Right, we got a lot of stuff to tell today, starting with this. Even with a lot of financial woes, PSA Peugeot Citroen tries to be more competitive. They kept on saying "nous n'abandonnerons pas" by featuring new cars for this year's Paris Motor Show. Here's the new car from Peugeot, it's called the Onyx and this new supercar comes with a 680HP 3.7L diesel-hybrid combo. Sadly though, it's a concept car but is this somewhat their answer to the GTbyCitroen concept car?

Ahem. The GTbyCitroen concept car we saw four years ago comes with an electric motor that sounds like an airplane's taking off. This one though, this is a different level because of its diesel-hybrid combination. Cars like the Peugeot 3008 and the 508 do come with the diesel-hybrid combination that no other carmaker can match this kind of technology. First glance though, I think that diesels and hybrids became bitter rivals but...
Wait, you would think that diesels are more efficient and better to drive than hybrids but some say, diesels are tend to be dirty and prone to smoke belching.
That's just stereotype. But let's talk about that later when we left okay?
Right, there's another Peugeot and this time, it's the minor change of the Peugeot RCZ boasting with Peugeot's new design philosophy tracing back to the 508. Here's the pic of this facelifted RCZ...

(owwww)
Stunning. isn't it? Looks better than the BEFORE MC RCZ. It's no longer as creepy as a scary clown that made kids cry on their birthday parties or at amusement parks.
(audience laughing)
But wait! Aside from the RCZ minor change, they also made a concept version that is somewhat called the RCZ R or as I want to call it, the RCZ with the genes of the Onyx.
(audience laughing)

| 2012 Peugeot RCZ R Concept |
(wow)
No freaking way! That is my kind of RCZ!
What surprises this car that this 1.6L engine was co-developed by PSA Peugeot Citroen and BMW, so you would explain what the hell BMW's doing, and this produces about 260HP of power and 155g/km of CO2 emissions. You'll be amazed that this RCZ's getting even more scarier thanks to its performance.
Yeah. This is the best RCZ I've ever saw in my life.
(audience laughing)
Also from Peugeot, a compact crossover that will take on the Nissan Juke.
Wait, another crossover? Peugeot already has the 3008 and the 4008. What's that?
Ahem. This is the baby crossover for Peugeot but it's still a concept. Happily, they confirmed that it will be produced next year as a 2014 model. It's called the 2008.
(audience laughing)

| 2012 Peugeot 2008 concept |
Wait, 2008? Peugeot name this car after a year? As in...four years ago? 2008? The year the World Financial Crisis broke loose?
(audience laughing)
Well, whatever you may want to explain about the upcoming Peugeot 2008 but some say, this is a baby crossover that uses the Peugeot 208 compact as its basis, whatever the heck is.
So, what's the point? A French Juke rival? With an even more comedic face? You gotta tell....
(audience laughing)
Uh, Slow? Hey, is this going to be an answer to another baby crossover seen here, the Nissan TeRRA Concept?

Wha...?! No! The TeRRA is what happens when a Nissan Leaf's gone off-roady but the looks are a bit similar to another zero-emission concept car a few years ago, called the Esflow.
Oh, sorry about that. I mean these two kinda look like a bunch of jerks. It's like one of Joker's hench..
(audience laughing)
GRRRRR....Anyway, let's ignore about it anyway. Want scoop? Go to Paris! That's it! End of discussion.
(audience laughing)
Anyway, moving away from Paris Motor Show related stuff and into something else. I got news that the next volume of the Fate/stay night manga will be the finale. Some say, the Fate manga's 20th volume described as a series finale by retailer listing.
(awwww)
Uh...that bothered me to hear about that.
Wait. What it says here that the finale of the Fate/stay night manga will be go on sale by Kadokawa Shoten this November 22 for 588 yen.
Oh, that REALLY bothered me to hear that.
Me too...
(audience laughing)
Oh hey now! Bad news. This time, some MGS fan popped me around to see me and as we all know, we are expecting the hack-and-slash Metal Gear game starring Raiden in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance in early 2012. That game was originally intended to be on either the PS3 and the XBOX 360 but sadly, there's a sad news that the MGR video game will not be coming to the XBOX 360 console.
(huh?)
Wait? Metal Gear Rising will no longer be offered on the XBOX 360? But why?
No explanation but probably because of the poor sales of the XBOX 360 consoles in Japan.
But...XBOX 360 here in Japan fared a bit well thanks to games like Forza, Halo, or even THE IDOLM@STER, but how come they cancelled the XBOX 360 version of MGR due to the console's poor sales here?
There's a case. You know that Metal Gear Solid HD Edition last year? The PS3 version sold very well while the XBOX 360 version was a slump. Same case for the Silent Hill HD Edition; which only has 2 and 3 remastered. In Japan, only the PS3 version was offered.
No XBOX 360 version offered?
Nope. Nothing.
(audience laughing)
Oh hey now. those otakus who have Android smartphones may have noticed that there was a virus that once infected, may lure them to a topless Naruko "Anaru" Anjo.
Scoop: http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2012/09/10/android-malware-lures-otaku-with-anohanas-anaru
REALLY?!
Yeah. It was an android virus that lures them to a trap. A trap that leads you to Anohana's Anaru that those who got infected to this virus lets them use the touchscreen to manipulate Anaru's body.
Whoa!
But, it might steal your contact data from your Android phone. This was called the Android Maistealer virus. This Trojan virus that once affected, steals info from Android phones.
Don't worry. This trojan app is not available on Google play and for a top tip; keep your Android phones secured, even against Trojan apps containing topless anime chicks.
(audience laughing)
Can't believe that Anohana's Anaru is too attractive to have criminals use her as a virus. (luaghing)
Anyway, that's the news and let's look at Apple's latest version of the iPhone, now called iPhone 5 after years of speculations.
 |
| iPhone 5 |
Looks the same as the previous 4S but Apple claims that this new model is now 18% thinner, 20% lighter, and now 20% less volume. This one's went for a diet or downsizing perhaps?
Yeah, with all that downsizing comes with a huge surprise. 4-inch retina display, 4G LTE support, new A6 chip for faster CPU performance, faster graphics, and better battery life, new EarPods accessory, iSight camera...
...and now there's a new connector we can't understand what that is. The 30-pin connector we all know from the past iPod devices has been ditched and now replaced with the all new Lightning connector. Apple says that this new Lightning connector comes with the all-digital, eight-signal design that is more durable than the 30-pin connector....
...and for good news, the Lightning connector is backwards compatible. Most iPhone accessories from the future will now be depending on the Lightning adapter but for those who have older iPhone, iPod, and iPad devices that depend on the 30-pin adapter, have no fear because Apple's working on the 30-pin adapter for use on the Lightning connector.
A Lightning to 30-pin adapter? This is about as convenient as a travel socket converter that turns 110V to 220V or back. Sadly, this accessory will cost more to link iPhone 5 to old gadgets.
(audience laughing)
Also, the Google maps has now been ditched and replace to maps designed by Apple and also, Siri understands more.
It's all because of its new iOS 6 operating system. Anyway, the new iPhone 5 will go on sale this September 21 and initial countries, the first countries to get this new generation iPhone are; the USA (the home country for the new iPhone), Canada, Great Britain, France, Germany, Australia, Japan, Hong Kong, and Singapore. Other countries may follow shortly.
More info: http://www.apple.com/iphone/
That's great and it starts at $199. To shop, go to http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_iphone/family/iphone
I think we'll cover more about this on it's on-sale date but let's spend some time looking at this new car we've encounter on Car Town.
 |
| 2012 Acura TL |
Yes, this is the all new 2012 Acura TL. For that 2012 model year, this facelifted version of the fourth-generation Acura TL revised the controversial "beak" insert which adorned Acura cars for years and then, it now has a 6-speed automatic transmission for better performance and fuel economy. Still has the same 3.5L engine and the 3.7L V6 engine with added SH-AWD. If you want one in Car Town, best to do it now because LIMITED STOCKS only. Once it's sold out, it's gone and you have to wait 'till you have a shot at the docks to get one.
