, snow, and other road conditions. It is equipped with the 6.3L V12 gasoline direct injection engine that produces 660PS of power and 683Nm of torque. This helps the car reach 0-100kph in 3.7 seconds and 335kph of top speed. It comes with a 7-speed paddle shift transmission.
 |
| Uh, you know that we're in Sivlerstone but why are you in Dubai license plate? |
With such technology and power, perhaps no wonder this $300,000 toy had all of the customers asked for it. In other terms, Ferrari builds 800 FF models for the year and a full-year supply has already been sold out. Don't worry though that all hope is not lost despite the Ferrari FF is sold out because you can now try the Ferrari FF on Forza Motorsport 4.
 |
| Enjoying the open road with the Ferrari FF |
About the Ferrari FF, I like its handling because of its 4RM all wheel drive system developed specifically for the FF. It handles just like any other Ferrari cars even though that this is a 4WD shooting brake that throws the curve on the Ferrari brand. In straight lines, I think I found its weakness. It would be difficult for the Ferrari FF to overtake against rivals in a straight line like the Circuit de la Sarthe's Mulsanne corner at a full speed. Slipstreaming isn't a very good idea for this car and it will overtake its rivals if they were on the curves.
 |
| Geared up for Top Gear! |
But still, it was great for me to try out the Ferrari FF on Forza Motorsport 4. What I like is its handling but what I don't like about the FF is its slipstreaming ability because in straight lines, you can't catch up with high speed rivals right before you overtake them on the corners. Perhaps handling really was the Ferrari FF's top priority...
Modified Velosters in SEMA Show
 |
| Hyundai Rhys Millen Racing Veloster |
The Hyundai Veloster, first from Hyundai's Premium Youth Lab brand, is engineered for whatever and it was also engineered for the SEMA Show 2011 with a barrage of modified Velosterd engineered exclusively for the show!
Check out the gallery:
Those modified Velosters look nice because of its attractiveness and its "engineered for whatever" tagline.
Another delay for a much awaited Railgun PSP game
"１１月２３日に発売を予定しておりましたＰＳＰソフト『とある科学の超電磁砲』ですが、
更なるクオリティアップのため、発売日を変更させていただくことになりました。
正式な発売日は決定次第、公式ホームページなどでお知らせいたします。"
Notice this? It seems that the To Aru Kagaku no Railgun PSP video game gets delayed again! This is going to made us very upset about that special Kuroko Shirai figma made exclusively for the Limited Edition packaging. Reason for this delay remains unknown for now...
My favorite Chevys - 100 years from now (Part Nine)
Second to the last part of my favorite 100 Chevrolet cars in celebration of the brand's 100th year! Let's move!
81) Chevrolet Volt - This is the best car that allows us to recharge its batteries by plugging in and fill up the tank with petrol. Talk about good combination. Gasoline when you want it, electric when you need it.
 |
| 2011 Chevrolet Volt |
82) Chevrolet Electric S-10 Concept - there are several attempts Chevrolet tries to revive the electric car but efforts are failed a few moments before the arrival of the Volt.
 |
| Chevrolet Electric S10 Concept |
83) Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle - This cop car, based on the Holden Caprice, is how they made cops saying "YOU WILL RESPECT MY AUTORITAH!"
 |
| Chevrolet Caprice PPV |
84) Bumblebee from the Transformers movie - That Bumblebee in the three Transformers movie really made geeks love the Camaro so much.
 |
| Bumblebee |
85) Nihilism's Envoy - This modified Chevrolet C5 Corvette is seen on Shutokou Battle Zero One (Tokyo Xtreme Racer 3) as part of Darts, one of the toughest racing teams in Osaka. Try to overrun these, and it will summon The Lord, a modified Ford GT concept car driven by the Darts boss, God's Estuary.
86) Webster's C6 Corvette - This modified Chevrolet C6 Corvette is seen on Need For Speed Most Wanted and it was driven by the Blacklist 15's Webster. I think this is part of the most memorable moments on this game.
87) Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 RM - A modified Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 is seen on Gran Turismo 5. Players can visit the GT Auto to transform the almighty Corvette ZR1 (C6) into a fantastic race-spec version of this. This was a sensation.
 |
| Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 (C6) RM |
88) Chevrolet Camaro SS RM - The race modified version of the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro is seen on Gran Turismo 5, where players can visit the GT Auto to transform the 2010 Camaro into a racing version. Looks can be deceitful...
 |
| Chevrolet Camaro SS RM |
89) WEST No. 5 - I've seen this modified C4 Corvette at Shutokou Battle Zero One (Tokyo Xtreme Racer 3) and this was modified by Japan's WEST CORVETTE RACING TEAM. You'll find this one roaming around the Nagoya highways.
90) Chevrolet Impala Police (based on the ninth-generation Impala) - It's rare to see this kind of Chevrolet Impala cop car in the States...

Barrage of modified Mazdas at SEMA 2011
 |
| 2011 Mazda2 Turbo Concept |
 |
| 2011 Mazda 2 3D Carbon Concept |
 |
| 2011 Mazda MX-5 Super20 |
 |
| 2011 Mazda MX-5 Spyder Concept |
 |
| Mazda 5 Laguna Seca Raceway Support Vehicle |
A barrage of modified versions of the Mazda Demio (Mazda 2), Mazda Roadster (Mazda MX-5), and the Mazda Premacy (Mazda 5) were showcased at the 2011 SEMA Show and we're impressed about the tuners behind these masterpieces showcased at the biggest convention of modified cars at Las Vegas!
Press Release:
Low-Emissions, Lightweight MX-5 Spyder and MAZDASPEED-Infused Turbo2
Headline Mazda’s Lineup at Annual Automotive Aftermarket Trade Show -
LAS VEGAS (November 1, 2011) – Mazda North American Operations (MNAO) is known for its Zoom-Zoom dynamism, which is evident in the brand’s lineup of distinct design and divine drivability, and brings to this year’s Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show a fleet of vehicles highlighting Mazda’s motorsports heritage, efficiency aspirations and daily-driver potential.
“There is no limit to one’s imagination and when applying that to the already dynamic design and punchy performance of Mazda vehicles, the end result is nothing short of a well-crafted vision,” said Derek Jenkins, director, MNAO Design. “And because the stock models are extraordinarily versatile, who’s to say some elements of these SEMA concepts can’t be ready for public consumption?”
MX-5 Spyder
Beloved worldwide as the best-selling two-seat roadster in the world, with a secure spot in Guinness World Records to boot, the MX-5 Miata is the vehicle motorsports enthusiasts love to drive on the weekday streets of suburbia and the weekend roads of race tracks nationwide.
Well-known is the MX-5’s single-hand-operation soft-top and segment-best 12-second Power Retractable Hard Top (PRHT) that the MX-5 Spyder is a re-imagination of the roadster and features a sweeping, single-panel grenadine-red soft-top made by Haartz Corporation. Its design, a collaborative effort between MNAO Design and Magna Car Top Systems, offers an even lower slung stance of the MX-5 without sacrificing headroom. Fitted onto the roadster’s already sleek and sexy “look at me” body style, the MX-5 Spyder has been painted Stratosphere White and features a Yokohama rubber-and-rims set of AO48 225/45R17 performance tires matched with 17-inch, 10-spoke ADVAN RS wheels in Gun Metal Metallic. But as the adage goes, there is more than meets the eye.
Under the hood is where the vehicle’s exterior treat matches wits with an interior trick. Powered by Mazda’s ever-dependable MZR 2.0-liter engine, the MX-5 Spyder is fueled by BP’s isobutanol. The significance? The biofuel supports Mazda’s mantra of “Sustainable Zoom-Zoom,” which means crafting exciting, fun-to-drive vehicles that create minimal environmental impact. A testament to this philosophy is the Mazda/Dyson Racing entry in the American Le Mans Series. The #16 LMP1Lola vehicle features a turbocharged MZR-R 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, runs on isobutanol and beat competing larger-block V-12s to win the manufacturer, team and drivers championships for the 2011 racing season. Mazda also was given the Michelin® Green X® Challenge at the Baltimore Grand Prix, a distinction awarded to category cars that prove to be the “cleanest, fastest, most efficient” in the race.
Although similar to how ethanol is produced from agricultural feedstock, isobutanol does not compromise vehicle performance for the sake of fuel economy and can be added to the current fuel distribution infrastructure without requiring modifications in blending facilities, storage tanks and retail station pumps. Isobutanol’s compatibility with existing technology and infrastructures is a significant step toward meeting the demand in renewable fuels for transportation.
Another fuel-saving, engine-efficient feature of the MX-5 Spyder is a lightweight lithium-ion racing battery made by Braille Battery. The lead-free advanced battery system is RoHS compliant and constructed of non-hazardous materials, has a high charge retention and offers a longer life cycle than comparable standard batteries. A Racing Beat header, intake and exhaust muffler as well as a MAZDASPEED coil over kit and Brembo brakes complete the vehicle’s mechanics.
The cabin area is accentuated by tanned Saddle black-leather seats with Aqua leather accents and Coal Ash suede inserts. Subtle Spider Silk Gray Metallic-colored trim pieces on the doors and dash panels tastefully adorn the mostly black interior, which is finished off with customized floor mats by Star West. A MAZDASPEED short-throw shifter adds a tasty reminder to the MX-5’s motorsports pedigree.
Turbo2
When introduced to the North American market in 2010, the Mazda2 was referred to as Zoom-Zoom Concentrated. The Turbo2 can almost be defined as Zoom-Zoom Concentrated, Extra Strength. Outfitted with a MAZDASPEED3 MZR 2.3-liter Direct Injection Spark Ignition (DISI) turbo engine, the Turbo2 is as potent as it is practical.
Start the engine and the subcompact cat doesn’t purr – it growls. Its sinister snarl pulsates through the cockpit and injects itself into your rev-happy feet. A five-passenger subcompact with flexible storage and seating capacity, the Turbo2 leaves a small footprint but lives big.
Always known as the spunky little sport of the Mazda lineup, the Turbo2 adds to the Mazda2’s toss-me-around-and-you’ll-still-be-grinning attitude with an HR coil over suspension kit, Corksport sway bars and customized Brembo front brakes with 13-inch ventilated and slotted rotors. The rear brakes remain Mazda stock parts. Yokohama ADVAN Neova 215/40R17 performance tires are mounted onto shiny black 17-inch OZ Racing wheels.
The vibrant Sonic White tri-coat exterior features Brilliant Black on the lower panels, wheel arches, side skirts and lower front fascia. Unique bright green and neon yellow graphics and trim pieces further highlight the Turbo2’s compact and svelte physique. The exterior’s sunshine happy theme follows through into an interior commanded by Katzin black leather seats featuring Baracuda Yellow perforated leather inserts and Sunrise Yellow seat piping. Customized floor mats are by Star West and the dash is outfitted with an AiM Pista MXL digital racing performance and data acquisition display.
MX-5 Super20
Introduced during last year’s SEMA Show, the MX-5 Super20 is back and with a new ‘do, so to speak. Now blazing in a Hyper Orange Mica exterior treatment, the MX-5 Super20 retains its darker, edgier Mr. Hyde attitude in comparison to its more sociable Dr. Jekyll MX-5 Miata persona.
With its soft-top replaced with a stationary glossy black hardtop, and matching orange stripes, the MX-5 Super20’s interior also was modified and fitted with a color-matched roll bar, lending to a Grand Touring-inspired feel and function. The black leather seats feature suede seat inserts and channel stitching, which provide improved grip for drivers. Orange contrast stitching adds the finishing touch to the sporty seat profile.
Additional modifications include a DPTune reflashed ECU, Racing Beat 304-stainless steel header and exhaust, Racing Beat hollow front and rear anti-roll bars, ACT organic street clutch, MAZDASPEED coil overs and a shock tower brace, Power Slot slotted brake rotors, StopTech stainless steel brake lines and street performance brake pads, SpeedSource front brake ducts, black 16-inch Enkei RPF1 twin-spoke racing wheels, Toyo Proxes RA-1 245/45ZR16 high-performance tires and 20mm H&R Track+ bolt-on wheel spacers in the rear with 15mm Sparco wheel spacers in the front.
3dCarbon Mazda2
Sharing only the colorful spirit of green with its Turbo2 SEMA Show sibling, the 3dCarbon Mazda2 has an identity all its own. Its 3dCarbon/Air Design body kit is manufactured in high-pressure polyurethane injection molding and either pre-primer or pre-painted in all-factory colors. The customized body kit includes a front air dam, side skirts, a rear lower diffuser and Mazda2 Touring-spec upper rear spoiler.
The Spirited Green Metallic paint is further styled with a vinyl graphic design courtesy of Sticky Fingers Design. With darkly tinted windows, the small statured vehicle simply pops. 3M Color Stable Metal-Free Window Film is used on the side and rear windows while the front windshield features 3M Crystalline Nanofilm.
An Eibach® Springs Pro-Kit improves handling as well as visual appeal. Eighteen-inch FIVE:AD S6:F Gunmetal wheels wrapped with Yokohama S.drive 215/35R18 tires add the finishing touch.
Mazda5 Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca (MRLS) Support Vehicle
Infamous as a practically perfect people-hauler and un-famous as a race track icon, the Mazda5 MRLS Support Vehicle proves that mini-minivans can go racing, too. Developed by Mazda Design, this particular Mazda5 features lowering springs with height-adjustable perches – ideal for custom tuning to any performance situation. Menacing flat-black-painted 19-inch Mazda
RX-8 R3-spec forged aluminum wheels add to the street-turned-track look, complete with MRLS logo orange dots. Custom graphics highlighting the world-famous Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca racing circuit emblazon the Mazda5’s landscape as a nod to the orange theme continues – from the MRLS logo on the front doors, icons on the MRLS track map and a striking line along the side skirts – complete the racy package.

GM Korea Chevrolet Malibu
The eighth-generation Chevrolet Malibu doesn't come out in the Unites States before Spring 2012, moments after the Super Bowl season, but here in South Korea, the new Chevrolet Malibu gets it first before most countries because now, this Chevrolet Malibu is now a global executive midsize sedan.
The exterior design was heavily inspired from the Camaro to provide sporty character cues to this executive midsize sedan that gives a commanding presence to the owners. Exterior details include the trademark dual-port grille, HID headlamps, Camaro-inspired rear lamps, 1465mm of height, 4865mm of length, 1855mm of overall width, and 2737mm of wheelbase.
The interior is all marvelous thanks to its new dual cockpit design that provides the new Malibu to its premium level of appreciation. The meters were heavily inspired from the Camaro too and there is a new seven-inch touch-screen navigation system with a hidden six-inch deep storage area behind it to provide USB connectivity and storage for something else. The seats on the new Malibu provides the best-in-class comfort for five people and this is an excellent innovation for GM Korea to create a proper midsize sedan with a proper interior comfort.
Because the Chevrolet Malibu uses the Epsilon platform lifted from the Opel/Vauxhall Insignia, it provides European engineering and improved aerodynamics to give this car a sportscar-like feeling on the Korean roads. For the Korean-spec Malibu, it is available in two engine types such as the 2.0L and 2.4L petrol engines. The 2.0L ECOTEC engine provides 141ps / 6,200rpm of power, 18.8kg-m / 4,600 rpm of torque, and 12.4km/L of fuel economy. The 2.4L ECTOEC engine provides 170ps / 5,800rpm of power, 23.0kg-m / 4,600rpm of torque, and 11.8km/L of fuel economy. Both of these engines are mated with a 6-speed automatic transmission with Manual Mode.
The new Malibu provides the best safety features such as Lane Departure Warning System, Tire Pressure Monitoring System, Cruise Control, Electronic Stability Control, Brake Assist System, Hill Start Assist, six airbags, reinforced body, and active headrests. The Chevy Care 357 has your back.
Available in nine exterior colors such as Moulin Rouge Red, Poseidon Blue, Pure White, Carbon Flash Black, White Pearl, Smokey Gray, Switchblade Silver, Daydream Beige, and Placid Gray.
My comment:
What I like about the Korean-spec Malibu is its Camaro cue design, European engineering, impressive interior, and value for money for the fastest selling brand in Korea. What I don't like about the Korean-spec Malibu is that there is no hybrid or turbo GDI versions which the Hyundai Sonata/i45 and the Kia K5/Optima had. Anyway, this could be a good fighter to the Renault-Samsung SM5 though. Because this was made in Bupyeong, South Korea, I think there's a chance we can see the new Malibu arriving in the Philippines soon but in my opinion, TCCCI hasn't planned to bring the Malibu here but gray market importers such as Pitstop Motors or Hancars are planning to get it first. See if we care...

The Traverse has arrived
 |
| 2009 Chevrolet Traverse |
The arrival of the Chevrolet Traverse in the Philippines really throw the curve for TCCCI and this is the first full-size crossover from Chevrolet since it was released in North America at late 2008. Surprisingly though, it's too late to bring it after 2 years since its North American debut but see if we care...
This car is powered by a 3.6L V6 engine that produces 288HP of power and 366Nm of torque. With the 6-speed automatic, the Traverse can go as much as 10.2km/L in terms of fuel economy. Prices start at 3,088,888 Philippine Pesos for the FF variant and 3,488,888 Philippine Pesos for the 4WD variant. This car was assembled at Delta Township, Michigan.
My favorite Chevys - 100 years from now (Part Eight)
Time for the continuation of my list of 100 favorite Chevrolet cars in tribute to the brand's 100th anniversary! Numbers 71 to 80 is here, are you?
71) Chevrolet Cruze (J300) - The best Chevrolet compact sedan that competes against the Toyota Corolla, Mitsubishi Lancer, and the Honda Civic. This car has been proven worldwide with the perfect balance of style and performance.
 |
| 2011 Chevrolet Cruze |
72) Chevrolet Cruze 5 - The sexy and smart hatchback of the Chevrolet Cruze is the envy of the hatchback regime.
 |
| 2012 Chevrolet Cruze5 |
73) Third-generation Chevrolet Cavalier - This is the most memorable Chevrolet mid-size sedan and coupe ever made. The pre-facelift third-generation Chevrolet Cavalier is my pick over the facelifted third-generation Cavalier because it looks somewhat nice. Little known fact is that this car was exported to Japan as the Toyota Cavalier. Sounds weird, though...
 |
| 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier |
74) Chevrolet Astra - another Opel car rebadged as a Chevrolet just like the Corsa and the Zafira. This Chevrolet Astra is mainly sold in South American continent and I was amazed that this one exists after all in the past...
 |
| 2005 Chevrolet Astra |
75) Chevrolet Cobalt - The Cavalier successor seems to be rough but I prefer the coupe version because of its sporty character. Thing is, I chose the Chevy Cobalt SS as the starter car in Need For Speed Most Wanted. Anyone remember?
 |
| 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt |
76) Chevrolet Optra - In late 2002, GM Daewoo launched the Lacetti midsize sedan and later on, exported as the Suzuki Forenza, Buick Excelle, and the Chevrolet Optra/Lacetti/Nubira. I think this is the most memorable midsize sedan I have ever remembered in my whole life. I love the interior design though. Never realize that the car's design was penned by Giugiaro and Pininfarina to provide a world-class experience.
 |
| 2005 Chevrolet Optra |
77) Chevrolet Optra5 - When the Daewoo Lacetti received a facelift in 2004, a new addition appeared and it's called the Daewoo Lacetti5, a 5-door hatchback version which later exported worldwide as the Chevrolet Optra5 or the Suzuki Reno. Too bad, the Philippines never had that kind of Optra because some say that the rear view is too rubbish.
 |
| 2007 Chevrolet Optra5 |
78) Chevrolet Cassia - This Chevrolet is mainly "ONLY IN THE PHILIPPINES". Why? Because of the naming. Try Google search for "Chevrolet Cassia" and the results are that this car is truly made for the Philippines even though it was a rebadged version of the Suzuki Esteem.
 |
| 1998 Chevrolet Cassia |
79) Chevrolet Prizm - This car was essentialy a rebadged version of the US-spec Toyota Corolla E110. Sadly though, it's not popular as the original Prizm during the Geo years.
 |
| 1998 Chevrolet Prizm |
80) Chevrolet Prisma - The sedan counterpart of the Chevrolet Celta, sold exclusively to the South American region, really shaped up the city car regime by its looks, performance, and reliability.
