03:25.833 --> 03:29.600 align:start position:17.5% line:10% size:67.5%
It is so fast, and power is
delivered so suddenly;
03:29.733 --> 03:32.166 align:start position:15% line:10% size:70%
that it truly does take some
time to fully wrap

is essentially a GT car

this hard around a road course.
03:40.200 --> 03:44.500 align:start position:15% line:10% size:70%
True to the GTS formula, the
bulk of the suspension hardware
03:44.633 --> 03:48.733 align:start position:15% line:10% size:72.5%
trickles down from the Turbo,
but tuning is recalibrated,
03:48.866 --> 03:52.566 align:start position:20% line:10% size:62.5%
along with the powertrain
for a total package approach.
03:52.700 --> 03:55.433 align:start position:10% line:10% size:80%
All-wheel drive is standard with
both a front-mounted
03:55.566 --> 03:58.000 align:start position:27.5% line:10% size:45%
electric motor and
a rear-mounted unit
03:58.133 --> 04:01.633 align:start position:17.5% line:10% size:65%
with an integrated 2-speed
automatic transmission.
04:01.766 --> 04:06.000 align:start position:12.5% line:10% size:77.5%
The total 590 horsepower output
comes in 80 less than
04:06.133 --> 04:09.266 align:start position:30% line:10% size:40%
the Turbo's 670;
torque rating is actually
04:09.400 --> 04:13.500 align:start position:17.5% line:10% size:67.5%
the same at 626 pound-feet.
04:13.633 --> 04:16.966 align:start position:12.5% line:10% size:75%
And while, it won't get you to
60 in under 3.0 seconds
04:17.100 --> 04:24.366 align:start position:15% line:10% size:72.5%
like the Turbo S...it took us
only 3.5 seconds,
04:24.500 --> 04:27.833 align:start position:15% line:10% size:70%
which is more than enough to
satisfy most people's need
04:27.966 --> 04:29.366 align:start position:37.5% line:10% size:25%
for speed.
04:29.500 --> 04:33.166 align:start position:12.5% line:10% size:77.5%
There's no real let up in power
throughout the quarter-mile,
04:33.300 --> 04:36.766 align:start position:25% line:10% size:50%
but unlike most EVs,
there is an additional punch
04:36.900 --> 04:39.533 align:start position:25% line:10% size:50%
from behind when the
transmission shifts itself
04:39.666 --> 04:42.433 align:start position:32.5% line:10% size:37.5%
into high gear.
04:42.566 --> 04:45.666 align:start position:20% line:10% size:60%
Still, it's a remarkably
smooth experience
04:45.800 --> 04:52.566 align:start position:10% line:10% size:80%
that's over in just 11.6 seconds
at 127 miles per hour.
04:52.700 --> 04:54.866 align:start position:17.5% line:10% size:65%
So, while in straight line
heroics,
04:55.000 --> 04:58.000 align:start position:22.5% line:10% size:57.5%
the GTS' weight largely
disappears,
04:58.133 --> 05:00.633 align:start position:27.5% line:10% size:45%
around the rest of
Roebling Road Raceway--
05:00.766 --> 05:04.100 align:start position:17.5% line:10% size:65%
you can certainly feel it,
but not in an awkward way--
05:04.233 --> 05:07.866 align:start position:20% line:10% size:60%
more like a fleet-footed
heavyweight with a genius
05:08.000 --> 05:10.833 align:start position:12.5% line:10% size:75%
suspension setup providing the
footwork to make this car
05:10.966 --> 05:15.100 align:start position:27.5% line:10% size:47.5%
feel dialed in like
an overgrown 911.
05:15.233 --> 05:18.666 align:start position:10% line:10% size:80%
EVs certainly make for a quieter
experience than most
05:18.800 --> 05:21.733 align:start position:17.5% line:10% size:67.5%
gasoline-engine track cars.
05:21.866 --> 05:24.466 align:start position:17.5% line:10% size:67.5%
But this Taycan is far from
silent;
05:24.600 --> 05:27.033 align:start position:25% line:10% size:52.5%
with plenty of unique
high-powered electric motor
05:27.166 --> 05:30.633 align:start position:12.5% line:10% size:75%
sounds to accompany you around
the track.
05:30.766 --> 05:33.566 align:start position:17.5% line:10% size:67.5%
Likewise, the tires started
squealing early,
05:33.733 --> 05:36.533 align:start position:17.5% line:10% size:67.5%
yet, maintained great grip;
05:36.666 --> 05:40.066 align:start position:17.5% line:10% size:65%
rear-axle steering is also
available as is Porsche's
05:40.200 --> 05:42.766 align:start position:12.5% line:10% size:75%
Dynamic Chassis Control Sport.
05:42.900 --> 05:45.033 align:start position:20% line:10% size:60%
Steering feel is classic
Porsche,
05:45.166 --> 05:51.200 align:start position:10% line:10% size:80%
making for an incredibly fun and
rewarding driving experience.
05:51.333 --> 05:55.400 align:start position:20% line:10% size:60%
The GTS uses the Turbo's
93.4 kilowatt hour
05:55.533 --> 06:00.000 align:start position:20% line:10% size:62.5%
Performance Battery Plus,
with 246 miles of range,
06:00.133 --> 06:01.866 align:start position:32.5% line:10% size:35%
but of course,
it was much more fun
06:02.000 --> 06:05.400 align:start position:17.5% line:10% size:65%
being less concerned about
range and discharging it
06:05.533 --> 06:07.533 align:start position:22.5% line:10% size:57.5%
as quickly as possible.
06:07.666 --> 06:11.500 align:start position:12.5% line:10% size:75%
And with 800 volt architecture
that allows for up to

270 kilowatt charging,
you can be back making laps

06:18.933 --> 06:22.633 align:start position:10% line:10% size:80%
Inside, you'll find the Taycan's

06:28.833 --> 06:33.566 align:start position:17.5% line:10% size:67.5%
Unique GTS elements include
Race-Tex materials, black trim,
06:33.700 --> 06:35.166 align:start position:27.5% line:10% size:45%
and lots of logos.
06:35.300 --> 06:39.366 align:start position:10% line:10% size:80%

the GTS has a fair

08:31.600 --> 08:35.066 align:start position:15% line:58% size:72.5%
if you're shopping for a used
car online from a third-party
08:35.200 --> 08:38.900 align:start position:17.5% line:58% size:67.5%
like Craigslist or Facebook
Marketplace because in the end
08:39.033 --> 08:41.566 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:57.5%
it could be hard to get
a license plate.
08:41.700 --> 08:44.733 align:start position:10% line:79.33% size:80%
But there are resources that can
help you before you sign
08:44.866 --> 08:46.766 align:start position:25% line:84.67% size:50%
on that dotted line.
08:46.900 --> 08:50.733 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:77.5%
Beth Caro owns Auto Tag Connect
in Annapolis, Maryland.
08:50.866 --> 08:52.600 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:47.5%
Her company is acts
as an extension
08:52.733 --> 08:55.666 align:start position:10% line:79.33% size:80%
of the Maryland State Department
of Motor Vehicles.
08:55.800 --> 08:59.266 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70%
She says tons of people come
into her office everyday
08:59.400 --> 09:01.900 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:50%
with the same story:
they bought a used car
09:02.033 --> 09:06.100 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:77.5%
from a third party, never asked
about its title beforehand,
09:06.233 --> 09:09.833 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:52.5%
and come to find out,
it has a salvage branded title
09:09.966 --> 09:12.333 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:67.5%
which, more often than not,
causes big,
09:12.466 --> 09:15.133 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:70%
expensive problems for them.
09:15.266 --> 09:17.166 align:start position:17.5% line:58% size:65%
BETH CARO: A salvage title
is basically,
09:17.300 --> 09:20.633 align:start position:12.5% line:58% size:77.5%
when a vehicle has gone through
a total loss accident
09:20.766 --> 09:23.866 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:72.5%
and an auto insurance company
has determined that vehicle
09:24.000 --> 09:25.566 align:start position:35% line:84.67% size:32.5%
a total loss.
09:25.700 --> 09:28.833 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:72.5%
And most states across the US
that's determined
09:28.966 --> 09:31.866 align:start position:25% line:84.67% size:52.5%
at 60-to-100 percent.
09:32.000 --> 09:33.066 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65%
STEPHANIE: A salvage title
means,
09:33.200 --> 09:35.766 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:77.5%
the automobile can't be driven,
sold,
09:35.900 --> 09:38.533 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70%
or registered in its current
condition,
09:38.666 --> 09:41.766 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:72.5%
which makes getting insurance
a big challenge.
09:41.900 --> 09:43.866 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:62.5%
BETH: They might not even
be able to get approved
09:44.000 --> 09:46.633 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:67.5%
to have an active insurance
policy on that car
09:46.766 --> 09:48.133 align:start position:27.5% line:84.67% size:47.5%
with that branding.
09:48.266 --> 09:51.733 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70%
So, it's really important to
think about what you're going
09:51.866 --> 09:53.666 align:start position:12.5% line:84.67% size:75%
to be doing with that vehicle.
09:53.800 --> 09:55.833 align:start position:10% line:79.33% size:80%
Are you going to be reselling it
in a year?
09:55.966 --> 09:59.633 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:77.5%
Because that value on a salvage
vehicle is significantly lower
09:59.766 --> 10:03.300 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:77.5%
and sometimes may not even have
a resale value.
10:03.433 --> 10:05.300 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70%
STEPHANIE: By law, if you're
buying a used vehicle
10:05.433 --> 10:08.733 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70%
that has been in an accident
and has a salvage title,
10:08.866 --> 10:11.133 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55%
the third-party seller
or the dealership
10:11.266 --> 10:15.366 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65%
must disclose that to you;
but, that doesn't always happen,
10:15.500 --> 10:18.066 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70%
especially when dealing with
private sellers.
10:18.200 --> 10:20.533 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:75%
So, what can you do to protect
yourself?
10:20.666 --> 10:22.666 align:start position:15% line:58% size:72.5%
CHRIS BROWN: There's a lot of
things as a consumer,
10:22.800 --> 10:26.300 align:start position:15% line:58% size:72.5%
not being an expert, that you
can look for on your own
10:26.433 --> 10:29.366 align:start position:17.5% line:58% size:67.5%
to see if a car has been in
an accident.
10:29.500 --> 10:31.600 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:57.5%
All these stickers here
are from the factory.
10:31.733 --> 10:33.200 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:47.5%
Usually, when a car
has been in an accident
10:33.333 --> 10:34.466 align:start position:17.5% line:84.67% size:65%
these do not get replaced.
10:34.600 --> 10:37.333 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:62.5%
They'll replace the piece
under it, but not these here.
10:37.466 --> 10:40.333 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70%
The bolts here-to put things
together-- if they're different
10:40.466 --> 10:43.000 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70%
and they don't match they're
def- definitely was not done
10:43.133 --> 10:45.000 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:42.5%
at the factory or
a professional shop.
10:45.133 --> 10:46.433 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60%
STEPHANIE: And consumers
should always check
10:46.566 --> 10:47.466 align:start position:30% line:84.67% size:40%
the VIN plate...
10:47.600 --> 10:48.733 align:start position:37.5% line:84.67% size:27.5%
CHRIS: Yes.
10:48.866 --> 10:50.366 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70%
They should always check the
VIN plate and also make sure
10:50.500 --> 10:52.133 align:start position:17.5% line:84.67% size:67.5%
it aligns with their title.
10:52.266 --> 10:54.433 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:75%
In the VIN plate on most cars,
if you look carefully,
10:54.566 --> 10:55.700 align:start position:27.5% line:84.67% size:47.5%
there's a hologram.
10:55.833 --> 10:57.633 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:62.5%
It can't be counterfeited
with the hologram.
10:57.766 --> 10:59.766 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:67.5%
Make sure the VIN number is
either riveted
10:59.900 --> 11:01.666 align:start position:17.5% line:84.67% size:67.5%
or there's no screws in it.
11:01.800 --> 11:03.633 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:72.5%
If someone's tampered with it
there's going to be screws,
11:03.766 --> 11:05.133 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:70%
it's not gonna look factory.
11:05.266 --> 11:07.933 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:77.5%
STEPHANIE: And consumers always
want to check the door jamb
11:08.066 --> 11:09.533 align:start position:17.5% line:84.67% size:65%
for a matching VIN number.
11:09.666 --> 11:12.500 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:77.5%
CHRIS: Yes, and this VIN number
should also match
11:12.633 --> 11:15.433 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60%
what is on the title and
obviously what's up on
11:15.566 --> 11:16.900 align:start position:25% line:84.67% size:50%
the dashboard there.
11:17.033 --> 11:19.733 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:62.5%
STEPHANIE: Next, use that
VIN number to run the vehicle's
11:19.866 --> 11:22.633 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:75%
national car history report to
find out,
11:22.766 --> 11:25.733 align:start position:10% line:79.33% size:80%
if their car you want to buy has
a clean title.
11:25.866 --> 11:29.566 align:start position:10% line:79.33% size:80%
The National Motor Vehicle Title
Information is an association
11:29.700 --> 11:33.433 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65%
that oversees the DMVs and
is a great resource.
11:33.566 --> 11:36.833 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:62.5%
So are title search firm,
like CarFax.
11:36.966 --> 11:39.366 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55%
A car's history report
also reveals,
11:39.500 --> 11:41.133 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:60%
if it's been in a flood.
11:41.266 --> 11:44.533 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55%
If so, it's considered
a salvage vehicle.
11:44.666 --> 11:48.133 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:72.5%
Caro recommends steering away
from flood vehicles
11:48.266 --> 11:50.800 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70%
even if it seems like a good
deal.
11:50.933 --> 11:53.166 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55%
BETH: Let me tell you:
that mold and mildew
11:53.300 --> 11:54.966 align:start position:30% line:84.67% size:42.5%
does not go away.
11:55.100 --> 11:59.400 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:77.5%
The electrical sans do not like
that and what's going to happen
11:59.533 --> 12:02.500 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55%
is an electrical demon
in your car.
12:02.633 --> 12:04.066 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:62.5%
STEPHANIE: In addition to
looking over the car's
12:04.200 --> 12:06.866 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:67.5%
history report to check for
a clean title,
12:07.000 --> 12:10.500 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:72.5%
it's smart to have a mechanic
check out the vehicle
12:10.633 --> 12:14.166 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:72.5%
to make sure it's 100 percent
safe to drive.
12:15.633 --> 12:18.733 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:72.5%
JOHN: A good paint job can be
a big selling point;
12:18.866 --> 12:21.833 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:72.5%
maybe even the reason you buy
the car in the first place.
12:21.966 --> 12:24.866 align:start position:32.5% line:79.33% size:35%
But over time,
it can start to wear.
12:25.000 --> 12:27.566 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:75%
Well, Dan Maffett shows us how
to deal with some common
12:27.700 --> 12:30.700 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:72.5%
paint problems in this week's
"Your Drive."
12:31.666 --> 12:35.400 align:start position:10% line:84.67% size:7.5%
♪ ♪
12:35.533 --> 12:36.733 align:start position:15% line:47.33% size:72.5%
DAN MAFFETT: Paint correction
is one of those things
12:36.866 --> 12:39.500 align:start position:15% line:47.33% size:72.5%
that intimidates most people,
but if you know what to look for
12:39.633 --> 12:42.700 align:start position:12.5% line:47.33% size:77.5%
and you know what tools to use,
it's really quite simple.
12:42.833 --> 12:45.166 align:start position:12.5% line:47.33% size:75%
First thing, you want to do is
assess your surface.
12:45.300 --> 12:47.933 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:77.5%
Make sure you know what kind of
paint you're dealing with,
12:48.066 --> 12:49.766 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:75%
and what kind of imperfections
are in the paint.
12:49.900 --> 12:52.033 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:72.5%
Or, what kind of contaminants
are on top.
12:52.166 --> 12:55.333 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70%
First thing, I like to do is
the fingernail test.
12:55.466 --> 12:59.766 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70%
I like to find a scratch and
dig my nail across it.
12:59.900 --> 13:02.266 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:62.5%
If your nail hangs on it,
it can't be fixed
13:02.400 --> 13:04.633 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:72.5%
with just buffing or any kind
of chemicals.
13:04.766 --> 13:07.666 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65%
The scratch is through the
surface of the clearcoat
13:07.800 --> 13:10.233 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60%
and it's into the primer
or even the basecoat.
13:10.366 --> 13:13.233 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:57.5%
So, once you find that,
you gotten move on past that,
13:13.366 --> 13:17.900 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65%
but you can bring back the
paint to a certain extent
13:18.033 --> 13:20.700 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:62.5%
with something like this:
a clay bar.
13:20.866 --> 13:23.500 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65%
You can use a clay bar and
a little bit of spray wax
13:23.633 --> 13:26.766 align:start position:32.5% line:79.33% size:35%
for lubricant,
you can spray your surface
13:26.900 --> 13:29.633 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:72.5%
and work this clay bar across
the surface.
13:29.766 --> 13:32.200 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:72.5%
As you go across the surface,
you're going to feel it
13:32.333 --> 13:35.600 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65%
get smoother and smoother,
and anytime it snags,
13:35.733 --> 13:37.266 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:72.5%
it's picking up contaminants.
13:37.400 --> 13:41.066 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:62.5%
It'll actually change the
color to a nice brown.
13:41.200 --> 13:43.033 align:start position:10% line:79.33% size:80%
That's how you know it's picking
up all the contaminants
13:43.166 --> 13:45.066 align:start position:22.5% line:84.67% size:57.5%
that are in that paint.
13:45.200 --> 13:47.200 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55%
Once, you've got that,
you just clean it off
13:47.333 --> 13:49.566 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:67.5%
and make it nice and smooth
again,
13:49.700 --> 13:52.366 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70%
and with this surface that's
kind of neglected for a while,
13:52.500 --> 13:55.000 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:57.5%
so you want to go ahead
and use a compound,
13:55.133 --> 13:58.166 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60%
something like this with
a color-matching pad
13:58.300 --> 14:01.433 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70%
will allow you to put a nice
buff across the surface,
14:01.566 --> 14:02.900 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:62.5%
and it'll just level out.
14:03.033 --> 14:05.766 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:67.5%
It's a little aggressive...
level out the top of that paint.
14:05.900 --> 14:11.166 align:start position:10% line:79.33% size:80%
And then, you can clean that off
and then go with a compound wax,
14:11.300 --> 14:13.200 align:start position:10% line:84.67% size:80%
that's made for a rotary buffer.
14:13.333 --> 14:15.933 align:start position:12.5% line:68.67% size:77.5%
And what that does is activated
it by heat and pressure,
14:16.066 --> 14:17.500 align:start position:37.5% line:68.67% size:25%
and speed.
14:17.633 --> 14:20.500 align:start position:17.5% line:68.67% size:67.5%
So, with a buffer like this
spinning at a certain RPM,
14:20.633 --> 14:22.900 align:start position:17.5% line:68.67% size:67.5%
it's going to activate that
wax and smooth it
14:23.033 --> 14:25.066 align:start position:27.5% line:68.67% size:47.5%
across the surface.
14:25.200 --> 14:27.566 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60%
How do you know you have
enough pressure or speed?
14:27.700 --> 14:31.600 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70%
Take an ordinary buffer like
this, sharpie like this,
14:31.733 --> 14:35.633 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:67.5%
and you do a line at twelve
and six.
14:35.766 --> 14:37.800 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:72.5%
And, when you put those lines
on there,
14:37.933 --> 14:40.433 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:77.5%
when you have the proper speed,
and you're looking down
14:40.566 --> 14:42.800 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45%

that space should be about
14:42.933 --> 14:45.200 align:start position:25% line:84.67% size:52.5%
a quarter-inch apart.

JESSICA RAY: The mid-size Honda
Accord is one of the brand's
15:09.166 --> 15:11.300 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:62.5%
most successful vehicles.
15:11.433 --> 15:14.400 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:67.5%
And while, other brands are
killing off their family sedans,
15:14.533 --> 15:17.366 align:start position:40% line:58% size:22.5%
for 2023,
Honda is celebrating the arrival
15:17.500 --> 15:20.133 align:start position:12.5% line:58% size:75%
of the 11th generation Accord.
15:21.200 --> 15:25.766 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:52.5%
A carryover 1.5 liter
turbocharged I4 is standard,
15:25.900 --> 15:29.933 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:72.5%
and once again a gas-electric
hybrid powertrain is available.
15:30.066 --> 15:32.966 align:start position:40% line:79.33% size:20%
However,
it is a revamped hybrid system,
15:33.100 --> 15:37.133 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60%
akin to the CR-V hybrid,
that pairs a 2.0 liter I4
15:37.266 --> 15:42.033 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70%
with two-electric motors for
a total output of 204 horsepower
15:42.166 --> 15:45.333 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:72.5%
and 247 pound-feet of torque.
15:45.466 --> 15:49.900 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:75%
Our Touring model tester rates
44 MPG combined.
15:50.033 --> 15:55.066 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:72.5%
So, not only is it efficient,
this hybrid is fun to drive.
15:55.200 --> 15:56.900 align:start position:10% line:79.33% size:80%
ALEXANDER KELLUM: I think a good
way to summarize driving
15:57.033 --> 15:59.133 align:start position:32.5% line:58% size:37.5%
the new Accord,
or at least the Accord Hybrid,
15:59.266 --> 16:00.966 align:start position:32.5% line:58% size:35%
is satisfying.
16:01.100 --> 16:03.400 align:start position:12.5% line:58% size:75%
It has enough power to do what
you need it to do,
16:03.533 --> 16:04.800 align:start position:20% line:58% size:62.5%
and to do so comfortably.
16:04.933 --> 16:07.100 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:42.5%
And, speaking of,
it is a comfortable ride
16:07.233 --> 16:08.933 align:start position:17.5% line:84.67% size:67.5%
without being too "floaty."
16:09.066 --> 16:11.433 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:67.5%
Actually, I'd say that this
handles exceptionally well
16:11.566 --> 16:14.566 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65%
for a sedan of this size--
it's not quite as darty
16:14.700 --> 16:16.433 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:50%
as the latest Civic,
for example,
16:16.566 --> 16:19.300 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:67.5%
but still well-balanced and
receptive to my modest
16:19.433 --> 16:21.366 align:start position:30% line:84.67% size:40%
commuter inputs.
16:21.500 --> 16:25.066 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:72.5%
JESSICA: Improved handling is
aided by a more rigid chassis
16:25.200 --> 16:29.400 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:57.5%
and tweaked suspension,
all encased by a bolder exterior
16:29.533 --> 16:32.233 align:start position:12.5% line:84.67% size:77.5%
more in line with Honda's SUVs.
16:32.366 --> 16:35.366 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:72.5%
Inside, the biggest "growths"
are tech-related.
16:35.500 --> 16:39.366 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:57.5%
All hybrids come with a
12.3 inch infotainment screen,
16:39.500 --> 16:42.266 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55%
the largest mounted in
a Honda thus far.
16:42.400 --> 16:45.966 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70%
It's sharp and colorful, and
features another Honda-first:
16:46.100 --> 16:50.066 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65%
built-in Google Assistant,
a Touring exclusive.

around $28,000,
16:54.733 --> 16:57.633 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65%
with the hybrid just under
$33,000.
16:57.766 --> 17:02.100 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:62.5%
Our range topping Touring
Hybrid approaches $39K.
17:02.233 --> 17:04.800 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70%
The Accord is still built in
Marysville, Ohio
17:04.933 --> 17:07.866 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:47.5%
after four decades,
and it's available now.

GREG CARLOSS: We're 9-months
into our yearlong parade
17:19.533 --> 17:23.366 align:start position:20% line:58% size:62.5%
of practicality with this
2022 Kia Carnival,
17:23.500 --> 17:26.533 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:75%
and it's been everyone's first
choice for road trips
17:26.666 --> 17:30.133 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65%
regardless of family size;
thanks to its great comfort,
17:30.266 --> 17:34.100 align:start position:15% line:84.67% size:70%
flexibility, and even style.
17:34.233 --> 17:36.633 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65%
It's not the first minivan
to attempt bringing
17:36.766 --> 17:39.200 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65%
SUV design elements to the
segment,
17:39.333 --> 17:41.500 align:start position:12.5% line:84.67% size:77.5%
but easily the most successful.
17:41.633 --> 17:44.300 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65%
And it feels powerful like
an SUV too,
17:44.433 --> 17:49.800 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:77.5%
thanks to the torquey nature of
the 290 horsepower 3.5 liter V6
17:49.933 --> 17:53.900 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:75%
that has us chirping the tires
off the line often.
17:54.033 --> 17:56.666 align:start position:15% line:58% size:70%
The Carnival is a thoroughly
modern minivan,
17:56.800 --> 17:59.900 align:start position:12.5% line:58% size:75%
but its naturally aspirated V6
is a bit of a throwback
18:00.033 --> 18:02.666 align:start position:25% line:58% size:50%
in this era of turbo
4-cylinders.
18:02.800 --> 18:06.366 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:75%
We suspect Kia kept it to give
the Carnival its 3,500 pound
18:06.500 --> 18:08.933 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65%
tow rating and that's fine
by us.
18:09.066 --> 18:12.500 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:75%
Cruising on the highway in 8th
gear does put the engine speed
18:12.633 --> 18:14.466 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55%
quite a bit below peak
torque range,
18:14.600 --> 18:17.933 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55%
so passing can require
a few downshifts.
18:18.066 --> 18:20.433 align:start position:40% line:79.33% size:20%
Luckily,
they're quick and smooth.
18:20.933 --> 18:24.966 align:start position:12.5% line:58% size:75%
Fuel economy is holding steady
at 22.8 miles per gallon,
18:25.100 --> 18:27.600 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70%
and we're looking forward to
getting in a few more
18:27.733 --> 18:30.366 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:72.5%
road trips this spring before
our time with the Carnival
18:30.500 --> 18:31.833 align:start position:30% line:84.67% size:40%
comes to an end.
18:31.966 --> 18:35.300 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65%
We'll plug into what's new
with our Kia EV6

18:43.200 --> 18:47.133 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:62.5%

quite a few fans were not happy
18:47.266 --> 18:51.200 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:77.5%
when the 2nd generation arrived
with a turbo-6 under the hood

18:53.066 --> 18:56.000 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:67.5%

only a V8 will do.
19:14.866 --> 19:17.966 align:start position:22.5% line:10% size:57.5%

702 horsepower TRX pickup,
and for the last few years,

some have viewed Ford's Raptor
as more of a pretender
19:27.100 --> 19:28.966 align:start position:30% line:10% size:42.5%
than a contender.
19:29.100 --> 19:35.366 align:start position:10% line:10% size:80%
Well, the 2023 Ford F-150 Raptor
R not only sets things right
19:35.500 --> 19:38.333 align:start position:37.5% line:10% size:25%
with a V8,
but does it with a high-output
19:38.466 --> 19:42.900 align:start position:12.5% line:10% size:77.5%
supercharged powerplant packing
700 horsepower.
19:43.033 --> 19:47.366 align:start position:12.5% line:10% size:75%
This overhead cam 5.2 liter V8
is mostly the same
19:47.500 --> 19:51.100 align:start position:22.5% line:10% size:55%
as the Shelby GT500's,
but the supercharger
19:51.233 --> 19:54.866 align:start position:15% line:10% size:72.5%
was recalibrated and features
a different pulley setup
19:55.000 --> 19:59.566 align:start position:12.5% line:10% size:75%
to optimize the low-end of its
640 pound-feet of torque.
19:59.700 --> 20:03.333 align:start position:12.5% line:10% size:77.5%
Exhaust manifolds are upgraded,
and oil system revised
20:03.466 --> 20:06.133 align:start position:25% line:10% size:50%
with deeper oil pan,
plus, different cooler
20:06.266 --> 20:07.966 align:start position:27.5% line:10% size:45%
and filter setups.
20:08.100 --> 20:11.733 align:start position:22.5% line:10% size:57.5%
Finally, air volume was
increased by 66 percent
20:11.866 --> 20:14.066 align:start position:17.5% line:10% size:65%
with a much larger intake.
20:14.200 --> 20:15.466 align:start position:22.5% line:10% size:57.5%
The complete driveline,
20:15.600 --> 20:18.066 align:start position:22.5% line:10% size:55%
including the 10-speed
automatic transmission,
20:18.200 --> 20:21.333 align:start position:17.5% line:10% size:67.5%
has been upgraded to handle
the increased power,
20:21.466 --> 20:24.100 align:start position:15% line:10% size:70%
featuring a different torque
converter and whole new
20:24.233 --> 20:25.800 align:start position:37.5% line:10% size:27.5%
front axle.
20:25.933 --> 20:28.333 align:start position:15% line:10% size:70%
In order to make best use of
all of that,
20:28.466 --> 20:32.000 align:start position:17.5% line:10% size:65%
Ford has also upgraded the
suspension with a retuning
20:32.133 --> 20:35.733 align:start position:20% line:10% size:62.5%
of the springs and active
Fox Live Valve shocks,
20:35.866 --> 20:39.233 align:start position:12.5% line:10% size:77.5%
and made 37 inch tires standard
with the R;
20:39.366 --> 20:42.133 align:start position:20% line:10% size:60%
providing 13.1 inches of
ground clearance,
20:42.266 --> 20:45.333 align:start position:12.5% line:10% size:77.5%
about an inch over the standard
Raptor.
20:45.466 --> 20:48.900 align:start position:17.5% line:10% size:67.5%
Rear suspension is the same
5-link coil spring setup
20:49.033 --> 20:50.733 align:start position:30% line:10% size:42.5%
of other Raptors.
20:50.866 --> 20:55.166 align:start position:12.5% line:10% size:75%
While, designed primarily with
high-speed desert runs in mind,
20:55.300 --> 20:58.766 align:start position:12.5% line:10% size:77.5%
these updates certainly improve
the experience on any surface
20:58.900 --> 21:01.266 align:start position:17.5% line:10% size:65%
that's not smoothly paved.
21:01.400 --> 21:05.000 align:start position:10% line:10% size:80%
That was mostly mud in our case,
and nothing we came across
21:05.133 --> 21:08.833 align:start position:10% line:10% size:80%
in our off-road course presented
any real challenge to the R,
21:08.966 --> 21:12.066 align:start position:12.5% line:10% size:77.5%
which will probably be the case
for every Raptor R
21:12.200 --> 21:15.366 align:start position:15% line:10% size:70%
that does indeed venture off
pavement.
21:15.500 --> 21:18.500 align:start position:35% line:10% size:30%
On pavement,
it was impressively comfortable,
21:18.633 --> 21:22.033 align:start position:17.5% line:10% size:65%
and as maneuverable as any
lesser F-150.
21:22.166 --> 21:25.833 align:start position:12.5% line:10% size:75%
Now, just to set it apart from
lesser Raptors,
21:25.966 --> 21:28.500 align:start position:12.5% line:10% size:75%
R's get a taller power dome on
the hood,
21:28.633 --> 21:30.733 align:start position:40% line:10% size:22.5%
R badges,
and blacked out bumpers,
21:30.866 --> 21:34.600 align:start position:10% line:10% size:80%
grille, and fender flares; plus,
"desert-inspired" graphics
21:34.733 --> 21:37.133 align:start position:22.5% line:10% size:55%
that we could probably
do without.
21:37.266 --> 21:40.966 align:start position:20% line:10% size:62.5%
The dark theme is applied
liberally inside as well,
21:41.100 --> 21:43.966 align:start position:22.5% line:10% size:57.5%
broken up with splashes
of real carbon fiber
21:44.100 --> 21:46.966 align:start position:17.5% line:10% size:65%
and Code Orange R accents.
21:47.100 --> 21:51.766 align:start position:10% line:10% size:80%
Ford has kept capability intact,
as the 1,400 pound payload limit
21:51.900 --> 21:56.200 align:start position:17.5% line:10% size:65%
remains the same, but with
a tow rating of 8,700 pounds,
21:56.333 --> 21:59.200 align:start position:12.5% line:10% size:75%
the R can even pull 500 pounds
more,
21:59.333 --> 22:02.700 align:start position:25% line:10% size:50%
thanks to structural
enhancements to the frame.
22:02.833 --> 22:06.033 align:start position:22.5% line:10% size:57.5%
And it truly does haul,
as we found out
22:06.166 --> 22:08.533 align:start position:10% line:10% size:80%
at our Mason Dixon test track...
22:08.666 --> 22:13.433 align:start position:15% line:10% size:72.5%
Where the Raptor R ripped off
0-60s of just 3.7 seconds,
22:13.566 --> 22:16.566 align:start position:17.5% line:10% size:67.5%
a tenth quicker than we saw
in the TRX,
22:16.700 --> 22:20.533 align:start position:12.5% line:10% size:77.5%
and between the raucous exhaust
note and supercharger whine,
22:20.666 --> 22:23.733 align:start position:20% line:10% size:62.5%
boy does this thing sound
terrific.
22:23.866 --> 22:27.466 align:start position:20% line:10% size:62.5%
That, more than anything,
is indeed what the V6 Raptor
22:27.600 --> 22:29.133 align:start position:35% line:10% size:30%
was missing.
22:29.266 --> 22:32.733 align:start position:10% line:10% size:80%
All that rubber digging into the
pavement makes for an extremely
22:32.866 --> 22:35.666 align:start position:27.5% line:10% size:45%
aggressive launch,
with a big time squat
22:35.800 --> 22:38.866 align:start position:12.5% line:10% size:75%
of the rear before it explodes
off the line.
22:39.000 --> 22:42.200 align:start position:10% line:10% size:80%
It quickly levels off and starts
rapid fire shifting
22:42.333 --> 22:45.166 align:start position:17.5% line:10% size:65%
through gears as you glide
through the quarter-mile
22:45.300 --> 22:47.400 align:start position:25% line:10% size:52.5%
in just 12.1 seconds.
22:47.533 --> 22:50.533 align:start position:20% line:10% size:60%
But before we got there,
we were clearly bumping up
22:50.666 --> 22:54.000 align:start position:15% line:10% size:72.5%
against some type of limiter,
as power started falling
22:54.133 --> 22:58.633 align:start position:12.5% line:10% size:77.5%
just shy of tripping the lights
at an indicated 113 miles
22:58.766 --> 23:00.566 align:start position:40% line:10% size:22.5%
per hour.
23:00.700 --> 23:04.766 align:start position:17.5% line:10% size:67.5%
Whipping in and out of cone
courses is not this rig's forte,
23:04.900 --> 23:07.866 align:start position:12.5% line:10% size:75%
so most buyers will be willing
to accept the excessive
23:08.000 --> 23:12.333 align:start position:17.5% line:10% size:65%
body roll, heavy steering,
and appreciable understeer.
23:12.466 --> 23:15.833 align:start position:12.5% line:10% size:77.5%
Government Fuel Economy Ratings
are a very low 10-City,
23:15.966 --> 23:18.500 align:start position:15% line:10% size:70%
15-Highway, and 12-Combined.
23:18.633 --> 23:23.066 align:start position:17.5% line:10% size:67.5%
We averaged just 12.4 miles
per gallon of Regular.
23:23.200 --> 23:26.766 align:start position:15% line:10% size:72.5%
Now, don't get us wrong here,
we love all that power
23:26.900 --> 23:30.133 align:start position:17.5% line:10% size:65%
and the roaring chorus the
Raptor R makes,
23:30.266 --> 23:34.200 align:start position:15% line:10% size:70%
and upping off-road chops is
something we can all appreciate.
23:34.333 --> 23:37.766 align:start position:12.5% line:10% size:75%
But at the end of the day, one
must make a hard decision
23:37.900 --> 23:41.233 align:start position:15% line:10% size:72.5%
as to whether adding the R to
the Raptor is worth it
23:41.366 --> 23:44.066 align:start position:15% line:10% size:72.5%
for the way most of us drive.
23:44.200 --> 23:49.133 align:start position:12.5% line:10% size:75%
Standard Raptor pricing starts
at $78,670;
23:49.266 --> 23:51.433 align:start position:20% line:10% size:60%
already not a small sum.
23:51.566 --> 23:57.466 align:start position:12.5% line:10% size:77.5%
Then tack on another $30,575 to
get to the Raptor R's base
23:57.600 --> 24:01.333 align:start position:35% line:10% size:30%
of $109,245.
24:02.066 --> 24:05.066 align:start position:12.5% line:47.33% size:75%
Pickup trucks may have started
out as simple tools
24:05.200 --> 24:08.166 align:start position:30% line:10% size:42.5%
to get jobs done,
but they've become much more
24:08.300 --> 24:10.033 align:start position:20% line:10% size:62.5%
than that to many people.
24:10.166 --> 24:12.400 align:start position:15% line:10% size:70%
They are now status symbols.
24:12.533 --> 24:17.833 align:start position:15% line:10% size:70%
The 2023 Ford F-150 Raptor R
is indeed the closest thing
24:17.966 --> 24:21.133 align:start position:12.5% line:10% size:77.5%
you can get to owning an actual
Trophy Truck,
24:21.266 --> 24:24.766 align:start position:17.5% line:10% size:65%
ready to conquer both Baja
and Suburbia.
24:24.900 --> 24:28.466 align:start position:17.5% line:10% size:67.5%
And, the fact that it's now
singing in the key of V8,
24:28.600 --> 24:32.200 align:start position:17.5% line:10% size:65%
means all the world to the
F-Series faithful.
24:33.233 --> 24:35.200 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55%
Well, that's our show,
I hope you enjoyed it.

the new Honda Pilot TrailSport.
