Toyota Ractis and Subaru Trezia 2015 minor change

It's the new Toyota Ractis (Verso-S) and Subaru Trezia! Sort of...The second-generation Toyota Ractis, as well as its Subaru twin, the Trezia, has been updated for the 2015 model year and for these compact cars, they're now more economical and keen looking than ever before.

2015 Toyota Ractis

Well, on the outside, some subtle changes are occurred from the front grille, revised headlamps, revised rear lamps, and a little else of that. Not only the outside gets some cosmetic changes but on the inside...

2015 Toyota Ractis interior

...well, there interior's mildly revised with the hint of a revised instrumental panel for some models. Now, even though the cosmetic changes is a bit enough to differentiate it from the pre-facelift, the biggest change happened on both the Trezia and the Ractis is the implementation of the brand new 1NR-FKE engine first applied on the Vitz minor change last month.

1NR-FKE

For a quick recap, the 1NR-KFE engine uses the Atkinson Cycle commonly used in their hybrid cars and provides and enhanced expansion ration and reduces waste heat through a high compression ratio of 13.5:1. It can be utilized with the use of a tumble flow-generating intake, cooled EGR, and VVT-iE (Variable Valve Timing - intelligent Electric) technology.

With the new 1NR-FKE engine, both the Trezia and the Ractis will have the JC08 Mode-calculated fuel economy of 20.0kmpl but couple that with the idling stop feature and it will return about 21.8kmpl, making it one of the class-leading fuel-economy figures ever recorded. Of course, if you want more power, you can opt for the 1.5L 1NZ-FE engine, which develops 109PS of power output and fuel economy of 20.6kmpl when equipped with an idling stop function. Of course, most models do come with the CVT gearbox but for 1.5L models, the CVT comes with a 7-speed manual mode and a SPORT switch which makes it a bit too peppy...I think...

The 2015 Ractis starts from 1,615,091 up to 1,954,800 Japanese Yen (about $16,200 to $19,550) while the 2015 Trezia starts from 1,566,000 up to 2,131,000 Japanese Yen (about $15,700 to $21,310). The pricing may not be textbook but they can be a smart buy for the smart consumers.

Available colors for the Ractis: White Pearl Crystal Shine, Silver Metallic, Black Mica, Super Red V, Bronze Mica Metallic, Light Blue Mica Metallic, Satin Blue Mica Metallic, Deep Amethyst Mica Metallic, and Super White II.

Available Colors for the Trezia: White Pearl Crystal Shine, Silver Metallic, Black Mica, Super Red V, Bronze Mica Metallic, Satin Blue Mica Metallic, and Deep Amethyst Mica Metallic.

Sewol Tragedy: Three members named martyrs

Three crew members of the Sewol ferry that submerged last month were recognized as "martyrs". All were part-time members - including an engaged couple - who could have escaped but remained in the ferry to help trapped passengers. Those members were Kim Ki-Woong (age 28), Jung Hyun-Seon (also age 28), and Park Ji-young (age 21). These members' heroic sacrifices stood in stark contrast to the captain and most of the crew who were abandoned ship on the day of the sinking.

So far, the death toll is 275 while 29 people remained missing because search and rescue efforts remained hampered by bad weather.

What's in our Car Town garage today?

2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STi

Premiered at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show, the third-generation WRX STi puts a new spin on the fan-favorite 4WD rally machine because for this generation, it's offered exclusively as a 5-door hatchback rather than the 4-door saloon that most Subarists adore because of its heritage. Not only that, the third-generation WRX STi incorporates a host of cutting-edge technology such as DCCD and Si-DRIVE to keep it in tune with the times.

2011 BMW 1M Coupe

The most compact coupe from BMW gets all pumped up with the BMW 1M Coupe. Originally they have to call it the M1 but they decide to call it the 1M to avoid further confusion to the M1, which is sacred to BMW as their first-and-last mid-engined supercar that spearheaded the BMW M division. Using the same 3.0L turbocharged engine from the top-of-the-line Z4, the 1M develops 335HP of power and 450Nm of torque. With a light package, big power, and a whole lot of charisma, the 1M is designed to make you happy.

2012 Lamborghini Aventador J

This one-off Lamborghini Aventador as seen at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show has no roof and no windows, making it one of the most extreme exotic made for a very special customer. Because it's based on the flagship Aventador, it uses the same 6.5L V12 engine from the original Aventador so when you push it to the max, best to tread lightly and pack a helmet because this roofless beast is capable to shred your face off at high speeds.

Let's Do The News! (May 10, 2014)

Things we learned today...

- I've digged up some rather clever news earlier and this one is about from Nintendo. Moments ago, when Nintendo announced to sell Tomodachi Life to the North American consumers next month, there was one part that caused the community in angst and this part is about why same-sex relationships is not part of Tomodachi Life. Nintendo fan Tye Marini began the #Miiquality social media campaign to bring fans address concerns about this little mess about homosexuals not part of the game.

In the official statement by Nintendo; they've apologized to the community about no homosexual relationships in this game but promised that in the next installment, they will provide as they promised in the future.



Moral to the report? Real life equality first, virtual equality later...

- Another LGBT-related news I'd dug up from a not-too-distant past is this; a conservative pastor puts an attack on the Disney Frozen film, saying that this movie will turn children gay...errr what? He states two conspiracy theories that the theme song "Let It Go" is a coming out song, stating that snow queen Elsa realizes she was born that way and accepts who she is and the other one is about the male character Kristoff who has an "unnatural relationship" with his animal companion Sven. Sounds painful but nobody really cares about it...there's nothing gay about a girls' movie.

- Some San Francisco residents sticking fliers on the side of the Tesla Model S electric saloons, exposing about TESLA MOTORS' shocking truth. What is it about? Find out here...

- Check out the teaser trailer for Disney's upcoming fall family comedy movie, ALEXANDER and the Terrible, Horrible No Good, Very Bad Day.

 

- In a report from PEP, Bubble Gang actress Rufa Mae Quinto reveals the success of her cyst removal operation.

In Game 1 of the PBA 2014 Commissioner's Cup finals between San Mig Super Coffee Mixers vs. Talk 'N Text Tropang Texters; it looks like the Super Coffee Mixers took the lead after a 95-80 win against the Tropang Texters. In a best-out-of-5-games match, looks like things are going well for last year's champions but will they keep up on Game 2 or will Tropang Texters snag a chance?

- The Philippine authorities arrested some Chinese fishermen for infringing wildlife law. The capture of the Chinese fisherman does not serve as a provocation against China's territorial row.

TTFN!!!
