STATE FARM IS PROUD TO SUPPORT John: THE SUBARU BRAND WITH RISING SALES IN EACH OF THE REASONS FOR THAT ARE MANY, BUILDING HIGHLY RELIABLE CARS MOST WITH STANDARD ALL-WHEEL SO LET'S SEE IF THEIR NEWEST CAN KEEP THAT HOT STREAK GOING.

* THIS 2017 SUBARU IMPREZA COMPACT NEW GLOBAL ARCHITECTURE, THE FIRST IMPREZA BUILT HERE AT THEIR ASSEMBLY PLANT IN BOTH SEDAN, ARE ONCE AGAIN AVAILABLE; WE OPTED FOR THE SPORTIER NO WORD ON WHEN THE STI VARIANTS [ENGINE STARTS UP] SO, THERE'S STILL ONLY 2.0 LITER BOXER-4 BUT, A HOST OF NEW PARTS, RESULT IN A SMALL 148 TO 152 HORSEPOWER ALONG WITH A 5-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION BUT MOST WILL COME EQUIPPED AND WHILE IT'S BEEN ONE OF THE OTHERS ARE IMPROVING AND THIS ALL BUT BASE TRIM GET MANUAL AND YES, EXTERIOR STYLING HAS CERTAINLY BUT WITH SUCH A FAMILIAR FACE, THINGS DON'T APPEAR RADICALLY AND MOST SUBARU OWNERS WILL A REALLY GOOD THING.

THE 5-DOOR HATCH IS NOTICEABLY AND THE TAIL LIGHTS TAKE UP SPACE IS EVEN MORE NOTICEABLY AND SUBARU TRADEMARKS OF AND GREAT VISIBILITY ARE SEATING POSITION IS FAIRLY HIGH, THE FIRM SIDE.

THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM MAKES AND THAT IS VERY MUCH THE SCREEN ITSELF IS BIGGER, TRADITIONAL CONTROL KNOBS THE FAMILIAR UPPER DASH DISPLAY AND THERE ALWAYS SEEMS TO BE IT DOES PROVIDE LOTS OF ALTHOUGH IT'S JUST OUTSIDE OVER IN THE DRIVER'S I.P., PRESENTED IN A VERY CLEAR WITH MORE SPACE FOR REAR SEAT CARGO VOLUME FALLS A BIT TO BUT MAX CAPACITY IS "MAX-ER" AT WITHOUT A DOUBT, FEELS MUCH MORE SOLID ON PREVIOUS GENERATIONS.

JUST ABOUT EVERY ASPECT OF THROTTLE RESPONSE IS CERTAINLY AND IT'S AN OVERALL MORE BEHIND THE WHEEL.

YET, THAT TIGHTER DEMEANOR ADDITIONAL SOUND DEADENING, ISOLATED IN THE CABIN, VERY QUIET NATURE.

AND WITHOUT A DOUBT, THE IMPREZA WAS MUCH LESS OF AND MORE STIMULATING THAN IT'S IT BARNSTORMED THROUGH OUR AND A "GLUED TO THE PAVEMENT" STEERING FEEDBACK IS LESS AND TURN-INS WERE SO QUICK 4-WHEEL STEERING.

IT'S NOT QUITE MAZDA3 BUT CERTAINLY A DRASTIC WITH TIMES OF 9.6 SECONDS TO 60, AT 81 MILES PER HOUR, BUT THE ENGINE IS VERY FEEL BETTER IN REAL WORLD USE.

BY THE WAY, THE SAME AS THE LAST IMPREZA SUBARU'S AVAILABLE EYESIGHT AND IT WORKED FLAWLESSLY CRASH BARRIER TEST; THIS YEAR IT ADDS REVERSE GOVERNMENT FUEL ECONOMY RATINGS 28-CITY, 37-HIGHWAY, THOUGH OUR AVERAGE WAS A BIT PER GALLON OF REGULAR.

STILL, THE ENERGY IMPACT SCORE WITH USE OF JUST 10.6 BARRELS C02 EMISSIONS OF 4.7 TONS.

BASE PRICING IS UP JUST $100 VERY COMPETITIVE CONSIDERING SEDANS START AT $19,215, THE 2017 SUBARU IMPREZA, A LEAP FORWARD AS LAST BUT TRUTH BE TOLD, TO BE HIGHLY COMPETITIVE CARS IN THE COMPACT SEGMENT.

AND BY OFFERING BOTH MORE ROOM AS WELL AS WAY MORE HANDLING IT HAS BECOME AN EVEN BETTER CONSIDER US IMPREZED.

OUR SUCCESS STORY THIS WEEK SINCE 2012, ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGERS HAVE 20 LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT BOISE.

MANY OF THOSE WERE INSTALLED THE LOCAL ELECTRIC UTILITY, THEIR INCENTIVE PROGRAM PROVIDED BUYING AND INSTALLING CHARGERS.

THAT ALLOWED THE CITY OF BOISE TO INSTALL THREE CHARGING WITH PLANS TO ADD MORE.

AND DRIVERS ARE INDEED SO FAR ABOUT 100 PLUG-INS WHOLE FOODS GROCERY ALONE.

CHARGING STATION INSTALLS TAKE KEY PARTNERS LIKE THE TREASURE Patti Best: IT TAKES THE HOST, THE STATION TO BE PART OF IT, GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, AND HELP GET THESE THINGS BUILT.

John: THESE LEVEL 2 STATIONS 6-8 HOURS, QUICK CHARGE STATIONS ARE BEING STATE'S ELECTRICAL SURGE!

* THE ORIGINAL ACURA NSX WAS THE STREETS A LITTLE OVER A HIGH-TECH EXOTIC SPORTS CAR AND NOW, THE ALL-NEW NSX HAS THE FIRST WOMAN TO LEAD SO, WE SENT OUR FYI REPORTER CALIFORNIA'S HQ FOR A CHAT WITH DYNAMIC NEW LOOK.

* Lauren Morrison: IS A WORK OF ART.

BEHIND THE MASTERPIECE?

MICHELLE CHRISTENSEN, THE PROJECT'S EXTERIOR Michelle Christensen: YOU KNOW, IT'S ALL CRITICAL, IT'S ALL Lauren: THE ART OF AUTO DESIGN Michelle: I WAS ALWAYS IN AND I WAS ALWAYS DOODLING, AND DRESSES...NO CARS.

Lauren: BUT A CHANCE ENCOUNTER HER DAD, Michelle: ONE DAY, AND HE POINTED OUT A DESIGNER, AND I WAS LIKE, "WHAT?

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT."

Lauren: AFTER GRADUATING FROM IN PASADENA IN 2005, RIGHT HERE AT ACURA...WHERE ONE INCLUDED WORKING ON THE THEN Michelle: I LEARNED JUST RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE.

Lauren: BUT IT WAS IN 2012, John: DETROIT WAS A REBIRTH FOR Lauren: WHEN SUPERCAR STARDOM Michelle: SO, APPROACHED AND WAS LIKE, AND WHAT, I MEAN, IT'S LIKE DREAM CAR!

YEAH, OF COURSE.

Lauren: ONCE SHE JOINED MICHELLE HIT THE GROUND RUNNING FROM DESIGN TO ROAD READY.

Michelle: SO THIS AREA RIGHT OF THE WHOLE CAR.

AND THIS RIGHT HERE IS FEEDING SO THIS AIR COMES FROM THE FRONT AND GETS SHOVED IN HERE.

Lauren: FORM FOLLOWS AND YOU CAN DEFINITELY Michelle: IT'S USUALLY LIKE IT'S BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN AND ENGINEERING.

WE WANTED TO USE THE STYLING TO THE COOLING, THE AERODYNAMICS, A HIGH PERFORMANCE CAR, SO WE WANTED THE STYLING ALL OF THAT.

Lauren: PULLING FROM Michelle: IN THEORY, RELATE TO THE ORIGINAL.

Lauren: THE NEW DESIGN PROVES NOT JUST WITH ITS EXOTIC SHE'S THE FIRST WOMAN TO LEAD A LIMITED PRODUCTION, SOMETHING SHE DIDN'T KNOW Michelle: SO I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW A SUPER CAR THING UNTIL BUT THAT WOULD HAVE, YEAH, BUT I THINK THAT WOULD HAVE IT'S KINDA COOL TO HEAR THAT.

Lauren: JUST LIKE I'M STILL IN HERE AT MOTORWEEK, "GETTING YOUNG WOMEN TO SEE FOR THEIR CAREERS, Michelle: I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH AT A CAR SHOW, ARE WALKING AROUND AT A CAR I THINK IT'S JUST A MATTER OF Lauren: BUT THE GLASS CEILING IS Michelle: I AM SEEING MORE LEADERSHIP ROLES, AND I'M SEEING MORE WOMEN GOING WHICH I WASN'T SEEING WHEN I FIRST STARTED, IT'S GOOD TO SEE.

Lauren: SO FELLAS, BEHIND THE WHEEL; WHAT WE ALL DRIVE.

John: CARS ARE BECOMING BUT SOME SIMPLE LESSONS THIS WEEK PAT TAKES US BACK TO Pat Goss: TODAY'S TIRES HAVE ALL ON THEM.

AND TO MAKE ALL OF THAT WORK WIRE HARNESSES THEY'RE ALL OVER WHERE YOU CAN'T SEE THEM.

THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF WIRES, SOMETHING LIKE WE SEE IN THIS AND CORROSION LIKE THAT COULD ON THE CAR.

NOW, IF YOU'RE IN TO DO IT WELL, FIRST YOU HAVE TO KNOW CAN BE USED TO TREAT SPECIFIC THINGS LIKE BATTERY CLEANERS ALL SORTS OF DIFFERENT THINGS.

USED THE ONE THAT'S DESIGNED AND DON'T FORGET, IS YOUR FRIEND.

INSIDE OF A WIRE CONNECTOR AND KEEPING MOISTURE OUT NOW, IF YOU LIKE TO TEST THINGS BUT REMEMBER, HERE WE HAVE AN IT CANNOT BE USED ON A MODERN ELECTRICAL ENERGY THROUGH SOME AND IT COULD DAMAGE WHAT YOU NEED IS A DVOM... DIGITAL VOLT-OHM METER.

THEY PRODUCE A DIFFERENT SO THAT THEY DON'T DAMAGE THEN OVER HERE, WE HAVE SOME THIS IS A VERY SIMPLE TESTER, INFORMATION, BUT IT HELPS THE CONDITION OF YOUR BATTERY AND OVER HERE, WE HAVE THIS AMP-PROBE GOES AROUND THE AMOUNT OF CURRENT FLOWING NOW, THE BIG THING HERE IS TO THAT YOU USE AROUND A MODERN CAR, AND THAT INCLUDES YOUR YOUR OLD FASHIONED TEST LIGHT, IT CAN DO A LOT OF DAMAGE TO AND IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION DROP ME A LINE RIGHT HERE AT John: A FULL TANK OF SOUNDS LIKE THE PERFECT PORSCHE HAS LONG EARNED OUR MACHINES AND THEN ARTFULLY THE 2018 PORSCHE 911 CARRERA GTS THAT WAY.

THE CLASSIC 911 SILHOUETTE ADDS AND A BOLDER FRONT SPOILER.

NEWLY DEVELOPED TWIN THE 3.0 LITER, THE UPRATED 450 HORSES, ALL THAT FORCE IS REIGNED IN WITH THE STANDARD 7-SPEED OR OPTIONAL 7-SPEED PDK 0-60 STRAIGHT-LINE.

A SPORT EXHAUST MAKES IT SOUND AND AS BEFORE, SO WELL, EVEN WHEN THE CORNERS BECOME FOR THE FIRST TIME, STANDARD ON THE 911 TARGA WHICH WE DROVE ON THE WINDING Ben Davis: WE GOT IT UP TO AND WHERE NORMAL VEHICLES THE THINNER AIR, NOT ONLY STIRRED MORE AIR INTO STIRRED MY SOUL AS WELL, A FOOL ALL DAY LONG, SOMETHING OFF MY BUCKET LIST WAS THERE.

John: THE FAST EXPANDING GTS FIVE 911 MODELS, DEPENDING AND HOW FLEXIBLE YOU WANT PORSCHE FIRST BROUGHT THE TOTAL THE STREETS IN 1964 WITH THAT TRADITION CARRIES ON WITH IT'S ON SALE NOW, NOW, IN ITS THIRD GENERATION, THE MANTLE OF COMPACT PERFORMING ADMIRABLY AGAINST NOW, WITH 2017 UPDATES, VISUAL AGGRESSION; CATCHING UP OUR TEST IS 300 AWD WORE AN EVER BOOKENDED BY ANGRIER HEADLIGHTS, REAR CHANGES ARE LESS INVASIVE AND FLARED EXHAUST TIPS.

POWERTRAINS ARE CARRYOVER, 255 HORSE 3.5 LITER V6.

IT DELIVERED QUICK RESPONSE THE ALL-WHEEL DRIVE SPECIFIC INSIDE, THE INTIMATE COCKPIT LEXUS QUIET AND LOADED WITH NOW WITH REVISED STEERING LEXUS SAFETY SYSTEM PLUS THE TECHNOLOGY STAYS FRESH TOO, AND AN AVAILABLE 10.3 INCH ALL MAKE THIS SMALL SNAZZY RIDE, EVEN MORE APPEALING.

ON SALE NOW, THE 2017 LEXUS IS DESPITE RECENT HEADLINES, A POPULAR CHOICE FOR EUROPEAN THE 2017 JAGUAR XE DIESEL IS APPEAL TO AMERICAN STREETS.

THE OIL BURNING 2.0 LITER TURBO THAT'S LESS THAN THE XEs BUT THE DIESEL'S 318 POUND-FEET PUTS IT CLOSE TO THE V6 XE.

SO, OFF THE LINE THROTTLE SHIFTS ALSO COME QUICKLY, A ZF 8-SPEED AUTOMATIC, THIS COMPACT LUXURY-SPORT AND QUICK.

THE STIFF CHASSIS ALLOWS GREAT HANDLING WITH A SMOOTH YET THE XEs INTERIOR CAN BE BUT, CHOOSE THE RIGHT COLORS AND IT DELIVERS JAGUAR THE 2017 JAGUAR XE DIESEL IS $37,000.

AND WE'LL HAVE MORE John: WHILE, WE'VE BEEN SPENDING LAMBORGHINI HURACAN'S LATELY, AND ITS V12 ENGINE THAT'S MUCH PECKING ORDER.

THOUGH, THAT GAP BETWEEN THE TWO LAMBORGHINI WOULD LIKE IT, COMES OUR WAY... AND WITH IT A BRAND NEW 2017 * THE LAMBORGHINI AVENTADOR HAS JUST YOUR STANDARD RICH GUY WITH SERIOUS ON-TRACK BARELY EVER GET MORE THAN WELL, FOR THOSE FEW WHO ACTUALLY THEIR AVENTADOR'S, 2017 AVENTADOR S. THAT AFFECTION STARTS WITH THE NATURALLY ASPIRATED A BOOST OF 40 HORSEPOWER PUTS ONLY 10 LESS THAN THE STILL WITH 509 POUND-FEET OF TORQUE.

BUT, THE BIG HEART THROB IS NEW WHICH OF COURSE COMES WITH LRS FOR LAMBORGHINI REAR-WHEEL COMBINED WITH THE FRONT OR LAMBORGHINI DYNAMIC STEERING.

YOU CAN FEEL IT IN ACTION AS IT HAS AN ALMOST UNNATURAL BUT ONCE YOU LEARN TO TRUST IT THERE'S NO DOUBT IT MAKES YOU LAPS AROUND SPAIN'S CIRCUIT THAT NOT ALL OF THE ALL-WHEEL ELIMINATED, AND BAGS OF TORQUE GOING TO AND PLENTY OF GRIP TO DEAL AIDED BY IMPROVED STABILITY TURNING CAN STILL FEEL HEAVY REMAINS INTIMIDATING, YOU HAVE THROWING HALF A MILLION WE COULD ALSO, EASILY GET A FEEL AS THE MAGNETIC DAMPERS ALL-WHEEL DRIVE SOFTWARE HAS AND THE S ADDS A NEW DRIVING WHICH ALLOWS YOU TO DIAL IN THE AVENTADOR S STICKS WITH TRANSMISSION, WHICH CAN FEEL HAMPERING THE DAILY DRIVING BUT APPARENTLY IT HAS BEEN LAMBORGHINI ALSO, CLAIMS TO OTHER PARTS OF THE CAR, 4-WHEEL-STEERING BITS, OVERALL AND NOT TO WORRY, IN UNDER THREE SECONDS.

BUT EVEN WITH ALL OF THE UPDATES CONTROLLING EVERYTHING, THAT GEARHEADS WILL LOVE, VISIBILITY REMAINS ATROCIOUS EVEN IN ITS SOFTEST SUSPENSION IF YOU WANT COMFORT SEEK OUT A HURACAN AND SAVE THE AVENTADOR Ss LOOK IS BUT THE BODYWORK DOES SEE THERE'S A NEW NOSE DESIGNED AND CERTAINLY LOOKS MORE LIKEWISE, IN BACK, CONSTRUCTED OF CARBON FIBER UPDATES INSIDE INCLUDE TFT DIGITAL GAUGE DISPLAY, LAMBO COULD HAVE GONE A LITTLE BUT SINCE MOST AVENTADOR'S ARE THEY'LL LEAVE THAT UP TO YOU.

YOU'LL HAVE TO TAP INTO YOUR TRUST FUND IF YOU WANT TO AS PRICES START AT $424,845; A BASE AVENTADOR, BUT STILL THE LAMBORGHINI AVENTADOR ON THE ROAD.

JUST ABOUT EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT AND DON'T EASILY FORGET ABOUT IT AND NOW WITH THE S, SOME NEW TRICKS, IS MORE CAPABLE, WELL THAT'S OUR SHOW, NOW, FOR MORE MOTORWEEK ; PODCASTS, CRUISE ON OVER TO AND I HOPE YOU'LL WHEN WE GO OFF ROAD IN CHEVROLET COLORADO ZR2.
