Mazda Hakaze

Mazda Motor presents its Hakaze design concept at the Geneva show. The Hakaze is described as a four-seat coupe-style compact crossover SUV. The gull-wing doors make it look like it’s ready to fly like a bird.

Hakaze is the third design concept of the series created around the “Nagare” design language, joining the Mazda Nagare and Mazda Ryuga which were revealed earlier this year.

HKS Presents Carbon-Fibre Aero Kit for Suzuki Swift Sport.

Suzuki’s latest generation Swift is one of our favourite mini cars; it’s reliable and well built, it’s nice on the road and it looks nearly as good as a MINI without costing an arm and a leg.
The top-of-the-line Sport version with its perky 125 Hp 1.6-liter is even better adding a dose of sportiness to the mixture. While we wouldn’t have minded a few more horses under the hood, HKS’ offering for the Swift Sport which was redesigned for the Japanese market last yea, concentrates on appearance and handling.The Japanese tuner’s aero kit includes mirror caps, front and rear lip, roof spoiler, hood with an aero scoop and a rear door spoiler all of which are made out of carbon-fibre. The Swift’s exterior looks are complemented by a set of 18-inch Advan RC-III alloys wrapped in Yokohama tires (215/35 R18). Additionally, HKS offers buyers the option of suspension, brake and chassis upgrades.

Every kid, service driver, mom and pop are all lining up at every Shell Gas station to get their hands on one of the six limited-edition collector’s item Ferrari model cars. The Shell-Ferrari Model cars are so in-demand people are buying them by the dozens, even if there’s only 6 in a set. The 1:38 scaled down models include the Ferrari Enzo, the F430, the 575 Superamerica, the 360 Spider, the F50, and the Ferrari F1 racer.

In order to get one, you’ll have to gas up at Shell. For every Php500 (single receipt) you spend, you can buy any one of the six Ferrari model cars. Each one costs Php98 (for Super Unleaded and Premium) or just Php49 for V-Power. Promo lasts only until December 31, 2007. And to think I’m an avid BPI-Petron customer. Will switch back to Petron when this is over.
If anybody is interested, I could also raffle off these toys in our next contest.
