WE'D COULD TELL YOU THAT AS OUR BEST FAMILY SEDAN BECAUSE BUT WHAT REALLY SEALED WE LOVE THE FACT THAT DESPITE ACROSS THE BOARD AND STUFFING FORD HASN'T FORGOTTEN APPLYING FIRST IN CLASS FEATURES LIKE CONTINUOUSLY CONTROLLED THAT HAVE IT SMOOTHLY RIDING TO OUR BEST CONVERTIBLE AWARD GOES FOR NOT A LOT OF MONEY, ALL OF THE FUN IN THE SUN YET DELIVERS IT IN A WAY ONLY WHICH MEANS GO-KART LIKE AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL NOT SEEN THOUGHTFUL FEATURES LIKE FOR THE FABRIC TOP, FOR THE CARGO AREA, JUST MADE THE MERCEDES-BENZ E300 LUXURY SEDAN AWARD.

SURE, THE DRIVE PILOT THAT RIVALS TESLA WAS PART OF THE E-CLASS' UNDERSTATED STYLE EVERY CATEGORY.

WHETHER, GORGEOUS MATERIALS, OR EASY IT'S ATTAINABLE, AND YES, GERMAN LUXURY AT ITS FINEST.

ANOTHER GERMAN 4-DOOR TAKES OUR IT'S THE AUDI A4.

AUDI'S OVER ACHIEVING 4-DOOR FOR '17.

AND WHILE, BETWEEN BMW PERFORMANCE BETTER THAN EVER; THE FINEST INTERIORS IN AND WHILE ITS EXTERIOR MAY NOT THE CAR IS PACKED FULL OF ANOTHER REPEAT WINNER THE CHEVROLET CAMARO.

AND WHILE IT MAY BE A REPEAT, AS LAST YEAR.

SINCE THEN, THERE'S BEEN BUT EVEN MORE IMPORTANTLY, A BRAWNY BEAST OF A MACHINE THAT THE CAMARO FORM THAT WE LOVE BUT EVEN MORE TO THE POINT, THIS IT BUILDS ON THE PREVIOUS GEN SUSPENSION TO BE A REAL AND GO BACK TO BACK AS OUR FOR YEARS WE, HAVE LONGED FOR BMW TO BRING WELL, WE'VE FINALLY BEEN GIVEN EXACTLY WHAT WE WERE OUR BEST PERFORMANCE CAR, THIS HIGH-STRUNG POCKET ROCKET WE REMEMBER, A 365 HORSEPOWER INLINE TURBO-6, BRINGS BACK THAT DRIVER-CENTRIC IN RECENT BMW'S.

OUR BEST ECO-FRIENDLY AWARD COME AS A SURPRISE, BRINGS TO MARKET FOR WIDE SPREAD ALL-ELECTRIC AN EV WITH 200 MILES PLUS FOR A PRICE TAG OF LESS THAN AND IT DOES IT IN A SPORTY AS USER-FRIENDLY AS IT IS BEST DREAM MACHINES ARE THEY GO TO THE CARS WE'D BUY IF A HEAP OF MONEY.

THE ACURA NSX NEEDS NO AND STAKES WERE CERTAINLY TO BRING THIS LEGENDARY MANY WERE SKEPTICAL WELL, THEY NAILED IT.

OUR NEXT DREAM MACHINE COMES MCLAREN LINEUP, OUR FAVORITE ONE YET.

THE 570GT TAKES ALL THE MID-RANGE 570S, DAILY DRIVER PACKAGE WE'D NEVER WHEN IT COMES TO PERFORMANCE, THE PORSCHE 911 TURBO S IS BUT, FOR '17 IT GOES NEXT LEVEL ALL-WHEEL DRIVE INSANITY.

UNDENIABLY, THAT'S IT FOR NOW, WE'LL BE BACK SHORTLY WITH THAT EARNED OUR 2017 MOTORWEEK * AS WE RACE AROUND OUR TEST HIGH PERFORMANCE, WE CAN'T HELP CARS OF THE RECENT PAST.

CARS THAT FOR ENTHUSIASTS MARKED AUTOMOBILE.

SO, WE SENT OUR FYI REPORTER RACING DOWN TO MELBOURNE, TO A COLLECTION THAT'S SOLE THE BEST IN AMERICAN MUSCLE.

* Lauren Morrison: STARTED OUT SMALL... Mark Pieloch: AS A LITTLE KID, I STARTED COLLECTING THE LITTLE WHEN I WAS PROBABLY Lauren: BUT OH, Mark: AND SO, I WAS FORTUNATE THAT WERE SUCCESSFUL.

I'VE SOLD FIVE OF THE SIX AND SO, I WAS ACTUALLY ABLE TO BUILDING A CAR MUSEUM.

Lauren: THE PRIVATE BOASTS OVER 260 CARS... FROM THE HEIGHT OF THE MUSCLE RIGHT UP TO MUSCLE FROM Mark: A LOT OF THESE CARS OFF THE HIGHWAYS, AND SO, IT'S AN IMPORTANT PART Lauren: ONE OF THE MOST UNIQUE IS THE YENKO COLLECTION.

IT'S THE MOST EXTENSIVE Lauren: TWENTY-FOUR AT LEAST ONE OF EVERY Mark: IN TOTAL, A THOUSAND CARS EVER.

HE BUILT YENKO CORVAIR'S, BUILT THE YENKO TRANS-AM.

HE EVEN BUILT SOME YENKO Lauren: THEN YOU CAN HIT RACING INDY 500 PACE CARS AND THIS 1955 CHEVY BEL AIR.

Mark: I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO WERE ACCURATELY REPRESENTING SO, EVERY CAR YOU SEE IN Lauren: EVEN THOUGH THE CARS IT DOESN'T MEAN THEY HAVE Mark: SO WITHIN THE COLLECTION, LESS THAN 100 ORIGINAL MILES.

Lauren: WHILE, THEY'RE EVEN MORE FUN EVERYTHING IN THE COLLECTION 1966 FORD MUSTANG GT CONVERTIBLE [ENGINE REVS & TIRES SCREECH] Mark: EVERY VEHICLE IS RUN, OIL AND FLUIDS CHANGED, DRIVEN ON ANY GIVEN DAY.

Lauren: BUT, THE PINNACLE OF FRONT AND CENTER, Mark: I WOULD SAY, 1966 SHELBY 427 COBRA.

IN THE I HAVE IT SURROUNDED WITH AND I HAVE ONE OF EVERY COLOR Lauren: WHILE, A COLLECTION CAR ENTHUSIAST DROOL, THE WALK-IN PUBLIC.

INSTEAD MARK OPENS THE DOORS AS WELL AS SCHOOL TOURS, APPRECIATE WHAT THEY MISSED.

Mark: THE AUTOMOBILE HAS GREATLY AND SO, I WANTED TO SAVE THAT TO SHOW YOU KNOW, WHAT IT USED TO BE LIKE BACK IN Lauren: WHEN YOU THINK YOU DON'T THINK ENVIRONMENTALLY OVER 1200 SOLAR PANELS POWER Lauren: THE LED LIGHTS THAT ALSO PLAY A PART IN THE Mark: IT ALSO, GIVES YOU THE VEHICLES YOU'RE LOOKING AT, Lauren: AFTER GETTING ONLY I WAS CONVINCED THE COLLECTION BUT, FOR MARK, STANDING STILL... FOR HIM IT'S STILL PEDAL TO SO, STAND BACK AND WATCH AMERICAN MUSCLE...FLEX, John: TIME TO GET BACK TO DRIVERS' CHOICE AWARDS.

HERE'S A LOOK AT THE TRUCKS GOT THE JOB DONE THE BEST * CROSSOVER UTILITY SALES CONTINUE WITH A HOST OF NEW ENTRIES, PARTICULARLY THOSE SMALLER BUT IT'S ONE OF THE ORIGINALS FOR BEST SMALL UTILITY, IT ALREADY DID JUST ABOUT THE SALES NUMBERS TO PROVE IT.

BUT WITH A WELL THOUGHT-OUT IT FILLS IN ALL THE GAPS; A VOLUME KNOB, IN AN INCREDIBLY COMPETITIVE OUR BEST LARGE UTILITY IS ANOTHER GENUINE STANDOUT, MAZDA TRADED IN A MARKET AN EMOTIONALLY-STYLED, AUTOMOTIVE MACHINERY THAT AS IT MOVES PEOPLE AND CARGO.

SOMETHING THAT DIDN'T CHANGE IS WHEN IT COMES TO HANDLING, FITS RIGHT IN WITH THE SPORTY EVERYONE LOVES A COME FROM AND THE MAZDA CX-9s ZOOM-ZOOM JAGUAR HAS TRULY BEEN BRINGING SO IT MAKES SENSE THAT THEIR WOULD EARN OUR BEST LUXURY THE F-PACE STANDS OUT IN WITH THE STYLE, AND AIR OF EXCLUSIVITY THAT BUT ALSO WITH SOME SERIOUS THAT WE DIDN'T.

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN REALLY EASY A LAND ROVER AND CALL IT A DAY, VERY SUCCESSFUL.

BUT THE F-PACE IS BASED ON THEIR AND IS ANOTHER BIG HIT FOR RUMORS OF THE MINIVAN'S DEMISE AS CHRYSLER, THE INVENTOR DOES A FULL REBOOT WITH SHOWCASING WHY MINIVANS REALLY OF ALL VEHICLES, AND EARNING OUR BEST LOADS OF CARGO SPACE FOR DAD, AND LUXURY FEATURES FOR MOM, FOR THE LITTLE ONES, AND FEATURES LIKE STOW N' GO HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DUPLICATE.

WHAT'S MORE, BRINGS SOME STYLE TO AND A SOON TO ARRIVE PLUG-IN THE MINIVAN KEEPS DRIVING INTO THE NISSAN TITAN IS A REPEAT BEST PICKUP TRUCK, AN ALL-NEW HALF-TON TITAN TO BOTH OFFER BIG TRUCK LOOKS ENCASING EASY TO OPERATE THAT'S PLENTY TO KEEP AND MAKE THEIR RIVALS NERVOUS.

STAY TUNED, AS WE STILL HAVE IT'S OUR MOTORWEEK DRIVERS' WHAT IS THE WORLD COMING TO?

NOW EVEN MASERATI IS BUILDING AND WHY NOT?

UPPER INCOME BUYERS OBVIOUSLY JUST ASK PORSCHE, MERCEDES, SO, AN SUV IS A LOGICAL NEXT GHIBLI SEDAN.

BUT FOR MASERATI, RACING AND BUILDING RARIFIED TAKING THE SUV PLUNGE MEANS CARGO ROOM AND ALL-WHEEL DRIVE.

* BUILDING SUV'S, A CAR-BASED CROSSOVER UTILITY, LIKE THIS 2017 MASERATI IS WHAT BRANDS MUST DO TODAY AND HOPEFULLY, BUT, TO BE SUCCESSFUL, TO WHAT THE MARQUE IS EVEN MORE IS RIDING ON IT IS THE FIRST EXOTIC IN DECADES.

ON THAT SCORE, EXOTIC AT A DISTANCE.

BUT, AS WITH MOST OF THE CLOSER INSPECTION WILL REVEAL THE HIGHLY SCULPTED BODY PANELS ITALIANS STILL HAVE A WAY WITH UNLIKE JAGUAR'S TRIM F-PACE, NOT QUITE CADILLAC ESCALADE BIG, BEING BASED ON THE GHIBLI SEDAN, TWIN-TURBO 3.0 LITER V6, WITH A STANDARD 345 HORSEPOWER OUR S VERSION UPS THAT TO AND 428 POUND-FEET.

AND EVEN THOUGH, YOU KNOW IT'S STILL A SURPRISE AT HOW REAR-BIASED, TORQUE-VECTORING AS IS AN 8-SPEED AUTOMATIC THE SHIFTER ITSELF LOOKS AND IS EQUALLY FRUSTRATING NOT SO, THE OPTIONAL PADDLE ALTHOUGH, TO THE TURN SIGNAL STALK A BIT.

IN ADDITION TO THE BOOST LEVANTE S GET 19-INCH WHEELS, NICER LEATHER INSIDE, AND ADDITIONAL SAFETY FEATURES ALL LEVANTE'S COME WITH MULTIPLE RIDE HEIGHTS THAT OF GROUND CLEARANCE, HELPING IT IT, IF PROPERLY EQUIPPED, CAN DRIVING IS THRILLINGLY ITALIAN, THOUGH A HEAVY ONE, TRIGGERING SPORT MODE AND TRANSMISSION RESPONSE AS WELL AS SUSPENSION STIFFNESS.

YOU CAN THROW IT INTO CORNERS AND INSTANTLY FORGET YOU'RE IN PLUS, THE RIDE QUALITY REMAINS IT IN SPORT ALL OF THE TIME.

WHEN NOT IN SPORT MODE, COMPLIANT AND FAIRLY SOFT, WITHOUT FEELING FLOATY STEERING IS VERY QUICK HOWEVER, AS WE FOUND OUT ON OUR HANDLING THERE'S A GOOD AMOUNT OF WHICH IS ALWAYS NICE.

PUSH TOO HARD, TRACTION NANNIES WILL INTERVENE; PRETTY BRISKLY BEFORE THEY AND IT'S CERTAINLY QUICK OFF LAUNCHING WITH A HEALTHY LEAP HITTING 60 IN 5.1 SECONDS.

SHIFTS ARE EQUALLY IMPRESSIVE, AND KEEPING THE POWER WE FINISHED THE QUARTER MILE IN 13.5 SECONDS AT 106 MILES OH, AND DID WE MENTION THIS THERE IS THE USUAL ACCOMPANIMENT JUST ABOUT EVERY SURFACE INSIDE, ADEQUATE THROUGHOUT.

CARGO SPACE EVEN LESS SO, MAXING OUT AT 57.0; A SUPER STILL, IT'S HARD TO SEE IT CONSIDERING THERE'S A UTILITY TO BE SATIATED.

ALL-IN-ALL, IT'S A MASERATI AND NOT A CONGLOMERATION OF GOVERNMENT FUEL ECONOMY RATINGS AND 16-COMBINED.

A STARTING PRICE OF $73,250 LUXURY PERFORMANCE UTE, TRANSACT CLOSER TO SIX-FIGURES.

WE'LL PREDICT THAT, LIKE JUST THAT HAS GONE SUV, WILL QUICKLY BECOME THEIR AND, ITS OWNERS WILL INDEED IN HOW IT LOOKS, AND OH, HOW IT DRIVES.

TO SAY IT'S STILL AN EXOTIC AND WE HOPE THAT THOSE, AND APPRECIATE THIS SPECIAL WILL SNAP IT UP.

* [CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS] Lauren Morrison: JAGUAR'S IS TAKING ANOTHER STEP TOWARD OUR SPY PHOTOGRAPHERS THE JAGUAR I-PACE TESTING IN THE WHILE HEAVILY CAMOUFLAGED, SIMILAR TO THE CONCEPT LAST NOVEMBER.

ONE VISUAL DIFFERENCE FOR THE CONCEPT'S HOOD VENT ANOTHER IS THE SLIM IT IS NOW IN TWO SECTIONS, RATHER THAT THE CONCEPT'S JAGUAR SAYS THE I-PACE WILL HAVE ONE ON EACH AXLE, WITH A DRIVING RANGE OF THE JAGUAR I-PACE IS EXPECTED WELL, WE'RE NOT DONE WE STILL HAVE ONE MORE TO GO, OUR 2017 MOTORWEEK DRIVER'S * THE CHEVROLET BOLT EV IS OUR 2017 MOTORWEEK DRIVER'S CHOICE A CLEAR STANDOUT ABOVE ALL OF OVER THE LAST 12 MONTHS, TO ANYONE WHO HAS FOLLOWED THAT THIS HIGHLY PRACTICAL COVETED PRIZE.

EVER SINCE MODERN EVs FIRST COUNTLESS CRITICS AND CONSUMERS THAT THEY WOULDN'T TRULY BE TO INTERNAL COMBUSTION VEHICLES 200 MILES BETWEEN CHARGES WELL, WE'VE FINALLY BREACHED AND IT'S CHEVROLET, UPPER CRUST BRAND THAT GOT AND THEY DID IT WITH HIGHLY PRACTICAL PACKAGE STRICTLY FOR THE GREENIES.

AS FOR SPECIFICS, GOVERNMENT EPA WITH MPGE RATINGS OF 128-CITY, THE BOLT EVs 60KWH BATTERY AND 266 POUND-FEET OF TORQUE MAGNETIC DRIVE MOTOR.

A FULL CHARGE ON 240 VOLTS BUT 90 MILES OF RANGE CAN BE 30 MINUTES WITH A DC THERE ARE THINGS THAT LIKE EV-SPECIFIC NAVIGATION, AND A HOST OF ACTIVE AND PASSIVE BUT THERE ARE ALSO, LIKE SEATING FOR FIVE IN MODERN CROSSOVER LIKE EXTERIOR AND HATCHBACK UTILITY WITH BEHIND THE SEATS.

IT'S EVEN FAIRLY ENTERTAINING NEAR-INSTANTANEOUS TORQUE AND BATTERIES THAT ARE IN THE CHASSIS.

YOU CAN EASILY DIAL IN YOUR REGENERATIVE BRAKING, LESS TO CLOSE TO NORMAL, AS POSSIBLE BACK IN AND PRETTY EVER USING THE BRAKE PEDAL.

THE BOLT EV REMOVES WHATEVER REMAIN IN KEEPING ALL-ELECTRIC TRUE, BASE PRICING IS ACTUALLY BUT, ONCE THE FULL FEDERAL IT SQUEAKS UNDER THE $30,000 AND MANY STATE INCENTIVES TAKE HOPEFULLY, THOSE PERKS WILL THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.

PUSHING BOUNDARIES, WHILE KEEPING IT AFFORDABLE; THE CHEVROLET BOLT EV OUR AS OUR 2017 MOTORWEEK DRIVERS' WELL THAT'S OUR SHOW, NOW, FOR MORE MOTORWEEK; PODCASTS, CRUISE ON OVER TO AND I HOPE YOU'LL WHEN ACURA ADDS HYBRID POWER TO AND THE ALFA ROMEO GIULIA; ITALIAN SPIRIT IN A MID-SIZE I'M JOHN DAVIS, WE'LL SEE YOU RIGHT HERE ON Announcer: TO LEARN MORE ABOUT TELEVISION'S ORIGINAL AUTOMOTIVE PBS.ORG/MOTORWEEK.
