SINCE THE AUDI TT DEBUTED,

01:59.501 --> 02:03.133 position:10% line:50% size:80%
INDEED, AUDI HAS PUT A LOT OF
EFFORT INTO MAKING THE TT

02:03.234 --> 02:07.868 position:10% line:50% size:80%
A LEGITIMATE SPORTS CAR, ADDING

IT WAS UNDENIABLY MORE FUN THAN
EVER, YET STILL MORE OF A

EXTERIOR RS ADD-ONS ARE
RELATIVELY MINOR,

02:58.567 --> 03:02.133 position:10% line:50% size:80%
BUT VERY NOTICEABLE; INCLUDING
OVAL EXHAUST OUTLETS,

03:02.234 --> 03:05.167 position:10% line:50% size:80%
A BIG FIXED REAR WING,
RED BRAKE CALIPERS,

THUS, THE 5-CYLINDER WEIGHS LESS

03:25.067 --> 03:27.601 position:10% line:50% size:80%

WE'LL STOP SHORT OF SAYING IT
SOUNDS AWESOME, BUT WITH THE

03:33.567 --> 03:37.067 position:10% line:50% size:80%
AVAILABLE SPORT EXHAUST SYSTEM,
IT TRULY HAS A UNIQUE ROAR

03:37.167 --> 03:39.567 position:10% line:50% size:80%

SHIFTERS ON THE WHEEL,

03:50.834 --> 03:53.834 position:10% line:50% size:80%

FROM COMPLAINING ABOUT THAT

03:53.934 --> 03:55.434 position:10% line:50% size:80%
TOO MUCH.

03:55.534 --> 03:58.801 position:10% line:50% size:80%
THE TT RS' HALDEX
ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE SYSTEM IS

03:58.901 --> 04:01.934 position:10% line:50% size:80%
SIMILAR TO THE ONE FOUND IN
VOLKSWAGEN'S GOLF R,

04:02.033 --> 04:06.534 position:10% line:50% size:80%
WHICH MEANS LESS FRONT BIAS
AND LESS TENDENCY TO UNDERSTEER.

08:08.367 --> 08:12.834 position:10% line:50% size:80%
K 1600 GT SPORT-TOURER AND
SPRINKLED SOME "CRUISER DUST"

08:12.934 --> 08:16.734 position:10% line:50% size:80%
ON IT, TO MAKE IT MORE APPEALING
TO AMERICAN RIDERS.

08:16.834 --> 08:21.234 position:10% line:50% size:80%
NOW BEFORE YOU R1200C FANS THAT
ARE OUT THERE GET ALL EXCITED,

08:21.334 --> 08:25.300 position:10% line:50% size:80%
THIS IS NOT A CRUISER CLONE;
HERE, BMW IS MORE LOOKING TO

08:25.400 --> 08:29.200 position:10% line:50% size:80%
CAPITALIZE ON THE CURRENT
CUSTOM BAGGER TREND.

08:29.300 --> 08:34.234 position:10% line:50% size:80%
BASICALLY, BMW HAS GRAFTED A NEW
BACK END ONTO THE K 1600

08:34.334 --> 08:37.167 position:10% line:50% size:80%
THAT NOT ONLY LOOKS A LOT MORE
STYLISH,

08:37.267 --> 08:41.267 position:10% line:50% size:80%
BUT BRINGS THE REAR SEAT AND
PASSENGER SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER;

08:41.367 --> 08:43.234 position:10% line:50% size:80%
MORE LIKE A TRADITIONAL CRUISER.

08:43.334 --> 08:46.367 position:10% line:50% size:80%
EXHAUST PIPES ARE REROUTED,
STAYING LOW TO THE GROUND;

08:46.467 --> 08:49.901 position:10% line:50% size:80%
AND EXPELLING EXHAUST THROUGH
A PAIR OF HUGE MUFFLERS.

08:50.000 --> 08:52.901 position:10% line:50% size:80%
UP FRONT, THE ADJUSTABLE
WINDSCREEN IS ALSO LOWER

08:53.000 --> 08:55.200 position:10% line:50% size:80%
AND THERE'S A
TRADITIONAL-APPEARING,

08:55.300 --> 08:57.734 position:10% line:50% size:80%
THOUGH FAR FROM NORMAL
TUBULAR HANDLEBAR.

08:59.133 --> 09:02.901 position:10% line:50% size:80%
THE 1649CC INLINE-6
IS BEYOND SMOOTH,

09:03.000 --> 09:07.200 position:10% line:50% size:80%
MAKING 160-HORSEPOWER
AND 129 POUND-FEET OF TORQUE,

09:07.300 --> 09:10.167 position:10% line:50% size:80%
AS IS THE REST OF THE BIKE
WRAPPED AROUND IT.

09:10.267 --> 09:14.267 position:10% line:50% size:80%
YET IT'S ALSO FAST AND SOLID
FEELING; ALL LEADING UP TO A

09:14.367 --> 09:18.400 position:10% line:50% size:80%
RIDING EXPERIENCE THAT'S MORE
SPORT-TOURER THAN CRUISER.

09:18.501 --> 09:21.534 position:10% line:50% size:80%
CRACKING OPEN THIS 6-PACK
CAN INDEED BE EXHILARATING.

09:22.934 --> 09:25.968 position:10% line:50% size:80%
MOST THINGS WILL BE FAMILIAR
IF YOU'VE SPENT ANY TIME

09:26.067 --> 09:30.033 position:10% line:50% size:80%
ON ONE OF BMW'S OTHER K BIKES;
INCLUDING THE GENERALLY

09:30.133 --> 09:32.567 position:10% line:50% size:80%
INTUITIVE MULTI-CONTROLLER ON
THE LEFT HANDGRIP

09:32.667 --> 09:35.434 position:10% line:50% size:80%
THAT CONTROLS A MULTITUDE OF
FUNCTIONS INCLUDING

09:35.534 --> 09:37.968 position:10% line:50% size:80%
RIDING MODES,
ADJUSTABLE SUSPENSION,

09:38.067 --> 09:41.334 position:10% line:50% size:80%
HEATED GRIPS AND SEAT,
AS WELL AS ALL OF THE USUAL

09:41.434 --> 09:43.000 position:10% line:50% size:80%
TRIP METER DISPLAYS.

09:43.100 --> 09:46.601 position:10% line:50% size:80%
WITH BMW'S OPTIONAL KEYLESS
RIDE, NO NEED TO TAKE THE KEY

09:46.701 --> 09:49.067 position:10% line:50% size:80%
OUT OF YOUR POCKET,
JUST HIT THE IGNITION BUTTON,

09:49.167 --> 09:52.267 position:10% line:50% size:80%
THUMB THE STARTER;
AND YOU'RE GOOD TO GO.

09:52.367 --> 09:56.567 position:10% line:50% size:80%
SIDE-OPENING SADDLEBAGS ARE
LONGER AND LOWER THAN THE GT'S,

09:56.667 --> 10:00.367 position:10% line:50% size:80%
YET HOLD A DECENT 37-LITERS
WORTH OF GEAR EACH.

10:00.467 --> 10:03.334 position:10% line:50% size:80%
BIG GRAB HANDLES INBOARD,
MAKE STRAPPING ON A DUFFEL

10:03.434 --> 10:04.934 position:10% line:50% size:80%
A SIMPLE AFFAIR.

10:05.033 --> 10:08.400 position:10% line:50% size:80%
7.0-GALLONS IN THE TANK, EASILY
GIVES YOU MORE THAN 250 MILES

10:08.501 --> 10:11.434 position:10% line:50% size:80%
OF RIDE TIME BEFORE A REFUEL,
AND THE SEAT IS JUST

10:11.534 --> 10:14.834 position:10% line:50% size:80%
COMFORTABLE ENOUGH TO MAKE AN
EASY CHORE OF IT.

10:14.934 --> 10:18.701 position:10% line:50% size:80%
THE ONLY TIME YOU REALLY FEEL
ITS 740 POUNDS OF WEIGHT

10:18.801 --> 10:22.133 position:10% line:50% size:80%
IS IN REALLY SLOW MANEUVERS;
OTHERWISE AT SPEED,

10:22.234 --> 10:28.000 position:10% line:50% size:80%
THE K1600 B TENDS TO SHED WEIGHT
AS QUICKLY AS IT EATS UP MILES.

10:28.100 --> 10:30.567 position:10% line:50% size:80%
IF YOU DO FIND THE WEIGHT TOO
MUCH TO DEAL WITH,

10:30.667 --> 10:34.133 position:10% line:50% size:80%
THE GTL'S REVERSE ASSISTANT
IS AVAILABLE.

10:34.234 --> 10:37.767 position:10% line:50% size:80%
MID-MOUNTED PEGS ARE STANDARD
FOR A RELAXED RIDING POSITION,

10:37.868 --> 10:41.000 position:10% line:50% size:80%
WITH THE LEFT-SIDE SHIFTER
WORKING THE 6-SPEED GEARBOX

10:41.100 --> 10:42.334 position:10% line:50% size:80%
SEAMLESSLY.

10:42.434 --> 10:45.000 position:10% line:50% size:80%
FRONT MOUNTED FLOORBOARDS ARE AN
OPTION IF YOU LIKE TO STRETCH

10:45.100 --> 10:48.367 position:10% line:50% size:80%
YOUR LEGS WHILE
STILL IN THE SADDLE.

10:48.467 --> 10:50.868 position:10% line:50% size:80%
PRICING STARTS RIGHT AT
20-GRAND, AND YOU CAN GET

10:50.968 --> 10:55.667 position:10% line:50% size:80%
CLOSER TO 25 WITH AVAILABLE
PREMIUM AND TOURING PACKAGES.

10:55.767 --> 11:02.601 position:10% line:50% size:80%
AS FOR WHO THE 2018 BMW K 1600 B
IS MOST LIKELY TO APPEAL TO;

11:02.701 --> 11:06.968 position:10% line:50% size:80%
WELL UNLIKE THE R1200C, IT'S NOT
REALLY MEANT TO WIN OVER

11:07.067 --> 11:08.934 position:10% line:50% size:80%
THE V-TWIN CROWD.

11:09.033 --> 11:11.734 position:10% line:50% size:80%
MORE REALISTICALLY,
IT GIVES SPORT TOURING RIDERS

11:11.834 --> 11:16.000 position:10% line:50% size:80%
AND PARTICULARLY BMW BUYERS
A HIGHLY STYLISH OPTION

11:16.100 --> 11:19.033 position:10% line:50% size:80%
TO SATISFY THEIR WANDERLUST
TOURING NEEDS.

11:21.601 --> 11:23.567 position:10% line:50% size:80%
John: IF YOU HAVE AN OLDER CAR
AND YOU WANT TO MAKE IT

11:23.667 --> 11:26.868 position:10% line:50% size:80%
MORE UP TO DATE, WE HAVE JUST
THE PERSON TO TALK TO.

11:26.968 --> 11:27.834 position:10% line:50% size:80%
PAT GOSS.

11:27.934 --> 11:30.033 position:10% line:50% size:80%
AND, HE SAYS THERE'S
A LOT TO CONSIDER.

11:34.834 --> 11:37.567 position:10% line:50% size:80%
Pat Goss: FOR DECADES,
HEADLIGHTS ON CARS AND TRUCKS

11:37.667 --> 11:41.033 position:10% line:50% size:80%
HAVE BEEN LIKE THESE:
INCANDESCENT LIGHTS.

11:41.133 --> 11:44.801 position:10% line:50% size:80%
WELL AS TIME HAS GONE ON, THEY
HAVE MOVED FROM INCANDESCENT

11:44.901 --> 11:50.667 position:10% line:50% size:80%
TO H.I.D. AND NOW WE'RE SEEING
MOST CARS WITH L.E.D.S.

11:50.767 --> 11:52.834 position:10% line:50% size:80%
ALRIGHT NOW, WHAT IS
THE DIFFERENCE HERE?

11:52.934 --> 11:56.634 position:10% line:50% size:80%
WELL THE DIFFERENCE PRIMARILY IS
GOING TO BE THAT THE COLOR

11:56.734 --> 11:59.834 position:10% line:50% size:80%
OF THESE NEW LIGHTS IS BRIGHTER
AND THE DURABILITY

11:59.934 --> 12:01.133 position:10% line:50% size:80%
MAY BE BETTER.

12:01.234 --> 12:05.367 position:10% line:50% size:80%
BUT ONE OF THE THINGS YOU HAVE
TO KEEP IN MIND IS THAT

12:05.467 --> 12:08.567 position:10% line:50% size:80%
WELL YOU CAN MAKE CONVERSIONS
TO THESE THINGS.

12:08.667 --> 12:12.334 position:10% line:50% size:80%
LIKE HERE WE HAVE
AN H.I.D. CONVERSION.

12:12.434 --> 12:16.133 position:10% line:50% size:80%
TAKE THIS COVER OFF OF HERE
AND WE CAN SEE THAT WE HAVE

12:16.234 --> 12:18.334 position:10% line:50% size:80%
H.I.D. BULBS IN THERE.

12:18.434 --> 12:21.767 position:10% line:50% size:80%
IT COMES WITH THE VARIOUS UH,
TRANSFORMERS

12:21.868 --> 12:24.934 position:10% line:50% size:80%
AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT,
BUT YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE

12:25.033 --> 12:27.501 position:10% line:50% size:80%
IF YOU ARE GONNA DO
ONE OF THESE CONVERSIONS,

12:27.601 --> 12:31.901 position:10% line:50% size:80%
THAT YOU GET QUALITY PARTS,
BECAUSE SOME OF THESE PARTS

12:32.000 --> 12:35.901 position:10% line:50% size:80%
ARE EXPENSIVE IF THEY ARE
GOING TO LAST AND BE RELIABLE.

12:36.000 --> 12:41.133 position:10% line:50% size:80%
OVER HERE WE HAVE AN L.E.D.
CONVERSION AND WE LOOK IN THE

12:41.234 --> 12:44.133 position:10% line:50% size:80%
BOTTOM OF THIS ONE AND BELIEVE
IT OR NOT, WE HAVE A TEENY

12:44.234 --> 12:48.033 position:10% line:50% size:80%
LITTLE FAN IN THERE THAT
KEEPS THE BULB COOL.

12:48.133 --> 12:51.667 position:10% line:50% size:80%
SO SOME OF 'EM WILL HAVE
HEAT SINKS, SOME WILL HAVE FANS

12:51.767 --> 12:52.934 position:10% line:50% size:80%
AND SO ON.

12:53.033 --> 12:56.501 position:10% line:50% size:80%
YOU HAVE TO RESEARCH THESE
THINGS, MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE

12:56.601 --> 13:00.801 position:10% line:50% size:80%
THE PROPER COOLING AND THAT THEY
HAVE THE PROPER ATTACHMENTS

13:00.901 --> 13:02.100 position:10% line:50% size:80%
FOR YOUR CAR.

13:02.200 --> 13:05.534 position:10% line:50% size:80%
ALRIGHT NOW, HERE IS THE RUB
WITH ALL OF THIS,

13:05.634 --> 13:09.801 position:10% line:50% size:80%
YOU SEE CHANGING TO ONE OF THESE
SYSTEMS, WELL IT MAY MAKE

13:09.901 --> 13:14.868 position:10% line:50% size:80%
THE LIGHT WHITER OR MORE BLUE,
BUT IT MAY NOT GIVE YOU

13:14.968 --> 13:18.801 position:10% line:50% size:80%
MORE LIGHT ON THE ROAD,
BECAUSE THAT IS CONTROLLED

13:18.901 --> 13:20.701 position:10% line:50% size:80%
BY A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT
FACTORS.

13:20.801 --> 13:25.868 position:10% line:50% size:80%
NUMBER ONE IS THE DESIGN OF THE
REFLECTOR, WHICH MATCHES THE WAY

13:25.968 --> 13:28.267 position:10% line:50% size:80%
THE LIGHT COMES OUT OF THE BULB.

13:28.367 --> 13:31.167 position:10% line:50% size:80%
THE OTHER THING IS, ESPECIALLY
IF YOU HAVE A PICKUP TRUCK

13:31.267 --> 13:35.434 position:10% line:50% size:80%
OR AN SUV OR SOMETHING THAT SITS
TALLER, IN ORDER TO KEEP

13:35.534 --> 13:39.667 position:10% line:50% size:80%
THE LIGHT FROM BLINDING ONCOMING
PASSENGERS, THEY'RE DESIGNED

13:39.767 --> 13:43.200 position:10% line:50% size:80%
SO THAT THEY'RE TILTED DOWN
A LITTLE BIT AND THAT MEANS

13:43.300 --> 13:46.100 position:10% line:50% size:80%
THE LIGHT DOESN'T GO OUT AS FAR.

13:46.200 --> 13:49.434 position:10% line:50% size:80%
SO JUST CHANGING THE BULBS,
YOU'RE STILL GONNA HAVE THE SAME

13:49.534 --> 13:52.901 position:10% line:50% size:80%
ADJUSTMENT,
THE SAME CHARACTERISTICS,

13:53.000 --> 13:57.567 position:10% line:50% size:80%
YOU'RE JUST GOING TO HAVE A MORE
WHITISH OR BLUISH COLORED LIGHT.

13:57.667 --> 14:01.567 position:10% line:50% size:80%
SO DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE YOU
SPEND MONEY ON AN UPGRADE KIT

14:01.667 --> 14:05.033 position:10% line:50% size:80%
BECAUSE YOU MAY NOT BE HAPPY
WITH THE RESULTS.

14:05.133 --> 14:08.434 position:10% line:50% size:80%
AND IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION
OR COMMENT, DROP ME A LINE

14:08.534 --> 14:10.934 position:10% line:50% size:80%
RIGHT HERE AT MOTORWEEK .

14:13.667 --> 14:16.667 position:10% line:50% size:80%
*

14:16.767 --> 14:18.734 position:10% line:50% size:80%
John: YET ANOTHER LONG-TERM
IS MAKING ITS FINAL

14:18.834 --> 14:20.567 position:10% line:50% size:80%
TREK DOWN OUR DRIVEWAY.

14:20.667 --> 14:24.267 position:10% line:50% size:80%
THIS TIME IT'S OUR BMW X1, AND
WE'LL MISS THIS ENTRY-LEVEL

14:24.367 --> 14:26.767 position:10% line:50% size:80%
SPORTS ACTIVITY VEHICLE A LOT.

14:26.868 --> 14:31.601 position:10% line:50% size:80%
FINAL TALLIES ARE
25,179 MILES OVER 12 MONTHS,

14:31.701 --> 14:34.734 position:10% line:50% size:80%
AVERAGING 28.8 MILES-PER-GALLON,
WELL OVER

14:34.834 --> 14:37.834 position:10% line:50% size:80%
THE GOVERNMENT'S
COMBINED RATING OF 25.

14:37.934 --> 14:40.934 position:10% line:50% size:80%
THAT'S PERHAPS MOST SURPRISING
AS WE WEREN'T ESPECIALLY

14:41.033 --> 14:45.734 position:10% line:50% size:80%
GENTLE WITH IT, MOSTLY DRIVING
IT THE WAY BMW INTENDED.

14:45.834 --> 14:48.133 position:10% line:50% size:80%
IT'S NOT THE BEST LOOKING
UTILITY OUT THERE,

14:48.234 --> 14:51.100 position:10% line:50% size:80%
AND THE INTERIOR IS CERTAINLY
MORE BASIC THAN LUXURY;

14:51.200 --> 14:54.601 position:10% line:50% size:80%
BUT WHEN IT COMES TO DRIVING,
FEW CROSSOVERS CAN HANG

14:54.701 --> 14:56.534 position:10% line:50% size:80%
WITH THE X1.

14:56.634 --> 14:59.567 position:10% line:50% size:80%
WE HAD NO MECHANICAL FAULTS,
AND NO TRIPS TO THE DEALER

14:59.667 --> 15:02.033 position:10% line:50% size:80%
THAT WEREN'T SCHEDULED
MAINTENANCE RELATED;

15:02.133 --> 15:06.567 position:10% line:50% size:80%
MAKING OUR TIME WITH THE X1
AS STRESS FREE AS IT WAS FUN.

15:06.667 --> 15:10.801 position:10% line:50% size:80%
WE'RE SAD TO SEE OUR X1 GO, BUT
AS PROMISED A FEW WEEKS AGO,

15:10.901 --> 15:14.067 position:10% line:50% size:80%
OUR NEW SUBARU CROSSTREK
HAS JUST ARRIVED;

15:14.167 --> 15:17.467 position:10% line:50% size:80%
WE'LL FIND OUT OVER THE NEXT
YEAR IF WE LOVE IT AS MUCH AS

15:17.567 --> 15:19.400 position:10% line:50% size:80%
THE ORIGINAL.

15:19.501 --> 15:22.167 position:10% line:50% size:80%
BUT BEFORE THAT, IT'S A LOOK
AT THE VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE

15:22.267 --> 15:25.033 position:10% line:50% size:80%
CONVERTIBLE ON OUR NEXT
MOTORWEEK LONG-TERM ROAD TEST

15:25.133 --> 15:26.100 position:10% line:50% size:80%
UPDATE!

15:27.300 --> 15:29.334 position:10% line:50% size:80%
John: THERE'S NOT TOO MUCH
BETTER THAN A NEW CAR,

15:29.434 --> 15:31.167 position:10% line:50% size:80%
AND A WIDE OPEN ROAD.

15:31.267 --> 15:34.100 position:10% line:50% size:80%
AND WE'VE GOT BOTH FOR
THIS WEEK'S QUICK SPIN.

15:40.534 --> 15:44.767 position:10% line:50% size:80%
THE ALL-NEW 2019 VOLKSWAGEN
JETTA MARKS A BIG STEP FORWARD

15:44.868 --> 15:47.133 position:10% line:50% size:80%
FOR ONE OF VW'S BEST SELLERS.

15:47.234 --> 15:51.434 position:10% line:50% size:80%
17.5 MILLION HAVE BEEN
SOLD WORLDWIDE SINCE 1979.

15:53.133 --> 15:57.133 position:10% line:50% size:80%
THE 7TH GEN JETTA GOES EVEN
FURTHER TO SHAKE OFF THE BOXY

15:57.234 --> 15:59.601 position:10% line:50% size:80%
"GOLF WITH A TRUNK" REPUTATION.

15:59.701 --> 16:02.601 position:10% line:50% size:80%
THE MODULAR YET STIFFER
MQB ARCHITECTURE

16:02.701 --> 16:04.534 position:10% line:50% size:80%
GETS A LOT OF THE CREDIT.

16:04.634 --> 16:08.100 position:10% line:50% size:80%
THE JETTA IS LONGER, WIDER AND
TALLER, ALLOWING DESIGNERS

16:08.200 --> 16:10.868 position:10% line:50% size:80%
TO CREATE A SLEEK COUPISH
PROFILE.

16:10.968 --> 16:13.601 position:10% line:50% size:80%
THE FRONT FASCIA,
WHILE CLEARLY VW,

16:13.701 --> 16:16.000 position:10% line:50% size:80%
REFLECTS FUTURE
ASPIRATIONS AS WELL.

16:16.100 --> 16:18.100 position:10% line:50% size:80%
ENGINEERS ADDED MORE GEARS,

16:18.200 --> 16:20.901 position:10% line:50% size:80%
ONE MORE MAKES FOR A
STANDARD 6-SPEED MANUAL.

16:21.000 --> 16:23.834 position:10% line:50% size:80%
TWO MORE FOR THE 8-SPEED
AUTOMATIC, THAT HANDLES ITS

16:23.934 --> 16:26.334 position:10% line:50% size:80%
DUTIES WITH EASE AND SEEMS
WELL MATCHED

16:26.434 --> 16:29.601 position:10% line:50% size:80%
WITH THE 1.4-LITER TURBOCHARGED
IN-LINE FOUR

16:29.701 --> 16:32.701 position:10% line:50% size:80%
PRODUCING 147-HORSEPOWER.

16:32.801 --> 16:36.000 position:10% line:50% size:80%
THE LOW END TORQUE IS VERY
PLEASING AS WE PUSHED THE PEDAL

16:36.100 --> 16:39.434 position:10% line:50% size:80%
HARD DURING OUR DRIVE
IN NORTH CAROLINA.

16:39.534 --> 16:42.234 position:10% line:50% size:80%
INSIDE IS JETTA'S BIGGEST
DEPARTURE FROM THE PAST.

16:42.334 --> 16:45.868 position:10% line:50% size:80%
FAR LESS CONSERVATIVE AND FAR
MORE DRIVER CENTRIC WITH THE

16:45.968 --> 16:49.434 position:10% line:50% size:80%
CENTER CONSOLE BIASED TOWARDS
THE ONE BEHIND THE WHEEL.

16:49.534 --> 16:52.734 position:10% line:50% size:80%
YET FOR ALL THESE UPGRADES,
A TORSION BEAM RETURNS

16:52.834 --> 16:56.667 position:10% line:50% size:80%
TO THE REAR, WITH COIL SPRINGS
AND TELESCOPIC DAMPERS.

16:56.767 --> 17:00.601 position:10% line:50% size:80%
WE'VE SEEN THAT BEFORE AND ON
ANY OTHER CAR BUT A VW

17:00.701 --> 17:03.200 position:10% line:50% size:80%
IT WOULD BE A TURNOFF.

17:03.300 --> 17:06.801 position:10% line:50% size:80%
THE CHALLENGE FOR VW IS CREATING
A JETTA COMFORTABLE ENOUGH

17:06.901 --> 17:07.968 position:10% line:50% size:80%
FOR AMERICANS...

17:08.067 --> 17:11.434 position:10% line:50% size:80%
WITHOUT LEAVING THE EUROPEAN
DRIVING DYNAMICS BEHIND.

17:11.534 --> 17:15.033 position:10% line:50% size:80%
OUR FIRST IMPRESSION IS
THEY'VE DONE JUST THAT.

17:15.133 --> 17:18.767 position:10% line:50% size:80%
THE 2019 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA GOES
ON SALE THIS SPRING

17:18.868 --> 17:21.200 position:10% line:50% size:80%
STARTING UNDER $19,000.

17:23.167 --> 17:27.133 position:10% line:50% size:80%
THE REDESIGNED
2019 TOYOTA AVALON IS STILL AN

17:27.234 --> 17:30.667 position:10% line:50% size:80%
"ATTAINABLE PREMIUM" SEDAN,
BUT AT A LOFTIER LEVEL

17:30.767 --> 17:33.501 position:10% line:50% size:80%
AS CORPORATE COUSIN
LEXUS MOVES UP MARKET.

17:33.601 --> 17:36.934 position:10% line:50% size:80%
NOW IN ITS 5TH GENERATION,
TOYOTA'S FLAGSHIP ONCE AGAIN

17:37.033 --> 17:40.267 position:10% line:50% size:80%
SHARES ITS CHASSIS WITH THE
CAMRY, ONLY NOW IT'S TOYOTA'S

17:40.367 --> 17:42.434 position:10% line:50% size:80%
NEW GLOBAL ARCHITECTURE.

17:42.534 --> 17:45.467 position:10% line:50% size:80%
THAT ADAPTABLE UNDERPINNING
ALLOWS FOR A LONGER,

17:45.567 --> 17:48.000 position:10% line:50% size:80%
WIDER YET LOWER AVALON.

17:48.100 --> 17:52.601 position:10% line:50% size:80%
MORE POWER IS SERVED UP BY A
210-HORSEPOWER 3.5-LITER V6,

17:52.701 --> 17:55.334 position:10% line:50% size:80%
OR 215 HORSEPOWER HYBRID.

17:55.434 --> 17:59.334 position:10% line:50% size:80%
THE TRANSITION FROM THE ELECTRIC
MOTOR TO THE 2.5-LITER I4

17:59.434 --> 18:01.467 position:10% line:50% size:80%
IS APPARENT, BUT NOT ABRUPT.

18:01.567 --> 18:04.567 position:10% line:50% size:80%
STILL THE V6 DELIVERS
SMOOTHER POWER.

18:04.667 --> 18:06.667 position:10% line:50% size:80%
THE HYBRID WORKS WITH A CVT,

18:06.767 --> 18:09.767 position:10% line:50% size:80%
A NEW 8-SPEED AUTOMATIC
SEAMLESSLY SENDS THE RUSH

18:09.868 --> 18:12.234 position:10% line:50% size:80%
FROM THE V6 TO THE FRONT WHEELS.

18:12.334 --> 18:14.067 position:10% line:50% size:80%
Garick Zikan: NO MATTER WHICH
AVALON YOU DRIVE YOU GET A

18:14.167 --> 18:17.167 position:10% line:50% size:80%
CHOICE OF DRIVE MODES: ECO,
NORMAL, AND SPORT

18:17.267 --> 18:18.367 position:10% line:50% size:80%
EVEN IN THE HYBRID.

18:18.467 --> 18:21.634 position:10% line:50% size:80%
THIS TOURING WE'RE NOW DRIVING
BRINGS SPORT+ AND CUSTOM

18:21.734 --> 18:23.000 position:10% line:50% size:80%
TO THE MIX.

18:23.100 --> 18:25.501 position:10% line:50% size:80%
GOING FROM NORMAL TO SPORT AND
SPORT PLUS THERE'S A NOTICEABLE

18:25.601 --> 18:28.434 position:10% line:50% size:80%
DIFFERENCE IN THE THROTTLE
RESPONSE AND THE SHIFTS.

18:28.534 --> 18:31.100 position:10% line:50% size:80%
THE ADAPTIVE VARIABLE SUSPENSION
THAT'S NOW STANDARD

18:31.200 --> 18:33.400 position:10% line:50% size:80%
ON THIS TOURING AVALON
FOR THE FIRST TIME

18:33.501 --> 18:36.434 position:10% line:50% size:80%
ALSO BECOMES MORE DYNAMIC
BUT THIS IS STILL

18:36.534 --> 18:38.834 position:10% line:50% size:80%
A VERY COMFORTABLE RIDE.

18:38.934 --> 18:41.167 position:10% line:50% size:80%
John: A NEW MULTI-LINK
REAR SUSPENSION ADDS TO THE

18:41.267 --> 18:42.567 position:10% line:50% size:80%
PREMIUM RIDE TOO.

18:42.667 --> 18:46.567 position:10% line:50% size:80%
INSIDE THE QUIET CABIN,
TECH NOW INCLUDES APPLE CARPLAY,

18:46.667 --> 18:50.701 position:10% line:50% size:80%
AND TOYOTA REMOTE CONNECT WITH
SMARTWATCH AND AMAZON ALEXA

18:50.801 --> 18:52.367 position:10% line:50% size:80%
CONNECTIVITY.

18:52.467 --> 18:56.801 position:10% line:50% size:80%
SO THE 2019 TOYOTA AVALON STILL
DELIVERS BIG-SEDAN COMFORT,

18:56.901 --> 19:00.133 position:10% line:50% size:80%
BUT NOW WITH A LEXUS LOOK
AND EVEN MORE AMENITIES.

19:00.234 --> 19:03.334 position:10% line:50% size:80%
ARRIVING AT DEALERS IN MAY
THE PRICE STARTS AT JUST OVER

19:03.434 --> 19:05.667 position:10% line:50% size:80%
$35,000.

19:05.767 --> 19:08.033 position:10% line:50% size:80%
AND WE'LL HAVE MORE
QUICK SPINS SOON.

19:10.067 --> 19:12.267 position:10% line:50% size:80%
John: WE ALL KNOW
THE LEXUS LS STORY.

19:12.367 --> 19:15.033 position:10% line:50% size:80%
NOT ONLY DID IT KICK OFF
TOYOTA'S NEW LUXURY BRAND

19:15.133 --> 19:16.267 position:10% line:50% size:80%
FOR 1990.

19:16.367 --> 19:19.734 position:10% line:50% size:80%
BUT IT USHERED IN AN ENTIRE
NEW SEGMENT OF PRESTIGIOUS

19:19.834 --> 19:21.501 position:10% line:50% size:80%
ASIAN-BUILT SEDANS.

19:21.601 --> 19:24.934 position:10% line:50% size:80%
WELL NOW A 5TH GENERATION LS
ARRIVES TO TEMPT US

19:25.033 --> 19:27.734 position:10% line:50% size:80%
WITH EVEN MORE LUXURY AND
TECHNOLOGY.

19:27.834 --> 19:31.200 position:10% line:50% size:80%
MORE THAN WE'VE EVER SEEN BEFORE
FROM A JAPANESE FLAGSHIP.

19:31.300 --> 19:34.267 position:10% line:50% size:80%
LOOKS LIKE WE'RE IN
FOR A REAL TREAT!

19:35.400 --> 19:43.400 position:10% line:50% size:80%
*

19:43.501 --> 19:45.667 position:10% line:50% size:80%
John: WHILE FOR THE MOST PART,
LEXUS HAS BEEN ON A

19:45.767 --> 19:48.934 position:10% line:50% size:80%
FULL COURT PRESS TO CHANGE THEIR
STAID AND SOFT IMAGE

19:49.033 --> 19:51.534 position:10% line:50% size:80%
OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS;
WHEN IT COMES TO THE

19:51.634 --> 19:56.534 position:10% line:50% size:80%
2018 LS 500 SEDAN, THE MISSION
IS A DIFFERENT ONE,

19:56.634 --> 19:59.501 position:10% line:50% size:80%
CONVINCING PEOPLE TO BUY THE
ALL-NEW 5TH GENERATION

19:59.601 --> 20:03.767 position:10% line:50% size:80%
OF THEIR LUXURY FLAGSHIP SEDAN
INSTEAD OF THE HIGH-ZOOT SUV

20:03.868 --> 20:06.968 position:10% line:50% size:80%
THEY LIKELY CAME LOOKING FOR
AT THE DEALERSHIP.

20:07.067 --> 20:09.734 position:10% line:50% size:80%
ONE THING THE LS CLEARLY HAS
GOING FOR IT;

20:09.834 --> 20:13.267 position:10% line:50% size:80%
IT REMAINS QUITE PLEASANT TO
DRIVE, EVEN WITH THE IMPROVED

20:13.367 --> 20:16.367 position:10% line:50% size:80%
DYNAMICS THAT COME FROM NOW
RIDING ON A STRETCHED VERSION

20:16.467 --> 20:18.601 position:10% line:50% size:80%
OF THE LC COUPE'S PLATFORM.

20:18.701 --> 20:22.701 position:10% line:50% size:80%
BUT AS IN MOST THINGS LEXUS,
IT'S MOSTLY DUE TO ALL OF THE

20:22.801 --> 20:26.067 position:10% line:50% size:80%
ELECTRONIC AIDS THAT ARE
IN PLAY, MANY OF WHICH ARE

20:26.167 --> 20:30.367 position:10% line:50% size:80%
INTEGRATED INTO THE VDIM, OR
VEHICLE DYNAMICS INTEGRATED

20:30.467 --> 20:31.801 position:10% line:50% size:80%
MANAGEMENT.

20:31.901 --> 20:34.968 position:10% line:50% size:80%
IT'S STILL A HEAVY BEAST,
ABOUT 5,000 POUNDS

20:35.067 --> 20:38.300 position:10% line:50% size:80%
DEPENDING ON FITMENT, BUT THE
UPDATED ADAPTIVE VARIABLE

20:38.400 --> 20:42.133 position:10% line:50% size:80%
SUSPENSION HELPS TO CONTROL
THE TRANSFER OF IT.

20:42.234 --> 20:44.567 position:10% line:50% size:80%
CRUISING DOWN THE HIGHWAY,
YOU'LL FIND EVERYTHING

20:44.667 --> 20:48.834 position:10% line:50% size:80%
YOU EXPECT IN A LEXUS AND MORE,
MEANING NEAR-TOTAL ISOLATION

20:48.934 --> 20:53.200 position:10% line:50% size:80%
FROM THE OUTSIDE WORLD
AND OODLES OF LUXURY.

20:53.300 --> 20:56.200 position:10% line:50% size:80%
[ENGINE STARTS]

20:56.300 --> 21:01.167 position:10% line:50% size:80%
MOST NOTABLY, THIS LS TRADES
IN ITS V8 FOR A TWIN-TURBO V6.

21:01.267 --> 21:05.501 position:10% line:50% size:80%
BUT NOT TO WORRY, THE 3.4-LITER
DELIVERS MORE POWER THAN THE V8,

21:05.601 --> 21:08.100 position:10% line:50% size:80%
AND FEELS MUCH BETTER WHEN
DELIVERING IT;

21:08.200 --> 21:09.167 position:10% line:50% size:80%
AND THE MAJORITY OF THE

21:09.267 --> 21:10.734 position:10% line:50% size:80%
LS OWNERS WILL NEVER

21:10.834 --> 21:12.033 position:10% line:50% size:80%
LIFT THE HOOD ANYWAY

21:12.133 --> 21:13.501 position:10% line:50% size:80%
TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

21:13.601 --> 21:15.701 position:10% line:50% size:80%
HORSEPOWER IS NOW 416;

21:15.801 --> 21:18.934 position:10% line:50% size:80%
TORQUE AT 442 POUND-FEET.

21:19.033 --> 21:22.501 position:10% line:50% size:80%
IT RUNS THROUGH A 10-SPEED
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FOR BOTH

21:22.601 --> 21:26.300 position:10% line:50% size:80%
REAR AND ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE, AND WE
FOUND ITS OPERATION VERY QUICK

21:26.400 --> 21:28.601 position:10% line:50% size:80%
FOR A LUXURY RIDE.

21:28.701 --> 21:31.467 position:10% line:50% size:80%
AND SPEAKING OF QUICK,
THE AVAILABLE F-SPORT PACKAGE

21:31.567 --> 21:34.267 position:10% line:50% size:80%
PROVIDES THE BEST DRIVING
EXPERIENCE, AND IT'S QUITE A

21:34.367 --> 21:37.100 position:10% line:50% size:80%
GOOD ONE; THOUGH, YOU'RE NOT
FOOLED INTO THINKING YOUR

21:37.200 --> 21:40.667 position:10% line:50% size:80%
DRIVING SKILLS ARE DELIVERING
THE MECHANICAL PRECISION.

21:40.767 --> 21:44.133 position:10% line:50% size:80%
IT'S MORE ALONG THE LINES OF,
THE CAR KNOWS WHAT TO DO,

21:44.234 --> 21:47.100 position:10% line:50% size:80%
SO JUST PUT THINGS INTO MOTION,
AND ENJOY THE INCREASED

21:47.200 --> 21:48.601 position:10% line:50% size:80%
CLIP THROUGH THE CORNER.

21:50.000 --> 21:52.901 position:10% line:50% size:80%
AND THINGS HELD UP REALLY WELL
WHEN WE PUSHED EVEN HARDER

21:53.000 --> 21:54.200 position:10% line:50% size:80%
AT OUR TEST TRACK.

21:54.300 --> 21:57.901 position:10% line:50% size:80%
DESPITE ITS HEFT AND LARGE
FOOTPRINT, OUR ALL-WHEEL-DRIVER

21:58.000 --> 22:01.567 position:10% line:50% size:80%
STAYED COMMENDABLY FLAT, AND
PROCEEDS CONFIDENTLY WHEREVER

22:01.667 --> 22:03.334 position:10% line:50% size:80%
YOU POINT IT.

22:03.434 --> 22:07.701 position:10% line:50% size:80%
KEEP IT POINTED STRAIGHT AND IT
PULLS HARD AND RELENTLESSLY.

22:07.801 --> 22:10.634 position:10% line:50% size:80%
POWER BUILDS RAPIDLY
RIGHT FROM THE GET GO,

22:10.734 --> 22:13.334 position:10% line:50% size:80%
AND IT RIFLES THROUGH GEARS
ALMOST AS QUICKLY.

22:14.901 --> 22:17.834 position:10% line:50% size:80%
WE HIT 60 IN JUST 5.2-SECONDS
AND CLEARED THE QUARTER

22:17.934 --> 22:21.534 position:10% line:50% size:80%
IN 13.6-SECONDS
AT 103 MILES-PER-HOUR.

22:21.634 --> 22:24.868 position:10% line:50% size:80%
YEAH, YOU DEFINITELY
WON'T MISS THE V8.

22:24.968 --> 22:29.901 position:10% line:50% size:80%
*

22:30.000 --> 22:32.334 position:10% line:50% size:80%
WE'LL GO OUT ON A LIMB AND SAY
YOU WON'T MISS THE PREVIOUS

22:32.434 --> 22:34.601 position:10% line:50% size:80%
GEN'S BORING EXTERIOR EITHER.

22:34.701 --> 22:38.734 position:10% line:50% size:80%
THE NEW LS IS LONGER; BUT THERE
ARE ALSO MORE SERIOUSLY SPORTY

22:38.834 --> 22:42.901 position:10% line:50% size:80%
LINES TO GO ALONG WITH
THOSE DYNAMIC CREDENTIALS.

22:43.000 --> 22:45.634 position:10% line:50% size:80%
THERE'S A COUPE-LIKE ROOF
LINE NATURALLY, ALONG WITH

22:45.734 --> 22:48.534 position:10% line:50% size:80%
EXAGGERATED FENDERS;
AND WHETHER YOU LIKE OR NOT,

22:48.634 --> 22:52.067 position:10% line:50% size:80%
THE FRONT END IS DOMINATED BY
THEIR INFAMOUS SPINDLE GRILLE,

22:52.167 --> 22:54.701 position:10% line:50% size:80%
WHICH WE THINK WORKS WELL HERE.

22:54.801 --> 22:58.767 position:10% line:50% size:80%
INSIDE, THINGS ARE NOT QUITE
AS APPEALING AS THE LC COUPE.

22:58.868 --> 23:01.934 position:10% line:50% size:80%
THE LINEAR DASH IS HERE,
ALONG WITH MANY UNIQUE SHAPES

23:02.033 --> 23:04.868 position:10% line:50% size:80%
AND MATERIALS; BUT THE OVERALL
THEME IS A LITTLE HARDER

23:04.968 --> 23:06.067 position:10% line:50% size:80%
TO DETERMINE.

23:06.167 --> 23:09.267 position:10% line:50% size:80%
MATERIAL QUALITY IS QUITE GOOD,
AS YOU'D EXPECT;

23:09.367 --> 23:12.467 position:10% line:50% size:80%
BUT THERE ARE PUZZLING ASPECTS
LIKE THE IMPRECISE

23:12.567 --> 23:15.400 position:10% line:50% size:80%
AND FRUSTRATING TOUCH PANEL
CONTROLLER,

23:15.501 --> 23:18.434 position:10% line:50% size:80%
AND THE DIGITAL GAUGE CLUSTER
THAT PROVIDES A WEALTH OF

23:18.534 --> 23:22.767 position:10% line:50% size:80%
INFORMATION, YET SEEMS TO LEAVE
A LOT OF EMPTY SPACE IN THE I.P.

23:24.234 --> 23:26.834 position:10% line:50% size:80%
GOVERNMENT FUEL ECONOMY RATINGS
WITH ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE

23:26.934 --> 23:30.601 position:10% line:50% size:80%
ARE 18-CITY, 27-HIGHWAY,
AND 21-COMBINED,

23:30.701 --> 23:33.968 position:10% line:50% size:80%
AND WE AVERAGED A FINE
23.9 MILES-PER-GALLON

23:34.067 --> 23:35.534 position:10% line:50% size:80%
ON PREMIUM.

23:35.634 --> 23:38.834 position:10% line:50% size:80%
STILL, THAT'S A SLIGHTLY WORSE
THAN AVERAGE ENERGY IMPACT SCORE

23:38.934 --> 23:41.601 position:10% line:50% size:80%
OF 15.7-BARRELS OF YEARLY
OIL USE,

23:41.701 --> 23:44.801 position:10% line:50% size:80%
WITH CO2 EMISSIONS OF 6.9-TONS.

23:44.901 --> 23:48.167 position:10% line:50% size:80%
A HYBRID LS VERSION REMAINS
AVAILABLE, AND WILL GET YOU

23:48.267 --> 23:51.467 position:10% line:50% size:80%
UP TO 33-MPG IN THE CITY.

23:51.567 --> 23:55.367 position:10% line:50% size:80%
THE BIGGEST LS TRADITION OF ALL,
IS OFFERING AN AMAZING AMOUNT OF

23:55.467 --> 23:58.033 position:10% line:50% size:80%
LUXURY AND COMFORT FOR
NOT A WHOLE LOT OF MONEY.

23:58.133 --> 24:03.701 position:10% line:50% size:80%
FORTUNATELY, THAT CONTINUES
WITH BASE PRICING OF $75,995.

24:04.901 --> 24:08.000 position:10% line:50% size:80%
THE LS OF COURSE, LAUNCHED THE
LEXUS BRAND, AND OVER THE LAST

24:08.100 --> 24:11.434 position:10% line:50% size:80%
28-YEARS, THEY'VE CERTAINLY
GAINED GROUND ON THE GERMAN

24:11.534 --> 24:15.334 position:10% line:50% size:80%
LUXURY BRANDS THEY WERE
OH SO OBVIOUSLY COPYING.

24:15.434 --> 24:19.901 position:10% line:50% size:80%
BUT WITH THE 2018 LS 500,
LEXUS SEEMS TO HAVE ABANDONED

24:20.000 --> 24:23.400 position:10% line:50% size:80%
THAT APPROACH, NOW CARVING OUT A
NICHE THAT IS ALL THEIR OWN

24:23.501 --> 24:24.667 position:10% line:50% size:80%
MAKING.

24:24.767 --> 24:27.567 position:10% line:50% size:80%
WE APPLAUD THAT STRATEGY AND
THINK IT WILL LEAD TO BIGGER
