Happy 1st Anniversary, SKYACTIV Technology!

In June 2011, Mazda Motor Corporation sold the very first car that comes with SKYACTIV Technology, which is essentially a facelifted version of the third-generation Demio. We celebrate the 1st anniversary Mazda's SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY, which promises the best fuel economy without sacrificing performance. Let's have a brief moment to take a look at the Mazda SKYACTIV models but first...

What is SKYACTIV Technology?

Part of Mazda's vision to create a perfect harmony between ecology of the hybrid car and the performance of the gasoline-powered car, the term SKYACTIV was born. The SKYACTIV technology provides driving pleasure and outstanding eco-friendly and safely performance to customers with the fuel efficient engines, efficient transmissions, and "lighter and rigid" platforms.

SKYACTIV No. 1: Demio

2012 Mazda Demio

The new 2012 Mazda Demio is the first Mazda to be equipped with the all new P3-VPS (1.3-litre SKYACTIV-G) engine. The new SKYACTIV-G engine is the next generation of Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) engine that is the first to attain the world's highest petrol engine compression ratio of 14.0:1, 15% increase of fuel efficiency and torque, and a 4-2-1 exhaust system, cavity pistons, multihole injectors and some of the technology that makes SKYACTIV "Only the sky is the limit" after all. The Mazda Demio 13-SKYACTIV provides 84ps/5400rpm of power, 11.4kg-m/4000rpm of torque, and the fuel economy of 30km/L (10-15 mode). With that, the new Mazda Demio SKYACTIV is the reigning "king" of fuel efficiency, dethroning the 27.0km/L cars like the fifth-generation Daihatsu Move and the third-generation Suzuki MR Wagon!

Good to know that Mazda's i-stop feature found on the second-generation Axela/3 and the third-generation Mazda Premacy/5 is included at the Mazda Demio/2 13-SKYACTIV model. With i-stop equipped, it will automatically shut-off the P3-VPS (1.3L DOHC SKYACTIV-G) engine when stopped at the red light. Also included is the CVT for enhanced fuel efficiency, good for those who want to take a long Japanese trip this summer.

SKYACTIV No. 2: Axela

2012 Mazda Axela

Marked as the 2nd Mazda to be equipped with SKYACTIV Technology, the Mazda Axela 20-SKYACTIV comes with the new PE-VPS (2.0L 4-cylinder DOHC 16-Valve SKYACTIV-G) direct injection engine that provides the best compression ratio, 4-2-1 exhaust system for the excellent knock-resistant technology, and combustion improvement. If the PE-VPS engine wasn't enough, a new SKYACTIV-DRIVE was equipped and this one has all the advantages of a conventional step CVT, Dual Clutch, and Step Automatic Transmission. The new SKYACTIV-DRIVE is the ultimate automatic transmission developed exclusively to the Mazda Axela SKYACTIV variants, which provides good fuel economy at both low and high speeds, easy start up (Launch feel), easy start up on hill (Creep), direct feel, and smooth shifting (Shifting Quality). This new transmission is "ideal for global market" like a region-free Playstation 3 if you know what I mean. With this region-free SKYACTIV-DRIVE, the fuel economy of the Mazda Axela SKYACTIV is good for 20.0km/L based on Japan's 10-15 mode scale and 17.6km/L based on Japan's JC08 mode scale. This has bound to be the best SKYACTIV-powered model ever made and it also comes with the exclusive i-DM (intelligent Drive Master) which provides real time information and some advices before you get off the Axela SKYACTIV.

SKYACTIV No. 3: CX-5

2013 Mazda CX-5

SKYACTIV Technology promises optimized fuel economy and uncompromising performance, so that's why the Mazda CX-5 has the best of both worlds. First, the 2.0 liter SKYACTIV-G i-stop engine (PE-VPS) engine produces 155PS of power and 196Nm of torque. This is equipped on the 20C and 20S 2WD variants and it provides them 16km/L of fuel economy, making it more efficient than its key rival, the Mitsubishi RVR. For the first time in Mazda history and it's available only on the CX-5 XD (Cross-D) variants is the brand-new 2.2 liter SKYACTIV-D i-stop (SH-VPTS) Common Rail diesel engine that produces 175PS of power and 420Nm of torque. It promises a record-breaking fuel economy of 18.6km/L. Depending on the variant, the new CX-5 comes with an improved 4WD for all round driving with fuel economy of 15.6km/L for the 2.0L petrol variant and 18.0km/L for the 2.2L diesel engine. Most variants do come with the 6-speed SKYACTIV-DRIVE transmission that has good fuel economy, easy start up, direct feel, and smooth shifting, ideal for the world market.

The Mazda CX-5 is the first Mazda to come with the all new Smart City Brake Support that uses a laser sensor to detect a vehicle or obstacle in front and automatically reduces the extent of the brake rotor travel to quicken braking operation. If the driver fails to brake, SCBS automatically activates the brakes and reduces the engine output at the same time. It's like what the Volvo S60 and the Subaru Impreza Sport/G4 does.

To sum up then: The Demio is the first SKYACTIV model from Mazda. The Axela is the first Mazda model to have the SKYACTIV-DRIVE transmission. And the Mazda CX-5 is a full-fledged SKYACTIV vehicle that has everything SKYACTIV; SKYACTIV-D, SKYACTIV-G, SKYACTIV-DRIVE, SKYACTIV-BODY, and SKYACTIV-CHASSIS. Mazda's SKYACTIV Technology evolved the internal combustion engine, provide enjoyment, reduced weight, sportscar-like shift feel, world-class level of crash safety performance, and everything that made it great. Of course, most fuel efficient cars have taken away fun-loving performance especially is some have a little ECO buttons. For SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY, they defied the limits; fun-to-drive characteristics with better fuel economy. Here in the Philippines, the only Mazda model we have with SKYACTIV Technology is the CX-5 but it puzzled me that as we all know, direct-injected cars won't work in the Philippines because our fuel is very dirty and it may cause knocks. Seems that they didn't care about the risk learned from an old GDi Pajero back in the 1990's.

Anyway, it's a MANY HAPPY RETURNS for Mazda's SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY but if I have to choose which of these three Mazda SKYACTIV vehicles is my type, I would probably go for the Mazda CX-5 because this is the first model to have everything SKYACTIV and the first model to adopt the KODO -Soul In Motion- design philosophy. It looks like the Minagi concept car a couple of moments ago and overall, I like it. I really wish I wanna have one of those.

"More Malt For Energy"

On the June 22, 2012 episode of Bubble Gang

- If you're gay, then how come you're a bit different? This guy pretends that his gay after peeking some girls' melons and her man got angry at him.

- Knight gags

- Pickup Lines!!!

1) Engineer ka ba? Kasi gusto kita pakasalan ENGINEER future!

2) Pag nilayuan mo ako, parang resulta ng laban ni Pacquiao at Bradley. Kasi di ko matanggap.

3) Di na ko naniniwala na LIFE IS SHORT, kasi pag nakikita kita, humahaba ang buhay ko!

4) Hindi na importante sa akin ang front view mo, back view mo, o side view mo. KASI KAHIT ANONG VIEW, I LOVE YOU!!!

5) Para kang isang sikreto. Kasi mahirap kang mapagkatiwala sa iba.

6) Pag kaharap kita, nawawala ako sa sarili! NAWAWALA AKO SA SARILI!

7) Asin ka ba? Kasi I LOVE YOU ALAT!

3) Antonio Aquitania asks "Meron po bang nasusulat tungkol sa pinakamasarap, yung da best sa pagluluto?" Ang Dating Doon says that "ang pinakaimportanteng sangkap sa pagluluto ay LOVE". From a song from Adele; "There's a fire starting in my heart, reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the dark, we could have it all, rolling in the deep, you had my heart inside your hand, and you played it to the bit, throw your soul to every open door, count your blessings to find what you're looking for"

4) A Twit from someone keeps asking the same question. Guess what words were a bit wrong? Here;

 a) ALL CAPS - right but what about small caps? Small caps is wrong. No such thing as a small capital letter.

b) W - Nope, not double-u, double-v. Get it? Because it has two V's.

c) tuck-in - No such thing as tuck out. If you tucked your clothes in, how can you tuck your clothes out?

- This little boy's dream is to be a villain of some sort...

The Majestic Tale of the Mad Viper

Viper GTS ACR

Viper SRT10

Viper Competition Coupe

Viper SRT10 ACR

This whole Viper Week reminded me to look back at the history of the Dodge Viper and I have been given a week to sample the old Vipers right before I have the chance to try out the all new 2013 Viper GTS on Forza Motorsport 4. Well, I just did, I drove everything from Viper GTS ACR to Viper SRT-10 ACR. I have different tastes on those different generations and it appears I have learned a lot about the Viper legacy so now....

What machine is this?

It's coming!

...Now it's here. It's ready to go to work and show everyone who's the big boss. Venomous, slithering, and now ready for action. Everybody please welcome, 2013 SRT VIPER GTS!

Meet the 2013 SRT Viper GTS

The all new 2013 SRT Viper is yours to collect, race, customize, or explore in Autovista as a free DLC.

2013 SRT Viper GTS at the Top Gear Test Track

2013 SRT Viper GTS at the Top Gear Test Track

After hiatus, the return of the Viper no longer bears the Dodge Viper name but it was called SRT Viper when it was premiered at the 2012 New York International Auto Show. It was evolved to incorporate superior craftsmanship, a host of new technologies and ergonimic improvements while respecting its visceral legacy of performance.

8.4L V10 OHV engne

The new SRT Viper comes with the same 8.4L V10 OHV engine from the previous Dodge Viper SRT-10 but now it churns out 640HP of power and 600lb-ft of torque. It is mated with a Tremec TR6060 six-speed manual transmission with a shorter throw shifter, close gear ratio, and shorter final drive ratio of 3.07. With a triple-digit weight loss, the power-to-weight ratio is better than the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 and the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1.

Stryker

1992-2003 Vipers have the logo called the "Sneaky Pete". 2003-2010 Vipers have the logo called "Fangs". For the new SRT Viper, it introduces a new Viper logo that looks intimidating to many and they called it "Stryker". What's it all about the new Stryker logo on the 2013 SRT Viper?

Designed by Vince Galante, the new "Stryker" logo is the third since Viper was launched in 1991 as a 1992 model, following earlier logos "Sneaky Pete" and "Fangs." This new logo provides a venomous detail that makes it a befitting take on a sports car that packs aggression and anger. Sadly however, this new Stryker logo took the idea from the logo of FLYING LIZARD MOTORSPORTS.

Excuse me but, you got our logo! Give it back!

Oops...Looks like we're facing an issue here. Despite that, there's something wicked about the Stryker logo. If the speedo reached through the red line, the Stryker logo shows up, and trust me on this, this is a warning sign that you have to change gear.

Stryker at the instrumental panel!

How cool was that? If you're scared about this Stryker logo coming out on your speedo, your best bet is to change gear before this shows up. My gosh, that logo was a complete nightmare, scaring kids of all ages. If you're not brave, then don't drive this car. We know that you're getting scared on this...scary looking Stryker logo.

2013 SRT Viper GTS' interior

Did I say scary? That new Viper emblem was in that steering wheel. If you're scared, then best to cover it with duct tape. He he he he.... But no, I'm brave enough to see that new Viper logo so it's fine for me. I like this new logo because it has some character on it. Anyway, on the interior, what you expect is handcrafted with some artisan spirit. For the Viper GTS model, all surfaces are fully leather skinned, and standard accent colors are applied to the seats, doors, center console and stitching. As for the seating, high-performance racing seats from Sabelt feature a lightweight Kevlar/fiberglass shell created by a state-of-the-art resin transfer molding technology for mass reduction and long-term durability.

The question of power to weight ratio is too inevitable. SRT says that 2013 Viper GTS has better power to weight ratio than the Lamborghini Aventador and the Corvette ZR1 but when you put the 2013 Viper against the Aventador, that's hopeless. However, we'll be focusing on the ZR1. As always, the rivalry between Viper and Corvette is a civil war that proves which of these two deserved to be "king of American sports cars". When the Viper was gone, the Corvette shines through as the undisputed king of American sports cars. Now that the Viper is back, this would be what happened when the ZR1 is pitted against the 2013 Viper...

See who stacks up now?

See who stacks up now? Does the Corvette stacks up against the new Viper? Nope! The Viper stacks up! Meet your new king! The 2013 Viper is now the KING OF AMERICAN SPORTS CARS! What SRT made is a masterpiece, not only it made a car that has better power to weight ratio than the ZR1, they made a car that promises nothing but humiliation against General Motors! Once again, General Motors will always be the losers. Anyway, enough bragging rights and for a bit of a downfall....

Now that the new Viper ditches the Dodge name, it appears that the 2013 Viper won't be in Dodge dealerships so what dealerships will carry on the new 2013 SRT Viper for its late 2012 sale? Some say, Chrysler Group LLC will challenge all dealerships with a series of tests. Those series of tests will prove that a certain dealership will be declared an SRT specialist dealership and that specialist dealership will feature the 2013 SRT Viper in their showrooms.

Which reminds me, I checked around Forza Motorsport 4 about the 2013 SRT Viper and there could only be one thing...That's all it could happen! Viper is now a stand-alone brand of Chrysler Group LLC! Even though this is SRT's first halo car, the fate can't be changed! Anyway, enough about that and figuring out how fast the 2013 Viper round the track and of course, hand it over to our tamed racing driver...

Our SRT Viper did it in 1:19.129, which means that this American sports car is a hypercar! It's a hypercar. If an exotic did below the 1:20 mark at the Top Gear Test Track, it's declared a hypercar and this SRT Viper just did! I'm amazed that this new SRT Viper really works. It's faster than the previous Dodge Viper SRT-10 but it's a few seconds slower than the old SRT-10 ACR. What an improvement. Triple-digit weight loss, improved V10 OHV engine, improved aerodynamics, this new Viper is just an astonishing masterpiece and this is surely became the KING of American sport cars, not the Corvette!

Let's Do The News! (June 22, 2012)

(Audience applause)

Oh that was too close! That was really close for Oklahoma City Thunder! Can't believe that Miami Heat became the champion!

I should be feeling smug about that.

What?

They have failed to beat my fave but I have to say, both of these times are incredible.

Yeah Captain Slow, they're really incredible. Both Oklahoma City and Miami are like two sides of the square. They're highly incredible I should say. Oklahoma City Thunder may be incredible but Miami Heat's BURNING UP for the win. It's like Fire beats Electricity.

Uh-huh, but we couldn't just forget about this moment so to all of Miami Heat, Lebron James, Dwayne Wade, and coach Erik Spoelstra, can we just say CONGRATULATIONS for winning the NBA FINALS after 5 games and 4-1 against Oklahoma City Thunder.

CONGRATULATIONS, MIAMI HEAT!!!

YEAH! CONGRATULATIONS MIAMI HEAT! YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST! As for coach Spoelstra, who turns out to be a big fan of Manny Pacquiao, can we just say that you really get what you deserved. You are now the BEST HEAD COACH of this season!

Scoop: http://www.interaksyon.com/interaktv/pacquiao-fan-spoelstra-cherishes-first-nba-title-as-head-coach

(audience applause)

That reminds me the time when the big boys of Miami Heat planned for something if they win the Finals. It's like "Hey! If we win, let's sing WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS on Kevin Durant's face!"

(audience laughing)

Well, they did! And they're going to humiliate Kevin Durant! How lucky was that for the head honchos of Miami Heat? They'll going to celebrate Oklahoma City's humiliation at the basketball court!

Oh and one more thing, imagine that, if Boy Pick Up does a pickup line to Lebron James, it will be like this...

Boy Pick Up meets Lebron James

(audience laughing)

He's right. Seems that we can smell the champion! CHAMPION!!! Lebron James smell like a CHAMPION...detergent!

(audience laughing)

Or for the better...CHAMPION CIGARETTES!!!

(audience laughing)

Now anyway, enough smug right now. Enough smug about Miami Heat's win and let's move on, but again CONGRATULATIONS TO MIAMI HEAT for winning the championship! Now, sad news okay, you may have heard that one of our classic Doctor Who actresses, whose name is Caroline John, was passed away. Very sad but yes.

Rest in pieces Caroline John. You're still one of our all time Doctor Who greats for being a companion of The Doctor during the time Jon Pertwee was the third incarnation in the 70's.

Yeah, rest in pieces...Let's put this sadness behind us and now this...

2013 SRT Viper

Do you see this? The 2013 SRT Viper?

Yeah. We're almost here...

Almost here...

Right. We're almost here. Tomorrow, we'll be getting this on Forza Motorsport 4 and we'll drive this car round the Top Gear Test Track. If you got it on the game, feel free by twitting this experience with this hashtag #firstSRTViper because we want this one to be TRENDING TOPIC WORLDWIDE.

I should point out that this hashtag is going to be something else because at the Barrett-Jackson auction tomorrow, SRT Viper #1 that came out from the production line will be auctioned off and proceeds will go to the Austin Hatcher Foundation for Pediatric Cancer.

Scoop: http://www.drivesrt.com/news/2012/04/first-2013-srt-viper-heads-to-barrett-jackson-in-orange-countyto-benefit-austin-hatcher-foundation.html

Yeah right. But still we want the hashtag #firstSRTViper to be trending because...this is the first time we'll be driving the all new 2013 SRT Viper on Forza Motorsport 4 tomorrow. ARE YOU READY?

I'M READY!!!!

(audience laughing)

Good luck with that! Hey now, Scion FR-S, what the American of Toyota 86, in case you want to know how does the FR-S' limited slip differential works, here's a clip:

Uh, something's bug me....As you may know that last year, when the TOYOTA 86 premiered at the Tokyo Motor Show, Gran Turismo 5 did featured it on an update but rest assured, SONY has the rights of the TOYOTA 86 (Scion FR-S) and always will be. Please, SONY HAS THE EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS TO THE TOYOTA 86/SCION FR-S. Have you seen the NHK World article about the Toyota 86?

Yeah, and there was the part that Toyota will soon be making a feature that records the TOYOTA 86/SCION FR-S' progress on the Playstation, which serves the point. Speaking of which, this is the last time to try out the soon-to-be-on-GT5 Twin Ring Motegi at the GT Academy 2012 because it will be gone this week. As in, GT Academy 2012 is over in 2 days. Better have your last taste of Motegi-ness.

That's right. Uh...it is weird that why did Twin Ring Motegi is not featured on Gran Turismo 5. You know there is a Gran Turismo Cafe on the Twin Ring Motegi. Feels like that the Japanese race track has been betrayed by a Japanese racing video game, which is somewhat ironic.

There was a Gran Turismo Cafe at Twin Ring Motegi? Oh....

URL: http://www.twinring.jp/foods_m/gran-turismo.html

Gosh, they should be really featuring the Twin Ring Motegi on GT5 soon and also new cars. What I'm really wish to see were those SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY models from Mazda or even the Ferrari FF or the new Swift Sport or the Vitz RS or something else...It would be like...Dressy Alice...

(audience laughing)

...Rainy Suzuran...Random Color Beauty...Digital Spacecraft....

(audience laughing)

....March’s Usagi Ears...Wonderland Key....Fairytale Flower Breath....

(audience laughing)

...Colorful Caterpillar...Fairy’s Pointed Ears...Fairy’s Charming Wings...Fairy’s Magical Wand....and Fairy’s Magical Shoes...

(audience laughing)

Hate to say this James but you're mentioning something from a DLC of the Playstation3 version of THE IDOLM@STER 2 (laughing)

Yeah, those things are the things you can't put some vinyls on it...

Did I said something?

(audience laughing)

As a man who wants something we really don't prefer something more of a DRESSY ALICE, RAINY SUZURAN, DIGITAL SPACECRAFT, and RANDOM COLOR BEAUTY. It's like....driving a MINI COOPER S COUNTRYMAN on the streets of Tokyo, which is rather a car you want to make an IM@S itasha of...

Speaking of which, itasha....can we do some itasha based on British pop culture?

British itasha?

Nah, I'm talking about that. Never will....

(audience laughing)

Anyway, have you seen ROAD&TRACK's comparison between the Cadillac CTS-V and the BMW M5 F10? If not, here;

The verdict is simple; GM Sucks, BMW wins.

(audience laughing)

Oh really?! The BMW M5 F10 stacks out against the Cadillac CTS-V?

Indeed it is as observed on that clip! AND THAT'S THE NEWS!

In Loving Memory: Caroline John

Caroline John and Jon Pertwee

Fans of the classic Doctor Who may remember Caroline John, the actress who played Liz Shaw, one of the classic Doctor Who companions since the Jon Pertwee years. It's sad to say that this memorable actress who became The Doctor's companion in the past has passed away.

"Caroline was a brilliant actress and in her role as Liz Shaw, a tremendous co-star for Jon Pertwee in his first year as the Doctor.  She was not just a sidekick but a scientist in her own right and a match for the universe's number one know-all. The Doctor's companions should never be his assistants - they're the people who keep him on his toes, and that's what Caroline did.  From everyone at the show, our thoughts go out to Caroline’s family." said Steven Moffat, the lead writer and Executive Producer of Doctor Who.

R.I.P. Caroline John, 1940 – 2012.

She'll be joining the ranks of other deceased personalities who are greatly involved in Doctor Who, especially Elisabeth Sladen who died last year but still one of the all time Doctor Who greats.

1 Day Before SRT Viper!!!!

This is it! Tomorrow, the all new 2013 SRT Viper arrives on Forza Motorsport 4 as a Free DLC! Right now, because this is my last Viper to drive before the new model tomorrow, the Viper SRT-10 ACR makes it a perfect sendoff for this countdown.

Viper SRT-10 ACR at the Top Gear Studio

The ACR name (means American Club Racer) was introduced in 1999 but for  the 2008 model year, the ACR name was resurrected as the striped-out race-ready version of the Viper SRT-10. Upgrades include street-legal racing tires, two-piece brake rotors, adjustable suspension, and significant aerodynamic revision. There was an optional "HARDCORE PACKAGE" feature that strips away the aircon, radio, speakers, amplifier, carpet, hood pad, or tire inflator, in favor of saving weight and a lap timer.

A year later after production of the Viper ended in 2010, a 2010 Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR lapped the Nurburgring in 7:12.13.

To bid farewell of the Viper's tenure, a track-only version of the ACR, dubbed the ACR-X, was launced to compete in the Dodge Viper Cup Series. It has a 40HP increase to the V10 engine, a new set of downforce-enhancing front canards, and new materials that, along with a stripped interior, reduced weight to 3,300 lb (1,500 kg). When the ACR-X arrived at the Nurburgring, it set a lap time of 7:03.058, a full 9.072 seconds faster than the regular ACR.

So, that concludes it! Tomorrow, the SRT Viper arrives on Forza Motorsport 4. Question is, what should we do with the 2013 SRT Viper? For me, I'll drive this one round the Top Gear Test Track! If you have the SRT Viper on Forza Motorsport 4, feel free to share experiences. For the Twitter geeks, best to leave the hashtag #firstSRTViper

Si Pidol, kritikal na siya!

I have been a long time fan of Dolphy since Home Along Da Riles. He's the legendary comedian who was been in several movies and his "Banayad Whiskey" joke is definitely one of my all time favorite Dolphy moments. Even though he's in TV5 for Pidol's Wonderland, that Dolphy tries to edge out the competition. Sadly, I read some news that the legendary Pinoy comedian is in critical stage while he was hospitalized at Makati Medical Center and his vital organs are deteriorating. How worse was it?

Eric Quizon, who was one of Dolphy's kids, said "It can happen anytime. The doctors have been very truthful to us, although walang oras pa na ibinibigay. Sa ngayon his vital signs are stable, pero it can change anytime,”

It is revealed that Dolphy has COPD or chronic obs­tructive pulmonary disease. If you don't know what COPD means, it is a progressive disease that makes it hard to breathe. "Progressive" means the disease gets worse over time. It can cause coughing that produces large amounts of mucus (a slimy substance), wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and other symptoms.

Let's offer a few minutes of silence to pray for the recovery of our dearly loved and admired Tatay Dolphy.
