Pagani Zonda Revolucion revolved

Pagani Zonda Revolucion

This time, they mean it. This is the LAST Pagani Zonda they'll ever make and it's essentially based on the track-weapon Zonda R special machine. It's called the Zonda Revolucion and the epic finale to the Pagani Zonda was revealed during Vanishing Point 2013, serving as the ultimate level of the Zonda R program.

The 6.0L V12 that powers it now churns out 800HP of power and 730Nm of torque. It now weighs 1070kg thanks to extensive use of carbotanium monocoque and the power to weight ratio is now 748hp per tonne, that's more than the Bugatti Veyron.

The track-only finale (they mean it) will be sold in limited numbers at 2.2 million Euros but if you playboys live in the UK, that's going to be a billion pounds because Britain has noise limits and when it breaches, you need your own track.

Let's Do The News! (June 5, 2013)

(cheers and applause)

JM: Wow...I'd never knew you're writing a big complaint about it.

JC: Yes, yes I am. Now anyway, major reason why, as of now, the Punkish Gothic is not yet on the PS3 version of iM@S 2 is because Namco Bandai doesn't have the time and energy to feature because all they do is featuring more and more PS3-exclusive outfits until they had enough and work on their next big project, so therefore, adding the Punkish Gothic costume on the PS3 version is null and void.

JM: Hang on...hang on...So, what you're pointing was that the costume that was once on the XBOX 360 version of iM@S 2 will never see the light of day to be on the PS3 version...I know, that's so disappointing for those who had the PS3 version.

JC: Well, because of that creator's announcement of the next iM@S game coming very very soon, I'm afraid that will be too late for the PS3 iM@S 2 to feature this most-requested Extend Costume we know as Punkish Gothic.

(awwww)

JC: So, anyway, let's do the news,!

JM: Right, the news! And if you are a Filipino in Hong Kong who have been on the friendly match between AZKALS and its rival HK team, I wonder if those guys are okay...

JC: Yeah, that makes me go hmmm because last night, there has been some booing and throwing stuff from the Hong Kong crowd against the Filipinos, especially the team AZKALS, thus turning a so-called friendly match into an unfriendly match, if you know what I mean, right?

JM: Yeah, think about the Filipino audiences who had been in the match. They tweet about getting traumatized in the middle of an unfriendly match between AZKALS against its HK rivals because of so much hissing and booing from the Hong Kong fans against the Filipinos, particularly, the women and children and the bluff that AZKALS came from a nation of slaves...

JC: Wait a minute...nation of slaves? Does this word ring a bell? Oh wait! It was from a 2009 article from Chip Tsao about the Philippines as a nation of slaves! No wonder they coined such ethnic slur from the fans who are booing and hissing from most Filipinos and AZKALS at the Mong Kok Stadium in Kowloon, Hong Kong, last night.

JM: It's a good thing the AZKALS won the match, right?

JC: Yeah. Having the AZKALS won the match against its Hong Kong rivals was a good one because this is their FIRST TIME in seven attempts between the two sides with the last result between the two was in 2011 in a 3-3 draw in the Long Teng Cup. Now, the bad side of it is...

RH: AZKALS are now the most hatred team in the eyes of Hong Kong people?

(audience laughing)

JC: Possibly...but this is just a bluff. Just because the Philippine AZKALS defeated their Hong Kong rival team doesn't mean that they became Hong Kong's most hatred. I mean if it were, those angry Hong Kong crowd's going nuts and then smacking down every living Filipino inside and outside the stadium...

(audience laughing)

RH: Anyway, not only Doctor Who, Lamborghini, McLaren, or the others are celebrating their 50th birthday this year...but the Porsche 911 is joining the birthday list who are celebrating their big 50th birthday for 2013 and as an 50th anniversary bonus, Porsche launched the special edition 911-50 model...here it is...

2014 Porsche 911-50

RH: It's based on the 911 Carrera S, the latest one, but the body is loosely from the Carrera 4, special 911-50 badge at the back, costs £92,257, and limited to 1963 models worldwide.

JC: Wait...1963?

RH: Yep! Reason why they picked that number is because the first Porsche 911 came out in 1963 at the Frankfurt Motor Show so this 50th anniversary special 911 will be revealed at the same venue as well!

JC: Yeah...I knew that it was just a big coincidence....but still I can't see it because...

RH: Oh! Come on! Enough with your Executive Optical jokes in case of a Porsche 911 conundrum!

(audience laughing)

JC: Now anyway...some more supercar crashes of the year and this time, I picked up another report that there was a Lamborghini Aventador crashed somewhere in Thailand...

JM: What?!

(huh?)

JC: True. Somewhere in Thailand, a rich Thai businessman just crashed his Lambo while he was on the trip to his dad's funeral but luckily for the driver, he survived. Reason why he luckily survived the Lambo crash is because he has this...sort of...lucky charm he wore.

JM: What an unbelievable stroke of luck for him.

JC: I know. Imagine if I wear that kind of charm and if I was in the middle of the crash...let's just say a brutal crash...I survived and I got minor injuries.

RH: Yeah but I wouldn't mind wearing a lucky shirt that protects your from gunmen because back then, I just saw a joke about a shirt that possesses a magic power that protects the wearer from bullets but the man remain skeptical about this so to prove, he had to find someone who has a gun to test it and then, later...the lucky shirt was just fake.

(audience laughing)

JC: Hmmm....Seems that I saw that joke too but sometimes, not all lucky charms are created equal because no matter the outcome, you'll be stuck in a dead end and you'll end up getting hurt. Fact or bluff?

JM: More like "celebrity bluff" if you asked me...

(audience laughing)

JC: Anyway, last week, Orphan Black, a BBC America original series, ended its first season run and will return next year for more thrills and spills from Sarah Manning, played by Tatiana Maslany, and her clones. Now, since you guys managed to watched the entire series...guess how much they got salivated on how Season One ended but anyway, since the next season will be next year...Chaps, which of the Tatiana Maslany roles from Orphan Black that tickles your fancy?

JM: Wait...didn't Tatiana Maslany did several roles in this show, especially main protagonist Sarah Manning? How many?

JC: Well, let's see...Tatiana Maslany played as Sarah Manning, Elizabeth, Katja, Alison, Cosima, Helena, Rachel, Sarah as Elizabeth, Sarah as Katja, Helena as Sarah as Elizabeth, Alison as Sarah, Sarah as Alison, Helena as Sarah...there too many to list!

(audience laughing)

RH: So...The real one disguises as one of her clones but some of her clones can disguise as the real one who can disguise as one of her clones....AGH! My brain's going to explode!

JC: I know, right? Orphan Black really explodes your brains because of its darker and intense storyline and because it's coming to UK TVs via BBC Three, I guess this is the best time to say...it's about time! Also, during the wrap-up of this season, the production team says "thank you for your loyalty" with some...well...what to expect on the next season, written on the board. Here it is...



RH: Wait wait wait...One of something in the board says... "Clones host SNL"... does this mean that in the next season, there's going to be an episode where clones ended up hosting Saturday Night Live? My bets on Cosima anyway...

(audience laughing)

JM: And wait...it says "everybody dies"...Does it mean, the clones are going to die?

JC: Not sure but...we'll figure it out when Orphan Black returns next year.

RH: Yeah...looking forward to the SNL episode of that show...

(audience laughing)

JC: Anyway, while we're getting stoked for Christopher Eccleston playing as the bad guy Malekith in the upcoming Thor: The Dark World film this fall, I just got word that there's another Doctor Who alum going to be involved in the world of MARVEL. The latest was none other than...Karen Gillan, who was Amy Pond in the series, will be joining in the cast of an upcoming MARVEL movie Guardians of the Galaxy.

RH: Whoa...whoa...Guardians? Wait a minute...if you said Guardians...would it mean either Legend of the Guardians or Rise of the Guardians?

(audience laughing)

JC: Neither of those, Hammond. Although I still don't get why most of the people who watched Rise of the Guardians love that Jack Frost character and most boys want to dress as him. Anyway, Guardians of the Galaxy. This new MARVEL movie was still in the casting process and they had Glenn Close (who was Cruella De Vil from the 101 Dalmatians), Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana and Dave Bautista lead the cast of Marvel’s space adventure movie, which has Lee Pace and Michael Rooker as villains.

RH: I wonder what role K-Gill's gonna be on next year's film?

JC: As of now...unknown but some say she will play the film’s lead female villain, just like what Sir Chris do in Thor 2.

(audience laughing)

JM: Anyway, that's the end of the news and an update on which is the best Phineas and Ferb song of all time because last week, we had eight songs gunning for the top but for now, it's all down to four.

1) There's a Platypus Controlling Me
2) Summer Belongs To You
3) Brand New Best Friend
4) Everything's Better With Perry

So, it's the semi-finals and only two will remain so...which is gonna be? Log on to http://disneychannel.disney.com/phineas-and-ferb and look for the VOTE link where you'll be decide which of your favorite P&F song will be the best and tune in on Disney Channel this June 28 and let special guest Kelly Osbourne counting down the best P and F songs in order.

Open Letter to NBGi - Not adding Punkish Gothic to PS3 iM@S 2 is a mistake

Punkish Gothic

Open Letter to NBGi - Not adding Punkish Gothic to PS3 iM@S 2 is a mistake

Dear Namco Bandai,

As I know, THE IDOLM@STER 2 is definitely one of the best games for XBOX 360 players and it is essentially the sequel of the game every Japanese gamers got addicted because of its clever gameplay. Sadly, because most of the Japanese otakus of today shown less interest to the XBOX 360, perhaps sales of the XBOX 360 in Japan have plummeted in the recent months, therefore iM@S 2 was also suffered on the setback so to increase sales of this sequel of the popular iM@S game, you've start selling the PS3 version of  THE iDOLM@STER 2 for the very first time since October 2011 but to do that, you're planning some exclusivity, something that the original XBOX 360 version doesn't have, like for instance, the G4U game included in every iDOLM@STER anime Blu-Ray volumes.

It was fine at first, trying to make DLC contents for the PS3 version of iM@S as identical to the original XBOX 360 version but there's one bit of a problem you had pushed it too far. It all began back in late May 2012 when you are trying to throw out something just for owners of the PS3 version, something that you can't put it on the XBOX 360 version. The evidences of this PS3-exclusive downloadable contents that drives XBOX 360 owners insane were Dressy Alice, Rainy Suzuran, Random Color Beauty, Digital Spacecraft, Cutie Insect, Weeping Wisteria, Burning Performer, Stratos Butterfly, Full bloom Yukata Dress, Starlight Agent, My Baby's Breath, Corduroy Country, Circuit Architect, Prima Concerto♪, Cardigan Schooler, Traditional Maid, Bright Eaglet, and Exotic China. These are the DLC outfits available only to the PS3 versions but on the bright side, at least you put most of the DLC outfits that came from the XBOX 360 version...or did you?

You see, there was one outfit short to the lineup and after much investigation, there's one DLC outfit that you hadn't put on the PS3 version. Wanna know what that is, NBGi? Here's a hint; it was on the XBOX 360 version of THE iDOLM@STER 2 and because you're too focused to put so many PS3 exclusives in the game, you have forgotten to put this outfit on the PS3 version. That's right. That DLC outfit that hasn't been added on the PS3 version is none other than...Punkish Gothic (パンキッシュゴシック).

Just one question, why is this DLC outfit hadn't been added to the PS3 version? Why? Are you saying that this Punkish Gothic outfit is not part of you agenda and the main reason why the PS3 version of iM@S 2 didn't come with that remains a mystery? As of now, the Punkish Gothic DLC outfit for THE iDOLM@STER 2 wasn't available on the PlayStation Store but most of the PS3 iM@S 2 players really demanded to have that outfit to be included because it remains one of the most fan-favorite outfits since the first iM@S game.

As I heard, the man behind the iM@S game is teasing a new one "as expected," after having launched a recent social game. It was announced at the end of the Samurai & Dragons Fan Meeting 2013 Summer event on Sunday but before you can announce what kind of iM@S game will be launching very soon, shouldn't you be feature the Punkish Gothic outfit on the PS3 version of iDOLM@STER 2? I know this is the request everyone's been demanding because this needs to be on that version now and that would be nice to have it so the whole DLC catalog for the PS3 version is complete and making them very happy, knowing that the PS3 version of iM@S 2 has everything that you'd expect on the XBOX 360 version plus the PS3 exclusives such as the Dressy Alice, Rainy Suzuran, Random Color Beauty, Digital Spacecraft, Cutie Insect, Weeping Wisteria, Burning Performer, Stratos Butterfly, Full bloom Yukata Dress, Starlight Agent, My Baby's Breath, Corduroy Country, Circuit Architect, Prima Concerto♪, Cardigan Schooler, Traditional Maid, Bright Eaglet, and Exotic China.

I'm asking this a favor, Namco Bandai, please make the Punkish Gothic (パンキッシュゴシック) outfit available on the PS3 version of THE iDOLM@STER 2 for just ¥1,500. Please do it before you can announce this new one you've been told last week. If not, when will you admit that not adding Punkish Gothic to the PS3 version of THE iDOLM@STER 2 is a big mistake?

Thank You.

Sincerely,
(name and address withheld)

What's in our Car Town garage today?

1969 Dodge Dom's Daytona Charger

A custom machine driven by Dominic Torreto, played by Vin Diesel, from the movie, Fast and Furious 6, the sixth installment of The Fast and the Furious franchise. During the production of the film, the producers tweaked a 1969 Dodge Daytona Charger that cost them $5,000 when bought used so what they gonna do with this car is by pared down, sandblasted and rebuilt. It's still one of the good guys' car if you are joining alongside Dom and Brian in an effort to foil Owen Shaw's plans.

2013 Nissan Brian's GT-R

A specially-prepped Nissan R35 GT-R driven by Brian O'Connor, played by Paul Walker, from the movie, Fast and Furious 6, the sixth installment of The Fast and the Furious franchise. One of the best hero cars in FF6 were made courtesy of R's Tuning and formally known as the BenSopra GT-R. With this BenSopra body kit developed specifically for this car, the people behind Brian's GT-R had redesigned the entire factory cooling system to endure each lap session. Later on, SP Engineering provided the tuning program required before any vehicle testing begins.

1974 Ford Brian's Escort Mk1

What started in life as a beautiful rally-born 1974 Ford Escort Mk1 but in Fast and Furious 6, this customized machine driven by Brian O'Connor, played by Paul Walker, is just one of the finest hero cars a former cop turned criminal would ever want to drive if you are on the route to stop Shaw and his ragtag group of bandits. This Escort Mk1 is just one of the Escort rally cars that our English crew built.

COMING SOON: 2014 Kia K5

2014 Kia K5

Coming June 13, 2013, Kia Motors will reveal the facelifted version of the Kia K5 (known globally as the Optima) midsize sedan to the South Korean motoring press. This car has been around for three years since its debut in June 2010, with the addition of hybrid and T-GDi a year after, but for 2014 model year, The New K5 is looking pretty fresh now with new LED foglamps, revised front, revised rear lights, new interior, and the addition of Flex Steer.

Specs remain scarce for now but some say it will have either a non-turbo 2.0L or a 2.0L Turbo GDi included on the 2014 Kia K5. Look for it this June 13, okay? Here's a pre-launch ad...

Let's Do The News! (June 2, 2013)

(cheers and applause)

RH: Uh...any particular reason why would you like the old CLK more than this?

JC: Well, probably because it can do things that the E-Class Coupe can't and most of all, has an AMG version that this one doesn't.

(audience laughing)

JC: Look, one particular reason why Mercedes-Benz didn't add an AMG version for the E-Class Coupe is when during its decision phase, the folks of Mercedes-Benz are deciding what to do on the current E-Class and then, AMG had a different approach, saying that the sedan version of the E-Class is (QUOTE) "the perfect car to be an AMG", so it's a long story.

RH: So, you're saying that the sedan version of the E-Class is the perfect car to be an AMG, why is this?

JC: Beats me. Good thing, they confessed that not adding an AMG version to the E-Class coupe was a big mistake and it's going to be resolved on the next model so in the meantime, I'd would rather stick to the CLK63 Black or for the better...a C63 AMG Black...

(audience laughing)

JC: It's more powerful, you know... Anyway, let's do the news!

JM: Indeed, the news folks, and BIG NEWS because we just heard that Doctor Who's Matt Smith will be retiring his role this Christmas 2013.

(awwww)

JC: Retiring? Matt Smith is retiring his Doctor Who role? He's retiring his BEST JOB in science-fiction history? I don't get it. We had him around for three years since The Eleventh Hour, which was Matt Smith's maiden voyage as the Eleventh Doctor in 2010 and he's the man who propelled Doctor Who as the flagship of BBC with thanks to current showrunner Steven Moffat. Hmmm....Steven F***ing Moffat. What a f***ing liberty...

(audience laughing)

JM: Anyway, the thing is about Mr. Matt Smith is he was voted Best Actor by Readers of Doctor Who Magazine for the 2010 season, he won Most Popular Male Drama Performance award in 2012 NTA, the first actor to to be nominated for a BAFTA in the role, one who revolutionizes bowties and fezzes as cool stuff, the man who yelled "GERONIMO" in the show, and starred alongside different partners such as Amy Pond (Karen Gillan), Rory Williams (Arthur Darvill) and most recently Clara Oswald (Jenna Coleman). Gosh... I really don't know where to start when Mr. Smith's tenure is up...

JC: Yeah, me too. And having Matt Smith retiring his Doctor Who role is just like Benedict XVI retiring his role as the Pope. Question is, who's going to replace Matt Smith for next year?

JM: Well, you know that current Pope Francis? He's a Latino and he's the one that broke the barriers as the first Latino Pope in Vatican history. Do you think there's going to be a Latin Doctor?

(audience laughing)

JC: A Latino playing The Doctor? Well, possibly but there is a main theory about how actors getting the role as Doctor Who. Think of it like..."conclave". A "conclave" for the actors willing to become Doctor Who. When there's black smoke...it's still undecided but when it's white...

JM: There's a new Doctor coming...

(audience laughing)

JM: Yeah...enough about the "conclave" stuff but oh...that reminds me...do you think that mystery man's going to be next?

JC: Who?

JM: Some mystery man who appeared at the Series 7 finale of Doctor Who titled "The Name of The Doctor".  Do you think he could be...IT?

(audience laughing)

JC: I don't know man but it's still a mystery so in the meantime...SPOILERS.

(audience laughing)

JC: Still, no matter the outcome, Doctor Who or no longer, it's still Matt Smith. We had high hopes for his life after Doctor Who and we also wait for the one where Matt Smith directed at...It's called "How To Catch a Monster". We're looking forward for Matt Smith, even life after Doctor Who.

(cheers and applause)

(♫ "EVERYTHING'S BETTER WITH PERRY" plays ♫)

JC: What the?

RH: Oh, sorry. Text message...

(audience laughing)

JC: Anyway, tomorrow, most Filipinos are going to school either fully prepared or empty handed for now and the thing about first day of SY 2013-2014 is, how come students all over the nation after spending a two-month vacation are going to survive this new school year? I mean, there's some meeting of friends and enemies new and old alike, new subjects to learn, the K to 12 stuff, even more aggressive teachers, graded recitations, monthly and quarterly exams, Ibong Adarna, El Filibusterismo, so on, so forth, that's school life! How can students new and old alike can survive a new year of schooling?

JM: I don't know man. Maybe those changes were just one thing to make this school year a bit more complicating than the past. But there are some good moments such as competitions, foundation weeks, and the best bit of school year was...field trip.

JC: Field trip?

JM: Yep. It's when the entire school goes out for some adventure time in different places and sometimes they even give them a piece of day-off from school by swimming at some of the best resorts a student knows where. Sometimes, it's getting a bit too PBB teens...

(audience laughing)

JC: PBB Teens?

JM: Yes. Even in school life, there are some moments that are too...PBB Teens...

(audience laughing)

JM: Think of it like, for instance, you're in a costume party as...Finn. Then, all of your friends are dressing as their favorite Adventure Time characters such as PB (Princess Bubblegum), Marceline, Ice King, Lumpy, BMO, or Jake. When you guys get together...what do you call?

JC: Oh wait...PBB Teens?

(audience laughing)

RH: Uh, guys...Can you please enough of these PBB Teens nonsense! Can we please move on?!

JC: Okay. Sorry about that...(whispering) This is getting too PBB Teens...

(audience laughing)

JC: Anyway, there's a new game coming from Namco Bandai and it's available in the PS3 and PS Vita gaming console. It's called Super Heroine Chronicle and think of it like um...just like all the other crossover RPG games like Heroes Phantasia and Project X Zone. For this crossover RPG, heroines from several franchises join forces to save the world, ranging from Di Gi Charat, Koto from Kyousogiga, Red Angel and Blue Angel from Twin Angel, Super Sonico, Rena Ryugu from Higurashi (When They Cry), Hibiki Tachibana from Symphogear, Aria H. Kanzaki from Aria: The Scarlet Ammo, Houki Shinonono from IS, Louise from The Familiar of Zero, and Rem Ayanokouji from Dream Hunter Rem. Here's the clip that sums up...



(cheers and applause)

RH: Wow! Another mashup of the best anime heroines in one game since the other mashup RPG games like Namco X Capcom, Heroes Phantasia, and Project X Zone. Can't get any better than this!

JC: Agreed, Hammond! And that's the news!

JM: Yeah and before we end the news, since Hammond got his ringtone set to Everything's Better With Perry, do you think this is the best Phineas and Ferb song of all time? Or what about I'm Me? Do you think this is better? Log on to http://disneychannel.disney.com/phineas-and-ferb and look for the VOTE link where you'll be decide which of your favorite P&F song will be the best and tune in on Disney Channel this June 28 and let special guest Kelly Osbourne counting down the best P and F songs in order.

Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe and Cabriolet Minor Change

2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe and Cabriolet

Along with the sedan and estate, the coupe versions and cabriolet versions of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class W212 were given a minor change as well. Although it is essentially a minor change for these two-door brothers thanks to its new schnoz, it feels like it has nothing in common with the sedan and tourer equivalents because...well, let's find out...

First of all, it's still not as sporty to drive as the sedan and tourer equivalents even though two-doors is enough to call it a driver-focused model of the E-Class family. Think about it, folks. Even though the Coupe and Cabriolet E-Class models are more than enough to satisfy an unnecessary selfie, it's not quite qualified to be more of a thoroughbred rather than being a sophisticated two-door saloon car for the privileged few who are always self-centered. Alpha males just don't get it because even though the E-Class Coupe and Cabriolet were made just for them, they would rather go for the old-fashioned CLK instead because...well, you know why.

Anyway, while these two are not classified to be called "sports cars", both the new E-Class Coupe and Cabriolet models are designed to be more of an "everyday car" because if you were the sort of selfie who takes them out for a stroll in, well, let's just say EDSA or Quezon City, or Bonifacio Global City, these cars were made to be head-turners because when every time there's someone saw you around driving one of those, you'd be rather be mistaken for a high-profile celebrity going out for a dinner with a special someone that you can't tell to anyone.

Of course, rather than being a head-turner, it's a comfortable car as well. It's like you're making a bland mushroom soup from a can very exciting to eat by putting some milk and some tuna. I like it. I made that meal myself, though. Anyway, while it has the feeling of sipping your freshly cooked meal, there is a bit of a problem about these; they're not quite exciting to drive those either, even when you take these on one of the world's best driving roads. It feels like that you went to the best rollercoaster in town and 5 seconds later, it's over. It's not quite an Enchanted Kingdom-level of excitement but rather...a Pixie Forest-level of excitement. Oh, and if you don't know what a Pixie Forest was, it's on the Festival Supermall. Those who find it boring don't go there and instead go to X-Site. It's more fun though.

2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe and Cabriolet interior

Engine ranges include a 2.0L turbo petrol engine, 3.0L V6 turbo petrol engine, a 2.1L diesel engine, and a 3.0L V6 diesel engine may seem to be rather fine but it seems that none of those engine types that tickles your fancy. Even with the most powerful engine in the lineup which produces 333hp of power and an electronically limited top speed of 155mph, it feels a bit Jon Tickle than a tickle machine and even if you're acting like a Brainiac like what speedo boys do, it's not quite more exciting even though it's short on power compared to its AMG-badged predecessor, the old CLK which was built until 2009. Boo...

Like the four-door equivalents, both the E-Class Coupe and Cabriolet also comes with host of safety features, most that will be appeared on the next S-Class, such as  PRE-SAFE PLUS, ATTENTION ASSIST driver drowsiness monitor, Driver Assistance Package with DISTRONIC PLUS adaptive cruise control with Steering Assist and PRE-SAFE Brake, plus Active Blind Spot Assist and Active Lane Keeping Assist, and PARKTRONIC with enhanced Active Parking Assist. Not only this car is more of an everyday car, it's safer as well because thanks to all of these features, this car cares about the driver more than the car itself. Hmmm...

Meh...I'd rather not sold to this new model anyway. With times like this, best to go back to the old CLK instead because not only it's more exciting to drive than the new E-Class Coupe and Cabriolet, it has the hotter version that these two...isn't. Fat chance, kid. Fat chance...

Let's Do The News! (June 1, 2013)

JM: And now the news, and yes, Vauxhall revealed the all new VXR8. Here it is now...

2014 Vauxhall VXR8

(ooohh)

JM: Yep. Still sourced from Australia like the original, but now comes with the same 6.2-litre V8 that powers the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 so it produces about 576bhp of power and 545lb-ft of torque, making it the most powerful VXR8 yet.

JC: I had to say that 576bhp of power is quite more than enough to eat the E63 AMG and the M5 for breakfast but the question is by what margin?

RH: Well, I don't know. Unless you're Aussie, you'll say...ahem (in Australian accent) Strewth!

(audience laughing)

JC: Indeed it was but since this is just a muscle car with four doors, I bet I'm looking forward to try out the best VXR8 ever. Okay, while sticking on the General Motors issue, Chevrolet revealed their emergency minor change for the...um...Malibu. Here it is...

2014 Chevrolet Malibu

JC: You know, why did Chevrolet facelifted a car that was launched a year ago? How's that possible?

RH: Well, in my theory, maybe because of the build quality issues because when it was launched two years ago in South Korea, it doesn't seem quite bothering to them and then in China, Europe, and Australia as a Holden Malibu. But in the US, it's a different story because they didn't like it and they have migrated to its Asian rivals. So to solve this, the front face for the 2014 Malibu took some styling inspirations from its big brother, the Impala. Also, the new 2.5L engine for the Malibu is rather too focused on fuel economy rather than performance...

JC: Huh? So, there has been a power drop like what just happened on the...well, you know...

RH: Yep. Minus one for the power output and less torquey as well, all in the name of fuel economy of 35mpg highway thanks to some start-stop system that shuts the engine off when stopped and then start again when you set off. It also comes with a turbocharged 2.0L variant which now comes with added torque. Too bad we still not having a word from UK Chevrolet when we will get one. I mean look...

JC: Too American...As American as a Big Mac...

(audience laughing)

JC: And I can't believe I ate some Big Mac during lunch time...  He he he.... Anyway, moving on and some tragic news that while two weeks ago, a massive tornado hits Oklahoma which sends ten-thousands of homes crushed. Anyone heard the news? Now, recently, another strong tornado hits Oklahoma city and all we can hope now for the safety of Oklahomans is...well, like we always do...PRAY.

RH: Indeed. I'd suggest you guys shall pray for the safety of Oklahomans, especially those from Tornado Alley. Stay safe!

(applause)

JC: Okay, now moving on... You know those Wikipedia pages we often use for referential purposes? Yep, we often use this site for something something everyday, especially looking on what's what behind our favorite stuff. You guys use Wikipedia, right? Hands up...

(some audience raising hands)

JC: Anyway, I just found something on the internet that there's a list of 100 most "controversial" topics in Japanese Wikipedia page defined by the number of edits.

(audience laughing)

RH: Define "controversial" and "number of edits", can these user-generated articles from the Wikipedia page can't get any worse than that?

JC: Beats me. 100 most controversial topics in Japanese Wikipedia but let me tell you a hint. The number one topic of dispute in the US Wikipedia was...wait for it...wait for it...former US President George W. Bush because of the number of edit wars when it comes to grammar, references, so on, so forth. But, we're tackling on the top 100 topics from Japanese Wikipedia and here's the list...written in Japanese. Ready?

JM: Uh...can't we shorten it up to top 10? I'm afraid we won't have much time mentioning 100 controversial topics straight from the Wikipedia Japan.

(audience laughing)

JC: Thanks James for your consideration. Anyway, due to time constraints, let's just mention the ten most controversial Wikipedia Japan topics, okay? Here goes...

1. 在日韓国・朝鮮人
2. 韓国起源説
3. 男性差別
4. ネット右翼
5. AKB48
6. 仮面ライダーシリーズ登場怪人一覧
7. ONE_PIECE
8. 金妍兒
9. 福島瑞穂
10. 轟轟戦隊ボウケンジャー

Full List: http://wwm.phy.bme.hu/Top100/top100_ja_wiki.txt

RH: Hmmm...Kinda interesting that AKB48 and ONE PIECE were on that list and...what's that on the number one list?

JC: Probably says...“zainichi Koreans.”

(audience laughing)

JM: Anyway, enough about that stuff and that's the end of the news.
