What news?
It's the Porsche Panamera. They've launched a luxurious version called the Platinum Edition, which applies on the basic V6 and V6 AWD versions of the Panamera. Also, it comes with platinum silver metallic touches on the side-view mirrors, on the specially designed grill, trimming on the trunk lid and the rear diffuser.

Ugh...again. Don't like the Panamera. It looks ugly and complicated...
(audience laughing)
Never mind then. Let's move on to Opel or Vauxhall because they've have launched a convertible spin-off of the Astra and it's called the Cascada. Opel's answer to the Volkswagen Eos.

(wow)
What to expect on the all new Cascada is a cloth convertible top that retracts in 17 seconds and at speeds up to 50 km/h (31 mph). The Cascada features a 1.4-liter turbo gas engine, 2.0-liter turbodiesel with 165 horsepower and a range-topping 1.6-liter turbocharged Ecotec engine that puts out 170 horsepower and 280 Nm (207 lb-ft). Power is sent through either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission. Also, it should be on sale next year, which is perfect for the coming Spring...
Wow, that is a good looking Opel convertible. Much better than the Eos or the Lancia Flavia but this is somewhat an Opel Astra with the roof off I'm afraid.
What? What's so bad about it?
I tell you what. If you were a supermodel, this is the kind of car that she'll drive because they both share one common interest: SEXY. Much like you call her SEXY. Run Sexy!
(audience laughing)
Seriously, WTF?
Of course, I want a girl that I want to call her Sexy...
...Unless if that girl is the TARDIS from a Doctor Who episode...Idris...TARDIS...calling her Sexy...
(audience laughing hysterically)
Shhhh....Enough now. Listen up. The Corvette's going to be regenerated next year and the seventh incarnation will be shown at 2013 Detroit Motor Show. Not much info about the regenerated model now but we do know that the seventh Corvette will gain a new logo. Here it is...

This is the new logo...Are you ready?
You'll find out soon as long as you're done listening to the song ♫Looks Like We Made It...♫
(audience laughing)
♫Left each other on the way to another
Looks like we made it
Or I thought so till today
Until you were there everywhere
And all I could taste was love the way we made it♫
Hey! What happened to Dave? Dave didn't make it. Dave drove a Ford...
(audience laughing)
Hah? Anyway, while we're diddling about that now, let's move on to the Mitsubishi RVR because as I'm sure you know that every Japanese motoring geeks are waiting if the 2013 model RVR, the one we saw at New York a couple of months earlier, is coming to Japan and here it is...

Ladies and gentlemen, or should I say minna-san! 2013 Mitsubishi RVR is here!
Yeah, really. This is the 2013 RVR (known in other markets as the ASX or Outlander Sport). The front grille and the front bumper's changed, Mitsubishi Multi Communication System as optional even though the optional sat-nav's changed, Drive Mode Selector is now a push button, 1.8L MIVEC engine, INVECS-III 6-speed Sport Mode CVT, and JC08 fuel economy stat of 15.8km/L. You get me? You get me? You do get me? You get me now? Good...
(audience laughing)
Of course, Jezza. They do got you.
Yeah. Speaking of which...next week's going to be busy for you...
That's right because on Monday, 9/8C on BBC America, it's Richard Hammond's Crash Course Season 2 where on this season, Richard Hammond takes on America's dirtiest jobs...
Like what?
Cattle rancher, taxi driver, stuntman, barber, every other job in America that Hammo faces and Season 2 promises to be more dirtier than the first season of Crash Course. You get me? You get me? You do get me? Good.
(audience laughing)
Great news!
Huh?
No wait. Some news. Peugeot is back in Manila courtesy of the same guy behind Kia.
Which is...Columbian Autocar Corporation...Felix Mabilog Jr.
Exactly. Peugeot's back in the Philippines thanks to its new distributor, Eurobrands Distributor Inc. And their offerings will be diesel-powered Pugs such as the 5008 MPV, 3008 crossover, and the 508 sedan. The only petrol-powered Pug in their lineup was the RCZ sport coupe.
A couple of years ago, Peugeot landed in the Philippines in the 2000's by some distributor called AutoFrance Philippines which was run by the Richard Lee-owned Universal Motors Corporation and Viking Cars Inc. but sadly, Peugeot closed its doors to the Philippines because of poor sales but now, with the new distributor, they want this brand to be a fighting stance to the Philippine market. That puzzles me...What about the owners of old Peugeots sold during the AutoFrance era? I mean since AutoFrance's defunct, Pinoy Peugeot owners are left without manufacturer-supported means of after-sales service.
Don't worry though. Once new Peugeot dealerships are opened by the year end, they'll be servicing old Peugeots as well...even the smuggled ones...
