STATE FARM IS PROUD TO SUPPORT John Davis: AN ACCORD BY AND I THINK WE CAN ALL AGREE ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL 13 MILLION SOLD HERE SO WHILE AN ALL-NEW ACCORD MAY AROUND HERE, IT CERTAINLY IS AN AS WELL AS FOR OTHER CAR MAKERS, AGAINST FOR YEARS TO COME.

John: SEDAN SALES BEING WHAT YOU MIGHT THINK HONDA WOULD FOR THE 2018 HONDA ACCORD THAT'S NOT THE CASE.

THIS 10TH GENERATION ACCORD IS CHASSIS THAT ALLOWS FOR WHEELBASE IS UP BY OVER TWO UPPING REAR LEG ROOF.

THERE'S GENUINE FULL-SIZE SEDAN SLOPING ROOM MEANS REALLY THERE'S 6-FOOTER-PLUS UP FRONT, HONDA HAS BLENDED A SPACE; STARTING WITH A NICELY AND ADDING ADDITIONAL BOLSTERING THE GAUGE PANEL IS VIRTUAL, NOT JUST A DIGITAL READOUT FOR A FULL SLATE OF TECH.

FEATURES INCLUDING AN 8-INCH TOUCHSCREEN THOUGH THAT'S MOSTLY DUE TO AND BUTTONS BACK INTO THE MIX.

ON THE PRACTICALITY FRONT, ARE STANDARD, AND TRUNK SPACE A FULL CUBIC-FOOT TO 16.7.

THERE'S LOTS NEW IN THE BASE, AND DESTINED TO BE THE IS A 1.5-LITER TURBO-4, IS THE MOST EVER TORQUE IS 192 POUND FEET TO EITHER A CVT OR A 6-SPEED FOR A SMALL TURBO, AND FEELS TOTALLY ADEQUATE THE UPGRADE IS NO LONGER A V6, A 2.0-LITER NO LESS.

BUT DON'T FRET, IT'S ACTUALLY OF THE CIVIC TYPE R'S, CRANKING WITH 273 POUND FEET OF TORQUE, IT CONNECTS TO EITHER A NEW OR A 6-SPEED MANUAL.

WE REALLY ENJOYED THE MANUAL.

IT'S NOT HONDA'S BEST SHIFTER YOU'RE GETTING AWAY WITH GEARS IN THIS FAMILY CAR.

FINALLY, THE HYBRID MAKES A NORMALLY-ASPIRATED 2.0-LITER I4 FOR A COMBINED OUTPUT OF REGARDLESS OF POWERTRAIN, AND FUNCTIONAL AS ALWAYS, AND STILL WITH JUST A DASH OF IT'S NOT LEXUS QUIET, OR MAZDA NICE SWEET SPOT IN BETWEEN.

WHILE VISIBILITY WASN'T AN ISSUE SLIMMED TO ENHANCE THE DESPITE THE WHEELBASE STRETCH, EVEN AS THE FRONT BUT, THE ALTERED PROPORTIONS YIELDING A SLEEKER, INDEED, HONDA CLEARLY WANTED DIRECTION STYLING-WISE; OVERBOARD.

A BIT OF WEIGHT WAS LOST ALONG FOR MOST TRIM LEVELS.

WHEELS ARE 17 OR 19-INCH ALLOYS.

MOST OF OUR TIME, BOTH AT THE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE AND AROUND OUR TOURING TRIM ACCORD WITH THE AND 10-SPEED AUTOMATIC.

NEW IS AN ADAPTIVE DAMPER SYSTEM WITH NORMAL AND SPORT MODES.

DESPITE ALL OF THE GEARS, THE ONLY THE OCCASIONAL CLUNKINESS.

AND AT OUR UNFORTUNATELY FRIGID COMBO STILL DELIVERED; THERE'S PLENTY OF LOW-END BIT OF WHEEL SPIN.

WITH WARMER TEMPS, WE FEEL THE ORDER OF THE DAY.

THINGS ARE SMOOTH AND STEADY THE LIGHTS IN 14.8-SECONDS EASILY COMPARABLE IT DOESN'T FEEL VASTLY LIGHTER FOR SURE WITH NOTICEABLY TURN-INS ARE QUICKER AND OVERALL RESPONSIVE, AND YES SPORTIER!

HONDA SENSING SAFETY SYSTEMS, BRAKING ARE STANDARD GOVERNMENT FUEL ECONOMY RATINGS 2.0-LITER, BUT IN MIXED DRIVING 28.6 MILES-PER-GALLON PRICING STARTS TOP LEVEL TOURING TRIM YES, IT'S NOT A GREAT TIME TO BE THESE DAYS; BUT IF THERE'S ONE NO PROBLEM STAYING RELEVANT IT'S THE 2018 HONDA ACCORD.

IT'S BECAUSE IT STILL DELIVERS HIGHLY EFFICIENT, PRACTICAL, IN AN INCREASINGLY REFINED HONDA FANS ARE SURE TO FOLLOW...

ACCORDINGLY.

Fred Simeone: MY DEFINITION OF A WHEN YOU LEAVE THAT EXIT DOOR THAN YOU CAME IN WITH.

SO, IT'S ABOUT EDUCATION.

IT'S ABOUT LEARNING, AND COLLECTOR'S DREAM, CONVEYING ON TO SOMEONE ELSE.

EVERYONE KNOWS MUSEUMS ARE MEANT AND MOST MUSEUMS INTERPRET, PRINCIPAL RULES OF A MUSEUM.

BUT ONE OF THE FIRST, NOT ENOUGH AMERICAN CAR MUSEUMS, ARE INTERESTED IN PRESERVATION.

WE BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A CAN TELL SIMULTANEOUSLY WHILE GREAT RACING SPORTS CARS.

Lauren Morrison: THE 1964 SHELBY SPORTS CAR RACING ICON IN A CAPPED OFF BY WINNING THE CHAMPIONSHIP, BREAKING A BY FERRARI AND BRINGING THAT FOR THE FIRST TIME.

THE FIRST OF THE SIX DAYTONA ENTIRELY IN AMERICA, NOW RESIDES AUTO MUSEUM IN PHILADELPHIA, HONORING THE SPIRIT PETER BROCK'S BEAUTIFUL AND IN JUST TWO MONTHS, BUT IN 20 MILES PER HOUR FASTER THIS PARTICULAR CAR WENT ON TO AT THE BONNEVILLE SALT FLATS IN SESSION NETTED 23 INTERNATIONAL LAND SPEED RECORD HOLDER CRAIG FOR 12 HOURS AT TOP SPEED, INCLUDING PIT STOPS!

HE RECALLS THE EXCITEMENT AND RECORD-SETTING PERFORMANCE.

Craig Breedlove: SHELBY SENT THE AND WE UNLOADED IT AND GOT SOME AND HAND PUMPS, AND UH, WHICH IS DEAD FLAT ON THE SALT.

IT'S PRETTY SLIPPERY, AND IT THE MUD, SO YOU'VE GOT A FAIRLY A LOT OF FUN TO DRIVE IT...

SO WE WERE RUNNING, I DON'T FOR THE SPEED RUN, AND THEN WE'D BY HAND IN BETWEEN THE STOPS!

YOU KNOW YOU JUST PUT THE CAR IN THE SLIDE AND RECOVER IT, AND AND SO ON AND SO FORTH...

IF IT STARTS TO COME AROUND A YOU NEED TO BACK OFF A LITTLE AND THEN SQUEEZE IT Lauren: AFTER THAT BONNEVILLE BRIEFLY OWNED BY MUSICIAN PHIL ON THE STREETS OF L.A.!!

IT THEN DISAPPEARED FROM PUBLIC AND HIDDEN AWAY FOR 30 YEARS FRED SIMEONE FOR THE MUSEUM.

BUT AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS CAR ALL OF THE CARS AT THE SIMEONE RUNNING CONDITION, FOR PUBLIC DEMONSTRATIONS.

John: YOUR CAR WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU.

PAT GOSS SHOWS US WHAT TO KEEP Pat Goss: SO YOU HAVE A CAR THAT MONITORING SYSTEM ON IT, AND YOU THINK YOU CAN TAKE YOUR AND TOSS IT IN THE TRASH.

NOT SO.

SEE TPMS ONLY WARNS YOU IF A ON PRESSURE.

IT DOESN'T TELL YOU THE IDEAL SO THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE SURE YOU MILEAGE AND ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU NEED TO CHECK MANUALLY ALRIGHT, A COUPLE OF THINGS SYSTEMS THERE ARE A ONE IS INDIRECT READING AND IT SENSORS FOR THE ABS SYSTEM.

UH...

THEY'RE O.K.

THE OTHERS ARE DIRECT READING IN EACH WHEEL THAT TELLS THE INSIDE EACH ONE OF THOSE TIRES.

AND WITHIN THOSE DIRECT READING ONE IS RIGHT HERE THIS IS HELD THAT GOES ALL THE WAY AROUND NOT ALL THAT POPULAR.

THE OTHERS REPLACE THE SENSOR'S INSIDE THE WHEEL, YOU CAN CHECK TIRE PRESSURE AND NOW SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE WELL WE SEE LOTS OF WEIRD THINGS AND STUFF LIKE THAT OR THAT THEY'RE DEALING WITH A TPMS OF THE SENSOR AND STUFF HAVE TO USE A LITTLE COMMON BUT ONE OF THE MORE FREQUENT THAT WANT DECORATIVE VALVE STEM AND THEY BUY THIS THEY PUT IT ON TO THE STEM THEY GO TO TAKE IT OFF AND THE JUST FALLS OFF, TURNS TO DUST, ELECTROLYSIS.

SO THERE'S TWO THINGS.

NUMBER 1, DON'T USE METAL CAPS USE PLASTIC CAPS.

NUMBER 2, USE DIELECTRIC GREASE PUT ON THERE TO HELP PREVENT COME OFF EASILY.

SO EVEN THOUGH IT'S A PASSIVE THINGS THAT YOU NEED TO DO IN AND IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION, RIGHT HERE, AT MOTORWEEK .

John: STARTING UP A NEW NEVER GETS OLD FOR US.

SO LET'S DO IT AGAIN IN [CAR ACCELERATING] PORSCHE HAS RECLAIMED ITS KING A BLISTERING 6:47 LAP TIME AT 911 GT2 RS, AND BESTING PRODUCTION-CAR RECORD WE CLIMBED BEHIND THE WHEEL OF ROAD ROCKET, AT THE SOUTHERN PORTUGAL FOR A THE GT2 RS IS NEARLY 300 POUNDS TURBO S, THANKS TO EXTENSIVE USE AND TITANIUM IN THE BODY, ROLL BAR.

MASTERING THE AIRFLOW IN AND REAR WING, PROVIDES MAXIMUM 325/30 SERIES 21-INCH REAR TWIN-TURBO FLAT-6 ENGINE.

UNDER EXTREME LOAD CONDITIONS, BY A NEW WATER-BASED SYSTEM FOR THROW IN A SET OF CERAMIC STABILITY SYSTEMS, REAR-AXLE TRANSMISSION, AND THIS IS THE UNDOUBTEDLY THE MOST CAPABLE IF 2.7 SECOND ZERO TO SIXTY SPEEDS ARE YOUR THING, THE IN EARLY 2018, STARTING WE TOOK IN THE SANER SIGHTS DRIVING THIS NEW 2018 CHEVROLET WITH THE ADDITION OF A 1.6-LITER TO A 6-SPEED AUTOMATIC WHILE THE 1.6 TURBO-DIESEL IS CHEVY CRUZE COMPACT, ON OUR DAY ALTOGETHER DIFFERENT ENGINE ULTRA-QUIET OPERATION LIKE NO APPLICATION TO DATE.

THERE IS GOOD PUNCH OFF THE SETTLES INTO A STEADY IF WITH 137-HORSEPOWER AND 240 THERE IS ENOUGH POWER IN RESERVE STARTING TO SWEAT.

MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE EQUINOX HAS AN EPA RATING OF 39 THE HIGHEST OF ANY ALL-WHEEL DRIVE IS AVAILABLE.

THE 2018 CHEVROLET EQUINOX AND IT'S IN DEALERSHIPS NOW.

LAMBORGHINI, ON THE OTHER HAND, OUT OF THEIR MAGIC HAT TO MAKE AS TRACK-FOCUSED AS POSSIBLE.

EVER SINCE WE FIRST SAW IT AT MOTOR SHOW, WE'VE BEEN EAGER OF THIS SUPER CAR.

AND WE DID IT AT THE THERMAL IT'S A BALANCED BLEND OF THE SNORTY 640-HORSEPOWER NATURALLY-ASPIRATED.

IT'S MATED TO A SEVEN-SPEED IN ADDITION TO THE CLASSIC AND HIGHER HORSEPOWER, TECHNICAL PROWESS; WITH A NEW ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE, AND AN INNOVATIVE ACTIVE Dave Scrivener: LAMBORGHINI'S ACTUALLY CHANNEL AIR OVER OR AS NEEDED, AND GIVE YOU GIVING YOU THE MOST POWER, ON THE INSIDE WHEEL John: THE RESULT IS A BODY-SLAMMING ACCELERATION, AND A LIGHT, AGILE FEEL, TRANSITIONS THROTTLE MODULATION IS AND POWER-ON OVERSTEER IS ALWAYS LAMBORGHINI SAYS 0-TO-100 KM/HR, TAKES JUST 2.9 SECONDS... MAKING IT THE FASTEST, IN THE STABLE; THE 2018 LAMBORGHINI HURACAN STARTING AT JUST UNDER $275,000.

WE'LL HAVE MORE John: THERE ARE LIKELY OUT THERE THAT WILL BE SAD THAT HAS BEEN RETIRED.

SO, THERE'LL BE NO LR5.

BUT, TAKE HEART, AS THE MONIKER BEFORE IT, WERE USED HERE ON PLANET KNEW AS THE DISCOVERY.

WELL, TIMES HAVE CHANGED, AND AN HAS JUST ARRIVED, READY TO FROM 1994 TO 2004 THE FIRST MOSTLY NO-NONSENSE LAND ROVER IMPRESSIONS STATE SIDE.

BUT, DUE TO QUALITY ISSUES, HENCE THE NAME CHANGE BUT, WITH THOSE BLACK MARKS INCREASINGLY TAKING THE PLACE OF A GOOD TIME TO INTRODUCE THE TO AMERICANS BY ITS PROPER NAME.

AND, WHAT WE YANKS WILL DISCOVER AND FRIENDLY SUV.

THERE ARE OF COURSE STILL SOME SUCH AS THE CLAMSHELL HOOD, STEPPED ROOFLINE.

BUT OVERALL THE LOOK IS CLEARLY APPEARING NOT TOO DISSIMILAR AND JUST TO MUDDY THE WATERS DISCOVERY SHARES VIRTUALLY DISCOVERY SPORT; RATHER, IT'S STRUCTURE OF THE [ENGINGE STARTS] SO IT ALSO SHARES ITS BASE SUPERCHARGED V6 WITH AND 332 POUND FEET OF TORQUE.

NO V8 UPGRADE, BUT THERE IS A IT OUTPUTS 254-HORSEPOWER AND THE FAMILIAR ZF 8-SPEEED EITHER ENGINE.

WE SPENT PLENTY OF TIME WITH AND THERE'S NO REAL WRONG CHOICE TO WHETHER YOU PREFER OR SUPERCHARGED SMOOTHNESS SHARING THE RANGE ROVER'S MEANS A DROP IN WEIGHT OF ALMOST FULL-FRAMED LR4.

BUT DON'T WORRY, ACCORDING TO ACTUALLY IMPROVE ITS OFF ROAD IT'S THE MOST CAPABLE LAND ROVER ALSO SAYS DISCOVERY FAMILY FROM THE INSIDE OUT, WITH UP TO 9 USB PORTS, 2ND ROW SEATING IS STILL A RIVAL CROSSOVERS, BUT OUR TESTER IN PLACE TO DISTRACT FROM THE 7-PASSENGER SEATING IS OPTIONAL, IS ACTUALLY USABLE.

SEATS ARE POWER FOLDING, AND YOU SMART PHONE.

AT FIRST GLANCE, IT LOOKS LIKE HAS BEEN REPLACED BUT, LAND ROVER UNDERSTANDS.

SO AN INNER TAILGATE WHEN THE LIFT GATE OPENS.

IT WAS THE DIESEL-POWERED DISCO THERE WAS GOOD POWER OFF THE OF BRUTE FORCE WE WERE THAT'S TO KEEP THE WELL-HEALED FROM SPILLING THEIR $9 BREW GREEN.

IT WAS ENOUGH TO GET US TO 60 QUARTER MILE IN 16.1 DESPITE BIG JUMPS IN SUSPENSION COURSE IS STILL NOT A PLACE THAT THE MOST COMFORTABLE.

EVEN WITH THE OPTIONAL AIR SOFT, SLOW ROLL; ACCOMPANIED BY YOU ON YOUR TOES.

STILL ITS MILES BETTER GOVERNMENT FUEL ECONOMY RATINGS ARE 16-CITY, 21-HIGHWAY, THE DIESEL RATES 21-CITY, WE AVERAGED THE DIESEL ALSO HAS THE BETTER AT 16.6-BARRELS OF ANNUAL OIL OF 7.4-TONS.

BASE PRICING OF $50,985 IS VERY OFFERINGS, ESPECIALLY SINCE HERE THE DIESEL ENGINE THE 2017 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY IS PERFECT FOR TACKLING TOWN AND IT MAY BE BUILT IN THE U.K., BUT MADE JUST FOR US HERE IN THE THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE TRIES TO YET LUXURIOUS ALL-ROAD John: WELL THAT'S OUR SHOW, NOW FOR MORE MOTORWEEK ; PODCASTS, CRUISE ON OVER TO AND I HOPE YOU'LL WHEN A PAIR OF AUDI 5'S PROVE PAMPERED RIDES.
