HI, I'M JOHN DAVIS JOIN US AS WE HIT THE ROAD PAT GOSS CATCHES SOME RAYS STEPHANIE HART HEADS TO AND WE'LL GET SOME CHEVROLET CORVETTE STINGRAY...

SO COME DRIVE WITH US, NEXT!

CLOSED CAPTIONING PROVIDED BY * Announcer: MOTORWEEK , TELEVISION'S BROUGHT TO YOU BY... Announcer: YOU'RE SHOPPING AND YOU HAVE QUESTIONS.

Man 1: I DO.

Announcer: WE'RE TIRERACK.COM, AND WE HAVE ANSWERS, Man 2: IT'S A...TAKE A LOOK.

Man 1: OH.

Announcer: ROCKAUTO HAS AUTO PARTS FROM OFFERING A VARIETY OF BRANDS, ROCKAUTO.COM, ALL THE PARTS YOUR CAR John: COMPETITION IS STOUT BUT IT'S STILL THE COMPACTS THAT WITH THE HONDA CR-V DUKING IT OUT FOR THE TOP NOW, HONDA HAS BEEN LOOKING UP AND YOU KNOW THEY'D LOVE TO SO ENTER AN UPDATED CR-V WITH AND MORE MPGs.

BUT, WILL IT BE MORE POPULAR?

* ONE TRIED AND TRUE WAY TO BE MORE CHOICES.

STILL, YOU HAVE TO FILE THIS THE "WHY DIDN'T THIS HAPPEN YOU SEE, THE 2020 HONDA CR-V AS A HYBRID.

WHILE, IT'S BEEN SOLD IN FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS ALREADY.

THE POWERTRAIN IS LIFTED FROM STARTING WITH A 2.0 LITER I4, ON ITS OWN; NOW ADD IN A PAIR FOR A TOTAL OF 212 HORSEPOWER.

AS IN THE ACCORD HYBRID, THERE'S JUST A CLUTCH SYSTEM BETWEEN ON THE BACK OF THE ENGINE, AND THE MOTOR ON THAT DIFFERENTIAL MOTOR IS ON MOST OCCASIONS, GENERATOR-LIKE POWER TO IT.

THOUGH, THE CLUTCH CAN ENGAGE GOVERNMENT FUEL ECONOMY RATINGS AND 38-COMBINED.

WE AVERAGED 35.3 MILES WHICH IS A BIT SHORT OF WE AVERAGED IN OUR LONG-TERM THAT WE JUST FINISHED BUT THE CR-V HYBRID STILL AVERAGE ENERGY IMPACT SCORE, AND 3.9 TONS OF CO2 THE HYBRID ALSO COMES WITH AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME HAS HAD TO DEAL WITH JUST THE FRONT WHEELS.

BUT, IT'S LARGELY THE SAME SO, UNLIKE SOME COMPETITORS THE CR-V USES A TRADITIONAL TO THE REARS, CONTROLLED DIFFERENTIAL SLIP IS DETECTED.

SOME THINGS INSIDE ARE UNIQUE, SIMILAR TO THE HONDA REPLACES THE TRADITIONAL THERE ARE ALSO UNIQUE DIGITAL HYBRID POWER-FLOW INFO.

THINGS ARE AS ROOMY WITH THE POSSIBLE EXCEPTION WHICH HAS NEVER BEEN ONE OF ALL CR-Vs WILL SHARE THIS WITH MORE FLEXIBLE STORAGE.

IT DOES HAVE AN EV MODE, BUT IT'S ONLY ENOUGH TO GET YOU AND IT TAKES VERY LIGHT TO KEEP THE GAS ENGINE IT DOES FEEL VERY TORQUEY AND THROTTLE RESPONSE IS OVER THE STANDARD CR-V.

BUT, IT RUNS OUT OF STEAM IT TOOK 7.9 SECONDS TO HIT WHICH IS ACTUALLY FOUR-TENTHS THE QUARTER-MILE TIME WAS JUST AT 16.3 SECONDS WE GIVE THIS GEN CR-V AND, DESPITE A HYBRID WEIGHT EVERYTHING REMAINS LARGELY THE SUSPENSION HAS BEEN NOT FOR PERFORMANCE SAKE, ADDITIONAL WEIGHT.

THROUGH THE CONES, IT FELT EVERYTHING IS WRAPPED IN NEWLY AND NOT JUST SPECIFIC TO AS ALL 20s GET A MID-CYCLE AND REAR FASCIAS, HYBRIDS GAIN UNIQUE FOG LIGHTS FRONT BUMPER; ALONG WITH AVAILABLE IN ALL TRIM LEVELS, HYBRID PRICING STARTS AT AND OF COURSE, $1,200 OVER AN LX TRIMMED THE 2020 HONDA CR-V HYBRID SMALL HYBRID SUV SEGMENT, BUT, THE CR-V HYBRID HAS PLUS...A FAMILY-FRIENDLY NATURE TO ROAM IN THE CABIN.

NO WONDER, THE CR-V IS COMPACT CROSSOVER OF ALL TIME.

AND MUCH LIKE THE TOYOTA RAV4, A MORE EFFICIENT CR-V, AND THAT MEANS MORE SALES.

HONDA HAS MADE A RENEWED THE BATTERY OPTIONS AND THIS CR-V HYBRID A GREAT WAY TO KICK THAT OFF.

* THE PRESTIGIOUS AMELIA ISLAND CELEBRATED ITS 25TH ANNIVERSARY AUTOMOBILE AFICIONADOS FLOCKED TO GET A GLIMPSE OF HUNDREDS OF BUT IN BETWEEN ALL THE GLITZ, POMP, AND CIRCUMSTANCE WERE CARS AS OUR FYI'S STEPHANIE HART SOME OF THE BIGGEST AT THIS YEAR'S CONCOURS' * Stephanie Hart: IS HOSTING THIS EVENT, TO HONOR THE AUTOMOBILE FOR THEIR BEAUTY, SPEED, TO TAKE US WHERE WE WANT TO GO.

* [CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING] JUST BEYOND THOSE BEAUTIES, * [CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING] John Kristoff/Owner: IN THE CUTE CAR CLASS.

Stephanie: WELL, THESE TWO DAYS BEFORE SHOWING THEIR CAR JOHN AND JOY TIED THE KNOT.

HOW EXCITING IS THAT?

John & Joy Kristoff: YEAH...YES!

Stephanie: THE COUPLE'S CAR John K.: SO ONE OF APPROXIMATELY, TO RACE.

AND IT RACED IN ITALY IN 1957 IN CLASS IN AMELIA, AMELIA.

Stephanie: AND TODAY, AT AMELIA ISLAND.

SOUNDS LIKE A STORYBOOK ENDING Joy: IT'S ABSOLUTELY PERFECT AND WINNING AN AWARD WAS ELEVEN CARS COMPETED AUTOMOBILES THAT ARE RARELY OR EVEN ACKNOWLEDGED IN MANY PEOPLE SEE THEM AS A BUT THEY'RE AN IMPORTANT LIKE, THIS MATHIS VL 333, 3-WHEEL CAR!

IT'S THE ONLY CAR OF I HOPPED IN TO CHECK IT OUT!

IN 1942, THE GOAL WAS TO BUILD FUEL-EFFICIENT AUTOMOBILE TO SELL AFTER THE WAR.

AND YOU WOULD BE SURPRISED REALLY ARE.

NINE CARS WERE PRODUCED Oliver Cerf: AFTER THE WAR, IN 1946.

AND THEN, AFTER THAT IT WAS WAS TOO EXPENSIVE AND RONALD CITROEN WERE GONNA SO THEY NEVER WENT INTO Stephanie: WHICH MAKES IT TO SEE TODAY!

* [CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING] IN THE LATE 1950s, WAS PRIMARILY USED AS TO TAKE THE RICH AND FAMOUS AND THEY DID IT IN STYLE AS YOU AND THIS CANOPY TOP, Gregory Johnson: IS THAT MANY OF THEM WERE THEY WERE MADE BY COACH BUILDERS AND MASERATI'S, AND MUCH, Stephanie: FROM ELEGANT, THE 1957 BMW ISETTA.

THIS IS THE CAR THAT SAVED BMW Bob Bailey: PEOPLE OBVIOUSLY, AFTER THE WAR AND THEY WERE LOW PRICED CARS THAT GOT GREAT Stephanie: THIS QUALIFIES, BMW MOTORCYCLE ENGINE WHAT KIND OF FEELING DO YOU GET Bob: WELL, IT'S A THRILL.

YOU KNOW, YOU GET UP TO AND THEY'RE A LITTLE BIT BUT IT'S A LOT OF FUN TO DRIVE.

AT AMELIA ISLAND, AND I THINK ABOUT A THOUSAND ALL THE LITTLE KIDS JUST YOU KNOW, THERE ARE CARS, BUT I LET ALL THE KIDS SIT IN Stephanie: MOSTLY, SO MANY DIFFERENT CARS ON OF THE AMELIA ISLAND CONCOURS John: DOWN AT GOSS'S GARAGE, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN FROM GIVING YOU GREAT ADVICE.

* Pat Goss: SUNROOFS ARE BECOMING THEY'RE ARE ALMOST STANDARD BUT, CONTRARY TO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO SOME NOW, THAT MAINTENANCE CONSISTS THAT MOVES LIKE THIS MOVES UP AND DOWN.

WELL, IT MOVES ON PIVOT POINTS IS A POSSIBLE WEAR SPOT.

SO, YOU USE SOMETHING LIKE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

YOU DON'T USE A HEAVY BECAUSE THE CHASSIS GREASE SO, USE THE PROPER GREASE, THE TROLLEYS THAT THE SUNROOF YOU DO THAT, WITH ANY OF THOSE PARTS.

NEXT THING IS THAT YOU HAVE THESE TROUGHS ARE IN HERE YOU KNOW, SUN ROOFS ARE WATER COMES IN, AND THEN RUNS OUT THROUGH POSITIONED IN THE CORNERS NOW, THOSE DRAIN TUBES CAN GET FROM TREES AND JUST SO, YOU HAVE TO CLEAN THEM.

WELL, YOU DON'T DO THAT NOW, ONE THING THAT I SUPPOSE...IS YOU CAN USE BUT MAKE SURE THAT IS TURNED WAY DOWN, BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T, YOU BLOW THE TUBING OFF THEN YOU'VE GOT A MAJOR REPAIR ANOTHER THING, YOU CAN DO IS YOU COULD WASH THIS AREA AND PUT TO HELP KEEP IT CLEAN.

THE OTHER THING YOU WANT THESE THINGS CLOG UP OUT OF SO, YOU TAKE YOUR SHOP VAC OUT OF THIS.

AND THAT OF COURSE, NOW, THE OTHER THING THAT IN SOME CASES TO CLEAN THOSE CANNED AIR IS LOW PRESSURE, SO AND THAT WILL CLEAN THEM OUT.

ALRIGHT, ANOTHER THING IS THAT SEAL THINGS UP, AND SO ON...

THEY SHOULD BE SPRAYED WITH AND PLIABLE, SO, 15 MINUTES OF ONCE OR TWICE A YEAR, A LOT OF FUTURE PROBLEMS AND IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION RIGHT HERE AT MOTORWEEK .

[CAR DOOR CLOSES] John: TIME TO GRAB THE KEYS TO ANOTHER QUICKSPIN.

* Jessica Ray: THE FULLY-ELECTRIC WITH THE OFFICIAL LAUNCH WELL, NOT QUITE, AS IT WON'T GO BUT, CADILLAC SAYS THIS IS 80% PRODUCTION TRUE.

THIS ATTRACTIVE CLEAN SHEET NOT ONLY DEBUTS GM'S NEW MODULAR AND THEIR ULTIUM PROPULSION BUT BRINGS TO LIFE CADILLAC'S AND INTRODUCES A WHOLE SLEW INCLUDING AUGMENTED-REALITY ENHANCED SUPER CRUISE, WITH THE HIGHEST PIXEL DENSITY TO THIS POINT.

EXPECT BATTERY RANGE TO BE NEAR SILENT OPERATION IN REAR AND THE TRUE INDULGENT THAT CADILLAC HAS BEEN MISSING WE'LL HAVE MORE ON AS ADDITIONAL DETAILS Greg Carloss: FANS OF THE SHOW THE SUBARU CROSSTREK.

IT'S "JUST RIGHT" SIZE MAKE IT A GREAT CHOICE FOR AND FAR AFIELD.

BUT, IF THERE'S BEEN ONE FOR THE CROSSTREK; NOW, SUBARU DID GRANT WITH A WHOPPING FOUR AND IN 2019 WITH SOME BUT, 2021 SEES SUBARU WITH THE AVAILABILITY 182 HORSEPOWER 2.5 LITER THAT'S A 30 HORSEPOWER INCREASE THE NEW 2.5 COMES STANDARD WITH SPORT, YOU SAY?

YES, THERE'S A NEW SPORT TRIM FEATURING THE DUAL-MODE VERSION GUNMETAL EXTERIOR TRIM, OVER DARK GRAY AND STARTEX UPHOLSTERY John: SUBARU IS NOT HORSEPOWER AROUND LAVISHLY, HIGH PERFORMANCE MODEL.

SO, ADDING 30 EXTRA HORSES IS A BIG DEAL.

BUT, IF YOU AREN'T CRAZY ABOUT TO GET IT, AND YOU DON'T THAT COMES WITH IT, IS ALSO FITTED TO SO, YOU CAN GET THE EXTRA POWER TRIMS LEVELS AVAILABLE.

ONE MORE BENEFIT OF BETTER FUEL ECONOMY.

A NICE JUMP FROM 30 MPG COMBINED Greg: AND THERE'S STILL MORE!

ALL '21 CROSSTREK'S GET A NEW A UNIQUE GRILLE THAT'S FOR EACH TRIM LEVEL.

Jessica: SO THE FRONT END DOESN'T CHANGE THIS COMPACT CROSSOVER AND EVEN THOUGH, AWAY FROM THE NEXT GENERATION THESE NEW FRONT FEATURES REDESIGNED BIG BROTHER: AND THIS BEING SUBARU, THE OPPORTUNITY TO THROW IN WHILE THEY WERE AT IT; ADDING WITH LANE CENTERING TO 2021 SUBARU CROSSTREK'S SHOULD BEFORE THE END OF THE SUMMER, JUST UNDER $23,000.

AND WE'LL HAVE MORE GET BEHIND THE WHEEL, John: TIME TO HEAD INSIDE NOW AND ALL THE LATEST MOTORNEWS.

Lauren Morrison: THE AVERAGE AGE KEEPS ON CLIMBING.

THE AVERAGE VEHICLE AGE IS NOW AND THAT REPRESENTS A 24 PERCENT WHEN THE AVERAGE WAS 9.6 YEARS.

I-H-S MARKIT, SAYS, "AFFORDABILITY, AND VEHICLE QUALITY, ARE KEEPING THEIR VEHICLES FORD OR CHEVY?

BMW OR MERCEDES?

WHEN IT COMES TO VEHICLE BRANDS, AND WOOING A BUYER IS BECOMING HARDER AND HARDER.

FOR THEIR U-S AUTOMOTIVE BRAND J-D POWER LOOKED AT WHETHER THE SAME BRAND AFTER TRADING IN FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW, FOR LUXURY BRANDS, SUBARU RANKS HIGHEST WITH A LOYALTY RATE OF THOUSANDS OF FAST CHARGING AND SUBURBS ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

GENERAL MOTORS AND EV-GO HAVE 2700 FAST CHARGING STATIONS G-M SAYS, "THE STATIONS WILL BE AND MOST WILL BE ABLE TO CHARGE THE STATIONS WILL ALSO FEATURE WITH 100 TO 350 KILOWATT THE NEEDS OF INCREASINGLY THE NEW EV-GO FAST CHARGING IN EARLY 2021.

AND THAT DOES IT FOR THIS WEEK'S John: BY NOW, THE ALL-NEW C8 GENERATION OF YEARS IN THE MAKING, SEEMINGLY TOOK FOREVER BUT FROM OUR VERY FIRST STREET SO MUCH SO, BEST OF THE YEAR.

WELL NOW, * WE'RE GOING TO DISPEL SOME HEARD ABOUT THE ALL-NEW 2020 RIGHT FROM THE GET GO.

DESPITE ALL THE CLAIMS, RETAIL MID-ENGINE CORVETTE.

MOST RECENT CORVETTES, HAVE PLACED THE ENGINE THAT...TECHNICALLY, BUT, THIS IS THE FIRST TO HAVE THE ENGINE MOUNTED THE COLLOQUIAL DEFINITION NEXT, THAT ENGINE SHIFT DID NOT EVERY DIMENSION EXCEPT FOR WHEELBASE IS UP HALF AN INCH, OF ADDITIONAL OVERALL LENGTH.

IT WEIGHS MORE TOO, DEPENDING ON EQUIPMENT.

THE SHORT/LONG ARM DOUBLE THE SAME IN FRONT AND REAR, COIL-OVER SHOCKS IN PLACE OF TRANSVERSE LEAF SPRINGS, MUCH EASIER TO ADJUST TRULY A PLUS FOR TRACK DAY THERE ARE THREE DIFFERENT THE BASIC SLA SETUP, WHICH GETS FIRMER TUNING ADJUSTABLE SPRING SEATS, YOU CAN ADD MAGNETIC BUT WHILE, WE'RE GETTING THIS VETTE IS STILL POWERED BY AND ONE WITH THE CAM IN ITS THE NEW LT2 6.2 LITER A MAX OF 495 HORSEPOWER OF TORQUE FOR NOW.

NO WORD YET, ON WHETHER THIS ENGINE, OR BE BASED ON DOWN RIVER FROM THERE IS TRANSMISSION, WITH PADDLES AS WELL AS TOGGLES AND BUTTONS REVERSE, AND PARK.

IT ALL WORKS TOGETHER NEVER BEFORE ATTAINED THANKS TO THAT ENGINE CRANKING AND 60 MILES PER HOUR ARRIVING HANDLING IS WHAT SPURRED OF COURSE, AS ENGINEERS FELT ON THE SAME PLAYING FIELD AND AFTER JUST A FEW LAPS AROUND SPRING MOUNTAIN MOTOR RESORT, THAT THE CORVETTE'S ENTIRE THE CAR'S CENTER OF GRAVITY, SO YOU CAN FEEL THE CAR PIVOT AND WHERE BEFORE, ON HIGH ALERT FOR OVERSTEER, OF AN UNDERSTEER SITUATION.

PLACING THE WEIGHT OF THE ENGINE THUS SHIFTING THE WEIGHT BIAS BEFORE ADDING A DRIVER, THE BACK TIRES INTO STEERING IS SHARP, AND IT DANCES FROM APEX TO APEX; DYNAMIC STINGRAY YET.

BUT DESPITE THE DRASTIC CHANGE IT RETAINS A STRONG FAMILY THE FACE HAS A VERY WITH THE HEADLIGHTS MOUNTED UP THERE'S MUCH LESS HOOD UP FRONT AND MORE OF A CANOPY LOOK THE INTERIOR VIBE IS NOT BUT THE LOOK AND FEEL OF THINGS THE BIGGEST DEPARTURE IS A NEW THAT SEPARATES DRIVER AND HOUSES A LONG ROW OF THERE ARE A PAIR OF SCREENS BOTH POINTED AT THE DRIVER.

A 12.0 INCH CONFIGURABLE AND A SMALLER 8.0 INCH SCREEN CHANCES ARE, FEW CORVETTES WILL OF JUST $59,995, BUT YOU COULD; AND IT'S TRULY AN ENGINEERING THIS MUCH CAR AVAILABLE SO YES, THE 2020 IS THE BEST BASE CORVETTE EVER.

BUT, WE EXPECTED THAT.
