There was another Alpha Beth episode on the January 21 episode of Banana Split!
In the beginning, there was a hired killer trying to kill a man. A man yells some help because, SHE WAS GOING TO KILL HIM!
BRING IN ALPHA BETH!
The word is "Kill" and the solution; replace two L's with two S's and the word should be "Kiss"!
Problem solved!
I almost forgot! Kuya Art, the Art Throb is here and he taught us how to make binoculars with the use of two toilet paper rolls. Eh, what?

Goodbye Daewoo, Hello Chevrolet
What a shocker! When GM Daewoo CEO, Mike Arcamone , announced the Chevrolet brand in last years Busan International Motor Show, he's not joking, this is the real deal!
Scoop (Korean):
 |
| 2012 Chevrolet Sonic (coming late 2011) |
 |
| 2010 Chevrolet Camaro Transformers edition |
Officially official! The historic American brand behind the Camaro and Corvette (and also the Volt) is coming to the land of favorite Korean dramas, replacing the Daewoo nameplate once and for all! Cars like the upcoming Sonic sedan and hatch and the Camaro, are coming to South Korea this early 2011! Other cars which are GM Daewoo Lacetti Premiere and the Matiz Creative will be renamed as Chevrole tCruze and the Chevrolet Spark. The not-for-USA Chevrolet Orlando may come in South Korea too and built it here!
It is an unfair truth that the U.S.A. may not get the Orlando MPV, the Cruze Hatchback, and the Captiva's Minor Change but only the Sonic sedan and hatch may come in the U.S. this Autumn.
From now on, GM Daewoo Auto and Technology will be known as GM Korea Company. There will be eight Chevrolet models coming to South Korea including Camaro, Orlando, Sonic, the minor change Captiva, Cruze hatchback, and a new sedan replacing the Daewoo Tosca.
Now what?! Can these new ones come to the Philippines too? Remember, we already got the Camaro, and the Cruze sedan. Now we are waiting for the Orlando MPV, the Captiva's face lift, the Cruze hatchback, and the Sonic.
I hope that TCCCI got that memo...
Nissan Murano Z51 Facelift
What an unbelievable stroke of unluckiness among Filipino owners of the Nissan Murano Z51, launched in the Philippine market last year, because this Kanagawa-based car maker has pulled the wraps of the Nissan Murano Z51's minor change, and we are disappointed that Japan now has the latest revision of the Nissan Murano Z51 just like from Europe and in the North America.
The Nissan Murano Z51 was launched in Japan since September 2008 and it was the crossover that gave birth to the Nissan Premium Factory range, a range consisting the finest luxury Nissan models such as the Fairlady Z Z34, Fuga Y51, Skyline V36, and the Elgrand E52. The Murano Z51 is now mildly redesigned to appeal the wealthy buyers who are experiencing more than just LA-Z-BOY recliners and bottomless iced teas. This crossover is at the center of its business-class stage because of its sports car-like performance and luxury car-like conveniences.
The Nissan Murano Z51's face-lift features a redesigned grille, aggressive headlamps, new aggressive front bumper, and sporty rear lamps that provides exceptional elegance for the Z51's minor facelift.
Nothing's different about the interior because the Nissan Murano Z51 face-lift remains the interior but there is a slight change on the fine vision meters. The Nissan Murano Z51 offers BOSE Sound System for top-class sound quality executives love to listen to. It offers a dual sunroof for a breezing atmosphere while an executive tries to read a book in a middle of a heavy traffic. A Mild Flow System is equipped for enhanced air-conditioning inside the Murano Z51. This is somewhat good to cool down while taking a trip through EDSA.
The Nissan Murano Z51 offers two distinctive engine types to choose from; a flagship VQ35DE (3.5L V6) engine, which produces a power output of 260PS/6000rpm and the fuel economy of 9.3km/L (4WD), and the entry level QR25DE (2.5L) engine, which produces 170PS of power output and the fuel economy of 11.6km/L (2WD). This crossover is equipped with Nissan's innovative XTRONIC CVT for maximized fuel economy when you need it. An available XTRONIC CVT-M6 is added on the Murano Z51 for sporty performance. The Nissan Murano Z51 comes with the ALL-MODE 4x4-i (Yaw Moment Control) for all-round cruising on any road conditions.
My thoughts about the Murano:
Ms. Elizabeth Lee, senior vice president of Universal Motors Corporation, you made a wrong move about the Murano Z51. What you bring last year is the old, pre-face-lift model, now in Japan, since January 20, 2011, what they did is the facelifted Murano Z51 is out and scheduled for Japanese sale this early February. Please do something about that Murano Z51! This Murano Z51 we had in the Philippines is old now and we need the face-lifted version, just like the Japanese have, now!
I hope Elizabeth Lee, the senior vice president of UMC, will take my memo and realizing it was a bad move and bad timing that we were far from the schedule about the Murano Z51's launch and I just hope that the latest face-lift of the Murano Z51 will appeal more buyers than the Lexus RX 350.

Suzuki -Third Generation- MR Wagon (MF33S)
The term "MR" in the MR Wagon nameplate does not mean "mister" and it's not referring to a midship engine, or rear-wheel drive kei car just like the Mitsubishi i. MR in the MR Wagon name stands for "Magical Relax", but before explaining the latest generation of the Suzuki MR Wagon, time for a little history class.
Launched in 2001, the Suzuki MR Wagon is a kei car targeted at female Japanese customers. The MR Wagon was also sold in India as the Maruti Zen Estillo (now Maruti Estillo) and rebadged by Nissan as the Moco, also sold in Japan. In January 2006, the MR Wagon made a full change following with the Nissan Moco in February 2006. For two generations, this Magical Relax Wagon has been the most relaxing kei car for female customers thanks to its adorable design, relaxing interior, and impressive fuel economy.
Now on January 20, 2011, the Magical Relax Wagon is on its full model change as the Suzuki MR Wagon reaches its third generation and is now made for young drivers, both male and female, well sort of...
As the Mama Wagon is now made even more cuter, what to expect more from the new MR Wagon; the front face is now made into more of a worried look. For the past two generations, the MR Wagon always had its smiley face, but now, the look of the third-generation MR Wagon feels like this cute compact's worrying and panicking about something, but can the panicky look panic the buyers saying that this looks "vanilla-ish" and "plain".
Despite the plain interior, there is a special surprise at the new interior. The new MR Wagon has a touch-screen in place of a conventional FM/AM/CD/MP3 player. This new player has the feel of an iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad and it's a great convenience that owners can swipe various options such as listening to music from the radio/CD/MP3,
The new Suzuki MR Wagon is equipped with the new R06A engine. A new 660cc engine has a power output of 54PS/6,500rpm and a fuel economy of 25.5km/L. The fuel economy of this new engine makes the MR Wagon the most fuel-efficient in all of Suzuki's lineup but this is not well enough to outsmart the TNP27 of the fifth-generation Daihatsu Move. It comes with the innovative CVT for improved fuel efficiency in the city and on the highway. For those who need turbo, there's a variant for that! The MR Wagon T has a turbocharged R06A engine that has a power output of 64PS/6,000rpm and a fuel economy of 22.5km/L. No matter which engine type you choose, you will have to make it through with the panicky face of the new Suzuki MR Wagon.
My thoughts about the MR Wagon;
The new face of the new MR Wagon made me worried that this may not be like it among kei car enthusiasts because they still prefer the new Daihatsu Move because of its TNP27 concept. The target for the new MR Wagon is always young Japanese people looking for fuel-efficient Suzuki cars. The new MR Wagon is the most fuel-efficient in all of Suzuki's variants but not quite fuel-efficient against the three kings of fuel efficiency such as the Nissan March K13, 3rd-generation Toyota Vitz/Yaris, and the TNP27 Daihatsu Move. Anyway, sales of the new Suzuki MR Wagon start now and the third-generation Nissan Moco may follow shortly this mid-February 2011.
