WELL...FINALLY, * ALL-NEW JEEP WRANGLERS ARE HAPPENING ONLY EVERY 10 YEARS BUT, 2018 SEES A HOST OF CHANGES STARTING WITH THE POWERTRAINS.

NEW OPTIONS INCLUDE RATED AT 270 HORSEPOWER EVEN MORE INTRIGUING IS WITH 260 HORSEPOWER 442 POUND-FEET OF TORQUE, A BIT LONGER FOR THAT ONE, FOR THE ANNOUNCED PLUG-IN ON THE OTHER HAND, BASE 3.6 LITER PENTASTAR GAS V6 SAVE FOR GAINING AUTOMATIC HORSEPOWER AND TORQUE REMAIN AT STANDARD TRANSMISSION IS NOW WITH THE OPTIONAL AUTOMATIC UNFORTUNATELY, AS OF RIGHT NOW, WITH THE 3.6 V6.

FCA IS SMART ENOUGH NOT TO TOO MUCH, HAVING LEARNED THE RELAUNCHED CHEROKEE.

ALL OF THE HALLMARKS ARE HERE, SQUARE, TACKED-ON TAIL LIGHTS, AND OF COURSE A 7-SLOT GRILLE.

NEW ELEMENTS ARE MOSTLY LIMITED FOR BETTER VISIBILITY, EASIER TO USE REAR DOOR HANDLES, ...INCLUDING FOR THE HEADLIGHTS HEADLIGHTS NOW CREEP INTO AND WHILE, MANY QUESTIONED INTO THE MIX FOR 2007, FOR THE 4-DOOR WRANGLER TO SO IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING, WITH A CHOICE OF TOPS THAT OF THE TRADITIONAL SOFT TOP, AND A NEW SKY ONE-TOUCH THE STANDARD SOFT TOP IS MUCH WITH SLIDING RETAINERS FOR AND ADDITIONAL STRUCTURE WITHIN' THOSE MORE INTO THE HARDWARE WILL FIND BOTH COMMAND-TRAC SYSTEMS, DANA AXLES, FRONT AND REAR LOCKERS, REMOVABLE END-CAPS, AND WE SPENT MOST OF OUR TIME IN THE PENTASTAR AND AUTOMATIC.

THE V6 REMAINS PLENTY POWERFUL; A LITTLE OVER THE YEARS, THAT'S VERY BEFITTING OF UNLIKE, THE 8-SPEED AUTOMATIC SEEMED WITH LESS HUNTING AROUND.

AS YOU MAY HAVE EXPECTED, THINGS HAVE GOTTEN A LITTLE AND THE RIDE SMOOTHED A BIT.

MORE IMPRESSIVE WAS THE TURNING RADIUS.

SHOULD DO WONDERS ON THE TRAIL, PARKING LOTS.

TACKLING SOME ROCKY DESERT WE OF COURSE OPTED FOR BUT UNDER THE WATCHFUL EYES WE DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO FIND OF ITS OFF-ROAD ABILITIES.

WE DID SPEND A LITTLE TIME WITH LOW END TORQUE WAS QUITE BUT THINGS CERTAINLY FELT INSIDE, IS WHERE MAYBE THE NEW DESIGN.

NO DOUBT, IT'S MUCH CLEANER BUT YOU HAVE TO GET PAST INCLUDING PLENTY OF GIMMICKS WE DO GIVE JEEP PROPS FOR THE CONTROLS UNIQUE.

MATERIALS AND SWITCHGEAR ARE AND MOST SEEM READY TO STAND WITH SOME OF THE EXPOSED SEAT COMFORT REMAINS JUST OKAY, QUITE GOOD.

THREE DIFFERENT SIZED U-CONNECT GOVERNMENT FUEL ECONOMY RATINGS THE 3.6 LITER AND ARE 17-CITY, FOR THE MANUAL; AND 20-COMBINED WITH WHICH HAS THE BETTER ENERGY YEARLY OIL CONSUMPTION WITH TWO-DOOR WRANGLER BASE PRICING FOR SPORT TRIM, A 4-DOOR WRANGLER SPORT STARTS WITH THE RUBICON STARTING AT AND TJ SNOBS WILL FIND THE 2018 JEEP WRANGLER, IT'S ALL OF THE WRANGLER WE'VE WITH MODERN POWERTRAINS THAT INTO THE FUTURE.

AND WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE * IT WAS 1970 SOMETHING AND TRACTOR PULLING TRUCKS TIRE SIZES GREW, AND SO DID IN 1981, AND THE FIRST MONSTER TRUCK BIGGER AND BADDER THAN EVER, TO GET HIGH WITH ZACH MASKELL WITH A DRIVING EXPERIENCE * Don Royalty: IT'S ALL GOING TO FOR YOU I CAN TELL YOU THAT.

AS SOON AS YOU RUN OVER A CAR, AS SOON AS YOU GET OUT OF YOU'VE GOT SOMETHING ELSE YOU'VE GOT 1300 HORSE RATTLING YOUR CAGE ON TOP SO IT'S GOING TO BE PRETTY Zach: I'VE ALWAYS WANTED SO, HERE WE ARE IN FRANKLIN, AT THE ONLY MONSTER TRUCK BUT HERE THERE'S NO CLASS TIME, JUST 15 ACRES WITH THE OWNERS HAD OVER 60 DRIVERS FROM ACROSS THE WORLD, SO YOU'VE BEEN SURROUNDED BY QUITE SOME TIME NOW... YOU WERE BUILDING THE JUMPS WHAT MADE YOU ACTUALLY Don: UM, I THOUGHT, AND JUST HAVE ONE.

AND THEN AFTER BUYING IT, IT'S PROBABLY A LITTLE SO I STARTED THE SCHOOL TO FIND Zach: BUT THAT'S A FEAT EASIER Don: IT'S A LITTLE BIT HARD TO A MONSTER TRUCK FOR YOU.

THEY'VE GOT TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE THEY'VE GOT TO BE A MECHANIC AND THEN, THEY'VE GOT TO BE ABLE Zach: AND TRUST ME WHEN I SAY, Don: TO ME IT'S ALL ABOUT MAKING YOU KNOW, BUT NOW, PEOPLE COME UP "THAT WAS REALLY A RIDE..." "ALRIGHT..." SO THAT'S ALL IT'S ABOUT TO ME Zach: A LOT OF THE PARTS, IT'S BUILT ON A TUBE CHASSIS, WITH A FIBERGLASS BODY.

Don: WE'VE GOT A 502 BIG BLOCK IT'S GOT AN 871 BLOWER ON IT.

IT'S RUNNING ON PURE METHANOL.

WE'VE GOT 4-LINK SUSPENSION... NITROGEN FILLED SHOCKS..." Zach: WHAT DOES IT COST FOR AND DO THIS?

Don: IT'S $250 A RUN Zach: COMPETITIVE TRUCKS CAN TO RUN EACH YEAR.

[SMASH TRANSITION] LETTING OUT YOUR ANGER ON IS FREE.

INSIDE THE DESTROYER, WHAT YOU'RE USED TO, AND REAR WHEELS.

UHHHHHHHH.

Don: I'LL KILL IT IF I SEE SOMETHING HAPPEN...

IF YOU WERE TO GET UPSIDE DOWN YOU KILL THAT.

Zach: AND THAT'S SIMILAR TO WHAT Don: EVERYBODY...EXACTLY.

SAME MOTOR, SAME EVERYTHING AS Zach: HMMM, MAYBE I'LL JUST, Don: I WANT YOU TO STAY RADICAL.

EVERYBODY SAYS, AND HURT THE TRUCK."

HURTING THE TRUCK IS GOING THE TRUCKS GOING TO HURT YOU HURT THE TRUCK, I PROMISE YOU.

BUT THEY DON'T LET THAT Zach: STARTING OUT, FOCUSING ON THE FACT, A FULL-SIZE CAR.

THE KEY IS TO STAY ON THE GAS...

OTHERWISE, YOU'LL LAND FRONT IT'S GOING TO HURT.

WELL, OF COURSE, I LET OFF AND THIS WAS MY FIRST LANDING.

OUCH!

AS FAR AS THAT REAR STEERING AND CRAB WALKING OVER JUMPS, BUT IT REALLY STARTED TO CLICK WHOOOO, HOO, HOO, HOO... MY HEART IS THROBBING, THIS THING'S VIOLENT MAN...

THERE'S SO MUCH TO KEEP IN MIND.

BUT IT IS A BLAST.

Zach: DON AND REGINA...

THANKS FOR LETTING ME TAKE AND I'M SORRY ABOUT THE CONES.

WELL, I'M GONNA GO John: IF YOU HOLD ON TO A CAR THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING THAT PAT GOSS HAS ADVICE ON Pat Goss: THERE ARE MILLIONS OF THAT HAVE A LOT OF BUT MAYBE THEY DON'T HAVE THAT YOU WOULD REALLY LIKE.

IN THIS CASE, WHEN IT WAS NEW, AND YOU HAD TO PAY EXTRA FOR IT.

TODAY, IT'S OBSOLETE AND IT IS SO WHAT CAN YOU DO TO BRING WELL, THERE ARE A LOT OF YOU CAN MODIFY THE SOUND SYSTEM.

YOU CAN ADD FEATURES LIKE THIS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

TO SEE SOME OF THE THINGS WE'RE TAKING THIS CAR TO SUPPLYING ITEMS THAT YOU CAN LET'S SEE WHAT THEY HAVE FOR US.

Stephen Davis: SO LET'S START VERY EASY TO PUTT OUT WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT A NEW THAT'S GONNA GIVE US CARPLAY SO NO MATTER WHAT SMART PHONE THE BEST POSSIBLE EXPERIENCE FOR AND NAVIGATION.

IT'S ALSO GOT HD RADIO, LISTENING EXPERIENCE FOR AND REALLY GREAT SOUND TOOLS, THE SOUND, AND GET THE BEST NEXT UP, WE HAVE SPEAKERS.

WE'RE GOING TO REPLACE BOTH THE VOLKSWAGEN GOLF.

THE SPEAKERS ARE RELATIVELY EASY THE DOORS IN THE VOLKSWAGEN AND WE HAVE ALL OF THE PIECES WITHOUT TOO MUCH TROUBLE.

WE'RE GOING TO DO A COMPONENT WHICH MEANS THE TWEET AND WOOFER BETTER IMAGING AND SOUND STAGE AND THEN JUST A TYPICAL 2-WAY FOR SOME BACKFILL.

AND I ALWAYS TOO...WE NEED SO WE'RE GOING TO DO IN THE REAR STORAGE AREA.

WHAT'S REALLY NICE ABOUT THIS IS THE RADIO TO THE POWERED SUB AND ALSO, WHEN WE NEED SOME WE CAN EASILY PULL IT OUT.

SO EVEN THOUGH, WE DO HAVE DOESN'T MEAN WE CAN'T GET SOME AS WELL.

WE'RE GOING TO BE INSTALLING ALONGSIDE THE KENWOOD THIS WAY WE HAVE SOME AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT WITH ANY NEW RADIO THAT WE PUT Pat: SOME OF THE THINGS THAT YOU CAN AND MOST OF THEM YOU CAN DO IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION OR DROP ME A LINE RIGHT HERE AT John: SO LITTLE TIME...

SO MANY CARS...

SO LET'S GO FOR A QUICKSPIN.

* THE DAYS OF DOUBTING THAT PERFORMANCE INTO AN SUV SO, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO NEED BUT DEMAND MORE THRILL FROM WE SUGGEST, WITH RECENTLY ADDED PERFORMANCE AT FIRST GLANCE, TOP OF THE MACAN MIX AWAY.

BUT LOOKS CAN BE DECEIVING.

STEP ON THE GAS, THE MACAN TURBO TO A FULL THAT'S BY WAY OF A NEWLY 3.6 LITER V6 WITH ROBUST A 7-SPEED PDK DOUBLE-CLUTCH PURPOSEFUL SHIFTS WHILE THE SPORT CHRONO PACKAGE, IS INCLUDED TOO... AND WE THINK THE PUNCH PRODUCES AS IT GETS.

THE ALL-WHEEL DRIVE ALSO BETTERED THE COMPANY'S ALONG WITH BETTER THE PERFORMANCE PACK'S 4-TENTHS OF AN INCH CLOSER TO PORSCHE ACTIVE SUSPENSION KEEPS THE RIDE COMFORTABLE HIGH SPEED STABILITY.

WHEN IT COMES TIME TO STOP, GROOVED FRONT BRAKE DISCS BRING YOU TO A HALT IN A HURRY.

THE MACAN HAS ONLY BEEN SINCE THE 2015 MODEL YEAR.

AND THEY'RE OBVIOUSLY, OF GRADUALLY ADDING MORE POWER, SUV UP NOTCH AFTER NOTCH.

WHETHER, OR NOT PORSCHE REMAINS TO BE SEEN.

FOR NOW, THIS 2018 PORSCHE MACAN FILLS OUR NEED FOR SPACE IT'S ON SALE NOW STARTING AT GMC, "PROFESSIONAL GRADE" IS THIS 2018 GMC CANYON DENALI A SMALLER TRUCK TO A LOFTIER THE MOUNTAIN IT'S NAMED AFTER.

GENERAL MOTORS BROUGHT BACK WHILE, THE GMC BRAND IS A CLOSE THERE IS A CONCERTED EFFORT SEPARATE FROM CHEVROLET.

ONE WAY OF DOING THAT IS BY ACROSS THE GMC LINE-UP.

OUTSIDE, THERE'S PLENTY OF FROM THE GRILLE TO THE ASSIST ALONG WITH UNIQUE 20-INCH IN THE PAST, ALSO GIVE THE CANYON AN EDGE THIS DENALI CREW CAB GOES PAMPERING WITH STANDARD HEATED STEERING WHEEL, THERE ARE STILL THE BIG KNOBS THE TOP TRIM TECHNOLOGY INCLUDES NAVIGATION, 4G LTE WI-FI, AND LANE DEPARTURE WARNING.

FOR ALL THE REFINEMENT, BODY-ON-FRAME TRUCK WITH THE STANDARD 308 HORSEPOWER TOWS UP TO 7000 POUNDS.

BUT, THE TORQUEY 186 HORSEPOWER PULLS 700 MORE.

WE'VE ALREADY PUT BOTH COMPLETE ROAD TESTS, LUXURY WAS ADDED, AND FEELS TRUCK SOLID, BUT WITH SO, THE 2018 GMC CANYON DENALI USEFUL MIDSIZE TRUCK, WITH AN OVER-THE-TOP LUXURY DEALERS HAVE THEM, AND PRICES WE'LL HAVE MORE QUICKSPIN'S WE RECENTLY TESTED AND ITS NEW TURBO ENGINE.

AND WE KNEW GOING IN THAT WOULDN'T QUITE LIVE UP TO BUT WE ALSO KNEW THAT THE FULL BORE CIVIC TYPE R WHAT DOES THIS REALLY MEAN?

ONLY THE FASTEST AND MOST * THE PERCEPTION THAT AND MOSTLY BORING CARS IS BUT THAT PERCEPTION DOESN'T AS THE BRAND HAS FIELDED OVER THE YEARS.

UNFORTUNATELY, MOST OF THEM THE MOST GLARING EXAMPLE OF THAT WELL, THAT ALL CHANGES FOR 2017 THE BEST STREET PERFORMANCE [ENGINE RUNNING] AND IT'S A LOT!

OVER 300 HORSES FROM ITS UNIQUE 306 TO BE EXACT, ALONG WITH IT FEELS LIKE IT REVS FOREVER; CLASSIC SIs OF THE PAST, A LITTLE V-TEC FLAVOR TRANSMISSION IS A 6-SPEED NO AUTOMATIC IS AVAILABLE.

IT COMES WITH AUTOMATIC WHICH WE FOUND QUICK UNLIKE, OBVIOUS ALL-WHEEL DRIVE AND VOLKSWAGEN GOLF R, FRONT-WHEEL DRIVE ONLY; LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL IS ON THE OTHER HAND, IS NOT SO MUCH TWEAKED AS ALMOST UP FRONT IS A NEW DUAL AXIS AND ADAPTIVE DAMPERS ARE ADDED ADDITIONAL STRUCTURAL ADHESIVES TO INCREASE STIFFNESS AND THEN, THERE'S THE EXTERIOR.

YES, ALL THOSE AERO-ELEMENTS BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, NOT JUST TACKED ON FOR STYLING WITH THE BIGGER ENGINE AND ALL THOUGH IT STILL COMES IN AND IT REMAINS A PRETTY COMES AS A HATCHBACK ONLY.

THE ATMOSPHERE IS VERY SPORTY WITH WELL-BOLSTERED SEATS THAT FROM AN ITALIAN EXOTIC.

OTHER TYPE R SPECIFIC ELEMENTS INCLUDE A RED AND BLACK THEME, AND TYPE R LOGOS.

OVERALL, THE INTERIOR APPEARS A NICE THICK WHEEL FOR GRIPPING, AND YOU'LL FIND ALL THE EXPECTED INCLUDING A SIMPLE TO OPERATE OFF THE LINE, THERE'S NO LAG; AND DESPITE BEING ONE OF THE CARS YOU CAN BUY, WE FOUND HONDA MAKES NO CLAIMS BUT OUR SEAT OF THE PANTS METER THE RIDE IS COMPLIANT, ALMOST TYPICAL HONDA; THE +R DRIVE MODE WHICH REALLY BY STIFFENING THE DAMPERS, SETTING STABILITY CONTROL AS WELL AS HEAVYING UP IF YOU'RE LUCKY ENOUGH TO BUY BY ALL MEANS, OR AT LEAST AUTOCROSS THE HECK IT FEELS WELL-PLANTED IN AND TURNS IN BEAUTIFULLY.

THE TYPE R HAS A SELECTIVE PERFORMANCE ENHANCER THAT CAN BUT IN THEIR TRADITIONAL ROLE, CAN STILL DO SOME SERIOUS THEY'RE GREAT!

Zach: THERE'S THREE MAIN REMEMBER WHEN YOU'RE COMING FIRST OF ALL, AND YOU WANT TO FINISH YOUR TURN.

THEN YOU COAST A BIT, AS FAST AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE.

I LOVE THE TYPE R EVERY TURN THAT I COME INTO, IT LETS ME GET ON THE GAS John: WHILE CERTAINLY NOT YOUR GOVERNMENT FUEL ECONOMY RATINGS 28-HIGHWAY, AND 25-COMBINED.

FOR AN AMAZINGLY AVERAGE ENERGY BURNING 13.2 BARRELS WHILE EMITTING 6.0 TONS OF CO2.

BASE PRICING IS $34,775.

SOME MAY HAVE A PROBLEM SPENDING BUT THIS IS NO ORDINARY CIVIC.

AND FOR THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN IT'S NOT LOT OF MONEY AT ALL FOR EQUALLY BENIGN OR NASTY.

WE'VE WAITED 20 YEARS FOR THIS AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING THE 2017 HONDA CIVIC TYPE R IT FEELS LIKE A BRILLIANT, PERFORMANCE MACHINE THAT A HONDA BADGE ON IT.

THOSE THAT FELT THE CIVIC SI WILL FIND EXACTLY WHAT THEY WE SURE DID.
