Volkswagen Jetta VI

In North America, it is common that you are seeing a bunch of Volkswagen Jetta cars roaming around the American road, especially the Motor City, Detroit, Michigan. Although the Volkswagen Jetta is the German's take on the Toyota Corolla and the Honda Civic, the pricing for the Jetta is set at its competitive peak, calling it the entry-level Volkswagen for all, always staying up to its "Das Auto" slogan. In Summer 2010, the sixth-generation Volkswagen Jetta made its world premiere at Times Square, New York, and began sales on that quarter. With its North American success, Volkswagen decided to bring the Jetta on its homeland, Germany, and commercialization starts this 1st quarter 2011.

Although the codename is NCS (New Compact Sedan), the sixth-generation Jetta made this entry-level V-Dub sedan even more feistier and no longer shares the Golf platform, no longer called "the Golf with the trunk" anymore. In Europe, the sixth-generation Jetta is offered in an entry-level 1.2-litre TSi engine, a 1.6-litre TDi engine, and a high-performance 2.0-litre TDi engine. The 1.2-litre TSi engine is a turbocharged engine capable of releasing a power output of just 105 PS and consumes for about 5.7 litres/100km, while the 1.6L TDi engine consumes for about 4.5 litres/100km with the same power output as the 1.2-litre TSi engine, making it an effective European eco-car for the masses. Lastly, the top-of-the-line 2.0 TDI DPF has a greater power output of 140 PS and consumes for about 4.8 litres/100km. Volkswagen plans to add more engine ranges for the new Jetta in the future.

MY THOUGHTS ABOUT THE JETTA:
Entry-level quality at its best, and that is why the Jetta evolved into even more than what you expect from other entry-level cars. Although the exterior looks more like an enlarged version of the Russian-made Polo Saloon, the new Jetta looks more stylish and stays true to its entry-level roots. With its improved tastes, I admit that the new Jetta makes it a worthy opponent from the world of entry-level compact sedans. The Hyundai Accent RB seems to be waiting for the new Jetta to make a move.

With that, I just really hope that Volkswagen will return to the Philippines soon, however, we do not like what will the price of this new Jetta is because it will end up being 10% more expensive than the Toyota Belta.

XFR in GT5

This executive sedan cruises the
city streets at night

Despite branded as a Standard Tier car, the Jaguar XFR, the high-performance version of the Jaguar XF executive sedan, made its appearance at GT5 and nope, you can't buy it at the dealerships...yet!

On the highway, the XFR's beauty shines

To obtain the elusive Jaguar XFR, you must first win gold at the Top Gear challenge where you have to overtake the Kubelwagens in the Kubelwagen (Watch out for the incoming Schwimmwagen vehicles!).

Nighttime cruising with the cat

Driving the Jaguar XFR made more like a rich executive but here on GT5, it's all about racing on this big cat. At night, the XFR looks more elegant. Heh, I even know that this executive high-performance saloon is one heck of a cool car but I believe that I may take some time to master the Jaguar XFR in Gran Turismo 5.

Cool beauty underneath the hulking
Jaguar XFR

If you even show it on online mode, who cares? Every GT5 player knows exactly how the Jaguar XFR look like but still, they don't even mind it but questioning "how to win the Jaguar XFR in GT5" all over. Folks, its on the Top Gear challenge. To win this car, finish the Top Gear challenge (the Kubelwagen part) in gold. The Sambabus part of the Top Gear challenge rewards gold winners the Top Gear Test Track while the Lotus Elise 111R part of the Top Gear challenge rewards gold winners a special Lotus Elise Type 72. Need to repeat myself?

Finish the Sambabus part of the Top Gear Challenge in Gold to unlock the Top Gear Test Track

Finish the Lotus Elise 111R part of the Top Gear Challenge to win the Lotus Elise Type 72

Lastly, accomplish Gold in the Kubelwagen part of the Top Gear Challenge to win the Jaguar XFR

(panting) Oh well, I'm enjoying myself driving the XFR at the highway with a fresh Personal BGM...

Oh Yes! Bicolore version of Kiyama-sensei's car!

Lamborghini Gallardo Bicolore

Back at the 2011 Qatar Motor Show, Lamborghini debuted a Gallardo Bicolore special edition. (What I meant to say that this is the Bicolore Edition of Kiyama-Sensei's Gallardo, you know what I mean)

In Europe and Asia-Pacific markets (especially Japan); the Gallardo LP560-4 Bicolore will be offered while in the North American markets; only the 2WD Gallardo LP550-2 Bicolore will be offered. It may be disappointed for North American Gallardo fans that they got the downgraded, 2WD version of the Gallardo Bicolore but wherever which country you're in, the Gallardo Bicolore is colored in stylish two-tone and its available in five authentic colors; Giallo Midas, Arancio Borealis, Grigo Telesto, Bianco Monocerus, and Blu Caelum.

I believe when it hits in Japan soon, they'll go gaga over the Blu Caelum color because that was the color of the Gallardo Kiyama-sensei drove in To Aru Kagaku no Railgun. With this Bicolore special edition, this is Kiyama-sensei's car in a new direction. LOL

SINO ANG DAPAT SISIHIN?

That was my question;

SINO ANG DAPAT SISIHIN?!

I watched the news about construction workers died from an gondola accident at some construction site at Makati City.

Scoop:

http://www.inquirer.net/propertyguide/buildingblocks/view.php?db=1&article=20110129-317249

Deepest condolences to the families of the deceased construction workers. As I noticed it, SINO ANG DAPAT SISIHIN? (Who's Going to Blame?) The construction firm? I think so because they were behind this!

Families of the deceased construction workers (about 11) are trying to seek justice from this incident.

Aside from that, anyone heard of the BUS BOMBING in Edsa?

Who knows...we'll find the answer someday...
