MADE IN AMERICA.

STATE FARM IS PROUD TO SUPPORT John: VOLKSWAGEN HAS A HOST OF CROSSOVERS HITTING THE MARKET.

BUT IF YOU REALLY DON'T WANT AND THINK THAT A COMPACT WILL FILL YOUR NEEDS; SETTING YOUR SIGHTS ON A 5-DOOR WAGON THAT IS A TRUE * THE 2017 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF A SIMPLE FORMULA USED BY SUBARU, IF YOU WANT TO GO WAY BACK.

TAKE A STATION WAGON, MAKE SOME FORM OF 4X4 SYSTEM ADD A TOUCH OF EXTERIOR AND VOILA; A FUN LITTLE THAT'S AS EASY TO DRIVE THAT'S THE VW GOLF ALLTRACK.

[ENGINE STARTS UP] LIKE, THE GOLF SPORTWAGEN OUTPUT FROM ITS 1.8 LITER AT 170 HORSEPOWER.

BUT ITS 199 POUND-FEET OF TORQUE IN THE SPIRIT OF VW, A 6-SPEED THE OPTION BEING A DSG THINGS, WE'VE ALWAYS PRAISED INCLUDING ITS SUPER-SOLID FEEL, AND FUN DISPOSITION, ADD IN THAT YOU NOW SENSE ANYWHERE IN THE ALLTRACK, WE STILL THINK, IS BRILLIANT, ONCE WE OPENED IT UP TO FIND UNOBSTRUCTED CARGO SPACE.

THERE'S 30.4 CUBIC-FEET FOR 66.5 IF YOU FOLD THE SEATBACKS THAT'S JUST SHORT OF MOST AND MUCH MORE THAN THE TYPICAL AS FOR THE DRIVER'S SPACE, TO HELP IT FEEL A STEP ABOVE INCLUDING, NICER MATERIALS IT'S NOT SUV ROOMY, TO GET COMFORTABLE UP FRONT, EXPECTED ROOM IN BACK.

THE TOUCH SCREEN INTERFACE AS MUCH AS IT ONCE DID, LOOKS A BIT OUTDATED.

BUT FOR 2018, ALLTRACK'S GAIN WITH MORE FEATURES.

VW STILL LEAVES PLENTY OF MANUAL AND THEY ALL WORK VERY WELL.

MORE PERSONALITY HAS BEEN NOW, WE'D STOP SHORT OF CALLING BUT WE VERY MUCH LIKE, THE USUAL BLACK, AS IT HELPS PERHAPS EVEN CLASSY; MORE SO THAN BACK COUNTRY.

GROUND CLEARANCE IS UP ONLY AT 6.9.

AND THAT DOES TAKE AWAY FROM EXPERIENCE, SOMEWHAT.

BODY ROLL IS NOT THAT MUCH BUT WE DID EXPERIENCE, THAT GAVE US PAUSE AT FIRST.

UNTIL, WE REALIZED THAT WE WERE SO THERE'S NO ARGUING, IT JUST DOESN'T HAVE THAT PERHAPS WE STILL HAD WHEN WE TOOK TO THE SLALOM WHILE, THE ENGINE IS WILLING, AT LAUNCH; QUESTIONING YOUR MOTIVES, ONCE WE GOT IT ROLLING, IN A FINE 7.4 SECONDS.

THAT SAME TARDY FEEL EXISTS IN REALLY STRETCHING OUT SHIFTS.

15.8 WAS OUR BEST QUARTER MILE WE'D CONSIDER A 122 FOOT AVERAGE A TOUCH LONG THESE DAYS, BE VERY STABLE, HAD A NICE FIRM FEEL.

AS FOR WHEN THE GOING GETS AN OFF ROAD SETTING HAS BEEN IT MODULATES TRACTION-CONTROL TO MATCH ROUGHER TERRAIN.

TOGETHER, 4MOTION ALL-WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM, ON THAT NOTE, ACTIVE SAFETY EMERGENCY BRAKING IS AVAILABLE.

GOVERNMENT FUEL ECONOMY RATINGS 22-CITY, 32-HIGHWAY, FOR A SLIGHTLY BETTER THAN 12.7 BARRELS OF ANNUAL OIL AND 5.7 TONS OF CO2 EMITTED.

WITH BASE PRICING OF $26,670, BY ANY MEANS; A BASE SUBARU CROSSTREK, A 4MOTION SPORTWAGON.

WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR FOR A TRUE SUBARU-FIGHTER AND WHILE THIS 2017 VOLKSWAGEN AND THERE'S A LOT TO LIKE MANY WILL FIND IT HARD TO STILL, NO SUBARU DELIVERS DRIVER SO, JUST LIKE THE REST OF VW HAS DONE ALMOST EVERYTHING SETTING ON THE RIGHT TRACK FOR * THE MUSTANG/CAMARO GRUDGE MATCH THE DAY THE CAMARO WENT ON SALE TO FORD'S 2-YEAR OLD PONY CAR AND FROM THE START, WAS THE VIRTUALLY RACE READY WELL, OUR ROGER MECCA IS ALWAYS AND WHEN HE HAD A CHANCE TO HE QUICKLY BUCKLED UP FOR [ENGINE REVVING] Roger Mecca: CLASSIC AMERICAN PONY CARS, COMES TO MIND FOR CAR FANS JUST LIKE THIS SHELBY GT350.

BUT NOT ME.

Roger: I LIKE THE MUSTANG TOO, THE QUINTESSENTIAL CLASSIC THE ONE THAT PUT FORD ON THEIR * BY 1967, WERE ALREADY ON THE ROAD.

TO COMPETE, THE "BOWTIE BRIGADE" TURNED TO BUT IT LACKED THE STYLING OF THE MUSTANG.

SO, GM ENGINEERS CAME UP WITH WITH ONE GOAL IN MIND: TO BEAT THE MUSTANG IN EVERY IN FACT, WHAT THE NAME CAMARO MEANT, "IT'S A SMALL FEROCIOUS ANIMAL CHEVY MADE A LOT OF DIFFERENT OVER THE FIRST FEW YEARS, BUT THIS IS THE ONE THAT THE 1969 Z/28.

Chip Miller: THIS PARTICULAR GM CAR OF ALL TIME.

Roger: CHIP MILLER IS THE OWNER OUTSIDE OF BALTIMORE, SPECIALIZING IN RARE AND EXOTIC BUT HE'S ALSO, AND HAS BEEN SINCE HE WAS Chip: I THINK, THIS CAR BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN AS BEING JUST A VERY A VERSATILE STREET CAR, AMERICAN MUSCLE, Roger: THE Z/28s MAIN RIVAL WAS BUT IN TERMS OF SALES, THE '69 Z/28 OUTSOLD THE BOSS EVEN IN TERMS OF TOTAL CHEVY HAD CLOSED THE GAP SELLING ONLY 50,000 FEWER IN JUST THREE SHORT YEARS, BECOME A SERIOUS ADVERSARY FOR I LOVE A GOOD UNDERDOG STORY THAT'S WHAT THE CAMARO WAS.

AT THE TIME, THAT EVERYBODY WAS CHASING AFTER BUT IN A LOT OF WAYS, THE $458 Z/28 PACKAGE GAVE BETTER SUSPENSION AND FOR THE OPTION OF 4-WHEEL AND THOUGH, PRECISE STEERING DON'T ALWAYS GO HAND IN HAND, CONFIDENCE TO PUNCH HOW TWISTY THE ROADS GOT.

AND BY DESIGN, FAST LAPS ON A TRACK WITH BUT FOR SOME CONSUMERS, Roger: A STRAIGHT LINE SPEEDSTER, BUT IT GOT TO 60 MILES AN HOUR AND IT WAS BUILT FOR AND ON THE RACE TRACK WINNING THE TRANS AM IN BOTH 1968 AND 1969.

RACING CONDITIONS DEMANDED TO DELIVER TOP END POWER, MOST OF THE TIME.

BUT THAT ALSO MEANS, BUT THAT ALL CHANGES ONCE GET UP AROUND 3 OR 4,000 RPM A ROCKET SHIP.

AND THE WAY THIS 30 MIGHT AS WELL FEEL LIKE 100.

SO WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE?

WELL, THERE'S NO AC AND DRIVING WILL GO FROM UNCOMFORTABLE TO THE LACK OF POWER STEERING AND OR HEAVY TRAFFIC A LABOR INTENSIVE ENDEAVOR.

AND WHILE, YOU WILL DEFINITELY MIGHTY ROAR, BUT TRUST ME WHEN I SAY THIS: I'VE HAD THE PRIVILEGE CARS OVER THE YEARS, I'VE ACTUALLY WANTED TO TAKE BUT THIS ONE IS.

John: IT TAKES A LOT OF WORK TO SOMETHING OUR PAT GOSS Pat Goss: NO MATTER IF YOU HAVE IF IT HAS NICE PAINT YOU WANT AND THERE IS SOME WAYS AND WE HAVE WITH US ERIC TO GIVE US SOME POINTERS.

ERIC, WELCOME TO GOSS' GARAGE.

Eric: THANK YOU VERY MUCH Pat: ALRIGHT, TELL US ABOUT IT.

Eric: SO, WHAT WE'VE DONE PAINT PROTECTION FILM ON SO WHAT IT IS, AN AUTOMOTIVE CLEAR COAT ON THE BACK OF IT.

APPLIED JUST LIKE WINDOW TINT TO GET IT THE WAY YOU WANT, ONTO THE PAINTED SURFACE JUST AND WE'VE GOT A 30 INCH KIT THE LEADING EDGE OF THE FRONT AND MATCHING FENDER LINE, WHERE TYPICALLY, THE MAIN IMPACT AREAS OF SO, THE TECHNOLOGY, IS OUR SELF-HEALING FILM.

SO, WHAT DO I MEAN BY IT'S GOT ELASTOMER POLYMERS IF 20 MINUTES OUT IN THE SUN Pat: YOU HAVE A RATHER UGLY WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO Eric: YEAH, AND WHAT I'M GOING TO DO IS CAPABILITIES OF THE FILM.

WHAT I'M GOING TO DO AND GO RIGHT INTO THE FILM, INTO THE FILM, HOT WATER ON IT AND COME RIGHT Pat: INTERESTING.

Eric: IF THAT KIND OF IT WOULD HEAL OUT ON ITS OWN, BUT THE FILM WILL.

Pat: ALRIGHT...NOW, FROM TIME TO TIME IS GRAFFITI.

WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH THAT?

Eric: WELL, UNFORTUNATELY, EVERY NOW AND THEN, THE FILM CAN EASILY HANDLE OR SOLUTION TO TAKE IT OFF.

Pat: ALRIGHT...NOW, I GUESS IS THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME FOR TRADE IN YOU'RE GOING TO GET Eric: THAT'S CORRECT, IT'S ABOUT THE CAR YOU LOVE NO MATTER WHAT, IF YOU'RE LEASING A CAR ON ONCE YOU TURN THAT CAR IN AND THE SET OF KEYS, A SET OF KEYS BACK, THE LEASING COMPANY MIGHT HIT THE CONDITION OF HOW THE CAR SO, IT'S BETTER TO FINANCE AND THEN, AH, YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY Pat: GOT IT, ERIC THANK YOU.

AND IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION, DROP ME A LINE.

RIGHT HERE, John: A BRAND NEW CAR, AND A KEY FOB.

THAT'S ALL WE NEED FOR BY NOW, YOU KNOW, UNDER GM HOODS.

NOW, THEY'RE PUTTING THEIR ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE CALLAWAY AEROWAGEN PACKAGE.

THE COUPE REAR HATCH IS A SHOOTING BRAKE DESIGNED BY NOW, THE TERM SHOOTING BRAKE, 19TH CENTURY BRITAIN.

IT DESCRIBED VEHICLES EQUIPPED FOR HUNTING.

OVER THE YEARS, A VARIETY OF MODELS...OFTEN, AND NOW, WE SLIPPED BEHIND THE WHEEL Z06 CORVETTE AEROWAGEN AT JUST BREATHE ON THE GAS POURS OUT OF THE SUPERCHARGED V8 HANDLING IS PHENOMENAL AROUND CALLAWAY'S DYNAMIC AEROWAGEN ADDING ABOUT 15 GRAND BUT, THE RESULT IS UNIQUELY BMW HAS ALWAYS HAD A UNIQUE TAKE AND THE REDESIGNED 2018 IS PROOF.

WHEN IT WAS INTRODUCED IN 2003, COMPACT CROSSOVER FROM KNOWN MOSTLY FOR ITS PERFORMANCE NOW, IN ITS 3RD GENERATION, BUT MOST EXTERIOR DIMENSIONS THE ALPHA NUMERIC NAMING CHANGES THE 28I WITH ITS TURBO CHARGED WHILE, A NEW M PERFORMANCE MODEL.

248 HORSEPOWER IN THE 4-BANGER THE STRAIGHT 6, THAT'S ULTRA-SMOOTH AND HANDLES XDRIVE NOW, SEEMS EVEN MORE DYNAMIC DAMPER CONTROL IS WHILE, OUR M40I CAME WITH Greg Carloss: THE THING IS THAT IT HAS THIS LIGHTWEIGHT I DON'T QUITE REMEMBER GETTING IT'S ACTUALLY, AND I SAY THAT WITH SOME A LONG TERM X1, IT DOES HAVE A STIFF SUSPENSION, AND I THINK, THAT'S WHAT BMW THIS X3 BUT YOU STILL HAVE AND THE FEELING OF SOLIDITY John: AS YOU WOULD EXPECT, EXCELLENT THROUGHOUT, ARE DRIVER-ORIENTED.

TECHNOLOGY ALSO IMPROVES.

THE HEAD-UP DISPLAY GROWS THE TOUCH SCREEN STRETCHES TO AND BMW GESTURE CONTROL IS SO THE BMW FAITHFUL WHO CRAVE AND UTILITY SHOULD FIND THIS AT DEALERS NOW, STARTS UNDER $43,000; THE 2017 JEEP RENEGADE AN ICONIC AMERICAN BRAND, MADE IN ITALY, IT SHARES AND IS SOLD IN OVER 100 WHEN IT DEBUTED FOR IT WAS EASY TO MISTAKE BUT, WE FOUND IT HAD SOME ESPECIALLY, IN THE TRAILHAWK IN FACT, JEEP MAKES A RENEGADE INCLUDING THIS GLOSS-BLACK BOTH 4X2 AND 4X4 ALTITUDES EITHER RENEGADE ENGINES: 1.4 LITER TURBO-4 WITH OR THE 180 HORSEPOWER WITH A 9-SPEED AUTOMATIC.

OUR 2.4 4X4 PROVED EVEN MORE IT SHOWED AN IMPRESSIVE AMOUNT AND THERE WAS MINIMAL ROLL BASED ON LATITUDE TRIM, IS AVAILABLE NOW STARTING AND WE'LL HAVE MORE WHILE, THE GIULIA SEDAN ALFA ROMEO'S PLACE IN THE EURO THESE DAYS NO BRAND CAN REALLY COMPETE STATESIDE WITHOUT AND INDEED, A PART OF ALFA'S RETURN STRATEGY SO, LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THIS IF MORE FAMILIAR EUROPEAN BRANDS A LITTLE NERVOUS.

* THE 2018 ALFA ROMEO STELVIO AT THE RIGHT TIME, AS EVEN UTILITY VEHICLES CONTINUE SO IT'S NOT JUST A GOOD IDEA FOR IT'S REALLY A NECESSITY.

AND WHILE, NO ONE MAY HAVE SEEN IT ALMOST MAKES SENSE AS CAR MAKERS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO THE SAME AMOUNT OF PERFORMANCE, AND EVEN EFFICIENCY AS THEIR WHILE GIVING BUYERS MORE BEHIND THE WHEEL OF THIS THINGS ARE VERY QUIET IT'S VERY STABLE, AND LIKE DRIVES MORE LIKE A TALL A CROSSOVER-STYLE UTILITY.

SEATS ARE MORE THAN COMFORTABLE, A SPORTIER RIDE, WILL GET YOU SOME PHENOMENAL [ENGINE REVVING] FOR NOW, A SMOOTH-RUNNING IT OFFERS BEST IN CLASS STANDARD ACCOMPANIED BY 306 POUND-FEET OF AT FULL SONG, IT SOUNDS MORE IN OPPOSITE FASHION FROM THE STELVIO IS BASED ON, A LITTLE WHILE LONGER FOR QUADRIFOGLIO VERSION TO ARRIVE.

HUGE COLUMN-MOUNTED PADDLE TO CONTROL THE 8-SPEED WITH GREAT PRECISION, MANUAL CONTROL, ALL STELVIO'S ARE ALL-WHEEL NOW, IT DOESN'T FEEL LEAPS THAN THE COMPETITION, THE OPPORTUNITY TO DRIVE THEM BUT IT SURE DOES FEEL AND SUPER CAPABLE.

ZERO-60 IS 5.4 SECONDS, THE GIULIA 2.0.

LIKE GIULIA, THERE'S LEAVE IT IN DYNAMIC AND YOU WON'T FIND STEERING IS QUICK, WITH LOADS OF GRIP WITH ALFA'S Q4 ALL-WHEEL THE FRONT WHEELS ONLY ARE FED OTHERWISE, IT OPERATES AS NOW, STELVIO PERFORMS JUST FINE AS WELL, THE IMPRESSION THAT'S NOT AT 111.0 INCHES, WHEELBASE IS BUT WITH A LITTLE MORE OVERALL LENGTH COMES IN ABOUT FOR THE MOST PART IT SHARES BUT LINES ARE A LITTLE MORE ESPECIALLY DOWN THE SIDES.

THERE ARE NINE DIFFERENT RANGING FROM STANDARD EVEN THE BACK END TREATMENT WE ALMOST WISH ALFA WOULD HAVE EVEN THOUGH, WE ALL KNOW TO MOST BASE STELVIO'S COME FAIRLY WELL BUT MOST BUYERS WILL EITHER OR SPORT ROAD FOR UPGRADES THAT WOOD AND NICER LEATHER FOR ALUMINUM TRIM FOR LIKE THE GIULIA, OF ANY FIAT-CHRYSLER LINEAGE; AND FINISH ARE ON PAR WITH IT'S A VERY INVITING SPACE, ELECTRONIC SHIFTER TO DETRACT REAR SEAT ROOM IS NOT PLENTIFUL, BUT CERTAINLY DOABLE FOR CAPACITY IN THE CARGO HOLD, BUT SHORT OF MOST RIVALS.

FOLDING THE REAR SEATBACK TO 56.5 CUBIC-FEET.

ALSO, LIKE THE GIULIA SEDAN, THE BUT LIES MORE IN THE MIDDLE AND MIDDLE-WEIGHT SUVs.

GOVERNMENT FUEL ECONOMY RATINGS AND 24-COMBINED.

FOR A REASONABLE ENERGY IMPACT YEARLY OIL USE WITH 6.0 TONS STELVIO BASE PRICING IS A VERY THOUGH OPTIONS ARE MANY WE FIGURE MOST STELVIO'S ACCORDING TO THE FOLKS AT ALFA, YET ANOTHER UTILITY VEHICLE INTO VERY NICE IMPORT AND DOMESTIC UNLESS IT WAS THE MOST POWERFUL, IN ITS CLASS.

THE 2018 ALFA ROMEO STELVIO IT'S A FABULOUS EFFORT.

SO, ALFA'S BIGGEST CHALLENGE TO TRY IT OUT.

ONCE THEY DO, WELL, THAT'S OUR SHOW, NOW, FOR MORE MOTORWEEK ; PODCASTS, CRUISE ON OVER TO AND I HOPE YOU'LL JOIN US WHEN FORD REDESIGNS YOU CAN SEE AND FEEL, YET, ANOTHER NEW 911 TO CRAVE.
