THE RUDE PASSENGER

The Rude Passenger

Breaking news, folks! Breaking news! I watched some video from a Facebook page that belongs to someone named Gregory Paulo Llamoso. It goes like this...

"I was about to leave Santolan LRT 2 Station sa may Marcos Highway kanina, but a loud voice caught my attention and all the people present there, ang lakas ng boses niya even she was small..Buti nalang the Lady Guard exhibited the right behavior. She did not fight back and she just kept cool and said her sorry. She didn’t even utter foul words against the bully passenger. I dont know the side of the story but some Bystander told me na sinita siya ng Lady Guard kasi mali ang pinasukan niyang way but the passengers behavior surprised me, sobrang degrading naman yung ginawa niya sa Lady Guard her arrogance and misplaced sense is aliving proof that being a true woman requires more than just privileged education and breeding parang siya ang walang pinag-aralan in that case sayang hindi ko alam school niya., pinuntahan ko nalang yung Head ng security and suggested na dalhin sa office yung babaeng nagwawala hindi in public, nagkaroon tuloy ng Scandal dun na really an unacceptable behavior...I don't care how this incident started, nobody has the right to treat another person--especially one who's merely performing a low-paying job just to put food on the table--this way.


GUSTO KO SANA IPADALA SA TV PATROL/24 ORAS hehe"

How rude for someone who yells at a female security guard...

Let's Do The News! (November 14, 2012)

So, you had to admit that neither of these crossovers are good, right?

Kind of. The new Mitsubishi Outlander's a bit suitable for an average salaryman while the new Forester is kinda made for the outdoorsman. However, choosing which of these two crossovers is my pick is not easy. I mean look at it...

2013 Subaru Forester

2013 Mitsubishi Outlander

It's Free Willy vs. the ninja turtle...

(audience laughing)

Get it?

Yeah, I do get it now. I said that a few weeks ago...

Right, the news and with the announcement of the all new Forester, Subaru announced a new special edition model for the 2013MY Legacy range, which were tuned by STi.

2013 Subaru Legacy Touring Wagon tS

So, the tS special model is back for a limited time only, eh?

Exactly, all of the STi peripherals, the suspension, the steering, as well as the speedo that converts from the JDM norm 180kmh to 260kmh, they're all equipped on this STi-tuned variants of the Touring Wagon and the B4.

Scoop: http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/11/subaru-launches-new-limited-edition.html

Ahem, tell you what, I've been annoyed by some particular moron asking what is a top speed of some Japanese minivan and tell you what? YOU CAN'T MEASURE A JAPANESE CAR'S TOP SPEED YOU...SPEEDO BOY!

(audience laughing)

What are you talking about?

You see, in Japan, all Japanese-made cars have speedos that read up to 180kph. I'm not sure why but it's the Japanese government's policy. This also applies on some JDM sportscars in the 90's like for instance the Silvia, the Skyline, the Supra, the GTO (Mitsubishi), any 90's JDM cars you know. They do have the same problem. It's the 180kph speedo that sends JDM enthusiasts to an outrage.

You know that there are some Japanese cars that had an exception to the 180kph policy, like the Lexus, which is the luxury brand of Toyota Motor Corporation. Their cars used to have speedos that read up to 180kph but with some dramatic policy changes, the cars from Lexus had their speedos updated to either from either 220, 240, up to 260kph. The CT has a speedo that reads up to 220kph, the new GS we looked that up since January reads up to 260kph, the RX has a speedo reads up to 240kph.

Oh....

You know what other Japanese cars that were exempted to the 180kph regulation?

What is it Slow?

Lancer Evo. X - speedo reads up to 300kph. Mirage - made in Thailand, speedo reads up to 200kph. Nissan GT-R - speedo reads up to 340kph. There's more...or rather less...

Anything else?

I'll look that up...

(audience laughing)

Better move on to the next one because Captain Slow's slow at researching stuff. Anyway, for the first time ever, the Motor Trend 2013 Car of the Year is the Tesla Model S.

Tesla Model S

No kidding! This electric sports sedan silently won the 2013 Car of the Year according to Motor Trend! So, any takers?

(audience murmuring)

Guess they're not talking...

Uh....I do...

(audience laughing)

Not now James! No time for you to blabber yourself because you're a waste of time!

(audience laughing)

Uh, hey now, did you watched the Top Gear 50 Years of Bond Cars special on BBC America?

Yes, indeed! But most memorable moment on the episode was this!

Most memorable moment ever, and hey, it's even better than making an invisible van using nothing but TV sets and some stuff...

Yeah, I know. But still, a James Bond-style submarine Lotus is more than enough to celebrate James Bond's 50th anniversary!

Yeah....Oh! Hey now, you know the upcoming BBC Children in Need 2012? Guess what? In this event, they're going to air the prologue to the upcoming Doctor Who 2012 Christmas Special, which will be airing this Christmas Day.

A prologue? Prequel?

Yeah, it's a one-off scene made for this year's Children in Need event and they're going to air the teaser trailer after this. Who's excited?

(audience murmuring)

They're all excited and oh, got some memo for the big moment...says here that in the Christmas special, The Doctor (Matt Smith) will meet up with an old ally.

Huh?

I read that on the official Doctor Who tumblr page...says here...

"Welcome The Doctor (Matt Smith) and his newest companion (played by Jenna Louise-Coleman) as the two cross paths with the homoreptilian Silurian Madame Vastra (Neve McIntosh) and her cohort Jenny (Catrin Stewart)."

Wait a minute...Madame Vastra? And her cohort Jenny? Wasn't that from the episode called A Good Man Goes To War, the one when The Doctor assembles his own team of some sorts to rescue Amy Pond?

Yes. Seems that they're back on that Christmas episode. Speaking of which, Jenna Louise Coleman, the actress you've been longing for because of souffle girl...

(audience laughing)

...is there. Hopefully, better start finding the best souffle recipes, James...Start looking for some delicious souffle recipes and then EGGS-STIR-MIN-ATE...

(audience laughing)

Hey now. There's going to be a sequel from the 2009 movie, Nativity and as I heard, David Tennant, who was the 10th Doctor from Christmas Day 2005 to New Year's Day 2010, was going to replace Martin Freeman, who was Dr. John Watson in BBC's Sherlock for the sequel. However, as I read through the BBC Anglophenia page, I find something really juicy, you know what I mean?

What juicy, Jezza?

It's this...

"As we know, Freeman is tied up with Shelock and The Hobbit. While he will be missed, we welcome Tennant to take on the dual-role as the unsuspecting teacher Mr. Peterson who, with his class, goes up against his golden boy twin brother (also played by Tennant) in the primary school ‘Song for Christmas’ competition. Mr. Peterson isn’t alone in his quest with his lovely wife, played by Gavin and Stacey’s Joanna Page, in his corner. As well, the delightful and hilarious Marc Wooton (Nativity) makes his return as the good hearted but sometimes menacing teaching assistant Mr. Poppy."

See anything wrong?

Uh...Is it because Dr. John Watson being replaced by the 10th Doctor for Nativity 2: Danger in the Manger?

No. Look closely, Hammo...

Uh....

Look closely and look...

Uh...What is it?

Read: "As we know, Freeman is tied up with Shelock and The Hobbit."

Oh....

See? Typo errors! Someone forgot the letter R in the name! Who's that? Shelock? Shelock Holmes?

(audience laughing)

This is what I found on tumblr about that typo in the Nativity II post:

"You don’t know Shelock? Shelock Holmes and Docto John Watson? The fist two seies ae about his epic battle against Moiaty. It’s a geat show. Wee huge fans of Shelock."

Thanks for the heads up

(audience laughing)

Seems that BBC America's Anglophenia page got some misspelling fail. Ha ha ha...

Yeah, who knows they wee wong...(laughing)

(audience laughing)

Ahem...enough of the laughter regarding Anglophenia spelling problems. Time to get serious...

What?

Tomorrow, I'm going to the 2012-2013 Seattle Auto Show at CenturyLink Field, which will run tomorrow up until Sunday.

Why?

The latest and hottest cars are featured. I go there every year...

Oh...okay...

Wanna go?

Oh, sorry fat guy. My hands are full...

Subaru Forester Fourth Generation (SJ)

2013 Subaru Forester

Hard to admit it that the 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander we looked that last month really do like Free Willy in a big way but now Subaru pulled out their trump card by regenerating their crossover, the Forester, to a whole new level. Nice new look, looks better than the new Outlander in every tangible way. Also, the new, fourth generation Forester, has something that the new Outlander had; the added grunt.

The new Mitsubishi Outlander has a choice of a 2.0L engine and a 2.4L engine. This new Subaru Forester has two engine types; a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine called the FB20 and the brand new FA20 DIT engine first seen on the facelifted 2013 Legacy...

It's Subaru's first SUV to have EyeSight version 2 safety system that has a feature that automatically brakes in a near-collision situation...

FB20 models come with either a 6-speed MT or improved Lineartronic CVT while FA20 DIT variants known as the 2.0XT come exclusively with a CVT nonsense, just like the Legacy...

And it's served with Symmetrical AWD...

2013 Subaru Forester interior

So, how did Subaru invested just to regenerate the Forester to a totally different crossover that feels a bit civilized? Well, when you think about it, this new Forester doesn't seem to be so half-bad but sadly there's no soul, there's no heart, and it's not that all desperately impractical. Look at the interior for instance, it seems that it's straight from the Impreza, just like the previous model which has the familiar interior. Although I may think that this is is the bulkier brother of the Impreza, the Forester seems to work if you're a soccer mom taking her kids to school, then went out for grocery shopping, and for work, and lots of stuff. However, because this is the new model, I think that Subaru tries to shrug off the soccer mom image but no. It's still a soccer mom car pumped up.

A new Forester with the FB20 engine mated to a 6-speed MT would be fine but it isn't a serious car, it doesn't have much sense to use it on an everyday but for the one with the FB20 mated to a Lineartronic CVT, that's made for everyday use. CVT's are made for better fuel economy and smooth riding but it has the canal boat-like feeling every time when you floor it. If you have the same thought on the 2.0XT model, which the exterior can be differentiated by a shouty front face, I'd guess I'd basically plug my ears with headphones rather than hearing the canal boat sounds of the CVT mode or if I switch the Lineartronic CVT in 6-speed manual mode, it wasn't so bad. It doesn't feel like a Justy of yesteryears and it doesn't always hum to the sound of Chicago's Saturday in the Park.

Here's the thing, if you're careful, the new Forester with the FB20 engine and idling stop combined will get you up to 15.2kmpl of fuel consumption. The fuel consumption of the Forester 2.0XT (the one with the FA20 DIT engine on it) though, will be approximately 13.2kmpl. Hang on a minute, a 15.2kmpl on the new Forester with the FB20 engine and idling stop is about the same as the fuel economy of the new Mitsubishi Outlander's 2.0L engine with AS&G feature.

2013 Subaru Forester

It's still a crossover made for the outdoorsmen. You can drive it offroad and you can make it dirty thanks to its SYMMETRICAL AWD that adorned most Subarus for years but now, there's a new feature which is a first for this new model. It's the X-MODE system and this new feature enhances the stability of the new Forester in tough terrain. Whether if you're on gravel, sand, or snow, the X-MODE lets the engine, transmission, and VDC controlled cooperatively and with the X-MODE's hill descent control, it can maintain the same speed while driving down a steep hill.

Pricing? The new Forester will cost you about 2,089,500 Yen, that's cheaper than the new Outlander and that makes it a great value. Wait, hang on a minute....did I say...that's 337,500 Yen less than the new Outlander? Spoilers! But still, it's not the River Song type of spoilers, this is the bargain of the holiday season. With that affordability, I think this is the best choice for those who can't afford the new Outlander.

Better still, this crossover is all about being a somebody rather than a nobody...

Forza Horizon: Honoring America's Heroes

Let Battle Commence...

Now I had to admit it that I am very lucky to drive America's most powerful car and oh, sorry, that position used to belong to the Corvette C6 ZR1 because now, the title holder of being America's most powerful car or the most powerful V8 car in the world is now the 2013 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500.

Question, why the 2013 Shelby GT500 is now America's most powerful car rather than the ZR1 and the SRT Viper combined. The secret of this sheer success is Ford's brand new 5.8L Trinity V8 engine with added supercharger. This resulted the power output of 662HP and 631 lb.-ft. of torque. These numbers don't lie you know. This is real. It's SAE-certified and it's powerful not just it's rival, the Chevy Camaro ZL1, but also the Corvette ZR1 and the SRT Viper GTS. It's really America's most powerful and you will all bow down to the Blue Oval. Yeah, bow down to the might of the Blue Oval because....well, you get the idea.

Tell you what though, thanks to this 662HP power output to the GT500's 5.8L supercharged V8 engine, this will sure enough to convert Camaro fans to Mustang fans...because thanks to the 2013 Mustang GT500, the theory of "Mustangs are better than Camaros" became fruition...well, almost. Ugh...I know that the 2013 GT500 proves that Mustangs are better than Camaros but why does most Camaros are popular than this? Never mind, but still, I'm more than happy to meet up with America's most powerful car.

To conclude, I have to clips of Horizon-ness starring the 2013 GT500 and the Corvette C6 ZR1. Get ready with your spanners...

2014 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Roadster

Lamborghini finally unveiled the roadster version of the flagship V12 hypercar, the Aventador LP700-4, and I'm delighted to say, the lunacy's back. You know that this roadster version is a hundred kilograms heavier than the coupe but it doesn't matter. With the roof open, I got a million miles of headroom, 700PS of power and the sound that makes Ami and Mami Futami very angry....Oops...

Just as I thought, it couldn't get even stupider. I think that this is somewhat a softened road-going version of the SLS AMG GT3 racer but with the added power on the old 6.2L V8 engine, the new SLS AMG Black Series is all about yelling in front of other people. This is what happens when a Gullwinged moron took so much performance enhancements or steroids to look like a freak in a freak show...Pity...

TG's Jeremy Clarkson lashes out against the official TG twitter during a two-minute silence

"Astonishingly stupid" Jezza said...

The entire Great Britain had a two-minute silence to honor those who died at the war until the official BBC Top Gear twitter unexpectedly twitted the most watched vid on Top Gear last week, regarding the magazine's Pan-American race between the Bentley and a train. Others called it "insensitive" while TG host and my residential moron Jeremy Clarkson called it "absolutely stupid".

Furthermore, BBC issued an apology:

BBC Worldwide profusely apologises for the automated tweet that coincided with this morning’s two minute silence to honour our Armed Forces. Our social media team will put measures in place to ensure something like this is never repeated.

Anyway, if it's Monday in the USA, get ready because it will be the North American premiere of a new Top Gear special hosted by Richard Hammond. It's called 50 Years of Bond Cars and he pays tribute to the Bond cars and he even made a James Bond-style submarine Lotus.

Volkswagen Golf VII

Nur wer die Menschen kennt, kann das Auto bauen.

2013 Volkswagen Golf

2013 Volkswagen Golf

For almost four decades and for six generations, the Volkswagen Golf is one of the key vehicles of the Volkswagen lineup and as of 31st July 2012 - exactly 29.13 million units sold since 1974, the Volkswagen Golf, is one of the most successful motorcars in the world. Now though, with its seventh incarnation, a new chapter of the Golf storyline is about to begin, like a new chapter for a big movie.

As I speak, this is the first new model to incorporate Volkswagen Group's new MQB platform, a new generation platform that allows access to new powertrains and technologies, including innovations in the areas of safety and infotainment, which until now were reserved for vehicles in higher segments. This new platform was currently on the latest version of the Audi A3, and the upcoming Seat Leon and hopefully, this new platform will be applied in future models the Volkswagen Group's been diddling about.

As a car made for people by people, the Golf is a well-civilized vehicle that targets any age demographic. It doesn't matter if you're 20's, 30's, middle-aged, senior, or whatever. This is the other people's car since The Beetle and this is not just a car, it's a religion of some sorts and this new model is on the whole new testimony for the next generation of Golf owners.

For this new model, it's now 56mm longer than the previous incarnation. Even the wheelbase is longer, making it possible to accommodate more interior space. The enhanced dimensions of the new Golf courtesy of the MQB platform generates 0.27cD of drag coefficient. About as similar as using a hair blower on your face.

Even though the new chassis is proven a worthy contender, there's one thing I'm not particularly fond of and it was the new Golf's look. Even though this was the improvement of Walter de Silva's VW design DNA, this new look kinda looks like some pensioner who lives in a retirement home in Yorkshire. Yes, it looks like a senior aged retiree who is wearing bicycling outfits and that looks a bit...well, corny. However, when you get inside the interior, this is far more different from conventional VW interiors of other models.

2013 Volkswagen Golf interior

I wouldn't say much about the interior but it seems that not only the new chassis made it lighter, the inside did take some SENSA and a bit of Zumba, therefore most of its components like the dashboard, module, air conditioning, seats, and others also contributed to the almost 40kg of weight loss to the superstructure. That's an amazing achievement here but what about the engine types offered on the new Golf that had been taken too much SENSA and Zumba?

We're expecting a 1.2L TSI, 1.4TSI, 1.6 TDI, and 2.0 TDi engines, each with different characteristics and specs that affects the Golf's behavior. Either way, they can be fitted with either a 5-speed manual, a 6-speed manual, or the DSG Doppelkupplungsgetriebe for quicker shifting than manuals, well this is just only a hunch. Most of the engines come with BlueMotion Technology that promises to be economical and yes, it do come with the feature that shuts the engine off when you stopped at the red light and then start again when you set off. Idling stop for short. That's what I'm saying.

The one with the 1.6 TDi engine is the efficient of the range with 3.8L/100km of fuel economy while the one with the 2.0 TDi engine is the most powerful Golf in the range with top speed of 216kph. It all seems fine but next year, the seventh Golf will be having high performance versions, especially the one that we're not going to mention it because of search engine issues. You get me?

Besides, with Ayala Corporation is now the OFFICIAL distributor of Volkswagen in the Philippines, I really had my fingers crossed that this new seventh-generation Golf will be on their portfolio. This car is on sale in Germany for 16,975 Euros for the entry-level version while next year, it will arrive in other parts of the world such as North America, Middle East, and Asia. Because the fact that China is one of VW's biggest customers, I think that the new Golf VII would get some high stakes here.

Oh and one more thing...they're available in 3-door and 5-door. Thanks...

Forza Horizon: This is the all new BMW M6. Period.

A grand tourer made for the well-sophisticated bachelor

So, here I am, playing a game of Forza Horizon, talking about the all new BMW M6 (F13) that was featured on this game. Yep, this is the first time they've featured this latest M6! No one bravely does. This is the only video game in the world for you to taste the all new BMW M6 F13 Coupe.

Anyway, about the all new BMW M6, this new model is getting a bit more tamed than wild because for starters, the glorious V10 engine was been thrown away and replaced by a 4.4L twin-turbo V8 engine from the BMW M5 F10. It seems that downsizing is now a trend of today because of strict emission regulations but despite that, all that downsizing leads to bigger power. The old V10 of the M6 E63 has almost 500HP of power, this 4.4L V8 engine with turbos on the new M6 F13 though, has 552HP of power. That's a lot of power and more torques. A lot more torques. And it's quick!

With all that new features, especially the carbon-fiber roof, is the all new BMW M6 compromised some of its thrills in favor of being a well-mannered grand tourer in running shoes? I think it's a big no because even though it's a grand tourer, the new BMW M6 sure knows how to dance. It maybe challenging at first but when you get the hang of it, my oh my, it's a deserving one.

Nice job on that treasure hunt!

I like this one better than the new Bentley Continental GT or the Jaguar XKR-S but I think it's better than almost anyone. It's a soon-to-be-a-classic BMW in the making, turning the heads of almost any driver who sets foot on this one and it's impossible to think what's next to this new model. I've been waited for this moment to come.

Forza Horizon: The New Bentley Continental GT

A spectacular combo between a geyser and a Bentley

This is another one of the cars that are new in the world of Forza and this is rather different than what you've expect to be. What this is is the new Bentley Continental GT, a grand tourer from Crewe, redefined for the next generation.

A grand touring epic masterpiece

Being one of the most advanced grand tourers in the world, the Bentley Continental GT is a bit half-cocked and pretty dry when you take it for a spin. It maybe bulky than other grand tourers in Horizon and maybe a bit overpowered by its 6.0L W12 engine but when you get it right, the new Continental GT sure knows how to make better obligations against your rivals. Also, thanks to its advanced all-wheel-drive systems, ensuring that all the power the 12-cylinder engine generates is utilized, that makes it perfect when you play a game of king or infected. I once tried one and I gotta say that its 4WD layout really knows how to outturn and outrun any kind of A-class car in a playground game of their choosing.

I really like this, even though it looks the same as the old Continental GT from my other game. An epic grand touring masterpiece like this is truly one of the reasons why the new Continental GT loves to do a little soul searching in Colorado but on the downside, it's somewhat not quite as good as the all new BMW M6 F13 that I'm tackling soon. It may have more power but it's heavier. Period.

Forza Horizon: The star of the show!

The Star of Horizon is here!

Allons-y! As I knew, the all new 2013 SRT Viper GTS is the hero car of Forza Horizon. Reason why this is the hero car of Horizon? It's in the cover, get it? In the front cover!

Anyway, the reason why they picked the SRT Viper GTS is because the producers said that this car's a fitting take to the roads of Colorado. With legendary Forza DNA in free roam driving and incredibly fluidic graphics, it seems that this car never felt so alive. It really has the soul in motion within.

It's also BAD TO THE BONE because with the 8.4L V10 engine that generates 640HP, 0-60 in 3.3 seconds, and 220 mph top speed, the SRT Viper is one heck of a brutal sportscar which is great for show-offs. 

Overpowered, great on straight lines, dynamic and challenging handling, that's how I like most about the SRT Viper and this hero car is all about being the hero of the Horizon Festival.
