When Doraemon characters are all grown up in latest Toyota REBORN ad.

Back when we were kids, we had fun watching an anime titled Doraemon and we enjoyed the funniest misadventures of Doraemon, Nobita, and the gang. What happens if the characters from Doraemon are all grown up? The answer is courtesy of Toyota Motor Corporation for its "ReBORN" campaign and the tagline "FUN TO DRIVE, AGAIN".

Firstly on the first ad, we saw Japanese actor Satoshi Tsumabuki playing as the 30-year-old Nobita and the Naoya Ogawa played as the 30-year-old Gian, now driving a Toyota Estima. Heh, even 20 years has passed, Gian still picking on Nobita but that's okay.

Later, on the latest ad, we witnessed Tomohisa Yamashita played as 30-year-old Suneo and Asami Mizukawa playing as the 30-year-old Shizuka. Here, we saw Toyota models like the RAV4, FJ Cruiser, Vellfire, Noah, and Wish. For an added surprise, actor Jean Reno (Wasabi, Leon, Ronin, Mission Impossible, Godzilla) for the first time being Doraemon. 

It was like what the heck? How did Mr. Alphard returned to be Doraemon for the Toyota REBORN commercial? It's like he's back! Never mind...

Glad we saw these Doraemon characters all grown up for the Toyota "ReBORN" campaign.

Speaking of which, what's that song played on the commercial? I'll give you the answer, it's Kiseki by GReeeeN.

Oreimo star in a reasonably priced Demio (and Axela)

Kuroneko's the star in a reasonably priced Mazda!

Seriously, it happened again at some newspaper ad for Chiba Mazda dealership and this time, it's Kuroneko's turn. Another Oreimo star in a reasonably priced Mazda, just like Kirino Kousaka from last time.

You could thank the guys who worked at the Chiba Mazda dealership teaming up with Oreimo characters to promote new Mazda models, especially the new Mazda Demio and the new Mazda Axela with SKYACTIV Technology.

Ambitious...but rubbish...

The new Swift RS

2012 Suzuki Swift RS

The special edition Suzuki Swift RS is tuned to be more European rather than being a Japanese compact car. The Swift RS uses the entry-level XG as its foundation but with Euro-tuned suspension for enhanced handling like a European car.

Special items in the Swift RS include a multi-reflector halogen fog lights, leather-wrapped steering wheel, fabric seats, and shift lever stitched in silver, reclining rear seat, rear wing, side skirts, front and rear bumpers, door mirrors with LED side turn lamp, and 16-inch rims.

It's all about being sporty for the new Swift.

The Run of Pagani Huayra

Pagani Huayra

Name: Pagani Huayra

Nationality: Italian

Top Speed: 227 MPH (365kph)

0 - 60 time: 3.4 seconds

BHP: 700 @ 6,000 rpm

Performance: Tier 5

Handling: Normal

Class: Supercar

Drivetrain: RWD

Manufacture Year: 2011

Description:

The Pagani Huayra is the Zonda replacement that ushered in the new age of the Italian supercar brand and this was named after Huayra-Tata, the god of wind from the Aymara legends. It made a world premiere at the 2011 Geneva Auto Salon in March.

The Pagani Huayra is powered by a 6.0L Mercedes-AMG M158 V12 twin-Turbo engine that produces over 700BHP of power and over 1,000Nm of torque. It can go 0-60 in 3.4 seconds and flat-out, the Huayra blows away in 227 MPH (365kph). It is mated with a transverse sequential seven speed gearbox with AMT robotized system. The Huayra weighs 1.350 kg and it has a 44:56 weight distribution.

According to the founder of Pagani, this car is made of more than 4,000 components that requires creativity, patience, and passion that Pagani shared with a fantastic young team and with the most competent partner in various sectors.

When we last saw this car as a Limited Edition bonus of Need For Speed Shift 2 Unleashed, this car is now a Need For Speed exclusive and now it carries on to Need For Speed The Run. NFS fans should be familiar about the Huayra but for first-timers, it takes mastery to control the Huayra in order for players to get through New York, fast! I mean, can I explain the rear spitting fire as I hit nitrous on it? Pretty cool huh? I never know that the Huayra is the next best thing for Pagani! I am really amazed the raw ferocity of the Huayra and this car's just like the Zonda. It looks scary to drive but they don't.

The ultimate Panamera

2012 Porsche Panamera GTS

The Panamera to end all Panameras!

The new 2012 Porsche Panamera GTS is the ultimate Panamera ever made because of its upgraded 4.8L NA engine that produces 430HP, upgraded brakes, lowered body, improved suspension, and everything that makes this new model so special in the eyes of the big boys who are interested with super saloons. Still, the looks are not quite good...

Forza Motorsport 4 meets SUPER POTENTIAL

Making a milestone in Indy!

Before the Mitsubishi GTO (3000GT) emerged in the 1990's, there was this, the Mitsubishi Starion. Built in Nagoya, Japan, the Mitsubishi Starion is the brand's "Turbo Specialty Sports" that became a direct competitor to the Toyota Supra, Mazda RX-7, or even the Nissan Fairlady Z. It is said that this car was exported in the United States as this or as an OEM for the three Chrysler brands; namely Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth, as the Conquest.

The Starion's interior

Aside for being a memorable JDM Legend, the Mitsubishi Starion is proven to be a worthy contender in the motorsports world. It even tackled the Australian Production Car Championship, SCCA, Silverstone, Dutch National Touring Car Championship, Race de Nippon Tsukuba, All Japan Touring Car Race, and GHiland Touring Car 300 km Race.

Spirit of '80s

This JDM Legend is new on Forza Motorsport 4 and you are free to make a milestone out of this classic "Turbo Specialty Sports" that even in 29 years, the Star of Orion still looks good to drive as the other Mitsubishi cars, especially the Lancer Evolution models.
