STATE FARM IS PROUD TO SUPPORT John: SOMETHING DIFFERENT COMES ALONG; THAT WAS THE CASE A CONVERTIBLE VERSION OF THEIR COMPACT RANGE ROVER EVOQUE NOW, MUCH LIKE US, WHY AN EVOQUE DROP TOP?

WELL, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE HERE * THE 2017 LAND ROVER RANGE CERTAINLY A RARE ANIMAL, AND IT IS ALSO, TO EVER WEAR A RANGE ROVER YES, WE DO REMEMBER THE AND IT MAY BE A COINCIDENCE CONCEPT SHOWED UP AT GENEVA NOT WENT ON SALE.

THOUGH NISSAN'S EFFORT THEY PULLED THE PLUG.

SOMETHING TELLS US, FOR THE LONGER HAUL IT'S CLEAR RANGE ROVER WANTED TO AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE WITH THE Z-FOLD DESIGN OF WHILE ALSO, ALLOWING IT TO FOLD QUICKLY AND COMPACTLY.

IT LOOKS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT STILL VERY STYLISH AND LESS APPEARING MORE LIKE A JACKED-UP THERE'S NOT MUCH BUT IT IS ADEQUATE.

FRONT SEATS ARE VERY COMFORTABLE AND THE SEATING POSITION IS THE TWO REAR SEATS ARE A DECENT AMOUNT OF HEADROOM BUT ADULT-SIZE LEG ROOM IS MAKING ROOM FOR THE FOLDING TOP PRACTICAL CARGO SPACE, IT'S ACTUALLY, NOT TOO BAD THE SPACE IS THE SAME WHETHER THOUGH THE OPENING TO ACCESS [ENGINE STARTS UP] UNDER THE HOOD IS THE SAME 240 HORSEPOWER, THAT'S FOUND IN THE COUPE PUTTING OUT 251 POUND-FEET OF TRANSMISSION IS A 9-SPEED ALL-WHEEL DRIVE IS STANDARD.

THE FRONT-WHEEL DRIVE TO THE REAR WHEELS ONLY WHEN TERRAIN RESPONSE AND ALL TERRAIN INCLUDED.

WHETHER, IT'S OVER 600 POUNDS OR AERODYNAMIC DIFFERENCES, AT OUR TEST TRACK A FAIR BIT SLOWER THAN ITS 7.5 SECONDS TO 60, THAN THE LAST EVOQUE WE TESTED, THOUGH IT STILL DID WELL CLOCK ASIDE, IT ACTUALLY AFTER A BRIEF HESITATION AND THROUGHOUT THE QUARTER AND STRONG.

THERE WAS ALSO, A NICE ENGINE AS WE TRIPPED THE LIGHTS AT 15.9 SECONDS AND 87 MILES IT WAS GOOD FUN THROUGH LOTS OF GRIP, GOOD FEEDBACK, COMPARED TO OTHER EVOQUE'S.

SHARP THROTTLE RESPONSE EVEN EASILY CONTROLLED OVERSTEER.

MINIMAL FADE AND 60-0 BRAKING ADDS TO THE SPORTY, SOLID FEEL SO, THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE, VASTLY BETTER THAN THE FLEXIBLE GOVERNMENT FUEL ECONOMY RATINGS AND 23-COMBINED.

WHICH, WE MATCHED WITH AN OF PREMIUM.

THE ENERGY IMPACT SCORE 14.3 BARRELS OF OIL YEARLY, AVAILABLE IN ONLY SE DYNAMIC EVOQUE CONVERTIBLE PRICING THAT MEANS GOING TOPLESS IS THE 2017 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER NOT EVERYONE'S CUP OF TEA, A GOOD REASON THAT NO ONE ELSE UTILITY.

BUT AS THEY SAY, "NOTHING VENTURED, AND FOR ABOUT THE SAME PRICE YOU CAN GET A TRULY UNIQUE SO, FORGET ABOUT THE FACT THAT A UTILITY VEHICLE; 4-SEAT GO ANYWHERE, SOLID HANDLING AND BRAKING THAT IMMEDIATELY TO FLORIDA RENTAL THEN, THIS EVOQUE MAKES * WHEN IT COMES TO PEOPLE MOVING REALLY FIT INTO ONE PARTICULAR WE TURN TO OUR RESIDENT NOW, HE'LL RIDE OR DRIVE AND HE'S NOT AFRAID OF HAVING Brian Robinson: BY NOW YOU'VE THE ROAD, AND THOUGHT WELL, THAT WAS US TOO, IT'S A SLINGSHOT MADE BY AND NOW THAT, LET'S FIND OUT WHAT [STARTS ENGINE UP] THERE MAY BE 3-WHEELS IN PLAY BUT THIS 2017 POLARIS SLINGSHOT YOUR AVERAGE TRIKE, THE CAN-AM SPYDER.

RATHER, MUCH AS THE CAMPAGNA FIVE YEARS AGO, STEERING WHEEL, MAKE IT SOMETHING ENTIRELY WHAT'S CHANGED SINCE THEN, IS CONTROLS; MANY STATES ARE NOW WHICH MEANS, IN A LOT OF CASES IS NO LONGER REQUIRED, SENSE TO US.

THE CAR LIKENESS BEGINS WITH A 2.4 LITER GM ECOTEC 4-CYLINDER UPON HEARING THAT, JUST KEEPING THE HOOD CLOSED AND BUT IT'S NOT REALLY A BAD THING, USE OF ITS 173 HORSEPOWER THE ONLY THING THAT'S TRULY IS THE SWING-ARM AND BELT DRIVE A SINGLE REAR WHEEL, TRANSMISSION IS 5-SPEED MANUAL.

OH, AND THE WHOLE THING ON THE ROAD, THAT SOLITARY REAR WHEEL, YOU'RE IN A MIATA WITH A SHORTER AND MUCH QUICKER STEERING.

WHICH IS TO SAY THE EXPERIENCE THERE ARE EVEN CUP HOLDERS OPTIONAL OF COURSE.

THE BIGGEST THRILL IS FEELING AWAY WITH SOMETHING, LIKE, "SHOULD I REALLY BE DRIVING THIS THROTTLE RESPONSE IS IMMEDIATE, TRACTION SOMETIMES HARD TO BUT DESPITE THAT FAT RUBBER IN AND THE SLINGSHOT'S PROPENSITY IN THE ROAD, IT NEVER FEELS AND YOU CAN ACTUALLY, IF THAT'S YOUR THING.

FROM DEAD ON, PART OPEN WHEEL RACE CAR, THAN EITHER.

FROM THE SIDE, THE OPEN COCKPIT DESIGN, FROM THE REAR IT'S ALL ABOUT SPORTING 305 RUBBER ON THIS SLR TRIM ALSO, TINTED WINDSCREEN, 18-INCH AND COMPOSITE BRAKE ROTORS.

INSIDE, AS WELL AS SPARCO STEERING BASE SLINGSHOTS START AT AROUND $28,499 FOR THIS SLR.

THERE'S NOT TOO MANY VEHICLES IN ANYWHERE NEAR THE AMOUNT OF THE 2017 POLARIS SLINGSHOT DOES.

IT MAY BE MORE OF A TOY THAN AN BUT WHAT A TOY IT IS!

THIS 3-WHEELED THRILL-RIDE IS John: WHEN IT COMES TO CARS, WILL TAKE YOU A LONG WAY.

AND WE FOUND BOTH, Pat Goss: THAT FENDER BENDER THERE'S ANY DAMAGE, BE THE CASE.

SEE, MODERN CARS, WELL, THEY MAY HAVE ALL KINDS OF BUILT INTO THE FRONT END OF AND EVEN IN THE BACK FOR THINGS LIKE RADAR FOR CRUISE AND PARKING SENSORS, EVEN THE LIGHTS THEMSELVES MAY THEY MAY BE VERY, SO, WHAT LOOKS LIKE NO DAMAGE, WORTH OF DAMAGE.

AND EVEN IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY ON YOUR CAR THERE ARE BRACKETS, IN BEHIND ALL OF THIS THAT GET AND YOU CAN'T SEE THEM.

SO, EVEN THOUGH THERE DOESN'T MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW THE RULES.

NOW, THE FIRST THING IN MAKE SURE THERE'S NO INJURIES, NOW, I MADE MYSELF A CHECK LIST, IN AN ACCIDENT, THINGS LIKE MAKING SURE THAT RESPONSIBILITY.

DON'T SAY, "I'M SORRY" BECAUSE THAT LATER COULD BE YOU HAVE ADMITTED THAT YOU WHEN IN REALITY YOU MAY NOT ALRIGHT NOW, OTHER THINGS OF COURSE, THE POLICE WILL PUT THAT BECAUSE YOU WANT A RECORD OF AND THEN, GET YOUR CELL PHONE AND TAKE PICTURES OF EVERYTHING.

THE POSITION OF THE CARS.

THE DAMAGE THAT IS EVIDENT ANYTHING AT ALL, AND MAKE NOTE AND WHAT THE WEATHER CONDITIONS AND ANY SIGNS OR ANYTHING THAT OR OBSCURED BY FOLIAGE, THIS WILL HELP IF YOU WIND UP AND REMEMBER THAT ACCIDENTS, AT ALL CAN BE BLOWN UP INTO ALRIGHT, AND IF YOU WANT WELL, HERE'S SOMETHING...

THIS IS FROM SWANN, DASH CAMS WILL RECORD ALL OF RUNNING WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING.

SO, ONE THING ABOUT DASH CAMS, DO NOT SHUT THEM DOWN BECAUSE THAT MAY LOOK LIKE YOU OR DO SOMETHING SCREWY WITH SO LET IT RUN CONTINUOUSLY OVER AND DONE WITH.

AND IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION DROP ME A LINE, RIGHT HERE, * John: RECENTLY, OUR 2017 OUR LOT FOR THE LAST TIME.

OVER A BIT MORE THAN 3-MONTHS, TO THE ODOMETER, 29.8 MILES PER GALLON WE WERE IMPRESSED WITH AND NIMBLE RIDE, AND HANDLING STEERING WAS WHAT WE ONCE LOVED LIGHT AND CRISP WITH LOTS OF AND THERE WAS ALWAYS GOOD USABLE TALL DRIVERS ALSO, THE CABIN INTERIOR DESIGN DID DISTRACTIONS... AND LET US ENJOY WHAT DRIVE, AND WITH THE PASSAT, THE END IS ALSO NEAR FOR OUR AFTER 11-MONTHS, MIDSIZE SEDAN SITS JUST PAST SOME OF THAT FROM A RECENT THE OPTIMA'S SEATS, PROVIDED GREAT COMFORT; A WEEK'S WORTH OF FAMILY LUGGAGE THE A/C HAD NO PROBLEM KEEPING THOUGH, WE ALSO WENT THE WINDOWS COMBINED WITH THE OPTIMA'S HUGE AS POSSIBLE.

FUEL ECONOMY HAS STAYED PRETTY WITH THE 2.0 LITER TURBO'S 28.1 MILES PER GALLON.

BUT HERE'S THE BEST NEWS OF OUR MYSTERIOUS SUNROOF GONE AWAY; DOWN TO ONE, CLUNKY DOWNSHIFTS.

WE'LL SHIFT TO AND TO THE CHRYSLER PACIFICA ON OUR NEXT MOTORWEEK NO MATTER HOW MUCH WE DRIVE, EVEN WHEN THERE'S NOT MUCH TIME.

SO LET'S GO FOR A QUICKSPIN!

* WHEN IT COMES TO GETTING THE 2017 FORD F-SERIES SUPER WE DROVE TALL IN THE SADDLE OF THIS F-250 SRW 4X4 CREW CAB KING WITH ITS FIRST GROUND UP WEIGHT DROPS BY 350 POUNDS, AND HIGH-STRENGTH STEEL FRAME.

AS BEFORE BOTH GAS AND DIESEL WE CHOSE THE 440 HORSEPOWER TIED TO A 6-SPEED AUTOMATIC, OF THRUST THROUGH QUICK SHIFTS.

THE F-250 HANDLES WITH CONFIDENCE AND NO NONSENSE; OVER 7,600 POUNDS; CONVENTIONAL ON THE ROAD WE FOUND TURN-INS THANKS TO ADAPTIVE STEERING, INSIDE IT'S QUIET, NEW TECHNOLOGY INCLUDES COLLISION MITIGATION, AND BLIND SPOT INFORMATION SO THE 2017 FORD F-250 ADDS FOR HEAVY-DUTY PICKUPS.

ON SALE NOW, AFTER FOUR YEARS, FOR THE CHEVROLET SS SEDAN.

MOST OF OUR STAFF ARE SORRY PERFORMANCE SEDAN DRIVE ONE DESCRIBED THIS REAR-DRIVE "DIALED IN PERFECTLY."

WE LOVE BEING ABLE TO CHOOSE AND FOUND IT REFRESHING TO GRAB AND PUSH A WELL WEIGHTED STEPPING ON THE GAS PRODUCED FROM ITS 415 HORSEPOWER THE DEEP ANGRY EXHAUST MAGNETIC RIDE CONTROL, ADDED TO OUR SUBLIME RIDE.

SETTLING INTO THE BIG FRONT SEATS WAS EASY, WAS MORE DRIVER FOCUSED.

BUT, IT'S COMPLETE WITH TECH AUTOMATIC PARKING ASSIST AND OVERALL, THE SS BRINGS WE OFTEN FIND WITH SMALL AND THERE ARE STILL PLENTY OF ON DEALER LOTS, NOT BAD FOR A POTENTIAL AND WE'LL HAVE MORE QUICKSPIN'S NO MATTER WHERE AMONG SUPERCAR MARQUES, THERE'S A CERTAIN MYSTIQUE THAT WHETHER, IT'S THAT UNIQUE SOUND, OR JUST THEIR UNDENIABLE AND NONE OF THAT HAS CHANGED TO COME OUR WAY, SOMETHING DIFFERENT ABOUT IT.

* YOU SURE CAN'T TELL BUT THERE IS INDEED THIS 2017 LAMBORGHINI HURACAN THERE'S STILL THE SAME FANTASTIC BUT, THE POWER THAT IT PRODUCES TO THE REAR WHEELS INSTEAD OF YOU MIGHT THINK ALL-WHEEL DRIVE BUT IN MANY WAYS THIS REAR-DRIVE THANKS TO A LIGHTER FRONT END ALONG WITH INHERENT AWD NOW DRASTICALLY DECREASED.

NOT TO MENTION THAT OVERSTEER REMOVAL OF THE FRONT DRIVE AND THUS WEIGHT, ALSO FORCE A RECALIBRATION OF THE COUPE'S HORSEPOWER RATING 602 WITH ALL-WHEEL DRIVE, BUT, WITH ALMOST ALL OF 398 POUND-FEET OF TORQUE YOU CERTAINLY WON'T NOTICE.

AFTER, A FEW LAPS AROUND SAVANNAH, GEORGIA'S WE CAN REPORT THAT THIS HURACAN WITH EFFORTLESS EFFICIENCY.

IT'S TRULY IMPRESSIVE HOW EASY BEHIND THE WHEEL OF THIS EXOTIC, FOR CLINGING THROUGH CORNERS.

WE'VE READ SOME REVIEWERS THAT DUAL-CLUTCH TRANSMISSION SOME OTHER UNITS, AS AT FULL THROTTLE, YET SMOOTH ENOUGH NOT TO UPSET ONE MID-CORNER.

LAMBORGHINI'S ANIMA DRIVE MODES AND CORSA FOR TRACK WORK; A NEAR PERFECT EXPERIENCE.

THIS HURACAN WILL DO A STRAIGHT LONG ENOUGH, ISN'T QUITE THAT LONG, THERE IS HITTING THE BRAKES AT THAT SPEED PARACHUTE-LIKE DECELERATION, A BIT TOWARDS THE END THIS MID-ENGINE EXOTIC AND LIGHT ON ITS FEET.

SO IT'S NOT A HUGE DEPARTURE COUNTERPART, BUT THE STEERING WHERE THE 610 STEERING SEEMED HERE IN THE 580, AND ALMOST IMMEDIATE.

THE FLYING WEDGE SHAPE PRODUCES MAKING THE WHOLE VEHICLE AND CLEARLY, DRIVEN WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN, WIND BUFFETING IN THE CABIN TRIPLE DIGITS.

AND THAT'S KIND OF A BUMMER, AS ALWAYS, AND WE LIKE TO TAKE THERE IS TO HEAR IT SING.

[ENGINE REVVING SOUND] WE NEVER PASS UP OPPORTUNITIES AND WITHOUT THE ALL-WHEEL DRIVE THIS HURACAN IS A LITTLE BUT LAUNCH MODE HELPS YOU MAKE SPRINTING TO 60 IN 3.2 SECONDS.

NO SHENANIGANS THROUGHOUT JUST HEAPS OF POWER POURING ON, BY CRAZY-FAST SHIFTS, TO THE END OF THE QUARTER MILE AT 130 MILES PER HOUR.

OF COURSE, LAMBORGHINI'S TEND TO AND THIS HURACAN IS OUR TESTER'S "VERDE MANTIS" SOMEHOW SEEMS BEAUTIFUL, BUT ULTIMATELY VERY BEFITTING THAT SEXY BODY, HYBRID ALUMINUM AND CARBON THOUGH ITS COCKPIT STILL SEEMS MORE THAN FULL-SIZE AMERICANS, IT'S A SPACE WE'LL FOLD THE SEATS ARE VERY FIRM REALLY GIVING IT A COMPETITION THE AVENTADOR MAY STILL BE THE LAMBORGHINI STABLE, IF YOU HAVE TO SETTLE FOR GOVERNMENT FUEL ECONOMY RATINGS A V10; 14-CITY, 21-HIGHWAY, DO YOU GET A SIGNIFICANT ONLY 2-WHEELS POWERING YOU DOWN WHY YES, YOU DO, THE REAR WHEEL ALMOST 40-GRAND LESS THAN SO, THERE'S NO DENYING THAT FULLY A MEMBER OF THE SUPERCAR AND AS IS USUALLY THE CASE, VARIATIONS ON THE THEME THERE'S A HURACAN FOR EVERYONE; FOR NOW, THIS 2017 REAR WHEEL OUR WISH LIST.

WELL THAT'S OUR SHOW, NOW, FOR MORE MOTORWEEK ; PODCASTS, HEAD ON OVER TO AND I HOPE YOU'LL JOIN US WHEN TOYOTA TRIES TO SPICE UP THE ALL NEW CAMRY.

AND WE GRAB THE WHEEL OF THE GHIBLI SPORT SEDAN.
