Let's Do The News (April 8, 2012)


Glitterfy.com - Easter Glitter Graphics


Happy easter, everyone! So, how's the long weekend? Anything discovered you want me to asked? If so, let's do the news, folks!

Right, and let's start with an obituary to the creator of the original Porsche 911. Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, grandson of Porsche founder Ferdinand Porsche, and the designer behind the first generation of the iconic Porsche 911, passed away on Thursday at the age of 76.


Very sad for Porsche fans from around the world to mourn the passing of the 911's creator. It's very sad for us to see one of the legendary faces passed away but the legacy lives on.


Oh! Haven't you heard? Production of the BMW 1M Coupe has come to an end! This was announced by Karl Magsuci, marketing manager for BMW's authorized distributor in the Philippines, Asian Carmakers Corporation, at the recenly concluded Manila International Auto Show (MIAS).


Oh, how sad for us! Sorry to see the BMW 1M Coupe came to an end but still it was the best car while it lasted but don't worry, there's something to cheer us up because...

THE VIPER RETURNS!

(applause)


That's right, folks! The Viper returns on the new name, SRT Viper. Nope, not the Dodge Viper SRT10 but it's now SRT Viper. It still packs the 8.4L V10 engine but with the triple-digit weight loss, this now has a better power-to-weight ratio than the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 or the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1! 

No wait, better power-to-weight ratio than the Lamborghini Aventador? Oh wow! That snake really bit my favorite car! Ho ho ho ho!


For a bigger treat, it's coming soon on Forza Motorsport 4 via DLC on the second half of this year! This will pack the 2013 SRT Viper and an Autovista feature where you'll learn more about Viper heritage and what's what about the SRT Viper.


Well, it's a long time before the SRT Viper arrives on Forza 4 but for an alternative, I have found a way to indulge with the new SRT Viper. That's CAR TOWN


Because it's Viper Week on CAR TOWN, it seems that this Facebook game will returning every single Dodge Viper for a limited time and this is the first to feature the all new SRT Viper. Yep. CAR TOWN was the first to feature the SRT Viper but it has a limited inventory so get it while you can.

Excuse me, CAR TOWN has the new 2013 SRT Viper? Wow, I'll pass and wait for Forza 4's Viper Pack soon.

(laughing)

Anyway, the New York Auto Show occurred now and up until April 15. So, what's what you saw on that venue?

1) Acura RLX Concept - Acura imagines what would their RL replacement would look like if it went to production next year. Could this be the next Honda Legend?


2) BMW X1 minor change - It maybe a minor change but it's coming for the first time in the USA soon.


3) Buick Enclave minor change - This facelifted version is now an enlarged Encore


4) Cadillac SRX minor change - although some subtle changes in the front, we'd expect that it now comes with Cadillac's CUE infotainment system.


5) 2014 Chevrolet Impala - So, the Impala now getting its full model change and it will go on sale next year, with this new face? Wowies...


6) 2013 Chevrolet Traverse minor change


7) Dodge Dart Rallycross - Looks like the Dodge Dart is ready for some rallying! Woo hoo!


8) Fisker Atlantic - It's a new kind of an electric sports sedan that what would expect since the Karma.


9) 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe - Remember, the new Santa Fe is coming in Korea in April but will they have the LWB version? The Santa Fe now has two body styles; a normal version that accommodates 5-people while the LWB accommodates 7-people.  Hopefully, those two body styles should come in South Korea soon. Hopefully, don't smuggle those unless HARI got those.


10) Infiniti LE Concept - Infiniti imagines their electric luxury midsize sedan...


11) Mitsubishi RVR minor change - So, will this facelifted RVR would come in Japan soon?


...and more with that came from but we can't explain more because we're running out of time. That's the news!
