MADE IN AMERICA.

John: WHILE TESLA SEEMS TO MAKE 
HEADLINES JUST ABOUT EVERY DAY,

38
00:01:55,834 --> 00:01:58,334
LET'S NOT FORGET 
THAT THE NISSAN LEAF

39
00:01:58,434 --> 00:02:01,067
WAS THE FIRST MASS-PRODUCED EV 
TO HIT THE STREETS

40
00:02:01,167 --> 00:02:02,467
HERE IN AMERICA.

41
00:02:02,567 --> 00:02:04,267
AND...TO THIS DAY, 
IS THE BEST-SELLING

42
00:02:04,367 --> 00:02:06,434
ELECTRIC VEHICLE IN THE WORLD.

43
00:02:06,534 --> 00:02:09,734
WELL...NOW, THERE'S A SECOND 
GENERATION LEAF ON THE ROAD,

44
00:02:09,834 --> 00:02:13,133
SO LET'S TURN IT OVER 
AND GO FOR A DRIVE.

45
00:02:14,133 --> 00:02:18,567
*

46
00:02:18,667 --> 00:02:21,667
THE SPROUTING OF NEW LEAVES, 
ALWAYS SIGNALS THE ARRIVAL

47
00:02:21,767 --> 00:02:24,634
OF SPRING, AND WITH IT, 
COMES WARMER WEATHER,

48
00:02:24,734 --> 00:02:28,267
AND OPTIMISM ON WHAT 
A NEW SEASON WILL BRING.

49
00:02:28,367 --> 00:02:30,634
WELL, WE CAN'T PROMISE 
WARM WEATHER YET,

50
00:02:30,734 --> 00:02:33,934
BUT SURELY, NISSAN IS HOPING 
THIS SECOND GENERATION

51
00:02:34,033 --> 00:02:37,801
NISSAN LEAF WILL BRING 
EV-DRIVING TO MORE PEOPLE,

52
00:02:37,901 --> 00:02:40,634
IN AN AMERICAN CAR MARKET 
THAT IS STILL SLOW

53
00:02:40,734 --> 00:02:43,667
TO BUY INTO THE EV-LIFESTYLE.

54
00:02:43,767 --> 00:02:46,634
RANGE CONTINUES TO BE THE NUMBER 
ONE ISSUE WHEN IT COMES TO

55
00:02:46,734 --> 00:02:49,968
COMMITMENT TO EVs, 
AND FOR THIS REDESIGNED LEAF,

56
00:02:50,067 --> 00:02:53,267
THAT NUMBER INCREASES TO 
151 MILES.

57
00:02:53,367 --> 00:02:56,033
MANY...INCLUDING US, 
WERE HOPING FOR MORE,

58
00:02:56,133 --> 00:02:58,934
BUT NISSAN CHOSE TO INSTEAD 
FOCUS ON IMPROVING

59
00:02:59,033 --> 00:03:02,167
THE LEAF'S PRACTICALITY, 
AND LOWERING ITS PRICE,

60
00:03:02,267 --> 00:03:05,701
IN ORDER TO MAKE IT A BETTER 
VEHICLE OPTION FOR MORE PEOPLE.

61
00:03:05,801 --> 00:03:07,934
MORE ON THAT LATER.

62
00:03:08,033 --> 00:03:11,801
BATTERY SIZE HAS GROWN FROM 
30 TO 40 KWH,

63
00:03:11,901 --> 00:03:14,701
SO CHARGE TIME FOR A COMPLETE 
FILL DOES INCREASE TO

64
00:03:14,801 --> 00:03:18,234
7.5 HOURS WITH 220, 
WITH THE LARGER

65
00:03:18,334 --> 00:03:22,834
6.6 KW ONBOARD CHARGER 
THAT WAS OPTIONAL BEFORE,

66
00:03:22,934 --> 00:03:24,734
IS NOW STANDARD.

67
00:03:24,834 --> 00:03:29,567
THE BATTERY'S JUICE IS USED BY 
A LARGER 110 KW ELECTRIC MOTOR.

68
00:03:29,667 --> 00:03:34,934
HORSEPOWER IS UP 40, TO 147, 
WHILE TORQUE GAINS 49 POUND-FEET

69
00:03:35,033 --> 00:03:38,133
TO A VERY RESPECTABLE 236.

70
00:03:38,801 --> 00:03:42,868
THE NEW LEAF SPORTS THE SAME 
BASIC 5-DOOR SHAPE AS BEFORE,

71
00:03:42,968 --> 00:03:47,000
BUT WITH MUCH SHARPER LINES 
TO DOWNPLAY THE OBVIOUS EV LOOK.

72
00:03:47,100 --> 00:03:49,901
LESS LIKE AN EGG, AND MORE LIKE 
A SPORTY HATCHBACK.

73
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,434
THOUGH, IT STILL LOOKS "TECHY," 
AND CURRENT NISSAN SIGNATURE

74
00:03:53,534 --> 00:03:56,801
ELEMENTS SUCH AS A FLOATING 
ROOF, V-MOTION GRILLE,

75
00:03:56,901 --> 00:03:59,934
AND BOOMERANG LIGHTS 
ARE HERE AS WELL.

76
00:04:00,100 --> 00:04:02,267
TECH UPGRADES ARE QUITE 
COMPREHENSIVE.

77
00:04:02,367 --> 00:04:05,300
IN ADDITION TO NISSAN'S 
PROPILOT ASSIST INTELLIGENT

78
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,033
DRIVING SYSTEM; 
THERE'S A NEW E-PEDAL,

79
00:04:08,133 --> 00:04:10,033
THAT DIALS UP 
THE REGEN BRAKING

80
00:04:10,133 --> 00:04:14,133
TO ALLOW FOR ONE-PEDAL DRIVING 
IN MOST SITUATIONS.

81
00:04:14,234 --> 00:04:16,467
GOING ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS, 
YOU INSTANTLY FEEL

82
00:04:16,567 --> 00:04:19,701
THE ADDITIONAL POWER; 
WE'RE NOT TALKING TESLA-LEVELS

83
00:04:19,801 --> 00:04:21,767
OF ACCELERATION OFF THE LINE 
HERE,

84
00:04:21,868 --> 00:04:25,234
BUT THE INCREASED TORQUE DOES 
WONDERS FOR HIGHWAY MERGING.

85
00:04:25,334 --> 00:04:28,434
NISSAN HAS ALSO ADDRESSED 
THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING,

86
00:04:28,534 --> 00:04:32,133
GIVING IT A MORE NATURAL FEEL; 
AS WELL AS SOFTENED UP

87
00:04:32,234 --> 00:04:36,033
THE SUSPENSION A BIT, 
TO PROVIDE A SMOOTHER RIDE.

88
00:04:36,133 --> 00:04:39,467
JUST AS ANY NEW TECH DEVICE 
SHOULD BE BUT OFTEN ISN'T,

89
00:04:39,567 --> 00:04:42,367
EVERYTHING ABOUT THE LEAF IS 
EASY TO OPERATE,

90
00:04:42,467 --> 00:04:45,701
AND IN MOST WAYS IT BEHAVES JUST 
LIKE ANY OTHER CAR.

91
00:04:45,801 --> 00:04:49,334
NO LEARNING CURVE TO EMBRACE 
THE EV-LIFESTYLE HERE,

92
00:04:49,434 --> 00:04:51,767
OTHER THAN THE BRAKE PEDAL FEEL, 
AND OF COURSE,

93
00:04:51,868 --> 00:04:54,167
REMEMBERING TO PLUG IT IN.

94
00:04:54,267 --> 00:04:55,901
LIKEWISE, 
THINGS AROUND THE CABIN,

95
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,167
ARE FAIRLY TRADITIONAL IN BOTH 
APPEARANCE AND OPERATION.

96
00:04:59,267 --> 00:05:02,834
THERE IS SOME BLUE TRIM GIVING 
OFF THAT EV VIBE,

97
00:05:02,934 --> 00:05:06,467
BUT ALL THE USUAL CONTROLS ARE 
IN ALL THE USUAL PLACES;

98
00:05:06,567 --> 00:05:10,634
INCLUDING MANY ON THE NEW 
FLAT-BOTTOM STEERING WHEEL.

99
00:05:10,734 --> 00:05:14,667
GAUGES GET AN UPGRADE, 
NOW A 7-INCH TFT-BASED DISPLAY

100
00:05:14,767 --> 00:05:17,501
THAT CAN BE CONFIGURED IN 
A MULTITUDE OF WAYS;

101
00:05:17,601 --> 00:05:21,300
THOUGH AN ANALOG SPEEDOMETER 
DOES REMAIN.

102
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,534
TO MAKE THINGS MORE PLEASANT 
FOR OCCUPANTS,

103
00:05:23,634 --> 00:05:26,367
CABIN NOISE IS REDUCED, 
AND MATERIAL QUALITY

104
00:05:26,467 --> 00:05:27,701
STEPPED UP A BIT.

105
00:05:27,801 --> 00:05:29,968
THEY COULD HAVE GONE FURTHER, 
ADDING ADDITIONAL

106
00:05:30,067 --> 00:05:34,033
SMALL ITEM STORAGE, 
BUT THERE'S ALWAYS NEXT TIME.

107
00:05:34,133 --> 00:05:37,367
AS FOR THE BIG STUFF IN BACK, 
CARGO SPACE ACTUALLY

108
00:05:37,467 --> 00:05:41,601
STAYS THE SAME 23.6 CUBIC-FEET, 
BUT THE SPACE HAS BEEN

109
00:05:41,701 --> 00:05:43,934
RE-WORKED FOR MORE UTILIZATION,

110
00:05:44,033 --> 00:05:46,834
SO IT DOES HANDLE BULKY ITEMS 
BETTER.

111
00:05:46,934 --> 00:05:51,467
MAX CAPACITY WITH REAR SEATBACKS 
FOLDED IS 30.0 CUBIC-FEET.

112
00:05:51,567 --> 00:05:56,300
THE NEW LEAF BOASTS GOVERNMENT 
MPGE RATINGS OF 125-CITY,

113
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,434
100-HIGHWAY, AND 112-COMBINED.

114
00:05:59,534 --> 00:06:02,133
FOR A NEAR PERFECT 
ENERGY IMPACT SCORE OF JUST

115
00:06:02,234 --> 00:06:07,901
0.2 BARRELS OF YEARLY OIL USE, 
WITH 0.0 CO2 EMISSIONS.

116
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,133
THE BIGGEST NEWS OF ALL, 
IS THAT IN ORDER TO

117
00:06:10,234 --> 00:06:12,934
BETTER COMPETE WITH THE 
CHEVROLET BOLT EV,

118
00:06:13,033 --> 00:06:16,801
AS WELL AS THE MULTITUDE OF NEW 
RIVALS JUST OVER THE HORIZON;

119
00:06:16,901 --> 00:06:19,000
THE LEAF NOW GETS A MUCH 
LOWER PRICE,

120
00:06:19,100 --> 00:06:22,100
STARTING AT $30,885.

121
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,801
THAT'S ABOUT 3-GRAND LESS THAN 
THE ORIGINAL,

122
00:06:24,901 --> 00:06:27,801
AND AS OF RIGHT NOW, 
GOVERNMENT REBATES OF AT LEAST

123
00:06:27,901 --> 00:06:31,734
$7,500 ARE STILL IN PLAY.

124
00:06:31,834 --> 00:06:33,968
SO WHILE, THE FULLY 
ELECTRIC VEHICLE'S FLOW

125
00:06:34,067 --> 00:06:37,701
INTO OUR AUTOMOTIVE LANDSCAPE 
HAS BEEN MORE OF A SLOW DRIZZLE

126
00:06:37,801 --> 00:06:40,968
THAN AN ALL-OUT DOWNPOUR; 
IT HAS BEEN STEADY ENOUGH

127
00:06:41,067 --> 00:06:44,634
TO ENABLE CARS LIKE THE 
NISSAN LEAF TO MAKE A SPLASH.

128
00:06:44,734 --> 00:06:47,934
UNLIKE THE ORIGINAL, IT DOESN'T 
BREAK MUCH NEW GROUND.

129
00:06:48,033 --> 00:06:50,000
BUT WITH A LOWER PRICE, 
LONGER RANGE,

130
00:06:50,100 --> 00:06:51,667
INCREASED PRACTICALITY,

131
00:06:51,767 --> 00:06:55,934
AND MORE MAINSTREAM STYLING; 
WE FEEL THE LEAF'S RIPPLE

132
00:06:56,033 --> 00:06:59,767
WILL CONTINUE TO EXPAND FURTHER 
AND FASTER.

133
00:07:02,067 --> 00:07:08,167
*

134
00:07:08,267 --> 00:07:11,300
WHEN BRIAN ROBINSON IS NOT 
SITTING AT HIS COMPUTER

135
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,033
RESEARCHING SOME 4-WHEELED 
VEHICLE OR ANOTHER;

136
00:07:14,133 --> 00:07:16,167
CHANCES ARE, 
HE'S OUT TWO WHEELIN'

137
00:07:16,267 --> 00:07:18,868
ON THE LATEST MOTORCYCLE 
TO COME HIS WAY.

138
00:07:18,968 --> 00:07:22,033
WELL, HE'S BEEN AWAY FROM HIS 
DESK FOR A FEW DAYS NOW,

139
00:07:22,133 --> 00:07:24,434
I WONDER WHAT HE'S UP TO?

140
00:07:25,601 --> 00:07:28,634
*

141
00:07:28,734 --> 00:07:31,167
Brian Robinson: WELL JOHN, 
I'M OFF TO STURGIS!

142
00:07:31,267 --> 00:07:34,400
MORE SPECIFICALLY, 
THE 2018 EDITION OF

143
00:07:34,501 --> 00:07:37,801
THE STURGIS MOTORCYCLE RALLY, 
WHICH TAKES PLACE IN

144
00:07:37,901 --> 00:07:40,567
AND AROUND THE TOWN OF STURGIS 
SOUTH DAKOTA,

145
00:07:40,667 --> 00:07:44,534
ABOARD THIS 2018 
INDIAN ROADMASTER.

146
00:07:44,634 --> 00:07:46,334
HAVING ENVISIONED TAKING 
THE LONG,

147
00:07:46,434 --> 00:07:48,834
HARD ROAD TO STURGIS FROM 
MARYLAND,

148
00:07:48,934 --> 00:07:52,267
AND BASKING IN ALL OF THE BIKER 
CRED I WOULD SURELY RECEIVE

149
00:07:52,367 --> 00:07:55,701
UPON DOING SO, 
AFTER THREE DAYS ON THE ROAD,

150
00:07:55,801 --> 00:07:58,467
I REALLY JUST FEEL LIKE, 
I CHEATED ON THE TEST.

151
00:07:58,567 --> 00:08:00,767
AS, I'VE DRIVEN PLENTY OF CARS 
THAT DON'T HAVE AS MUCH

152
00:08:00,868 --> 00:08:04,200
LONG DISTANCE COMFORT 
AS THIS ROADMASTER.

153
00:08:04,300 --> 00:08:07,767
OH WELL, MAYBE NEXT YEAR, 
I CAN FIND A RIGID-FRAME CHOPPER

154
00:08:07,868 --> 00:08:10,033
TO RIDE UP HERE.

155
00:08:10,133 --> 00:08:13,133
WELL, AFTER 2,000 MILES, 
ME AND THE INDIAN ROADMASTER

156
00:08:13,234 --> 00:08:16,667
HERE HAVE FINALLY MADE IT TO 
THE BACK HILLS OF SOUTH DAKOTA.

157
00:08:16,767 --> 00:08:19,033
SO, LET'S FIND OUT WHAT 
THE STURGIS MOTORCYCLE RALLY

158
00:08:19,133 --> 00:08:20,467
IS ALL ABOUT.

159
00:08:20,567 --> 00:08:22,300
AND WHO KNOWS, 
MAYBE WE'LL EVEN SEE

160
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,300
SOME WILD LIFE ALONG THE WAY.

161
00:08:25,968 --> 00:08:28,033
SO WHY EXACTLY, 
DO HALF A MILLION

162
00:08:28,133 --> 00:08:30,968
MOTORCYCLE ENTHUSIASTS GATHER 
IN THE BLACK HILLS OF

163
00:08:31,067 --> 00:08:33,634
SOUTH DAKOTA EVERY AUGUST?

164
00:08:33,734 --> 00:08:36,167
WELL, THE REASONS ARE AS VARIED 
AS THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE

165
00:08:36,267 --> 00:08:39,033
THE TRIP AND THE BIKES 
THEY BROUGHT WITH THEM.

166
00:08:39,133 --> 00:08:41,801
AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT, 
THERE ARE PLENTY OF THINGS TO DO

167
00:08:41,901 --> 00:08:45,467
IN AND AROUND THE TOWN OF 
STURGIS THAT DOESN'T INVOLVE

168
00:08:45,567 --> 00:08:49,701
BIKINI CONTESTS OR WRESTLING 
IN VARIOUS MEDIUMS.

169
00:08:49,801 --> 00:08:52,567
THERE ARE LITERALLY, 
HUNDREDS OF BANDS PLAYING,

170
00:08:52,667 --> 00:08:56,200
AND JUST ABOUT EVERY MOTORCYCLE 
MANUFACTURER IS ON HAND

171
00:08:56,300 --> 00:08:58,601
WITH DEMO RIDES OF THEIR LATEST 
MODELS.

172
00:08:58,701 --> 00:09:01,467
NOT TO MENTION, 
EVERY AFTERMARKET VENDOR

173
00:09:01,567 --> 00:09:03,367
YOU CAN THINK OF, AND YES,

174
00:09:03,467 --> 00:09:05,667
THEY DO HAVE THAT IN 
LEATHER.

175
00:09:05,767 --> 00:09:08,734
BUT REALLY, 
IT'S ALL ABOUT THE BIKES...

176
00:09:08,834 --> 00:09:11,901
*

177
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,467
...AND SOME ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIC 
ROADS TO RIDE THEM ON,

178
00:09:15,567 --> 00:09:18,267
THROUGH SOME OF THE MOST AMAZING 
SCENERY YOU'LL FIND,

179
00:09:18,367 --> 00:09:22,767
IN WHAT HAS UNFORTUNATELY 
BEEN DUBBED FLY-OVER COUNTRY.

180
00:09:22,868 --> 00:09:26,334
OF COURSE, THIS ALL STARTED 
BACK IN THE 1930s WITH

181
00:09:26,434 --> 00:09:29,367
A MOTORCYCLE RACE PUT ON BY 
A LOCAL INDIAN DEALER,

182
00:09:29,467 --> 00:09:31,601
WHO WANTED TO DRUM UP 
SOME PUBLICITY

183
00:09:31,701 --> 00:09:33,267
FOR HIS NEW DEALERSHIP.

184
00:09:33,367 --> 00:09:36,234
AND YES, THERE IS STILL 
PLENTY OF RACING GOING ON,

185
00:09:36,334 --> 00:09:39,901
INCLUDING AN AMERICAN FLAT TRACK 
TT RACE THAT TAKES PLACE

186
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,067
RIGHT ON THE GROUNDS 
OF THE RENOWNED

187
00:09:42,167 --> 00:09:44,267
"BUFFALO CHIP CAMPGROUND."

188
00:09:44,367 --> 00:09:48,801
FYI, THE CHIP IS WHERE YOU WANT 
TO BE TO SEE THE REAL WILDLIFE,

189
00:09:48,901 --> 00:09:51,133
BUT WE'LL SAVE THAT FOR 
ANOTHER TIME.

190
00:09:51,234 --> 00:09:53,701
LET'S JUST SAY, THE AMOUNT 
OF LITE BEERS CONSUMED HERE

191
00:09:53,801 --> 00:09:57,000
EVERY NIGHT WOULD PUT 
THE TALLADEGA INFIELD CROWD

192
00:09:57,100 --> 00:09:58,367
TO SHAME.

193
00:09:58,467 --> 00:10:01,567
AND THEN OF COURSE, THERE'S 
THE LEGENDARY STREET SCENE.

194
00:10:01,667 --> 00:10:04,868
THE TOWN OF STURGIS ITSELF, 
HAS LESS THAN 7,000

195
00:10:04,968 --> 00:10:08,234
FULL TIME RESIDENTS, YET, 
THEY ROLL OUT THE RED CARPET

196
00:10:08,334 --> 00:10:12,067
EVERY AUGUST FOR A FEW 
HUNDRED THOUSAND VISITORS.

197
00:10:12,167 --> 00:10:15,701
NEEDLESS TO SAY, IT'S A HAVEN 
FOR PEOPLE WATCHERS AS WELL,

198
00:10:15,801 --> 00:10:18,501
WHICH MIGHT EXPLAIN THE SEVERAL 
FAMILIES WE SAW WALKING

199
00:10:18,601 --> 00:10:21,667
AROUND TOWN LIKE THEY WERE 
ON SOME ANTHROPOLOGICAL

200
00:10:21,767 --> 00:10:23,467
LEARNING VACATION.

201
00:10:23,567 --> 00:10:26,200
ONE THING YOU WON'T SEE 
A WHOLE LOT OF, ARE HELMETS.

202
00:10:26,300 --> 00:10:28,534
APPARENTLY, IT'S HARD TO ROAM 
FREE IN A PACK,

203
00:10:28,634 --> 00:10:32,200
UNDER THE CONSTRAINTS OF SAFETY 
OR COMMON SENSE.

204
00:10:32,300 --> 00:10:36,067
BUT REALLY, THE RALLY IS MUCH 
BIGGER THAN STURGIS ITSELF;

205
00:10:36,167 --> 00:10:39,033
EVERYWHERE YOU GO WITHIN' 
A 50 MILE RADIUS OF TOWN

206
00:10:39,133 --> 00:10:41,000
IS PACKED WITH BIKES.

207
00:10:41,100 --> 00:10:44,968
NEARBY TOWNS DEADWOOD, CUSTER, 
HILL CITY, SPEARFISH,

208
00:10:45,067 --> 00:10:47,901
RAPID CITY, 
AND KEYSTONE AMONG OTHERS,

209
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,734
ARE JAMMED WITH BIKES AND HAVE 
THEIR OWN STREET SCENES

210
00:10:50,834 --> 00:10:53,334
THROUGHOUT THE TEN DAYS OF 
THE RALLY,

211
00:10:53,434 --> 00:10:56,734
NOT MENTION EVERY CAMPGROUND 
IN THE AREA.

212
00:10:56,834 --> 00:11:00,901
SO WHATEVER REASON YOU NEED, AND 
WHATEVER MOTORCYCLE YOU RIDE;

213
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,701
GET YOUR MOTOR RUNNING, 
AND HEAD OUT ON THE HIGHWAY

214
00:11:03,801 --> 00:11:07,501
NEXT AUGUST TO THE STURGIS 
MOTORCYCLE RALLY.

215
00:11:07,601 --> 00:11:09,467
YOU'LL NEVER FORGET IT!

216
00:11:10,934 --> 00:11:14,367
John: MOST OF US HOLD ONTO 
OUR CARS FOR A LONG TIME NOW.

217
00:11:14,467 --> 00:11:16,767
AND THAT REQUIRES A WHOLE 
DIFFERENT KIND OF CAR CARE.

218
00:11:16,868 --> 00:11:20,000
SO LET'S GET THE WHOLE STORY 
DOWN AT GOSS' GARAGE.

219
00:11:24,734 --> 00:11:27,167
Pat Goss: 
ALL CARS HAVE AN ENEMY.

220
00:11:27,267 --> 00:11:30,200
AND THAT ENEMY IS RUST.

221
00:11:30,300 --> 00:11:33,968
YES, I KNOW A LOT OF CARS ARE 
MADE OF ALUMINUM, AND PLASTICS,

222
00:11:34,067 --> 00:11:38,968
AND VARIOUS THINGS LIKE THAT 
BUT THEY STILL HAVE STEEL PARTS.

223
00:11:39,067 --> 00:11:44,100
NOW, A LOT OF CARS USE STEEL 
LINES OR STEEL TUBING FOR BRAKES

224
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,434
AND FUEL LINES, 
AND STEERING, AND SO ON.

225
00:11:47,534 --> 00:11:51,701
NOW, IF THOSE LINES AREN'T 
COATED, THEY RUST.

226
00:11:51,801 --> 00:11:55,767
WE SEE A LOT OF VEHICLES WITH 
BAD BRAKE LINES FOR INSTANCE.

227
00:11:55,868 --> 00:11:58,634
AND IT CAN BE A MAJOR JOB 
TO REPLACE THEM.

228
00:11:58,734 --> 00:12:04,701
NOW, VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS ARE 
CURRENTLY COATING BRAKE LINES

229
00:12:04,801 --> 00:12:08,300
AND VARIOUS OTHER STEEL 
COMPONENTS UNDER THE VEHICLE

230
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,200
WITH SOMETHING THAT LOOKS LIKE 
THIS GREEN COLOR HERE,

231
00:12:11,300 --> 00:12:13,634
OR SOMETIMES IT'S BLACK.

232
00:12:13,734 --> 00:12:16,701
THAT IS AN ANTI-RUST COATING.

233
00:12:16,801 --> 00:12:19,467
NOW, 
IF YOUR CAR DOESN'T HAVE THAT,

234
00:12:19,567 --> 00:12:23,100
IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO BUY 
ONE OF THE COMMERCIAL COATINGS.

235
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,701
THERE'S ALL SORTS OF DIFFERENT 
ONES ON THE MARKET.

236
00:12:26,801 --> 00:12:30,701
MARINE ANTI-CORROSION CHEMICALS 
ARE GOOD.

237
00:12:30,801 --> 00:12:34,367
SOME TYPES OF RUST PROOFING 
AND UNDERCOATING.

238
00:12:34,467 --> 00:12:38,334
SPRAY THESE LINES, 
AND ANY MILD STEEL PARTS

239
00:12:38,434 --> 00:12:41,567
AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR, 
AND THAT'LL HELP KEEP THEM

240
00:12:41,667 --> 00:12:45,534
WORKING PROPERLY, AND IT'LL 
PREVENT A BIG REPAIR BILL.

241
00:12:45,634 --> 00:12:47,601
NONE OF THIS STUFF IS CHEAP.

242
00:12:47,701 --> 00:12:51,067
ALRIGHT, ANOTHER THING THAT 
WE SEE ON A LOT OF CARS IS

243
00:12:51,167 --> 00:12:54,601
WHERE THE BOTTOMS OF THE DOORS 
RUST OUT.

244
00:12:54,701 --> 00:12:57,868
WELL, THAT'S TYPICALLY BECAUSE 
THERE'RE TWO PIECES OF METAL

245
00:12:57,968 --> 00:13:01,934
DOWN THERE THAT ARE BONDED 
TOGETHER AND THEY'RE VERY,

246
00:13:02,033 --> 00:13:04,067
VERY CLOSE TOGETHER.

247
00:13:04,167 --> 00:13:08,267
THAT SPACE IN THERE COLLECTS 
DIRT.

248
00:13:08,367 --> 00:13:12,667
YOU MAY THINK THE DOOR IS SEALED 
BUT THE DOOR ISN'T SEALED.

249
00:13:12,767 --> 00:13:16,033
DIRT, WATER, AND EVERYTHING 
GO DOWN THROUGH THE DOOR

250
00:13:16,133 --> 00:13:19,267
AND WHEN THIS BUILDS UP 
IN THE BOTTOM,

251
00:13:19,367 --> 00:13:23,434
THE DIRT HOLDS MOISTURE 
AND IT EATS THE METAL

252
00:13:23,534 --> 00:13:25,200
FROM THE INSIDE OUT.

253
00:13:25,300 --> 00:13:27,167
SO, 
WHEN YOU'RE WASHING YOUR CAR,

254
00:13:27,267 --> 00:13:30,067
MAKE SURE THAT YOU RUN THE HOSE 
ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE

255
00:13:30,167 --> 00:13:33,434
OF THE WINDOW, 
SO THAT YOU GET SOME WATER FLOW

256
00:13:33,534 --> 00:13:37,167
THROUGH THE DOOR TO RINSE AS 
MUCH OF THAT MUD OUT OF THERE

257
00:13:37,267 --> 00:13:39,801
AS IS POSSIBLE.

258
00:13:39,901 --> 00:13:42,200
ALRIGHT NOW, ANOTHER THING.

259
00:13:42,300 --> 00:13:44,634
HERE, 
WE HAVE A PARKING BRAKE CABLE.

260
00:13:44,734 --> 00:13:47,534
YES, SOME OF YOU WILL CALL IT 
AN "EMERGENCY BRAKE,"

261
00:13:47,634 --> 00:13:50,667
AND SOME OF YOU MIGHT BE 
QUALIFIED TO USE IT

262
00:13:50,767 --> 00:13:54,634
IN AN EMERGENCY BUT REALLY 
IT IS FOR PARKING.

263
00:13:54,734 --> 00:13:56,834
AND THAT MEANS, 
YOU SHOULD BE USING IT

264
00:13:56,934 --> 00:13:59,601
EVERY TIME YOU PARK THE CAR.

265
00:13:59,701 --> 00:14:04,467
YOU SEE, THIS INNER CABLE MOVES 
THROUGH A HOUSING AND EVERY TIME

266
00:14:04,567 --> 00:14:08,033
YOU PULL UP ON THE LEVER 
OR PUSH THE PEDAL DOWN,

267
00:14:08,133 --> 00:14:11,801
THIS CABLE MOVES IN THE HOUSING, 
HELPS KEEP IT CLEAN,

268
00:14:11,901 --> 00:14:15,567
HELPS PREVENT RUST, 
AND HELPS PREVENT SOMETIMES,

269
00:14:15,667 --> 00:14:17,467
PRETTY MAJOR REPAIR BILLS.

270
00:14:17,567 --> 00:14:20,434
SO, GET IN THE HABIT OF 
USING THE PARKING BRAKE

271
00:14:20,534 --> 00:14:22,300
ON A REGULAR BASIS.

272
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,467
THESE ARE THINGS THAT 
CAN SAVE YOU A LOT OF MONEY

273
00:14:25,567 --> 00:14:27,067
OVER THE LIFE OF THE CAR.

274
00:14:27,167 --> 00:14:30,934
AND IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION 
OR A COMMENT, DROP ME A LINE,

275
00:14:31,033 --> 00:14:32,868
RIGHT HERE AT MOTORWEEK .

276
00:14:33,934 --> 00:14:36,367
*

277
00:14:36,467 --> 00:14:38,467
Greg Carloss: A NEW YEAR, 
BRINGS A NEW LONG-TERM MODEL

278
00:14:38,567 --> 00:14:42,801
INTO OUR FLEET, 
THIS 2019 RAM 1500.

279
00:14:42,901 --> 00:14:46,901
UP UNTIL RECENTLY, 
RIDE AND HANDLING WAS PROBABLY

280
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,167
PRETTY LOW ON THE LIST OF 
CONCERNS FOR A TRUCK BUYER.

281
00:14:50,267 --> 00:14:54,267
NOW, WE'RE IN THE AGE OF LUXURY 
TRUCKS AND THAT'S ALL CHANGED.

282
00:14:54,367 --> 00:14:58,367
THE RAM 1500 STILL OFFERS 
THE BEST BIG PICKUP RIDE

283
00:14:58,467 --> 00:15:00,834
IN THE FULL-SIZE HALF-TON 
SEGMENT.

284
00:15:00,934 --> 00:15:03,033
AND BACK TO THE WHOLE LUXURY 
THING,

285
00:15:03,133 --> 00:15:07,701
THIS HUGE TABLET-STYLE SCREEN 
LOOKS A BIT OUT OF PLACE,

286
00:15:07,801 --> 00:15:10,100
BUT IT'S ALSO PRETTY COOL."

287
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,968
OUR LONG TERM RAM 1500 IS 
A CREW CAB 4X4,

288
00:15:14,067 --> 00:15:18,234
SPORTING A PATRIOT BLUE PAINT 
JOB, IN LIMITED TRIM.

289
00:15:18,334 --> 00:15:21,467
LEVEL 1 EQUIPMENT GROUP 
ADDS 19 SPEAKER'S WORTH

290
00:15:21,567 --> 00:15:24,734
OF HARMON KARDON PREMIUM AUDIO, 
SURROUND VIEW CAMERA,

291
00:15:24,834 --> 00:15:27,734
AND A HOST OF ADVANCED 
SAFETY FEATURES.

292
00:15:27,834 --> 00:15:30,300
OFF-ROAD GROUP ADDS 
A LOCKING REAR AXLE,

293
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:34,000
A BUNCH OF SKID PLATES, 
AND OF COURSE, DECALS.

294
00:15:34,100 --> 00:15:37,000
WE'LL GET TO KNOW THIS 
RAM 1500 EVEN BETTER

295
00:15:37,100 --> 00:15:39,200
OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS.

296
00:15:40,767 --> 00:15:45,067
OUR YEAR IS ALMOST UP WITH THIS 
2018 HONDA ODYSSEY MINIVAN,

297
00:15:45,167 --> 00:15:48,200
THE MOST USEFUL VEHICLE 
TYPE OF ALL TIMES.

298
00:15:48,300 --> 00:15:51,467
WITH A FEW SMALL EXCEPTIONS, 
THE ODYSSEY'S STAY WITH US

299
00:15:51,567 --> 00:15:53,267
HAS BEEN EXCEPTIONAL!

300
00:15:53,367 --> 00:15:55,734
JUST LIKE WE ARE USED 
TO FROM HONDA.

301
00:15:55,834 --> 00:15:59,067
IT CERTAINLY "RAN LIKE A DEER" 
OVER THESE LAST 26,000 MILES OF

302
00:15:59,167 --> 00:16:01,367
VERY HARD USE.

303
00:16:01,467 --> 00:16:04,434
THROUGH ALL THE ROAD TRIPS 
BOTH LONG AND SHORT,

304
00:16:04,534 --> 00:16:07,000
SEAT COMFORT REMAINS 
A TRUE HIGH POINT,

305
00:16:07,100 --> 00:16:08,901
AND NOT JUST FOR THE DRIVER.

306
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,334
SECOND ROW SEATS ARE EQUALLY 
COMFORTABLE,

307
00:16:11,434 --> 00:16:14,968
AND THAT MEANS LESS COMPLAINING 
FROM THE BROOD IN BACK.

308
00:16:15,067 --> 00:16:18,767
THERE WERE A FEW NITS TO PICK 
WHEN THE ODYSSEY FIRST ARRIVED,

309
00:16:18,868 --> 00:16:21,601
AND WE RECENTLY HAD A LOOSE 
FUEL FILLER ASSEMBLY REPLACED

310
00:16:21,701 --> 00:16:24,067
UNDER WARRANTY.

311
00:16:24,167 --> 00:16:26,334
BUT, IT'S BEEN NOTHING, 
BUT PRAISE OVER

312
00:16:26,434 --> 00:16:28,534
THE LAST FEW MONTHS, 
AND AVERAGE FUEL ECONOMY

313
00:16:28,634 --> 00:16:32,000
HAS REMAINED STEADY AT 
25.8 MILES PER GALLON

314
00:16:32,100 --> 00:16:35,968
OF REGULAR, WITH OVER 30 
DURING HIGHWAY CRUISING.

315
00:16:36,067 --> 00:16:40,267
WE'LL CHECK IN ON OUR MAZDA6 
AND KIA NIRO PHEV

316
00:16:40,367 --> 00:16:43,734
ON OUR NEXT MOTORWEEK 
LONG-TERM ROAD TEST UPDATE!

317
00:16:46,701 --> 00:16:49,234
John: AS MUCH AS WE LOVE 
TESTING CARS,

318
00:16:49,334 --> 00:16:52,033
THERE'S ALSO A LOT GOING ON 
BEHIND THE SCENES.

319
00:16:52,133 --> 00:16:55,634
YOLANDA VAZQUEZ HAS THE LATEST 
IN THIS WEEK'S MOTORNEWS.

Yolanda Vazquez: SELF-DRIVING 
CARS WITH LITTLE

321
00:17:00,634 --> 00:17:04,434
OR NO HUMAN INPUT ARE MOVING 
CLOSER TO REALITY...

322
00:17:04,534 --> 00:17:08,000
AND THEY'RE BEING DEVELOPED 
IN A VARIETY OF WAYS.

323
00:17:08,100 --> 00:17:10,501
WAYMO'S PILOT PROGRAM IN 
THE PHOENIX AREA,

324
00:17:10,601 --> 00:17:13,334
HAS BEEN TESTING THE TECHNOLOGY 
DURING DAILY COMMUTES

325
00:17:13,434 --> 00:17:15,400
WITH ORDINARY PEOPLE.

326
00:17:15,501 --> 00:17:17,734
NOW, THEY'VE LAUNCHED A RIDE 
HAILING SERVICE CALLED

327
00:17:17,834 --> 00:17:19,067
"WAYMO ONE."

328
00:17:19,167 --> 00:17:22,067
IT'S AVAILABLE TO THE PHOENIX 
PUBLIC AT LARGE.

329
00:17:22,167 --> 00:17:25,467
RIDERS USE AN APP TO REQUEST 
A RIDE.

330
00:17:25,567 --> 00:17:28,534
WHILE, THEY CALL IT A COMMERCIAL 
"SELF-DRIVING" SERVICE...

331
00:17:28,634 --> 00:17:32,100
TRAINED DRIVERS WILL BE IN 
THE VEHICLES FOR THE TIME BEING.

332
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,734
BUT, THE GOAL IS TO HAVE 
FULLY AUTONOMOUS TAXIS.

333
00:17:35,834 --> 00:17:40,000
WAYMO'S FLEET INCLUDES 
CHRYSLER PACIFICA MINIVANS.

334
00:17:40,100 --> 00:17:42,868
THEY'RE ALSO WORKING WITH JAGUAR 
TO OFFER PREMIUM RIDES

335
00:17:42,968 --> 00:17:44,567
WITHOUT A DRIVER.

336
00:17:44,667 --> 00:17:48,367
THE DEAL INVOLVES ADDING 
THE ALL-NEW ELECTRIC I-PACE SUV

337
00:17:48,467 --> 00:17:51,634
TO THE SELF-DRIVING FLEET 
NEXT YEAR.

338
00:17:51,734 --> 00:17:55,534
BUT, SELF-DRIVING IS NOT JUST 
FOR "DELIVERING" PASSENGERS.

339
00:17:55,634 --> 00:17:58,701
WHAT ABOUT MAKING SHOPPING 
MORE CONVENIENT?

340
00:17:58,801 --> 00:18:02,801
FORD, WALMART, AND POSTMATES ARE 
WORKING ON BRINGING SELF-DRIVING

341
00:18:02,901 --> 00:18:05,267
DELIVERIES TO YOUR DOOR.

342
00:18:05,367 --> 00:18:08,567
WALMART FILLS THE ORDER, 
FORD PROVIDES THE VEHICLES,

343
00:18:08,667 --> 00:18:12,000
AND POSTMATES HANDLES 
THE DELIVERY LOGISTICS.

344
00:18:12,100 --> 00:18:14,033
THEY'VE STARTED TESTING IN 
MIAMI, FLORIDA,

345
00:18:14,133 --> 00:18:17,100
BUT EXPANSION IS EXPECTED.

346
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,167
NOW, BACK TO THE CURRENT WAY OF 
DOING THINGS---IN THE YOU KNOW,

347
00:18:20,267 --> 00:18:21,734
"DRIVE IT YOURSELF WORLD..."

348
00:18:21,834 --> 00:18:24,901
WELL, ASTON MARTIN IS JOINING 
THE RANKS OF LUXURY CAR MAKERS

349
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,434
BY ADDING AN SUV.

350
00:18:27,534 --> 00:18:31,167
THEY'RE CURRENTLY TESTING 
A PROTOTYPE ASTON MARTIN DBX

351
00:18:31,267 --> 00:18:34,100
IN REAL WORLD SITUATIONS, 
RANGING FROM

352
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:38,467
FRIGID ARCTIC TEMPERATURES 
TO SCORCHING JUNGLE HEAT.

353
00:18:38,567 --> 00:18:42,000
THEIR SPORTS CAR LINEAGE MEANS 
THE SUVs TESTING WILL INCLUDE

354
00:18:42,100 --> 00:18:45,734
GERMANY'S DEMANDING 
NY�RBURGRING RACING CIRCUIT.

355
00:18:45,834 --> 00:18:47,767
WE'VE BEEN WATCHING 
THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS

356
00:18:47,868 --> 00:18:51,334
WELL-BRED UTE EVER SINCE 
THE CONCEPT APPEARED IN GENEVA

357
00:18:51,434 --> 00:18:53,400
A FEW YEARS AGO.

358
00:18:53,501 --> 00:18:55,400
WE EXPECT THE ASTON MARTIN DBX

359
00:18:55,501 --> 00:18:58,801
TO GO ON SALE BY THE END OF 
2019.

360
00:18:58,901 --> 00:19:00,701
AND THAT'S THE LATEST 
AUTOMOTIVE UPDATE

361
00:19:00,801 --> 00:19:02,968
FOR THIS WEEK'S MOTORNEWS.

362
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,767
John: WE WERE SKEPTICAL WHEN 
WE HEARD THAT BMW'S

363
00:19:06,868 --> 00:19:10,234
SMALLEST UTILITY YET, THE X1, 
WOULD BE BASED ON

364
00:19:10,334 --> 00:19:12,667
MINI'S FRONT-WHEEL DRIVE 
CHASSIS.

365
00:19:12,767 --> 00:19:15,767
BUT, NOT ONLY WERE WE PLEASANTLY 
SURPRISED BY THE RESULTS,

366
00:19:15,868 --> 00:19:19,267
IT QUICKLY BECOME ONE OF OUR 
FAVORITE SMALL UTILITIES.

367
00:19:19,367 --> 00:19:22,767
WELL, AS YOU MIGHT EXPECT, 
BMW COULDN'T STOP THERE,

368
00:19:22,868 --> 00:19:27,000
AND THEY'VE NOW ADDED A MORE 
STYLISH ALTERNATIVE, THE X2.

369
00:19:28,234 --> 00:19:31,133
*

370
00:19:31,234 --> 00:19:34,801
BMW HAS AN ESTABLISHED PATTERN 
OF INTRODUCING COUPE-LIKE

371
00:19:34,901 --> 00:19:38,601
VARIANTS TO MANY OF THEIR 
POPULAR SEDANS AND UTILITIES.

372
00:19:38,701 --> 00:19:43,501
SO, THIS 2018 BMW X2, 
A MORE DYNAMIC-LOOKING VERSION

373
00:19:43,601 --> 00:19:47,400
OF THE X1, WAS NOT REALLY 
A SURPRISE TO ANYONE.

374
00:19:47,501 --> 00:19:49,901
AND IT'S ACTUALLY, 
A WELCOMED ADDITION,

375
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,100
AS WE'RE NOT BREAKING ANY NEWS 
BY SAYING,

376
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:56,300
THE X1 IS NOT EXACTLY 
A STELLAR STYLING EFFORT.

377
00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:00,000
X2 WHEELBASE IS UNCHANGED, 
YET, OVERALL IT IS MORE THAN

378
00:20:00,100 --> 00:20:05,033
3.0 INCHES SHORTER THAN THE X1, 
AND ALSO SITS 2.8 INCHES LOWER;

379
00:20:05,133 --> 00:20:08,300
GIVING IT A MUCH BRAWNIER, 
YET, SPORTIER LOOK.

380
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,434
BMW HAS ALSO PLAYED WITH 
TRADITION A BIT,

381
00:20:11,534 --> 00:20:14,000
BY SQUASHING THE TWIN KIDNEY 
GRILLE,

382
00:20:14,100 --> 00:20:17,067
AND ADDING A ROUNDEL TO 
THE C-PILLAR.

383
00:20:17,167 --> 00:20:19,968
[ENGINE STARTS UP]

384
00:20:20,067 --> 00:20:21,901
NO CHANGES UNDER THE HOOD 
THOUGH,

385
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,868
AS POWER IS THE SAME 2.0 LITER 
I4 TURBO,

386
00:20:24,968 --> 00:20:29,367
RATING 228 HORSEPOWER 
AND 258 POUND-FEET OF TORQUE,

387
00:20:29,467 --> 00:20:32,300
WITH AN 8-SPEED AUTOMATIC 
SENDING IT TO THE FRONT WHEELS,

388
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:36,234
OR TO ALL FOUR WITH 
AVAILABLE XDRIVE.

389
00:20:36,334 --> 00:20:38,834
WITH XDRIVE, GOVERNMENT 
FUEL ECONOMY RATINGS ARE

390
00:20:38,934 --> 00:20:42,567
21-CITY, 31-HIGHWAY, 
AND 25-COMBINED,

391
00:20:42,667 --> 00:20:46,267
AND OUR AVERAGE WAS A GOOD ONE 
AT 26.9 MILES PER GALLON

392
00:20:46,367 --> 00:20:48,400
OF PREMIUM.

393
00:20:48,501 --> 00:20:50,868
WELL, DESPITE THE SLIGHTLY 
SMALLER SIZE,

394
00:20:50,968 --> 00:20:53,667
WEIGHT REMAINS ABOUT THE SAME AS 
THE X1.

395
00:20:53,767 --> 00:20:57,234
SO AS EXPECTED, 
OUR 0-60 TIME WAS IDENTICAL,

396
00:20:57,334 --> 00:21:00,601
AT A QUITE RESPECTABLE 
6.3 SECONDS.

397
00:21:00,701 --> 00:21:03,434
DESPITE SPINNING UP A GOOD 
AMOUNT OF TORQUE AT LAUNCH,

398
00:21:03,534 --> 00:21:06,267
ANY THRILL FACTOR IS MUTED BY 
THE SMOOTHNESS OF

399
00:21:06,367 --> 00:21:10,567
THE POWER DELIVERY THAT IS WELL 
ABOVE AVERAGE FOR ITS CLASS.

400
00:21:10,667 --> 00:21:14,067
SHIFTS ARE FAIRLY AGGRESSIVE, 
AS THE X2 LURCHES FORWARD

401
00:21:14,167 --> 00:21:15,734
WITH EACH SNAPPY SHIFT.

402
00:21:15,834 --> 00:21:17,567
AND THERE'S A GOOD SENSE 
OF POWER THROUGHOUT

403
00:21:17,667 --> 00:21:21,200
THE 14.8 SECONDS THAT IT TAKES 
TO COMPLETE THE QUARTER MILE

404
00:21:21,300 --> 00:21:24,634
AT 94 MILES PER HOUR.

405
00:21:24,734 --> 00:21:28,400
WE HAD HIGH EXPECTATIONS BEFORE 
TACKLING OUR CONE COURSE,

406
00:21:28,501 --> 00:21:30,200
AND WERE NOT DISAPPOINTED.

407
00:21:30,300 --> 00:21:33,200
THE X2 FEELS LIGHT ON ITS 
19-INCH FEET,

408
00:21:33,300 --> 00:21:37,267
AND WELL-COMPOSED, 
WITH JUST A HINT OF UNDERSTEER.

409
00:21:37,367 --> 00:21:41,033
NO MAJOR CHANGES TO THE HARDWARE 
THAT UNDERPINS THE X2,

410
00:21:41,133 --> 00:21:43,100
BUT THERE IS UNIQUE TUNING 
OF COURSE,

411
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,634
AND IF YOU OPT FOR THE M SPORT 
SUSPENSION,

412
00:21:45,734 --> 00:21:47,968
YOU'LL GET A HALF INCH LOWER 
RIDE HEIGHT,

413
00:21:48,067 --> 00:21:52,167
STIFFER ANTI-ROLL BAR BEARINGS, 
AND DYNAMIC DAMPER CONTROL.

414
00:21:52,267 --> 00:21:55,501
SO, RIDE QUALITY CERTAINLY FALLS 
ON THE SPORTIER SIDE

415
00:21:55,601 --> 00:22:00,200
OF THE LUXURY-UTE SPECTRUM, EVEN 
WHEN ROLLING IN COMFORT MODE.

416
00:22:00,300 --> 00:22:03,334
PRACTICALITY DOES TAKE A HIT, 
BUT NOT NEARLY AS BAD

417
00:22:03,434 --> 00:22:06,400
AS YOU'D THINK; 
THERE'S STILL 21.6 CUBIC-FEET

418
00:22:06,501 --> 00:22:08,234
OF CARGO SPACE IN THE BACK.

419
00:22:08,334 --> 00:22:12,467
MAX CAPACITY, WITH THE 40/20/40 
SPLIT SEATBACKS FOLDED

420
00:22:12,567 --> 00:22:16,300
IS A BIT LESS HOWEVER, 
AT 50.1 CUBIC-FEET.

421
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,801
AS FOR THE PASSENGER SPACE, 
WELL UP FRONT

422
00:22:18,901 --> 00:22:21,467
THERE'S THE TYPICAL SPORTY 
BMW FEEL,

423
00:22:21,567 --> 00:22:23,634
AS WELL AS FIRM, 
YET, COMFORTABLE SEATS,

424
00:22:23,734 --> 00:22:26,801
WITH GOOD BOLSTERING 
AND SEAT-BOTTOM EXTENSIONS.

425
00:22:26,901 --> 00:22:29,834
REAR SEAT PASSENGERS 
DON'T FARE QUITE AS WELL

426
00:22:29,934 --> 00:22:33,467
AS THE X2 COMES UP SHORT, 
WITH NOT QUITE ADEQUATE ENOUGH

427
00:22:33,567 --> 00:22:37,334
FOR ADULT SPACE, 
BOTH UP TOP AND FOR THE LEGS.

428
00:22:37,434 --> 00:22:39,434
ALSO PRESENT, 
ARE THE PREDICTABLE

429
00:22:39,534 --> 00:22:41,968

BRINGING US TO GENTLE 
AND GRADUAL COMPLETE STOPS

447
00:23:38,367 --> 00:23:42,767
NOBODY GETS MORE USE OUT OF 
THEIR CHASSIS DESIGNS THAN BMW.

448
00:23:42,868 --> 00:23:46,267
AND WHILE THE CURRENT X1, 
BMW'S FIRST FRONT-WHEEL DRIVE

449
00:23:46,367 --> 00:23:50,534
BASED SPORTS ACTIVITY VEHICLE, 
WAS A DARING LEAP FOR THE BRAND;

450
00:23:50,634 --> 00:23:54,033
IT'S ALSO ONE THEY SEEM TO HAVE 
LANDED JUST RIGHT.

451
00:23:54,133 --> 00:23:58,234
JUST CONSIDER THIS 2018 X2, 
A MUCH MORE STYLISH

452
00:23:58,334 --> 00:24:01,767
AND ENTERTAINING ALTERNATIVE, 
THAT WILL MORE THAN LIKELY

453
00:24:01,868 --> 00:24:05,601
BRING A FEW NEW CONVERTS 
INTO THE BMW FAMILY.

454
00:24:08,734 --> 00:24:10,968
