Honda previews 5th generation Odyssey
 |
| 2014 Honda Odyssey |
For the first time in Odyssey history, the all new fifth-generation Odyssey now features dual sliding doors and as for the dimensions, the new Odyssey is now bigger than its predecessor and it's now matches Toyota Alphard and Nissan Elgrand territory because of its 4830x1800x1695mm dimension (4830x1820x1685mm for the top-of-the-line Absolute model). With such sizing, the new fifth-generation Odyssey not only replaces the previous RB3 model but also the Elysion, which is known to be the last of the V6 Hondas. With the Elysion discontinued, it's the end of the V6-powered Hondas as we know it...for now.
The new model retains the 2.4L engine mated with a CVT gearbox but reports said that the top-of-the-line Absolute model will have a fuel economy of 14.0km/L on JC08 mode standards, that's more than the Alphard and the Elgrand had!
The all-new fifth-generation Odyssey will be on sale in Japan this November.

Top gear USA S04E04
 |
| TGUSA S04E04 |
America's biggest cars from the last century were in the focus from that episode of TGUSA Season 4 and here in Tennessee, the boys are challenging which of America's biggest cars is the best. Rutledge goes for the blinged-up Chevrolet Caprice Classic while Adam opts for the Buick Electra and Tanner goes for the Lincoln Continental Mark IV.
The first challenge involves speed test and with 83mph, Adam and the Electra won the first challenge.
Meanwhile, the boys put their cars' suspension to the test as they cross the railroads and back without making a mess out of their lunch. With Adam forfeited because it might damage the car, and Rut making a mess in his "donk" car and his shorts, guess it's Tanner's...but anyway, with Rut and the donk left, the two guys are off to Nashville for the finale and the winner gets to ride the new Corvette Stingray.
Amazingly, Rut's back to the group and the donk in his Impala's gone and replaced with the small wheels. However, he's not quitting yet because later, he put a boat in the back of his Impala for comical reasons and yes, Adam took Rut's idea and his Electra's armed to the teeth with a grand piano on the roof complete with a pianist! Such stupidity from these two made Tanner send themselves somewhere that what makes the true meaning of a "land barge" and for that...he enlisted The Stig!
Thanks to The Stig, Tanner Foust will be the key person to power test the brand new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Stingray.

| C7 Corvette Stingray in TGUSA |
A great new car deserves a tough challenge and for that, Tanner's heading to Detroit to see if the C7 Corvette is better of with our without traction control. Red goes TCS off while Blue goes TCS on. Don't forget, the C7 Corvette has a Performance Traction Management which GM claims that it's a well advanced Traction Control which lets you have fun without crashing yourself out. It's a C7 with TCS off vs. a C7 with TCS on.
In the end, looks like the one with TCS OFF won against the one with the TCS ON, only just though. Still impressive to compare the new Corvette Stingray's capabilities.

2012 Lotus Exige R-GT
Three decades after the Talbot Sunbeam Lotus won the World Rally Championship, Lotus steps back to the world of rallying courtesy of the rally-spec version of the V6-powered Lotus Exige S. Called the R-GT, this rally-spec Exige toned down its 3.5L V6 engine to 299bhp of power output, less than the normal Exige S V6. To meet the minimum weight regulations, the R-GT weighs about 1200kg. Lotus spend their workdays at the FIA GT category of the WRC 2012 season in Monte Carlo, Tour de Corse, and San Remo, testing out the capabilities of the Exige R-GT.

2010 Dodge Viper ACR-X
With the Dodge Viper ended its production in 2010 and due to return in 2012, Chrysler launched the race-spec version of the hardcore Dodge Viper ACR, known as the ACR-X. Although, the V10 engine that powers it is now 40HP more than the ACR, it's a stripped-out track-only snake which weighs over three tons. Legend has it that it lapped the Nurburgring in 7:03.058, 9 seconds faster than the normal ACR.

1970 Ford Torino Cobra
The Torino, on its 1970 model year, is five inches longer and two inches wider than its predecessor and those dimensional changes have to make due to the 429-cid engine which comes with 10.5:1 compression ratio and 360HP of power output. The Cobra version is a much deadlier beast even though it saw 10HP increase to the 429 engine as well as a 11.3:1 compression ratio. The Jet Ram-Air version still has the same update as the Torino Cobra but it features an optional shaker hood.

Let's Do The News! (September 25, 2013)
Here are some moments that you had missed...
- Do you still remember the whole "End of the World" episode from Doctor Who back in 2005, when the series returned and on that episode, The Doctor (who was Christopher Eccleston back then) and Rose (Billie Piper) time traveled through the year 5 billion when they've witnessed the world's end? Well, there's more to add from this "Doctor Who IRL" files...sort of because study suggests that Earth will remain habitable for another two billion years just as long as no calamities ravaging through. Two billion years remaining of Earth's habitable zone...that's about three billion less to its deadline.
- Back at the Indonesia International Motor Show, Daihatsu revealed eight concept cars on the venue, including different concept versions of the Ayla compact car.
- Moments during last week's Singapore GP, Lotus Cars opened its flagship showroom in Singapore and this 4400 sq. ft. outlet is located at the heart of the city and will be operated by Richburg Motors, which represent Lotus in Hong Kong.
- Iranian leader Hassan Rouhani claims that his country's nuclear program is for peaceful purposes and nuclear weapons are NOT in Iran's doctrine. Can't you believe what he just said? He REALLY DID get the nerve into saying that...

Yes, this is Hinagiku Katsura's third full album since...well, the first one since February 2009 and the second one since December 2011 and for this all new album, Shizuka Ito, the voiceover of Hinagiku Katsura, returns to perform 11 songs including the titular song "Message".
