STATE FARM IS PROUD TO SUPPORT John: AND SEEN THE HYPE VIDEOS.

THE DODGE CHALLENGER SRT DEMON, WITH ITS 840 HORSEPOWER HELLCAT IN 9.65 SECONDS, BUT AS WITH MOST CARS, THERE'S SO COME ALONG TO THE DARK SIDE AS WE DO SOME DOWN AND DIRTY [ENGINE REVVING] * THE 2018 DODGE CHALLENGER THAT YOU THINK IS ONLY POSSIBLE FORTUNATELY, THE HARD WORKING AND RACING TECHNOLOGY DIVISION THEY ACTUALLY MADE THIS IT SEEMS IMPLAUSIBLE WITH BUT THE DEMON WAS ACTUALLY ENGINEERS GOING CLOAK AND EVEN WORKING ON THEIR UNTIL THEY KNEW, THE BRASS WOULD DEVOUR.

WE ALL KNOW THE BASICS FOR MORE AND MORE FUEL TO REACT WITH IT, 6.2 LITER HEMI V8 UP TO AND 770 POUND-FEET OF TORQUE A FEW MORE REVS, ON PREMIUM GRADE GAS, SUCH OUTPUT ALSO DEMANDED TO 14.5 PSI TO SHOVE SAID AIR ALONG THE WAY IT PASSES THROUGH WHICH USES THE A/Cs REFRIGERANT TO REDUCE AIR TEMPS BY UP TO ON THE OTHER END OF THE ENGINE, THAT CARRIES THE POWER TO ADDED A PRODUCTION CAR NAILING KILLER LAUNCHES, AND A LINE LOCK FOR [ENGINE REVVING] NOW, WITH ALL OF THAT IN MIND, IS AT THE DRAGSTRIP, THE DEMON AND BY THAT WE MEAN DOING IN A CAR PROPERLY SET UP FOR IS SIMILAR TO HITTING A ROAD RACE CAR.

THE DEMON LAUNCHES BUT IF YOU HIT IT JUST RIGHT, GETS PUSHED TO THE REAR, AND TAKES OFF; DOWN THE TRACK WITH SURE, YOU CAN GET SOME BUT USING DRAG MODE WITH MAKES LAUNCHING SUPER SIMPLE.

ALL DEMONS COME EQUIPPED WITH THE TORQUEFLITE 8HP90 8-SPEED WHICH FIRED THROUGH GEARS AS WE MADE PASSES CONTINUOUSLY WITHOUT A HICCUP.

SO, DON'T THINK OF THIS AS A COUPLE RUNS AND GET SOME CRAZY WITH TEMPS IN THE NINETIES WE COULDN'T MATCH DODGE'S BUT WE RAN CONSISTENT LOW 10s, THE CLAIMED 2.3 SECONDS TO 60.

OTHER THINGS THAT SET STANDARD HELLCAT FARE, AND WIDE BODY STYLING THAT ADDS THE STANDARD 315/40/18 WHEELS FOR THOSE FRONT SKINNIES ARE PART OF THE $1 DEMON CRATE UNIQUE TOUCHES INSIDE, AND DEMON LOGO ON THE SEATS.

A SPEEDLOGIX 4-POINT HARNESS AS IS THE FRONT PASSENGER THOUGH, DODGE WILL THROW IT EVEN THOUGH EVERY UPDATE DRAG RACING IN MIND, IT REMAINS A VERY STREET-ABLE AND AS A VALUE ADDED BONUS, OF THE DRAG RADIALS, BETTER THAN THE HELLCAT.

NOW, YOU WOULD THINK THAT'D BE BUT DODGE HAS GOT SOMETHING ELSE IT'S THE DURANGO SRT.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT, DODGE HAS APPLIED THE SRT FOR POWER, WHICH SUPPLIES 475 HORSEPOWER THE ALL-WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM, SUSPENSION, ALL GET UPGRADED TO HANDLE IT.

THIS DURANGO WILL HIT 60 AND CLEAR THE QUARTER MILE BUT EVEN MORE IMPRESSIVE, THE FUNCTIONALITY THAT YOU BUY AS THIS DURANGO WILL TOW THERE'S A BODY KIT OF COURSE, TREATMENTS AS WELL.

THE 2018 DODGE DURANGO SRT ROLLS BUT, BACK TO THE DEMON.

FOR A TURNKEY 9-SECOND DRAG CAR, BASE PRICING OF $86,090 THAT'S LESS THAN WHAT SOME OF WERE GOING FOR.

THREE THOUSAND OF THEM WILL BE THE 2018 DODGE CHALLENGER A HELLISHLY FAST CAR, "GOD BLESS THE U.S.A.," HAVE COMBINED TO CREATE ONE OF LAY DOWN RUBBER ON AMERICA'S * WHILE, THERE HAS BEEN A "CB" IN SEEMINGLY NON-STOP SINCE 1959, THAT SET THE STAGE FOR WHAT AS THE "UNIVERSAL JAPANESE 4-CYLINDER ENGINE, STEEL CRADLE FRAME, WELL, IS OUR TWO WHEELIN'S SO LET'S RIDE ALONG IS GOING STRONG.

Brian Robinson: BUT ONE THEME THAT ALWAYS OR A MODERN INTERPRETATION UNLESS OF COURSE, THE DESIGN MUCH LIKE THIS HONDA CB1100 EX.

THIS IS ACTUALLY, THE CB1100 HERE IN AMERICA, THIS RETRO-STYLED STANDARD BUT, IT TURNS OUT IT WAS AND NOT MODERN ENOUGH TO ATTRACT SO HONDA STOPPED IMPORTING IT WELL NOW, THERE'S AN UPDATED AND HONDA HOPES THIS ONE HAS SOMETHING NEW.

SOME MAY NOT BE FANS OF THE BLENDING PAINTED, CHROMED, BUT TO ME, IT HELPS IT LOOK YOU WOULD HAVE SEEN IN THE '70s, JUST ROLLED OUT OF A HONDA AND INDEED I DID GET QUITE MY "NICE OLD BIKE" FROM CASUAL IF THEY WOULD HAVE LOOKED CLOSER AND CLEVERLY DISGUISED THEY WOULD HAVE REALIZED THAT OTHER MODERN CONSIDERATIONS INCLUDE A NEW 4.4 GALLON A SEAMLESS DESIGN, BUT TO MAKE THE FLAVOR 18-INCH SPOKE WHEELS REPLACE THE AN INLINE-4 STRETCHING ACROSS A CB HALLMARK SINCE 1969, IT'S AIR-COOLED, WITH A SIZABLE TWIN MUFFLERS ARE SMALLER THAN AND HAVE BEEN RE-TUNED TO ALLOW THE SOUND THEY EMIT IS STILL THE ENGINE MAKES REALLY BUT DELIVERS IT MORE LIKE UNLESS YOU FIND YOURSELF WHERE IT GETS A LITTLE MORE IT ALSO GETS, UPPER REGISTERS OF THE TACH, TO RUN IT UP THERE IF YOU DON'T TYPICAL 6-SPEED TRANSMISSION A NEW ASSIST SLIPPER CLUTCH THAT SMOOTHS OUT DOWNSHIFTS.

THE EX LOOKS SMALL AND RIDES THOUGH, IT STAYS PRETTY SOLID NOT ANYWHERE NEAR THE FLEX IN THE '70s, OF NOSE DIVE ON BRAKING.

ALL DAY RIDES, NOT A PROBLEM; OFFERING GOOD COMFORT, TWIN REAR SHOCKS SOAKING UP ALL AND A CLASSIC RELAXED RIDING GAUGES ARE CLEAR AND EASY TO NESTLED IN BETWEEN; AND NOW TRIMMED IN CHROME.

PRICING STARTS AT $12,199, THE MANY MOTORCYCLE BARGAINS BUT THAT'S CERTAINLY NOT TOO BAD FOR A DAILY TRIP DOWN AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHERE WITH THE 2017 CB1100 EX.

John: YOUR TIRES TAKE SO PAT GOSS HAS SOME ADVICE ON SO THEY WON'T TIRE OUT TOO SOON.

Pat Goss: BACK IN THE DAY SOMETHING CALLED THEY WERE THESE WIRE THINGS THAT ABOUT HERE, AND WHEN YOU GOT CLOSE TO THEY MADE A LOUD SCRATCHING AND YOU KNEW YOU WERE WELL THIS DRIVER, TO USE A TIRE AS A MODERN CURB PRETTY MUCH DESTROYED THE TIRE.

AND SPEAKING OF TIRE DESTROYERS, NUMBER ONE RIGHT HERE.

THIS TIRE HAS OBVIOUSLY COULD BE A PIECE OF WOOD, IN THE HIGHWAY, IT WAS STRAIGHT ACROSS AND IT AND SPEAKING OF DESTROYING, A FEW TIRES AT THE TRACK AND THIS IS AN EXAMPLE.

THIS IS EXTREME SERVICE IS JUST LOST OF HARD CORNERING, WELL, YOU MIGHT EXPECT TO SEE ON YOUR TIRES.

NOW, YOU LOOK AT A TIRE, AND EVENLY, BUT YOU COMPARE AND YOU SEE ALL THESE LITTLE ALL OF THOSE CUTS AND EVERYTHING ARE TO HELP THE TIRE GAIN HELP DISSIPATE WATER ONCE THEY'RE GONE, WHERE THE TIRE LOSES A LOT OF AND ITS ABILITY TO GET RID OF SO THIS TIRE IS DEFINITELY MOST IMPORTANT THING AND THAT IS USING A TIRE EVEN THOUGH YOUR CAR HAS TPMS THE ONE WITH JUST THE LIGHT... NOT THE DIRECT READ OUT, TELL YOU WHEN SOMETHING IS NOT TELL YOU WHAT IS BEST, OR SAFETY, OR ANYTHING ELSE.

ALRIGHT, NOW LAST BUT NOT LEAST, INSIDE OF A TIRE.

THIS IS SOMETHING WE'VE SEEN EVEN AFTER SHORT DISTANCES SO IF YOU HAVE A TIRE THAT NEEDS MAKE SURE THAT THEY DEMOUNT IT, SEE IF THERE'S ANY OF THIS AND IF THERE IS THE TIRE NEEDS AND IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION, RIGHT HERE, AT MOTORWEEK .

John: THERE ARE A LOT OF GREAT AND WE TRIED OUT MORE OF THEM * THE 2018 GMC TERRAIN ADDS A NEW WHILE, STILL A PLATFORM MATE OF THE NEW TERRAIN LOOKS ALMOST TOTALLY DIFFERENT INSIDE THE 2-ROW CROSSOVER IS LESS ADDING AN ACADIA-STYLE FRONT THERE'S EVEN A TRENDY THE TERRAIN IS TIDIER LOSING AROUND 400 POUNDS, SO IT'S MORE IN LINE WITH LAST YEAR'S NATURALLY ASPIRATED REPLACED WITH THREE NEW 1.5 AND 2.0 LITER GAS FUELED, 1.6 LITER TURBO-DIESEL.

Garick Zikan: SO HERE WE ARE THE NEW GMC TERRAIN.

WE'VE TRIED ALL THREE ENGINES, THE TURBO DIESEL AND THIS IS IT HAS THE LEAST HORSEPOWER, AS THE 2.0 LITER GAS ENGINE.

IT ALSO GETS, PART OF OUR DRIVE INVOLVED AND PASSING GOING UPHILL.

THIS TURBO DIESEL HAS THE POWER John: THAT'S 240 POUND-FEET OF WORKING WITH A 6-SPEED THE GAS ENGINES ARE MATCHED THEY ALL SMOOTHLY MANAGED THE THE HILLS AROUND PITTSBURGH.

STEERING FEEL IS VERY DIRECT.

GMC'S NEW ELECTRONIC PRECISION AND TRIGGERS AT THE BOTTOM OF AND SEEMS VERY INTUITIVE TO USE.

THIS NEW TERRAIN HAS BUT REMAINS COMFORTABLE ON SALE NOW.

THE PRICE STARTS AT JUST UNDER IN A WORLD WHERE SUVs DOMINATE, A CAR THAT FEELS THIS GOOD.

THAT CAR IS THE 2017 FROM ITS SIZE, TO THE LATEST GEN 2.0 LITER IT'S DESIGNED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE THE NEW POWER PLANT BRINGS TORQUE INCREASES BY 3 TO 258.

AN 8-SPEED AUTOMATIC MANAGES THAT FORCE.

THE RIDE IS SMOOTH UTTER CONFIDENCE... Zach Maskell: BMW'S REMAIN YOU CAN DRIVE.

WHILE, THE 3-SERIES FROM THE YOU CAN STILL GET THAT SIMILAR THE STEERING IS QUICK, AND THIS NEW ENGINE IS SMOOTH John: EVER SINCE WAS LAUNCHED HERE 3-YEARS AGO, THE CORE OF WHAT ENTHUSIASTS THE 2017 BMW 230I MOVES ON SALE NOW, PRICES START AT XDRIVE ADDS ANOTHER 2000.

DESPITE BEING AN ENTRY-LEVEL THE 2018 KIA RIO ADDS TO WE'VE DRIVEN THE RIO SINCE FIRST BEING INTRODUCED THIS FOURTH GEN SUBCOMPACT INFLUENCES, THE NEW PLATFORM IS MORE RIGID, OUR FIRST DRIVE IN BEGAN ON COBBLESTONE STREETS DOWNTOWN BALTIMORE, AND EVENTUALLY COUNTRY ROADS.

ALL ALONG THE WAY THE RIDE THE 6-SPEED AUTOMATIC THE 1.6 LITER IN-LINE 4 WITH SUFFICIENT PUNCH AND IT'S ADEQUATE AT INSIDE, IT'S QUITE QUIET, AND FEELS MORE SPACIOUS THAN THE RIO'S EURO TREND WITH THE STAND-UP TOUCH SCREEN.

IN SEDAN AND HATCHBACK, LATER THIS YEAR STARTING AROUND AND WE'LL HAVE MORE THERE'S A NEW MAZDA MIATA AND IT'S MORE THAN JUST IT'S SOMETHING ENTIRELY IT'S THE MX-5 RF, NOW IS IT JUST A MIATA THAT'S OR IS IT A BETTER MIATA PERIOD?

WELL, WE FEEL IT'S OUR DUTY * SPORTS CARS HAVE BEEN IN A BIT THOUGH THE MAZDA MX-5 MIATA HAS BUT JUST TO ENSURE THE FOR 2017, MAZDA HAS SOMETHING THIS MIATA RF.

MUCH DIFFERENT THAN POWER RETRACTABLE HARD TOP, THIS A SOMEWHAT COMPLICATED DESIGN VERY SMOOTHLY, OF THE ROOF ONLY, AS THE SOFT TOP, LEAVING TRUNK YOU COULD CALL IT A TARGA, IT'S MUCH BETTER IN EVERY WAY AND AS SHARP AS IT LOOKS WE CAN SEE A LOT OF BUYING IT FOR THAT REASON ALONE.

THE RF ALSO INCLUDES, SOME ADDITIONAL SOUND-DEADENING SO ENGINE AND TIRE NOISE A PLUS IF YOU'RE PLANNING LONGER THE RF LOOKS MUCH DIFFERENT IN UNIQUE ENOUGH THAT IT WASN'T AS A MIATA TO MANY THE RF WEIGHS ABOUT 110 POUNDS BUT YOU WON'T NOTICE IT IN AND WE LOVE THAT EVERYTHING ALL IS RIGHT WHERE YOU EXPECT IT THE STANDARD 6-SPEED MANUAL.

BUT THAT ALSO MEANS, AND MINIMAL SMALL ITEM STORAGE NO OTHER CHANGES INSIDE, TO SET THE TOP IN MOTION IN THE GAUGES THAT WILL MAKE ITS PLENTY OF HEADROOM REMAINS, IT WAS WIND NOISE.

TOO MUCH OF IT MADE IT INSIDE, [ENGINE STARTS UP] NOTHING DEVIATES FROM THE NORM UNDER-HOOD LIES A SKACTIV-G AND 148 POUND-FEET OF TORQUE.

[TIRES SCREECHING] MAYBE IT WAS THE TOP'S ADDED BUT OUR RF MANUAL WAS A FEW THAN THE LAST CLOTH TOP ONLY MODERATE THROTTLE AT LAUNCH, AS THERE'S NOT ENOUGH BOTH CLUTCH AND SHIFTER WORK AS ALLOWING YOU TO MOVE QUICKLY WE FINISHED THE QUARTER MILE AT 92 MILES PER HOUR.

AND WITHOUT A DOUBT, NO MATTER THE MX-5 REMAINS A GREAT PLACE SURROUNDING YOUR FAVORITE OR OUR CHOICE, THE CURVES OF NORTHERN VIRGINIA'S DOMINION WE KNOW THAT A HARDTOP CAN TO A CAR'S CHASSIS, THAT EITHER, AS THE BASIC CAR BOTH THE SUSPENSION HAVE BEEN RECALIBRATED, WE NOTICED A LITTLE LESS FEEL THOUGH, REACTION IS STILL THROTTLE RESPONSE ALSO FELT THE RF IS ONLY AVAILABLE IN CLUB WITH BASE PRICING THAT WORKS OUT SO, ITS $32,430 FOR AND $33,495 FOR SO, YOU HAVE TO REALLY LOVE NOW, WE VIEW THE MX-5 AS THE SO WE'D PROBABLY STICK WITH WE SAVED ON PERFORMANCE STILL, ONE THING IS CLEAR.

MAZDA TOOK GREAT STRIDES TO A HARD TOP VERSION OF OUR BUT SOMETHING THAT IS TRULY THE 2017 MX-5 MIATA RF IS ON THE MINIMALIST ROADSTER AND A BEAUTY NOT JUST FOR OUR WELL, THAT'S OUR SHOW, NOW, FOR MORE MOTORWEEK ; AND EVEN COMPLETE EPISODES, CRUISE ON OVER TO AND I HOPE YOU'LL JOIN US FOR ITALIAN STYLE IN IT'S THE ALFA ROMEO STELVIO.
