Let's Do The News! (May 11, 2012)

Okay, we're doing the news now and ever since the launch of the new E160 Toyota Corolla in Japan, is the Belta dead?

Well, frankly yes. That was told by a Japanese-speaking Toyota dealership in the South of Tokyo. He said that with the launch of the new Corolla, they will be stop selling the Belta/Yaris Sedan. Yep, but that hasn't been verified because the Toyota Belta is still listed on the Japanese Toyota website. If the Belta was removed from their lineup, we'll confirm that the Belta is dead. The Belta cease to exsits.

Anyway, while waiting for the verdict, Toyota said that they'll be offering Aero parts for the brand new 2013 Toyota Corolla Axio and Fielder. We have some pictures here...








(wow)

Ooh, bodykits for the Axio and Fielder looked nice. I like the TRD Sportivo kind of thing anyway though.

Yeah. I gotta say that they really looked good if they are on their different clothing. Those aero kits are an option for the buyer.

Anyway, while we are waiting for the new season of Top Gear next year, Top Gear USA presenter Adam Ferrera confirmed that there will be a new season of Top Gear USA in the works. 


(wow)

Ah! What a twist. When Jezza's said that there will be no new Top Gear till next year, Adam Ferrera said the complete opposite when it comes to the American version. So, when will they shoot?

Uh, says here that shooting for the next Top Gear USA will start in the weekend so stay tuned for more TG updates.

Right, uh...chaps? About the very last Saab 9-3...Guess what? The Saab fanatics finally got their hands on the last Saab ever built. Yep, they raised enough cash to purchase the final Saab, what is likely to be the last Saab of any sort ever produced.


Oh. Good job Saab fans. You deserve the credit to preserve the final Saab in its existence. It's the fans that deserve the credit more than the Detroit giant.

Anyway, uh I got news that starting May 25 to 27, Lamborghini Super Trofeo Asia Series starts in Sepang Circuit, Malaysia. This starts of the Lamborghini Super Trofeo Asia Series where we can see Gallardo race cars racing from  Sepang, Fuji, Ordos, Zhuhai, Penbay and Shanghai for the Grand Finale in November. Sadly though, they didn't mentioned Subic because (clears throat)


So, anyway, what to see at the 2012 Lamborghini Super Trofeo Asia Series?

We expect teams from Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and mainland China push the Super Trofeo to its limits. This race is sponsored by Blancpain, Swiss watchmaker and the European series’ title sponsor.

So, let's move on to something something because the new F30 BMW 3-Series has arrived in the Philippines.

TopGear.com.ph Philippine Car News - The all-new BMW 3-Series has arrived

It's available in two models such as the 2.0-liter 328i with its TwinPower Turbo-equipped engine that puts out 242hp and 350Nm of torque, and the 2.0-liter 320d, which produces 181hp and 380Nm of torque and is billed as "one of the world’s cleanest and most economical diesel engines." This new F30 3-Series is offered in three lines; the Sport Line, the Luxury Line and the Modern Line.

So, how much is the BMW F30?

Prices of the BMW 3 Series (F30) starts at 4,290,000 Pesos for the 328i while the 320d is priced at 3,490,000 Pesos so on paper, the diesel variant is cheaper than the petrol variant. Oh yeah...


Now, what about this? The new Ferrari FF?

TopGear.com.ph Philippine Car News - Up close and personal with the FF

Yep, the Ferrari FF is now in the Philippines courtesy of Autostrada Motore. We know all about its details, its bespoke 4WD, its V12 GDi engine, its four seater, everything. Last year, it sold out since its Geneva debut just like the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4. An article of Top Gear Philippines said that someone from GMA's Eat Bulaga was the first one to bought the Ferrari FF. Who could that be? Tito Sotto? Vic Sotto? Joey de Leon? Jose Manalo? Nobody knows who's that person from Eat Bulaga bought the Ferrari FF but anyway. It's good to see the Ferrari FF landed on Philippine soil. I drove this one on Forza Motorsport 4 and I have to say that despite its 4WD, it still acts like a RWD. IT ACTS LIKE A FERRARI!

There is a simple lesson learned from Clarkson's DVD that the Ferrari 458 is fast but if you encounter a puddle of wee, you'll need a 4WD or you could be in big trouble. Yep. You've seen the part on Powered Up where the 458 lost at the final corner covered in pee. Jeremy Clarkson thinks that the FF is ugly.

I have to admit it that the Ferrari FF did featured on one episode of Top Gear against the Bentley Continental GT V8.

What's next for Autostrada Motore? I hope it's the new F12 berlinetta, the new flagship Ferrari that FORZA MOTORSPORT 4 failed to put it on future DLCs! When will Forza 4 get the F12 berlinetta as a DLC? What about the BRZ? The Evoque? The 2012 Yaris SE? When will they get their shot of fame on Forza 4? Where's the Atom? The Ascari? The Caterham? Oliver the Opel Kadett? Veritas?

What? What is it?

That's the problem with DLCs. Previously on Forza 3, they did focused on the latest cars firsts with old cars later. But now in Forza 4, what they did is ruining the balance. It's now common to see old models being featured for the first time in Forza 4. Old cars like for instance the Alfa Romeo Montreal, the Austin Healey, the Alfa Romeo GTV-6, can Forza 4 focus on the latest and the hottest cars rather than featuring old ones? Anyway, forget about what I said and let's talk about the upcoming Porsche DLC pack. So far, they mentioned the #31 Petersen-White Lightning 911 GT3-RSR (996) and the 1970 Porsche 914/6, which are comebacks. Tomorrow, they'll announce another Porsches and will the Panamera be on the list? Oh gosh, I hope so but this is a road ahead till the Porsche DLC Pack's on sale date so stick around because this is going to be a month-long marathon of Porsche announcements on Forza 4. Stay tuned!

Anyway, I just picked up that what's serving on Namco Namja Town are some menu items inspired from animes like Bakemonogatari and Nisemonogatari. They'll be serving those by May 18 to July 8.

That's what they're serving, so what's your pick?

Mine, I'm not into these. I haven't been at this...NAMCO NAMJA TOWN yet.

Come on! This is much like Star City, even better. They did collaborations with Gintama, the opening of the Macross Frontier: Sayonara no Tsubasa film, the opening of the Fullmetal Alchemist: The Sacred Star of Milos film, the opening of The Prince of Tennis: Eikoku-shiki Teikyū-jō Kessen! film, the debut of Squid Girl Season 2, the premiere of the Persona 4 television anime series, The IDOLM@STER anime, the Tiger & Bunny anime, the K-ON! film, and for four different series for their "Spring Girls' Festival 2012" event. You haven't been there, right?

Never...Uh, anyway, THE AVENGERS. Anyone watched this movie, right? It's a team up between Iron Man, the Incredible Hulk, Thor, and Captain America, among many others from SHIELD. Somethings's a bit cocky after the closing credits. Who is the character at the final scene?


Some say that in the final scene after the closing credits, it served as a sign that says "TO BE CONTINUED".

Yep, they're planning what will the next Avengers movie will look like but while this sequel hasn't been told, they confirmed that "Iron Man 3" is slated for release less than a year from now on May 3, 2013.  "Thor 2" will follow on November 15, 2013, and "Captain America 2" is scheduled for April 4, 2014.

I see...

Anyway, about controversial DJ Mo Twister. A few days ago, Mo Twister asked all the listeners to make a trending topic out of the hashtag that says #CharicePempengcoSexTape. That topic enraged famed singer Charice and she tweeted Mo Twister that he should be getting a good lawyer. That tweet was later deleted but later Radio DJs Mo Twister (Mohan Gumatay), Suzy (Tin Gamboa) and Mia Bayuga of Magic 89.9 were suspended  two weeks for putting “an objectionable hashtag about Charice Pempengco on Twitter.”


So, what's what?

You see, there was a one part on a radio show called GOOD TIMES where DJ Mo Twister tell the listeners to make #charicepempengcosextape a trending topic. That thing was supposed to be a joke and a satire until this gone wrong when Charice noticed it. That made Charice so angry, she said that this is a STUPID CRUEL JOKE.

Okay, I got word from the mouth is that Japan faces 'extinction' in 1,000 years. How's that possible? Japanese researchers on Friday unveiled a population clock that showed the nation's people could theoretically become extinct in 1,000 years because of declining birth rates.

Oh come on. Japanese people are doing just fine...

Just fine? Why don't you ask DOCTOR WHO to time travel through Japan in the future and find out?

(laughing)

Uh...uh...uh...

I find it very disappointing that a many modern Japanese men has no interest of sex to women. It seems that modern Japanese men are now becoming feckless bed-wetting Parmesan-shaving imbecile who rebels into his own uselessness. Something has to be done. We need a MAN LAB! Something like James May's Man Lab, even better for the Japanese!

(laughing)

Uh okay. A Man Lab for the Japanese modern men. Sounds perfect! That then, Japanese people won't become "Endangered Species" for the next millennium!

Uh, anyway. About Rufa Mae Quinto. I got reports that after saying good-bye as host of  GMA 7’s “Showbiz Central” a few weeks back, she decided if she wants to give it a try as one of the presenters of Willie Revillame’s variety game show “Wil Time Bigtime.”

(ooohh)


Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Rufa Mae's joining the ranks as one of the Wil Time Bigtime presenters?! But...but...Ugh! I lost one of my Bubble Gang faves. I lost Wendell Ramos, who is now on Lokomoko U. I can't afford to lost another...

Let's put this sadness behind us and for something special because reports said that Fil-Mexican contestant on this season's American Idol, Jessica Sanchez, finally made it to the Top 3 spot!

(applause)


Wow! I never though that a contestant with Filipina blood make it this far! I never knew she can MAKE IT THIS FAR! I was wrong. She was now one of the best!

And that's the news!
