Driving Music (What is the name of the song on car commercial?) Vol. 56



So many of my American readers trying to figure out what are the songs heard from the latest Toyota Corolla commercial...Hmmm....You mean like this one?



After hours of research, here are the songs you heard from the Toyota Corolla "Style Never Goes Out Of Style" commercial. Sadly, my whole "name that song" app in my iPhone gets all clunky and all problematic. Anyway...

1) Edwin Starr - 25 Miles

2) Chic - Le Freak

3) Herbie Hancock - Rockit

4) Soundgarden - Rusty Cage

5) Shy Kidx - Orion

So, happy now? This whole segment "never goes out of style", get it? See what I just did there? He he he... Anyway, these are the five driving musics to find it on your local music stores. Driving Music. The segment where all the car commercial songs are archived for findings. Which driving musics will be featured next? Stay tuned for more...

BREAKING NEWS: Military, defense leaders declare end to Zamboanga siege

Hmmm....well according to the report I found on TV5's Interaksyon news site, Defense and Armed Forces officials began proclaiming the end of the 20-day Zamboanga standoff with all hostages freed and MNLF rebels captured and confined to a military controlled "constriction" areas. In a televised report from PTV, Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin declared this 20-day siege finished.

Over the course of the stand-off by the numbers for now, 194 hostages were freed, 18 soldiers and 5 policemen died on the stand off, 167 soldiers and 14 policemen were wounded. Civilian casualty is 9 dead with 57 injured civilians.

Based on the military reports, 52 MNLF rebels were surrendered, 223 were captured, and 100 are killed.

That maybe the case but...is the siege over?

Cars GT6 Should Put (Volume 11)

In a galaxy far far away, just off our backyard, lies Leopaul's Blog; boldly pushing the boundaries of car culture because there's some CARS GT6 SHOULD PUT.



Cars like...

1) Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG '13

WHY: Hopefully, GT6 should feature the latest version of the SL65 AMG roadster. This V12-powered roadster delivers more power than its predecessor, although not as powerful as the fabled SL65 AMG Black Series of the 2009 but still, it's worth the fun driving a fast roadster with a big turbocharged engine on it. Come on, this car needs a spot it deserved...

2) Citroen DS5 '11

WHY: The DS5 is the flagship of the Citroen DS range and it is essentially the first ever Citroen car to incorporate the diesel-hybrid powerplant made by PSA Peugeot Citroen. Don't mind about that but that seems lame to us. The DS5 were interested is the one with the THP 200 engine on it but don't be shy, this isn't a racer when we mess this one in some of the finest tracks on Gran Turismo 6. Still, this is worth a nice car to be photographed for in Photo Travels.

3) Infiniti Q50 Hybrid Sport '14

While Nissan is still busy making the finishing touches about the V37 Skyline stuff, how about this for a change then? The Infiniti Q50 served as the replacement to the Skyline-based G37 sedan and it's the first to incorporate Infiniti's new naming scheme where all cars start with the Q and all SUVs and crossovers start with the QX. The most interesting Q50 we want to see on the GT6 is the hybrid model which features the same powerplant from the Fuga Hybrid, mated with a double-clutch gearbox rather than the conventional CVTs that you get in most hybrids and amazingly, has more power than the 3.7L model. Who says hybrids can't be so liberating?

4) Bentley Continental GT '11

WHY: So far, the Gran Turismo series only has one Bentley in their list and it's that Speed 8 LMP. For gT6, what we really need is a road-going Bentley and perhaps this new Bentley Continental GT should do the trick. Did you know that in Series 19 opener of Top Gear, James May enlisted WRC driver Kris Meeke to do some rallying on the Bentley Continental GT? Well in that case, please feature it and because this is 4WD, let's hope this is the Bentley that fits with dirt or snow tires to the mix.

5) Ford Anglia 105E '67

WHY: As seen on Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets when the Weasley siblings drove their dad's car to fetch Harry Potter and then crashed to the Whomping Willow in an effort to reach Hogwarts. Well, we may not get Weasley's Anglia but the real one, identical to it, should do the trick. Not as magical as the one from Harry Potter but it's worth a collectible like every geek in the world wants one.

The results please? So, if Polyphony's still on the rethinking process whether these cars I've mentioned will be featured on Gran Turismo 6, whether in game or as a DLC, you can't say that I didn't had a bit to do with that.

Take that to Kaz Yamauchi!

RUSH - A Ron Howard film

RUSH


If Raikkonen of the present day is a F1 bad boy notable of saying rude words on TV, then his level is no match to 1970's James Hunt, who is the original bad boy of the Formula One history. James Simon Wallis Hunt is one of Britain's finest F1 racers of the past decade when he became the 1976 World Champion against all odds. Disqualified after his win at Spain and Brands Hatch and then Niki Lauda's flaming crash that caused the end of F1 days at the Nurburgring Nordschleife for good.

RUSH, a Ron Howard film, centers on a true-to-life story of one of Formula One's bad boys of the past in a very dramatic kind of way. This movie discovers James Hunt like you never seen before, giving you an edge-of-your-seat thrills as viewers dig deeper through James Hunt's career right until the fiery crash that nearly killed Niki Lauda at the Nurburgring.

Chris Hemsworth, while taking a break from wielding the hammer of the gods before November's Thor: The Dark World, is the perfect man to play the role of James Hunt even though his drinking and womanising were legendary in the James Hunt story. Daniel Bruhl, on the other hand, gets to play as the very prolific Niki Lauda, one of the most notable F1 racers of the 70's and James Hunt's fierce rival.

First impressions may not be quite as redeeming as the others but as the film progresses further and further until the fiery crash, RUSH is becoming as tense as the storyline itself. Although the suspense is a bit moderate, the thrills offered is getting more and more convincing and yes, Ron Howard sure knows how to make a true-to-life story more powerful and more compelling than an pantomime drama. It really grips the viewers with such emotion, the flavor, the power, and yes really, the perfection only this movie can pull on.

Although there is suppose to have room for improvement, I have to say that petrolheads are more than welcome to watch RUSH because we want to know James Hunt in a totally different level despite the crude thought of seeing Thor trading his hammer of the gods for a Formula One car and some track overalls.

Sometimes disappointing but it's still worth it to watch such of the finest masterpieces of 2013. Who wouldn't want to watch such a fine thing?
