Can you play with my Wii?



Damn straight, you can. You can play ball on my Wii now. Aside from the childish humor, the new Nintendo Wii console will also be good for playing Madden. The next installation of madden will incorporate a novel control scheme where you'll be able to flick the controller to throw the ball for example or flick it left or right and your player on screen will perform a juke move on the field. This shall be interesting if done right. Here's a video of the new Madden in action on a Wii.

Aston Martin for sale


So I guess Ford won't be able to mess up its best brand since they are putting it up for sale. Anyone want to donate a billion dollars so I can buy it? I promise I'll give you the first Aston Martin off the line.

Just for you Ashley


This is an early, and I emphasize early, illustration of the next generation RX from Lexus. The similarities are more than obvious to the current generation but is that really a negative quality? The front fascia seems to be improved with a much more agressive air intake coupled with smaller and thus more aggressive and modern looking front lights. The rear design is by far the most interesting point in this image. It seems as if the windshield is at an angle that is not steep enough for any practical purpose other than getting into a crash while driving this car in reverse. Sure you have that annoying momentary repetitive beep noise while in ireverse and the infamous rear camera but seeing behind you is still fairly inportant on the streets. The only thing I can think of is that they will curve the rear windshield down to the lights similar to the CRX and current Prius. Nonetheless, this will see like hotcakes and lets hope they throw in their v8 4.3 engine or perhaps the 4.6 engine which should be able to compete with the Cayene nicely.

Hope you like it Ashley, and remember the brake is on the left pedal.

Bond, James Bond



Here is the next James Bond car. Or in this case: Martin, Aston Martin. It is officially titled the DBRS 9, sporting a more elegant look via sharper lines and more exagerrated AM cues than its older brother the DB9. Cramed in its engine compartment is a v12 that produces a good 400hp, reaching 500. Most likley only James Bond will be able to take this ride for a spin but rumors has it that this design will serve as the basis for the next generation DB9.

Aston Martin remains one of my favorite car manufacturers so keep them coming guys. And hopefully Ford doesn't mess this up.
