Kia K5 Hybrid's Guinness World Record sets standards

2012 Kia K5 Hybrid


Gotta admit it that the Kia K5 Hybrid (Kia Optima Hybrid) has set a Guinness World Record for using just 5.5 tanks of petrol in a 14-day, 12,712km cross country trip all over the United States of America.

With Wayne Gerdes and Chris Bernius behind the wheel of the Kia K5 Hybrid, this trip achieved an amazing fuel consumption of 27.44km/L (about 64.5 miles per gallon or 3.6L/100km).

It's amazing that the Kia K5 Hybrid is the best vehicle for a very long road trip not only because it was spacious, comfortable, and fun-to-drive, but also the parallel gasoline-electric powertrain benefited the best fuel efficiency on highway driving. Now I'm sure most Koreans would go for the Kia K5 Hybrid because of its Guinness World Record that exceeds expectations.

Driving Music (What is the name of the song on car commercial?) Vol. 11

Not long ago, we've been under attacked by some unknown hacker from an unknown territory. The unknown hacker from nowhere left a message saying "colonna sonora hyundai i40". We don't know what language is this but we think it means "commercial song hyundai i40". To respond against this hacker, probably some kind of car enthusiast looking for car commercial songs to fill in before driving on the highway, I'll give him/her some top 5 Driving Musics (Car Commercial Songs) for him/her to enjoy.

5. Chick Habit by March April - as heard on a Renault Twingo II French TV commercial aired since 2007.

4. The Man with a Harmonica (from Once Upon A Time In The West OST) - as heard from the Peugeot 607 commercial. It's a fear car.

3. Just Can't Get Enough by the Black Eyed Peas - as heard from the Peugeot Music promo commercial. This song is part of the Universal Music catalog where one who purchased a Peugeot gets one year of free music courtesy of Universal Music. DISCLAIMER: This promo is over

2. Mister Sun by Brigitte Bardot - as heard from the Renault Wind 2011 French TV ad

1. Rock & Roll Music by The Beatles - as heard from the Hyundai i40 Korean TV commercial.

...and that does it. If anyone's hacking my computer, this segment's open at all times.

David Coulthard versus the world on a special GT5 event (The Verdict)

Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG in Gran Turismo 5


Back in September 5, 2011 at 11:20PM Japan Standard Time, David Coulthard invited players for a challenge of "Virtual vs. Reality" on a special SLS AMG Seasonal Event where players are driving a normal SLS AMG on The Top Gear Test Track and gain a chance to challenge against David Coulthard on a "Virtual vs. Reality" race.

At the Mercedes-Benz World in Brooklands, the best GT5 players are gathered for the ultimate challenge and whoever has the best GT5 Top Gear Test Track time in an SLS AMG right here at Mercedes-Benz World in Brooklands gets a trip for two to Brazil, where the Formula One 2011 Finals takes place this November 27, 2011.

Jason Birt (age 31) from East London garnered the best position with the lap time of 01:16.86, beating out against all the players but it has a +.548 gap against David Coulthard's real lap time of 1:16.32, making a proving stage that reality is better than virtual.

Too bad he didn't beat David Coulthard's best time but for Jason Birt, he got himself a trip to Brazil to watch the final round of the 2011 Formula One race!

The Secret Origin of Pizza Pie?

Before summarizing The Secret Origin of Pizza Pie (Ang Alamat ng Pizza Pie) according to Banana Split's Lola Melai, Ryan Bang's here again with two Korean girls sitting beside him for another set of KorePino words. First off, the Korean word of "Beside" is "Yeop E" but sounds like either UP (University of the Philippines) or the Tagalog word for "Flat". Then, the Korean word of "From" is "Bu Teo" but sounds like "Buto" which is Tagalog for "Bone".

OK, now where was I? Oh yeah! Ang Alamat ng Pizza Pie!

It all started when two men (let's call them Rasheed and Jason) are very hungry and there is nothing to eat at home. They yelled at the woman (let's call it Sunshine) for some food but the woman said that she already cooked some pie when suddenly, Jason got sat at the pie accidentally. Oh great, Jason Francisco just wasted the pie Sunshine Garcia cooked for both Jason and Rasheed when suddenly, the pie, which Jason accidentally sat on it, tasted great! Both Rasheed and Sunshine love it and from now, they discovered Pizza Pie! (Get it? Pisa Pie!)

This "pisa" pie tastes great!

Speaking of which, you can now catch Banana Split every weekday afternoons after Happy Yippee Yehey under the title "Banana Split Laughternoon Delight". 2:45PM Philippine Standard Time before I DARE YOU on ABS-CBN's Kapamilya Gold, beginning September 19, 2011! See you there!

The Best Chevy of all time - 1969 Chevrolet Camaro

1969 Chevrolet Camaro


A few moments ago, General Motors held some kind of a Chevrolet (for Korean car enthusiasts: 쉐보레) popularity poll to see which Chevrolet from different decades stands out in commemoration of Chevrolet's 100th anniversary.

One Chevrolet stood out the crowd and the 1969 Chevrolet Camaro (1969년형 쉐보레 카마로) won the popularity poll, besting out the other 15 Chevrolet models from various decades.

Results:
1. 1969 Camaro (25,058 votes) - Best Chevy of All Time
2. 1970 Chevelle SS (18,449 votes)
3. 1953 Corvette (13,297 votes)
4. 1957 Bel Air (13,151 votes)
5. 1963 Corvette Sting Ray (10,597 votes)
6. 2009 Corvette ZR1 (10,188 votes)
7. 1948 Pickup (9,242 votes)
8. 1936 Suburban (6,459 votes)
9. 2010 Camaro (4,861 votes)
10. 2011 Volt (3,140 votes)
11. 1962 Impala (2,597 votes)
12. 1964 Malibu (2,135 votes)
13. 1989 Pickup (1,822 votes)
14. 1969 K Blazer (1,541 votes)
15. 1932 Deluxe Sport Roadster (1,072 votes)
16. 1912 Classic Six (759 votes)

PRESS RELEASE:
DETROIT – Nearly 125,000 Chevrolet fans have spoken, naming the 1969 Camaro the "Best Chevy of All Time."

As part of Chevrolet's Centennial celebration, fans were asked to vote for their favorite vehicle from Chevrolet's 100-year history. During the four-round, elimination bracket, the 1969 Camaro garnered 25,058 of the 124,368 votes cast, edging out the 1970 Chevelle SS in the final round.

Tom Peters, Chevrolet Design director, believes the '69 Camaro is not only one of the best vehicles in Chevrolet's history but one of the best vehicles ever. He is a little biased, however, having owned the same 1969 Camaro for nearly 20 years.

"I can vividly remember seeing one for the first time as a kid," Peters said. "The intent of the Camaro was instantly understood, even to a 14-year old like me, because it possessed a very powerful personality and an elegant, simple design. The Camaro was so cool because it offered this great style, high performance, and yet was attainable for someone just getting out of school.

"Today, the '69 Camaro has become one of the best examples of timeless design in the industry," Peters said. "Like the very best designs, the Camaro is much more than just a machine because it evokes powerful emotions in people of all ages. That's why we looked to the '69 for inspiration when designing the fifth-generation Camaro, and why the '69 Camaro is an example of the timeless vehicles Chevrolet will strive to deliver for the next 100 years."


This goes to show, it doesn't matter which Chevrolet, new and old, you prefer but what matters is, you're with the Bowtie that stands out the crowd.

Driving Music (What is the name of the song on car commercial?) Vol. 10

Our blogs' been under attacked by some unknown hacker from Canada, who left a message that says "kia k5 song". I mean come on, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A KIA K5 SONG. It's an original and you can't find it! Go away! Scram!

Because of such intrusion, let me give you Volume 10 of our Driving Music segment, where we can show you the best 5 Driving Musics (Car Commercial Songs) for you to enjoy finding it. We're not warning you...

5) Zombie by The Cranberries - you may hear it at a Renault Clio commercial where this guy's listening to that song while driving a white Renault Sport Clio. Life is too short to be boring...

4) Mommy Complex by Peaches - you may hear it on a latest Citroen DS3 commercial where the twin girls switch through various fashion. The Citroen DS3 is all about personalization.

3. Quando Quando by Englebert Humperdinck - you may hear it on a Honda Fit Shuttle Japanese TV commercial.

2. Surfin' USA by The Beach Boys - you may hear it on a Renault Kangoo French commercial where a kid submitted a pile of papers filled with "what are your plans this weekend" assignment to the teacher. So, what are your plans this weekend?

1. Here I Am by Maia Hirasawa - this must be the song from the Japanese Lexus CT200h commercial. I'm sure you heard of it.

...and these were the best five Driving Musics (Car Commercial Songs) for you to enjoy. If anyone hacks, this segment never ends until you had enough looking for car commercial songs. It pays to be a knowledgeable car enthusiast knowing what are the songs played on some car commercials.

Melai's tips while eating outside with your date...

Before we explain Melai's tips while eating outside with your date, Pooh explains some funny ways to communicate without hurting their feelings on NO HURT FEELINGS:

1) How can you say that his manliligaw style is too old-school? You say that you compared it to Sharon and Gabby

2) How can you say that his joke is too old? Appreciate it!

3) How can you say that her cook is not so delicious? Tell to her to marry someone who's good at cooking.

...and now for the tips:

5) If you went to the restaurant and if your date's lending you a seat, your date likes you

4) Peek at your date

3) Order some "sabaw" and feed it to your date

2) Tell something funny and when your date laughed, your date likes you

1) If your date holds your hand, THIS IS IT!

Effective? Yes! Will it work? MELAI MO MAGWORK...

Okay, now you had your laugh, Lola Melai's here again for The Secret Origin of High Five or Ang Alamat ng APIR:

It all begins when two men are bothered by some flying insects. Both of these men lost their one of their arms. While these one-armed men still getting bothered by these flying insects, these two come up with a plan to get rid of these insects. All it takes is some High-5! Hi-5! Yeah!
HIGH-FIVE!
..and this is the secret origin of Hi-5 (or Ang Alamat ng Apir).

LEXUSのモノづくり? BEACH QUEENS 篠ノ之箒, 誕生!

WAVE Infinite Stratos Houki Shinonono
Beach Queens figure


Sure, it is expected for an April 2012 release but this not some kind of product you'll expect seeing it on the "Lexus Collection 2012 Spring & Summer" catalog. Yep, just saying the whole "IS(アイエス)" pun. Okay, time for some TSUBAKI STORIES...

The upcoming WAVE BEACH QUEENS Houki Shinonono figure, to be released this April 2012, really takes "The Pursuit of Perfection" to the next level because she's from IS (Infinite Stratos). Looks like L-Finesse really pays off to create such a premium forged figure.

Crikey! Top Gear Australia got cancelled!

"It's true - as of next week, TGA will be on at the special time of not at all. Sorry to the open-minded people that gave it a go and enjoyed!" - Steve Pizzati, Top Gear Australia host

Oh, crikey! It seems that the Australian version of Top Gear got themselves pulled out because of very low ratings and the viewership waned to about 400,000.

Australia's Channel Nine decided to get rid of Top Gear Australia after two years of programming the Aussie version of the BBC hit motoring TV magazine. At its first run, it garnered 1.5 million viewers nationwide but later on dropped to about 400,000 viewers nationwide.

This Australian channel said that only four episodes of the current season but only three are aired, which means, when will they aired the fourth episode of this current season of Top Gear Australia?

Back in 2008, Top Gear Australia was aired in SBS and this version is hosted by Steve Pizzati, Charlie Cox, and Warren Brown. Every version has their own Stig and Top Gear Australia's never without The Stig, Top Gear's mascot driver. Later on, with season 2 of Top Gear Australia produced by SBS, Charlie Cox was been replaced by James Morrison, a musician just before Channel Nine obtain the rights in last year. When Nine aired TGA, both James Morrison and Warren Brown got replaced by actor Shane Jacobson and Ewen Page, a journalist.

It's been a rough memo to remove the Australian version of Top Gear but I'm sure we'll miss this Aussie version.

トヨタプリウス(ZVW30)のマイナーチェンジ?

2012 Toyota Prius


A facelifted third-generation Toyota Prius made a surprise appearance at the 2011 IAA in Frankfurt, Germany and upon looking at the front view, it looks like that the 2012 Toyota Prius has a front bumper derived from its big brother, the Prius Alpha MPV. Not only that, there's a new rear lamp designed applied and wow, this one pleases me.


I believe that the facelifted 2012 Toyota Prius will come to Japan this 4th quarter (November 2011, perhaps?) thanks to this leaked information courtesy of Carstadium.net.

Question is, will the Prius G's (G Sports) arrive also with the Prius facelift? Not sure but be patient.

It started when a little boy is playing video games using his iPhone but the iPhone's screen is too small, making the little boy dizzy until, his iPhone fell off and got squished by a car. When his iPhone got squished, the boy noticed that his iPhone's got enlarged and he calls it iPad!

After learning the secret origin of the iPad, let's move on to Lucky and Wacky!

When Lucky (Jobert Austria) and Wacky (Jayson Gainza) got their arms wounded, eating meals is hard but with a little help, they eat those meals with heads and a little "make me eat it".

The new Around View Monitor on the 5G Grandeur 3.3 GDi Celebrity

Around View Monitor developed exclusively
for the 2012 Hyundai Grandeur 3.3 GDi Celebrity


The new Around View Monitor offered exclusively on the 2012 Hyundai 5G Grandeur HG330 Celebrity says that this is the first Korean car to get such technology for enhanced parking safety. What I say is, that Hyundai snagged this technology from Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., because this technology was used on cars such as the Nissan Skyline Crossover (Infiniti EX), Infiniti QX56, and the Nissan Elgrand.

Anyway, the Hyundai 5G Grandeur HG330 Celebrity's Around View Monitor uses separate cameras to display the image of a vehicle from above. This provides the Grandeur to confirm it's relation to the lines around the parking space. With the Around View Monitor, the owner can position the Grandeur Celebrity for parallel parking or park the car in a smart way with ease.

Let's define "Super-SUV" - The Eterniti Hemera Concept

Eterniti Hemera Concept


What's exactly a Super-SUV? A sports utility vehicle possessing attributes of an exotic sports car? Not sure, but a new luxury car maker, Eterniti Motors London, made that up for their first product, the Hemera.

It maybe a British clone car of the Porsche Cayenne but the Eterniti Hemera is capable of over 180mph of top speed and over 620bhp of power, claiming that this is the world's first super SUV ever made.
That's not all. Even with a sporty exterior, the Hemera has a luxurious interior, making it a haven of luxury, comfort, and protection, using only the finest materials handcrafted by the finest craftsmen from around the world.

It was designed and engineered at the London-based NYX Atelier.

WHAT? There will be no Japan-spec Ninth generation Civic?

North-America spec Honda Civic


Europe-spec Honda Civic

There was a ninth-generation Honda Civic in the USA, and there was a ninth-generation Honda Civic in Europe (to be on sale next year). Now, the question really comes in mind is, will there be a Japan-spec ninth-generation Civic?

Takanobu Ito, president and CEO of Honda Motor Co., Ltd, says that "there is no possibility for a Japan-spec new Civic soon", which is bad news for Civic fans like us.

Remember that the Honda Civic was discontinued in Japan last Summer 2010 for unknown reasons. In fact, this is going to be such bad thing why Honda is letting countries like the US and Europe getting the ninth-generation Civic.

He said that Japan has many Civic fans but it's undecided to bring the new Civic to the Japanese market because of the March 11 disaster, strong Yen, or whatever the heck he'll explain...

"Japan has lots of Civic fans. We have no plans for a Japan-spec new Civic but there will..." Takanobu Ito said that when he was at the 2011 IAA at Frankfurt, Germany.

Is Japan has a possibility to bring the new Civic? Or would Honda likely reject it?

Europe-spec Toyota Avensis III facelift!

2012 Euro-Spec Toyota Avensis facelift


The Toyota Avensis hasn't been on sale in Japan yet but here in Europe, this third-generation Avensis was been there for about 3 years and it deserved a mid-life facelift, which made a world premiere at the 2011 IAA at Frankfurt, Germany.

This can't be happening! NO! It's unfair!

You know, Japan is not getting short changed with the Toyota Avensis, to be on sale on Japan next week as a wagon model with limited availability, because it is "the latest available in Japan".
