01:39.366 --> 01:41.068
TASKS WE HAVE AT MOTORWEEK ,

01:41.134 --> 01:43.403
IS TRYING TO NARROW DOWN WHICH

NEW MODELS STAND OUT THE MOST,

01:45.238 --> 01:47.641
TO EARN OUR ANNUAL DRIVERS'

LATEST STARS,

02:13.166 --> 02:15.068
WE CAN COME UP WITH MANY REASONS

02:15.135 --> 02:16.870
WHY, BUT IT REALLY COMES DOWN TO

02:16.937 --> 02:18.672
THE WIDE VARIETY OF POWERTRAINS

02:18.739 --> 02:20.273
AVAILABLE AND THE RESPONSIVE

02:20.340 --> 02:21.808
HANDLING NO MATTER WHICH ONE

02:21.875 --> 02:25.379
YOU CHOOSE: TSI, TDI, GTI;

02:25.445 --> 02:26.446
OUR FAVORITE,

02:26.513 --> 02:28.515
AND EVEN THE ELECTRIC E-GOLF.

02:28.582 --> 02:30.117

THERE ARE TWO AND 4-DOOR

ALL DELIVERING A HUGE AMOUNT OF

02:35.956 --> 02:37.991
PRACTICALLY AND SPACE.

02:38.058 --> 02:39.593
THEY'RE EVERYTHING A SMALL CAR

02:39.660 --> 02:41.495
SHOULD BE AND OUR "NO BRAINER"

02:41.561 --> 02:42.929
DECISION OF THE YEAR.

02:44.431 --> 02:45.632
OUR BEST FAMILY SEDAN WINNER IS

02:46.166 --> 02:47.067
THE ALL WHEEL DRIVE

02:47.167 --> 02:48.568
SUBARU LEGACY.

02:48.669 --> 02:50.504
WE CHOSE LEGACY FOR ITS BIG

02:52.305 --> 02:54.074
AND HANDLING THAT, ALONG WITH

02:54.141 --> 02:55.575
STANDARD ALL WHEEL DRIVE,

02:55.642 --> 02:57.210
MAKE IT A SOLID CHALLENGER

02:57.277 --> 02:58.845
TO SEGMENT SALES LEADERS.

02:59.913 --> 03:01.848
SUBARU CLEARLY STUDIED LEGACY

03:01.915 --> 03:03.650
RIVALS, MATCHING OR EXCEEDING

03:03.717 --> 03:05.585
WHAT THEY DO BEST, ALL WITHOUT

03:05.652 --> 03:07.020
ELIMINATING THINGS THAT MAKE

03:07.087 --> 03:08.755
SUBARU'S UNIQUE.

03:08.822 --> 03:10.791
SUBARU ALSO LISTENED CLOSELY TO

03:10.857 --> 03:12.826
CUSTOMERS, ADDRESSING ISSUES

03:12.893 --> 03:14.094
LIKE GAUGES, SWITCHGEAR,

03:14.161 --> 03:16.063
SEAT COMFORT, AND NAVIGATION.

03:16.129 --> 03:18.098
TOPPING IT OFF, THEY WERE ABLE

03:18.165 --> 03:19.433
TO MAKE FUEL ECONOMY NUMBERS

03:19.499 --> 03:21.301
COMPETITIVE EVEN WITH ALL WHEEL

03:21.368 --> 03:22.169
TRACTION.

03:22.235 --> 03:23.437
IT'S A GREAT EFFORT.

03:24.738 --> 03:26.039
DON'T GET OUR STAFFERS STARTED

03:26.106 --> 03:28.508
ON BMW'S NEW NAMING STRATEGY,

03:28.575 --> 03:29.476
AS YOU'LL GET AN EARFUL.

03:30.177 --> 03:31.211
BUT THE SAME THING WILL HAPPEN

03:31.311 --> 03:32.345
IF YOU ASK THEM ABOUT

03:32.446 --> 03:34.514
THE 4 SERIES CONVERTIBLE.

03:36.083 --> 03:37.884
FUN TO DRIVE NATURE THAT MAKES

03:37.951 --> 03:39.252
IT THE FINEST 4-SEATER

03:39.319 --> 03:40.487
CONVERTIBLE IN WHAT IS

03:40.554 --> 03:42.489
A SHRINKING SEGMENT.

03:42.556 --> 03:44.057
BUT, NOT ONLY IS IT AN ALL OUT

03:44.124 --> 03:45.859
HANDLING STAR, THE HARD TOP

03:45.926 --> 03:47.561
DESIGN HELPS IT RETAIN ALMOST

03:47.627 --> 03:49.362
ALL OF THE ASPECTS OF THE COUPE

03:49.429 --> 03:51.098
THAT IT'S BASED ON, INCLUDING

03:51.164 --> 03:53.166
THE SHARP LOOKING PROFILE.

03:53.233 --> 03:55.235
YET IT FOLDS UP COMPACTLY ENOUGH

03:55.302 --> 03:56.470
TO LEAVE A DECENT AMOUNT OF

03:56.536 --> 03:57.571
TRUNK SPACE.

03:59.106 --> 04:00.006
THERE WERE A LOT OF NEW

04:00.073 --> 04:01.908
CONTENDERS FOR OUR BEST LUXURY

04:01.975 --> 04:03.710
CAR PRIZE, BUT WHILE WE WERE

04:03.777 --> 04:05.112
ARGUING BETWEEN THE NEW

04:05.178 --> 04:06.780
MERCEDES-BENZ C-CLASS

04:06.847 --> 04:08.415
AND THE HYUNDAI GENESIS,

04:08.482 --> 04:10.217
WE REALIZED THAT WE DIDN'T ENJOY

04:10.283 --> 04:11.284
EITHER OF THEM AS MUCH AS LAST

04:12.018 --> 04:15.355
YEAR'S WINNER THE CADILLAC CTS.

04:15.455 --> 04:17.057
SO, IT'S A WELL DESERVED REPEAT

04:19.226 --> 04:20.227
FULL OF LUXURY,

04:20.293 --> 04:21.261
FULL OF HIGH TECH,

04:21.328 --> 04:22.629
AND EVEN FULL OF AGILITY

04:22.696 --> 04:24.998
THANKS TO THE NIMBLE ATS CHASSIS

04:25.065 --> 04:26.533
THAT IT'S BASED ON.

04:26.600 --> 04:28.435
AND WHEN GM FINALLY GETS AROUND

04:28.502 --> 04:30.737
TO DELIVERING THE NEW CTS-V,

04:30.804 --> 04:32.773
WE'LL BE EVEN MORE ECSTATIC.

04:34.641 --> 04:36.143
PROCLAIMING THE DODGE CHARGER

04:36.243 --> 04:38.478
OUR BEST SPORT SEDAN MAY NOT

04:38.578 --> 04:40.180
SEEM LIKE THE OBVIOUS CHOICE,

04:42.015 --> 04:44.184
A CHARGER HELLCAT, YOU'LL AGREE

04:44.251 --> 04:45.652
WITH US THAT IT WAS THE ONLY

04:45.719 --> 04:47.087
CHOICE.

04:47.154 --> 04:49.089
707 HORSEPOWER IS TRULY

04:49.156 --> 04:51.324
MIND BOGGLING FOR ANY CAR,

04:51.391 --> 04:53.059
BUT PUT THAT ENGINE IN A SUPER

04:53.126 --> 04:54.928
COMFORTABLE DAILY DRIVER THAT

04:54.995 --> 04:56.363
CAN HAUL FIVE PEOPLE IN

04:56.429 --> 04:58.265
NEAR LUXURY COMFORT ALONG WITH

04:58.331 --> 04:59.666
A WEEK'S WORTH OF LUGGAGE,

04:59.733 --> 05:01.968
AND YOU'VE REALLY GOT SOMETHING.

05:02.035 --> 05:03.170
AND DESPITE ITS MUSCULAR

05:03.236 --> 05:04.604
APPEARANCE, DON'T THINK

05:04.671 --> 05:06.139
FOR A MINUTE THAT THIS IS SOME

05:06.206 --> 05:08.074
NOSTALGIC THROWBACK.

05:08.141 --> 05:10.043
IT'S A TRULY MODERN SEDAN WITH

05:10.110 --> 05:11.645
A STANDARD 8-SPEED AUTOMATIC

05:11.711 --> 05:13.747
AND AVAILABLE ALL WHEEL DRIVE.

05:16.116 --> 05:17.484
WE'LL CONTINUE OUR BIG TIME

05:27.727 --> 05:29.129
WITH A NEW INDEPENDENT REAR

05:29.196 --> 05:31.231
SUSPENSION THAT SERIOUSLY UPPED

05:31.298 --> 05:32.499
THE HANDLING PERFORMANCE,

05:32.566 --> 05:34.668
THE RETURN OF TURBO-4 POWER THAT

05:34.734 --> 05:36.236
BOOSTED FUEL ECONOMY WITHOUT

05:36.303 --> 05:38.038
LOSING ANY FUN FACTOR.

05:38.104 --> 05:39.673
PLUS, A EURO-SPEC LEVEL

05:39.739 --> 05:41.341
OF REFINEMENT TO THE INTERIOR

05:41.408 --> 05:43.043
THAT HAS RAISED THE BAR FOR

05:43.109 --> 05:44.277
THE SEGMENT.

05:44.344 --> 05:45.946
IT FULLY LIVES UP TO FORD'S

08:18.164 --> 08:19.733
THE YEAR, ARE STILL TO COME.

08:27.941 --> 08:29.776
BY NOW, WE'RE ALL USED TO SEEING

08:29.843 --> 08:31.845
MASS MARKET HYBRID, ELECTRIC,

08:31.911 --> 08:33.279
AND ALTERNATIVE FUELED

08:33.346 --> 08:35.248
PASSENGER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD.

08:35.315 --> 08:36.916
BUT THERE'S STILL TREMENDOUS

08:36.983 --> 08:38.785
GROWTH AND NEW TECHNOLOGIES

08:38.852 --> 08:40.453
BEING DEVELOPED THESE DAYS IN

08:40.520 --> 08:41.821
COMMERCIAL VEHICLES,

08:41.888 --> 08:43.656
AND OUR MOST RECENT STOP AT

08:43.723 --> 08:46.092
THE ACT EXPO IN DALLAS, TEXAS

08:46.159 --> 08:48.028
SHOWCASED THE LATEST AND MOST

08:48.094 --> 08:49.529
PROMISING.

08:56.036 --> 08:56.970
THE ALTERNATIVE CLEAN

08:57.037 --> 08:59.706
TRANSPORTATION, OR ACT EXPO IS

08:59.773 --> 09:01.408
NORTH AMERICA'S LARGEST CLEAN

09:01.474 --> 09:02.609
FLEET SHOW.

09:02.675 --> 09:03.910
HERE, MANUFACTURERS,

09:03.977 --> 09:04.878
FLEET BUYERS,

09:04.944 --> 09:05.912
VEHICLE UP FITTERS,

09:05.979 --> 09:08.081
AND FUEL SUPPLIERS GATHER TO

09:08.148 --> 09:09.449
LEARN ABOUT THE LATEST IN GREEN

09:09.516 --> 09:11.718
TRANSPORTATION TECHNOLOGY AND TO

09:11.785 --> 09:14.154
TRY IT OUT FOR THEMSELVES.

09:14.220 --> 09:15.488
REPLACING DIESEL FUEL IN

09:15.555 --> 09:16.756
COMMERCIAL VEHICLES IS

09:16.823 --> 09:18.525
A CRITICAL STEP IN REDUCING OUR

09:18.591 --> 09:20.460
COMMERCIAL CARBON FOOTPRINT,

09:20.527 --> 09:22.328
AND ONE PROMISING SOLUTION

09:22.395 --> 09:24.664
BY ALLIANCE AUTOGAS IS A SYSTEM

09:24.731 --> 09:26.166
THAT PIGGYBACKS A SECOND

09:26.232 --> 09:27.934
INJECTION SYSTEM ONTO A DIESEL

09:28.001 --> 09:30.003
ENGINE AND REPLACES PART OF

09:30.070 --> 09:31.971
THE VEHICLE'S DIESEL FUEL LOAD

09:32.038 --> 09:33.973
WITH CLEANER BURNING AND LESS

09:34.040 --> 09:35.708
COSTLY PROPANE.

09:35.775 --> 09:36.276
>> ED HOFFMAN: THE GREAT PART

09:36.976 --> 09:37.510
ABOUT THIS SYSTEM IS THAT IT'S

09:37.610 --> 09:38.912
CLASSIFIED BY THE EPA AS

09:39.012 --> 09:40.213
A MIXED-FUEL SYSTEM.

09:41.648 --> 09:43.183
COMPONENTS REMAIN IN PLACE AND

09:43.249 --> 09:45.018
CAN STILL OPERATE ON ITS OWN.

09:45.085 --> 09:47.187
THE PROPANE ACTUALLY IS INJECTED

09:47.253 --> 09:50.790
AND IS USED TO OFFSET DIESEL

09:50.857 --> 09:53.226
AT NEARLY A 1 TO 1 RATIO.

09:53.293 --> 09:54.394
>> JOHN: THAT ADDS UP TO ABOUT

09:54.461 --> 09:56.463
7 CENTS PER MILE IN FUEL SAVINGS

09:56.529 --> 09:57.630
FOR THE CUSTOMER.

09:57.697 --> 09:59.399
BUT PROPANE FUELING STATIONS

09:59.466 --> 10:00.867
THAT CAN ACCOMMODATE COMMERCIAL

10:00.934 --> 10:02.602
BIG RIGS OUT ON THE ROAD ARE

10:02.669 --> 10:04.771
SCARCE, SO THIS TYPE OF SYSTEM

10:04.838 --> 10:06.239
WORKS BEST FOR REGIONAL

10:06.306 --> 10:08.608
OR HUB BASED FLEETS.

10:08.675 --> 10:10.276
FOR TRUCKS THAT OPERATE IN URBAN

10:10.343 --> 10:12.112
AREAS WITH LOTS OF STOP AND GO

10:12.178 --> 10:14.247
TRAFFIC, AN ELECTRIC POWER BOOST

10:14.314 --> 10:15.949
MAKES A LOT OF SENSE.

10:16.015 --> 10:18.518
XL HYBRIDS MAKES A SURPRISINGLY

10:18.585 --> 10:20.220
SIMPLE AND AFFORDABLE ADD-ON

10:20.286 --> 10:22.188
HYBRID SYSTEM FOR GM

10:22.255 --> 10:23.923
AND FORD VAN CHASSIS,

10:23.990 --> 10:26.593
INCLUDING THE NEW FORD TRANSIT.

10:26.659 --> 10:28.161
A SHORTENED DRIVESHAFT WITH

10:28.228 --> 10:29.929
AN INLINE ELECTRIC MOTOR MODULE

10:29.996 --> 10:31.331
IS INSTALLED, ALONG WITH

10:31.397 --> 10:33.166
A RECHARGEABLE BATTERY PACK

10:33.233 --> 10:34.801
AND CONTROL MODULES.

10:34.868 --> 10:35.835
THE INCREASED TORQUE,

10:35.902 --> 10:38.037
ALWAYS WELCOMED IN A WORK TRUCK,

10:38.104 --> 10:40.006
COMES WITH A CLAIMED 25 PERCENT

10:40.073 --> 10:42.308
INCREASE IN MPG EFFICIENCY

10:42.375 --> 10:45.678
AND NO IMPACT ON CARGO CAPACITY.

10:45.745 --> 10:46.179
>> DAVID BREAULT: A LOT OF

10:46.679 --> 10:47.247
SERVICE VEHICLES,

10:47.347 --> 10:48.548
FOOD AND BEVERAGE INDUSTRY

10:48.648 --> 10:49.582
SEEMS TO BE A GOOD FIT FOR OUR

10:50.950 --> 10:52.252
OUR VANS LIKE MIXED USE

10:52.318 --> 10:54.053
CITY/URBAN USE.

10:54.120 --> 10:54.954
YOU KNOW, THE MORE TIMES

10:55.021 --> 10:55.955
THE VEHICLE STARTS AND STOPS

10:56.022 --> 10:56.789
THROUGHOUT THE DAY,

10:56.856 --> 10:58.458
THE BETTER THE RETURN IS.

10:58.525 --> 10:59.559
>> JOHN: TAKING TRUCK

10:59.626 --> 11:01.161
ELECTRIFICATION TO THE EXTREME

11:01.227 --> 11:02.595
IS THE BUSINESS PLAN FOR

11:02.662 --> 11:04.631
WRIGHTSPEED, THE BRAINCHILD OF

11:04.697 --> 11:07.200
TESLA CO-FOUNDER IAN WRIGHT.

11:07.267 --> 11:08.868
THEIR FULL PLUG-IN SYSTEM ADDS

11:08.935 --> 11:11.004
AN ELECTRIC MOTOR AND GEARBOX AT

11:11.070 --> 11:12.839
EACH DRIVE WHEEL AND REPLACES

11:12.906 --> 11:14.607
THE VEHICLE'S ORIGINAL ENGINE

11:14.674 --> 11:16.976
WITH AN 80KW GAS TURBINE

11:17.043 --> 11:18.945
GENERATOR TO ACT AS A RANGE

11:19.012 --> 11:19.746
EXTENDER.

11:20.446 --> 11:21.147
>> IAN WRIGHT: SO, THE WHEELS

11:21.247 --> 11:22.315
ARE ONLY DRIVEN BY ELECTRIC

11:22.415 --> 11:23.249
MOTORS.

11:23.349 --> 11:24.684
IN OUR CASE THEY ARE HIGH SPEED

11:26.519 --> 11:28.021
DOWN WITH A 2-SPEED GEARBOX IN

11:28.087 --> 11:29.122
THE MEDIUM DUTY TRUCKS

11:29.189 --> 11:30.290
AND A 4-SPEED GEARBOX IN

11:30.356 --> 11:32.058
THE CLASS 8 TRUCKS...

11:32.125 --> 11:33.193
>> JOHN: AND THE WRIGHTSPEED

11:33.259 --> 11:35.595
SYSTEM IS ROBUST ENOUGH TO

11:35.662 --> 11:37.130
HANDLE THE TORTUOUS DEMANDS

11:37.197 --> 11:38.898
OF DUMP TRUCKS AND REFUSE

11:38.965 --> 11:40.300
HAULERS!

11:40.366 --> 11:41.267
>> IAN WRIGHT: IT SAVES A LOT

11:41.334 --> 11:42.936
MORE FUEL IN A HARD STOP/GO

11:43.002 --> 11:44.938
DRIVE CYCLE, AND GARBAGE TRUCKS

11:45.004 --> 11:46.172
HAVE THE HARDEST STOP/GO CYCLE

11:46.239 --> 11:47.607
THAT THERE IS...

11:47.674 --> 11:49.042
YEAH, THEY GO FULL THROTTLE

11:49.108 --> 11:50.210
FOR 100 YARDS AND THEN

11:50.276 --> 11:51.277
FULL BRAKES, AND THEY HAVE

11:51.344 --> 11:52.845
IT PERFECTLY CALIBRATED HOW LONG

11:52.912 --> 11:53.880
THEY CAN LEAVE IT ON FULL

11:53.947 --> 11:54.847
THROTTLE BEFORE THEY GET ON TO

11:54.914 --> 11:56.349
FULL BRAKES.

11:56.416 --> 11:56.983
>> JOHN: ALL OF THESE

11:57.050 --> 11:58.618
TECHNOLOGIES SEEM PERFECTLY

11:58.685 --> 11:59.819
SUITED TO STEMMING OUR

11:59.886 --> 12:01.921
THIRSTIEST FUEL APPETITES,

12:01.988 --> 12:03.456
AND SHOW THE PROMISE THAT

12:03.523 --> 12:05.058
ALTERNATIVE FUELS AND CLEAN

12:05.124 --> 12:07.093
POWER TECHNOLOGY HAVE FOR

12:07.160 --> 12:08.962
GREENING UP AMERICA'S HEAVY

12:09.028 --> 12:09.896
HAULERS.

12:12.065 --> 12:13.600
>> JOHN: TENSION IS A KILLER,

12:13.666 --> 12:15.235
EVEN FOR YOUR CAR.

12:15.301 --> 12:16.903
SO, LET'S SEE IF PAT CAN EASE

12:16.970 --> 12:19.105
OUR PAIN DOWN AT GOSS' GARAGE.

12:23.977 --> 12:24.644
>> PAT: NO MATTER WHAT TYPE OF

12:24.744 --> 12:26.446
VEHICLE, THE KEY TO A LONG LIFE

12:28.348 --> 12:31.017
AND FOR EXAMPLE, WE HAVE THIS

12:31.084 --> 12:33.519
HARLEY-DAVIDSON MOTORCYCLE THAT

12:33.586 --> 12:36.656
HAS 113,000 MILES ON IT,

12:36.723 --> 12:39.626
AND STILL RUNS ALMOST LIKE NEW.

12:39.692 --> 12:41.194
WELL, IT TOOK THIS AMOUNT OF

12:41.261 --> 12:42.562
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE TO MAKE

12:42.629 --> 12:43.796
THAT HAPPEN.

12:43.863 --> 12:45.131
AND TO GIVE US SOME TIPS ABOUT

12:45.198 --> 12:46.666
MOTORCYCLES IN GENERAL,

12:46.733 --> 12:48.234
WE HAVE LYNDON ABEL FROM PATRIOT

12:48.301 --> 12:49.902
HARLEY-DAVIDSON IN FAIRFAX,

12:49.969 --> 12:51.037
VIRGINIA.

12:51.104 --> 12:52.605
LYNDON, WELCOME TO MOTORWEEK .

12:52.672 --> 12:53.606
>> LYNDON ABEL: THANKS PAT.

12:53.673 --> 12:54.173
>> PAT: ALRIGHT.

12:54.240 --> 12:55.908
NOW, ON HARLEY'S,

12:55.975 --> 12:58.011
AH, YOU HAVE A...

12:58.077 --> 12:59.779
CHAIN TENSIONER?

12:59.846 --> 13:00.413
>> LYNDON: YEAH!

13:00.480 --> 13:01.447
SO, LIKE MOST VEHICLES,

13:01.514 --> 13:03.816
THIS HARLEY-DAVIDSON HAS A CAM

13:03.883 --> 13:06.286
SUPPORT PLATE, AND THESE TWO

13:06.352 --> 13:08.688
CAMS ARE DRIVEN BY A CHAIN.

13:08.755 --> 13:10.256
AND AS I SAID, MOST VEHICLES

13:10.323 --> 13:12.058
HAVE SOMETHING SIMILAR, RIGHT?

13:12.125 --> 13:14.127
AND THEY NEED TENSION PROVIDED

13:14.193 --> 13:15.128
ON THIS CHAIN.

13:15.194 --> 13:16.829
IN THIS CASE IT'S SPRING LOADED,

13:16.896 --> 13:19.332
BUT INSTEAD OF THE TENSIONER

13:19.399 --> 13:21.467
LOOKING ABOUT LIKE THIS,

13:21.534 --> 13:22.568
WHERE THIS METAL CHAIN IS

13:22.635 --> 13:24.704
RUNNING AGAINST THIS PLASTIC

13:24.771 --> 13:26.472
TENSIONER, YOU CAN SEE THAT

13:26.539 --> 13:27.974
THE TENSIONER IS WORN COMPLETELY

13:28.041 --> 13:28.808
THROUGH.

13:28.875 --> 13:30.143
AND NOW, THIS CHAIN IS RUNNING

13:30.209 --> 13:32.845
AGAINST THIS SPRING ITSELF.

13:32.912 --> 13:34.547
AND IT'S PULLING SHRAPNEL OFF

13:34.614 --> 13:36.182
THAT SPRING, AND SENDING IT

13:36.249 --> 13:37.183
THROUGH THE MOTOR.

13:37.250 --> 13:38.217
YOU CAN SEE THAT IT'S ALREADY

13:38.284 --> 13:39.986
STARTED TO DESTROY THE CAMS,

13:40.053 --> 13:41.354
AND YOU CAN IMAGINE THE OIL PUMP

13:41.421 --> 13:42.955
LOOKS SIMILARLY POOR.

13:43.022 --> 13:44.424
THIS IS A VERY BAD THING.

13:44.490 --> 13:46.859
>> PAT: OKAY. NOW, KEEP IN MIND

13:46.926 --> 13:48.461
THAT VIRTUALLY ALL ENGINES THESE

13:48.528 --> 13:50.296
DAYS HAVE SOME TYPE OF CHAIN

13:50.363 --> 13:51.731
TENSIONER LIKE THIS,

13:51.798 --> 13:54.600
AND THEY ALL WEAR; THEY'RE LIKE

13:54.667 --> 13:55.568
BRAKE SHOES OR TIRES.

13:55.635 --> 13:58.037
SO, YOU NEED TO CHECK THEM.

13:58.104 --> 13:58.971
ALRIGHT.

13:59.038 --> 14:00.006
UPGRADE?

14:00.073 --> 14:00.640
>> LYNDON: SO, THIS IS AN

14:00.707 --> 14:01.374
UPGRADE.

14:01.441 --> 14:02.909
HARLEY-DAVIDSON SWITCHED TO

14:02.975 --> 14:04.043
A HYDRAULIC TENSIONER,

14:04.110 --> 14:05.745
AND THIS IS A BETTER WAY TO GO

14:05.812 --> 14:08.247
BECAUSE AT LOWER RPM'S,

14:08.314 --> 14:10.249
YOU NEED LESS PRESSURE ON THAT

14:10.316 --> 14:12.485
CHAIN, AND AT HIGHER RPM'S,

14:12.552 --> 14:13.786
YOU NEED MORE PRESSURE.

14:13.853 --> 14:15.521
WELL, THE OIL PUMP DELIVERS

14:15.588 --> 14:17.623
GREATER PRESSURE AT HIGHER

14:17.690 --> 14:18.858
RPM'S; WHERE YOU NEED IT MOST.

14:18.925 --> 14:20.860
BUT AT LOWER RPM'S, YOU DON'T

14:20.927 --> 14:22.028
HAVE AS MUCH PRESSURE ON

14:22.095 --> 14:23.262
THE CHAIN, WHICH MEANS YOU GET

14:23.329 --> 14:25.465
A LONGER LIFE OUT OF THIS CAM

14:25.531 --> 14:26.733
CHAIN TENSIONER.

14:26.799 --> 14:27.867
>> PAT: DOUBLE, MAYBE?

14:27.934 --> 14:29.035
>> LYNDON: AT LEAST DOUBLE IS

14:29.102 --> 14:29.702
WHAT WE'RE SEEING.

14:29.769 --> 14:32.038
>> PAT: OKAY, AND TO GO ALONG

14:32.105 --> 14:33.373
WITH THIS I'M ASSUMING IT HAS

14:33.439 --> 14:34.741
A MATCHING OIL PUMP?

14:34.807 --> 14:35.608
>> LYNDON: IT DOES.

14:35.675 --> 14:37.477
THIS OIL PUMP PROVIDES NOT ONLY

14:37.543 --> 14:38.845
THE INCREASED OIL PRESSURE THAT

14:38.911 --> 14:39.946
YOU NEED TO HANDLE THOSE

14:40.012 --> 14:41.581
HYDRAULIC TENSIONER'S, BUT ALSO

14:41.647 --> 14:43.216
ANY INCREASE BEYOND THAT.

14:43.282 --> 14:44.016
SO YOUR...

14:44.083 --> 14:45.184
YOU'LL GET BETTER FLOW,

14:45.251 --> 14:46.152
BETTER PRESSURE THROUGHOUT

14:46.219 --> 14:47.620
THE MOTOR, AS WELL AS BETTER

14:47.687 --> 14:49.422
SCAVENGING OUT OF THE CASE,

14:49.489 --> 14:51.157
WHICH IS INCREASE PERFORMANCE,

14:51.224 --> 14:52.692
AND DECREASE POTENTIAL OIL

14:52.759 --> 14:53.593
CARRYOVER.

14:53.659 --> 14:54.394
>> PAT: OKAY.

14:54.460 --> 14:55.395
LYNDON, THANK YOU.

14:55.461 --> 14:56.629
AND IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION

14:56.696 --> 14:58.731
OR COMMENT, DROP ME A LINE,

14:58.798 --> 15:00.299
RIGHT HERE AT MOTORWEEK .

15:02.001 --> 15:03.002
>> JOHN: TIME NOW TO GET BACK TO

15:03.069 --> 15:04.937
THE WINNERS OF OUR 2015

15:05.037 --> 15:06.439
MOTORWEEK DRIVERS' CHOICE

15:06.506 --> 15:07.673
AWARDS.

15:07.740 --> 15:09.509
OUR SPOTLIGHT TURNS TO TRUCKS

15:09.575 --> 15:11.544
AND UTILITIES, SO LET'S SEE

15:11.611 --> 15:12.845
WHICH ONES HAVE EARNED

15:12.912 --> 15:14.347
THE BRAGGING RIGHTS!

15:15.815 --> 15:18.718
*

15:18.785 --> 15:19.852
IN THE EVER EXPLODING

15:19.919 --> 15:21.320
AND FRACTURING CROSSOVER

15:21.387 --> 15:22.722
UTILITY MARKET,

15:22.789 --> 15:24.023
IT'S GETTING HARDER THAN EVER

15:24.090 --> 15:25.725
TO STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD.

15:25.792 --> 15:27.093
BUT THIS DYNAMIC PIECE OF

15:27.160 --> 15:27.660
ROLLING SCULPTURE,

15:28.294 --> 15:29.662
THE ALL NEW NISSAN MURANO,

15:29.762 --> 15:31.831
EASILY SETS ITSELF APART,

15:33.733 --> 15:35.701
AWARD FOR BEST SMALL UTILITY

15:35.768 --> 15:36.903
WHILE DOING SO.

15:37.937 --> 15:39.605
THE 5-SEAT MURANO IS HIGHLY

15:39.672 --> 15:40.373
STYLED,

15:40.440 --> 15:42.141
YET FUNCTIONAL AND PRACTICAL,

15:42.208 --> 15:43.276
WITH AN IMPRESSIVE AMOUNT OF

15:43.342 --> 15:45.878
INTERIOR SPACE.

15:45.945 --> 15:47.313
YET, IT'S ALSO AS FOCUSED ON

15:47.380 --> 15:48.948
LUXURY CUES AS A MAINSTREAM

15:49.015 --> 15:50.683
VEHICLE CAN BE.

15:50.750 --> 15:52.752
THE EXTERIOR'S INFLATED LINES

15:52.819 --> 15:54.387
AND FLOATING ROOF DESIGN

15:54.454 --> 15:56.289
CONTINUE MURANO'S EXTRAVAGANT

15:56.355 --> 15:58.124
WAYS OF LOOKING NOTHING LIKE

15:58.191 --> 16:00.193
A TYPICAL CROSSOVER.

16:00.259 --> 16:01.327
WHILE THE INTERIOR'S

16:01.394 --> 16:02.462
FIRST CLASS, LOUNGE LIKE

16:02.528 --> 16:04.263
ATMOSPHERE HAD US WRAPPED IN

16:04.330 --> 16:06.065
PRETTY POSH COMFORT.

16:06.132 --> 16:08.000
PLUS, MURANO DRIVING DYNAMICS

16:08.067 --> 16:10.336
HAVE US ACTUALLY LOOKING FORWARD

16:10.403 --> 16:11.571
TO WHERE CROSSOVERS,

16:11.637 --> 16:13.206
OR AT LEAST THOSE FROM NISSAN,

16:13.272 --> 16:15.107
ARE HEADING.

16:15.174 --> 16:16.409
AND PERHAPS THE BIGGEST FEAT

16:16.476 --> 16:18.010
OF ALL, NISSAN INCREASED

16:18.077 --> 16:19.378
FUEL ECONOMY OVER LAST

16:19.445 --> 16:21.247
GENERATION BY 20 PERCENT.

16:22.982 --> 16:24.250
WHILE CROSSOVERS CONTINUE TO

16:24.317 --> 16:26.686
RISE, CHOICES AMONG FULL SIZE,

16:26.752 --> 16:29.555
TRUCK BASED SUV'S ARE DWINDLING.

16:29.622 --> 16:30.490
BUT THE TRUTH IS,

16:30.556 --> 16:33.526
IF YOU NEED ONE, YOU NEED ONE!

16:33.593 --> 16:34.327
AND THE NEWEST,

16:34.393 --> 16:34.861
MOST CONTEMPORARY DESIGN ON

16:35.595 --> 16:37.597
THE BLOCK, THE CHEVROLET TAHOE,

16:56.682 --> 16:58.851
A BROOD OF NINE.

16:58.918 --> 17:00.253

17:10.363 --> 17:12.498
AND ENJOYABLE TO DRIVE THAN EVER

17:12.565 --> 17:14.066
BEFORE, THE TAHOE/BURB/YUKON

17:14.133 --> 17:15.768
ALSO BOAST FUEL ECONOMY THAT'S

17:15.835 --> 17:18.604
PRETTY DARN CLOSE TO CROSSOVERS.

17:19.071 --> 17:20.172
WHILE NOT CHEAP RIDES,

17:20.239 --> 17:21.507
THEY WITHOUT A DOUBT DELIVER

17:21.574 --> 17:23.409
LOTS OF VEHICLE FOR THE MONEY.

17:26.178 --> 17:27.680
THERE WAS MORE PICKUP TRUCK NEWS

17:27.747 --> 17:29.248
THIS GO AROUND THAN ANY YEAR

17:29.315 --> 17:30.583
IN RECENT MEMORY.

17:30.650 --> 17:32.118
BUT HOW, COULD WE NOT GIVE OUR

17:32.184 --> 17:34.153
BEST PICKUP TRUCK AWARD TO

17:34.220 --> 17:35.955
THE ONE ALL NEW DESIGN THAT IS

17:36.022 --> 17:37.023
A TRUE GAME CHANGER,

17:37.490 --> 17:39.825
THE FORD F-150.

17:39.926 --> 17:40.860
WHETHER YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ITS

17:40.960 --> 17:42.061
ALUMINUM BODY,

17:44.096 --> 17:46.299
OR IT'S AVAILABILITY OF NOT ONE,

17:46.365 --> 17:48.467
BUT TWO TURBO CHARGED V6'S,

17:48.534 --> 17:49.936
WITH A RESULTING BIG JUMP

17:50.002 --> 17:51.170
IN FUEL ECONOMY,

17:51.237 --> 17:52.772
IT'S A WATERSHED MOMENT

17:52.838 --> 17:55.041

17:57.410 --> 17:58.878
WILL HAVE PEOPLE LOOKING BACK

17:58.945 --> 18:00.246

18:00.313 --> 18:02.048
THE AMERICAN FAMILY FAVORITE

18:02.114 --> 18:03.516
CHANGED FOREVER.

18:04.317 --> 18:05.851
BUT BESIDES THE LOWER WEIGHT

18:05.918 --> 18:06.919
AND HIGHER TECH,

18:06.986 --> 18:08.254
IT'S STILL A TRUCK,

18:08.321 --> 18:09.922
BUILT FOR TRUCK TYPE THINGS LIKE

18:09.989 --> 18:11.924
TOWING OVER 12,000 POUNDS,

18:21.033 --> 18:22.602
ACTUAL WORK.

18:23.069 --> 18:24.737
IT'S A BOLD STEP FOR FORD THAT

18:24.804 --> 18:26.906
SHOULD KEEP THE F-150 THE NUMBER

18:26.973 --> 18:28.774
ONE SELLING VEHICLE IN AMERICA

FOR AS FAR DOWN THE ROAD

18:30.209 --> 18:31.644

OUR AWARD'S ROAD, WE STILL HAVE

18:35.748 --> 18:37.750

BUT ADVERTISING CAN ONLY GET YOU

20:10.876 --> 20:11.310

IT AS SPECIAL.

EXAGGERATED LIGHTING,

20:36.602 --> 20:37.703
SIGNATURE BADGING,

20:37.770 --> 20:39.038
AND THE FLAIR OF ITS ITALIAN

20:39.105 --> 20:42.074

COMPLETELY DISCONNECTED UNTIL

PLENTY OF CARGO ROOM OUT BACK.

OUR 2015 MOTORWEEK DRIVERS'

22:25.878 --> 22:27.947
MOTORWEEK DRIVERS' CHOICE AWARD

22:29.949 --> 22:31.250
REASONS.

22:31.317 --> 22:32.918
THERE'S THE TOTAL CHASSIS REBOOT

22:32.985 --> 22:34.119
WITH STANDARD INDEPENDENT

22:34.186 --> 22:35.888
REAR SUSPENSION THAT HELPS

22:35.955 --> 22:37.356
THE MUSTANG CLING TO THE ROAD

22:37.423 --> 22:39.058
LIKE NEVER BEFORE.

22:39.124 --> 22:40.226
THERE'S THE NEW ECOBOOST

22:40.292 --> 22:42.862
TURBO I4 POWER TO NOT ONLY BOOST

22:42.928 --> 22:44.296
FUEL ECONOMY HERE,

22:44.363 --> 22:45.664
BUT TO GIVE THE NEW MUSTANG

22:45.731 --> 22:47.733
REAL GLOBAL APPEAL.

22:47.800 --> 22:49.168
AND DON'T FORGET THE VASTLY

22:49.235 --> 22:51.470
AND SMARTLY UPGRADED INTERIOR.

22:51.537 --> 22:53.939
THEY ALL PLAY A PART, YES.

22:54.006 --> 22:55.374
BUT THE BIGGEST REASON FOR OUR

22:55.441 --> 22:57.543
ACCOLADE, FORD HAS MATURED

22:57.610 --> 22:59.245
THE MUSTANG FROM A PIECE OF

22:59.311 --> 23:01.313
WELL LOVED AMERICAN MUSCLE CAR

23:01.380 --> 23:03.349
INTO A WORLD CLASS SPORTS CAR

23:03.415 --> 23:04.450
LOOKING TO COMPETE WITH

23:04.516 --> 23:06.385
THE LIKES OF CORVETTE MORE SO

23:06.452 --> 23:08.020
THAN TRADITIONAL RIVALS LIKE

23:08.087 --> 23:09.922
CAMARO AND CHALLENGER.

23:09.989 --> 23:12.191
OKAY, IT'S NOT QUITE THERE YET,

23:12.258 --> 23:13.859
BUT FORD HAS ESSENTIALLY TAKEN

23:13.926 --> 23:15.427
WHAT WAS ALREADY OUR FAVORITE

23:15.494 --> 23:17.796
PONY CAR AND MADE IT WORLDS

23:17.863 --> 23:19.098
BETTER.

23:19.164 --> 23:20.566
USUALLY WHEN A CAR GETS AS MUCH

23:20.633 --> 23:22.701
HYPE AS THIS 6TH GEN MUSTANG,

23:22.768 --> 23:24.703
IT RARELY LIVES UP TO IT.

23:24.770 --> 23:25.804
NOT THE CASE HERE,

23:25.871 --> 23:27.640
AS EVERY VERSION WE'VE DRIVEN,

23:27.706 --> 23:28.807
WE'VE FOUND BETTER THAN

23:28.874 --> 23:30.109
ADVERTISED.

23:30.175 --> 23:31.777
SURE, THE INCREDIBLE STABLE NEW

23:31.844 --> 23:33.579
CHASSIS HELPS IT HANDLE BETTER,

23:33.646 --> 23:35.814
AND THE 2.3 LITER TURBO 4

23:35.881 --> 23:36.815
IS COOL.

23:36.882 --> 23:38.117
BUT IT'S JUST ONE OF THREE

23:38.183 --> 23:39.618
ENGINE CHOICES THAT GET OVER

23:39.685 --> 23:41.453
300 HORSEPOWER.

23:41.520 --> 23:43.322
THE STANDARD 3.7 LITER V6

23:43.389 --> 23:44.456
CARRIES OVER,

23:44.523 --> 23:46.191
AND THE 5.0 LITER V8 GETS EVEN

23:46.258 --> 23:49.528
MORE POWER, NOW AT 435.

23:49.595 --> 23:50.729
AS FOR THAT INTERIOR,

23:50.796 --> 23:52.531
WHILE THE CLASSIC LAYOUT STAYS

23:52.598 --> 23:54.700
FAMILIAR; THE SWITCHGEAR, SEATS,

23:54.767 --> 23:56.802
AND MOST MATERIALS ARE BETTER

23:56.869 --> 23:58.070
THAN ANYTHING ELSE IN

23:58.137 --> 24:00.005
THE CURRENT FORD BRAND LINEUP,

24:00.072 --> 24:01.740
AND BLOWS EVERYONE ELSE IN THIS

24:01.807 --> 24:03.442
SEGMENT AWAY.

24:03.509 --> 24:04.543
THE SAME CAN BE SAID FOR

24:04.610 --> 24:05.611
THE EXTERIOR.

24:05.678 --> 24:07.046
YOU INSTANTLY KNOW ITS PURE

24:07.112 --> 24:07.813
MUSTANG,

24:07.880 --> 24:10.215
YET IT'S MODERNLY DIFFERENT.

24:10.282 --> 24:12.418
THE 2015 FORD MUSTANG IS NOT

24:12.484 --> 24:13.686
JUST A REDESIGN,

24:13.752 --> 24:16.255
BUT A RESTART FOR THE ICON.

24:16.322 --> 24:17.656
IT SHOWS THAT WHILE FORD HAS

24:17.723 --> 24:19.091
A GREAT SENSE OF HISTORY

24:19.158 --> 24:20.426
AND ADMIRATION FOR WHAT

24:20.492 --> 24:21.593
THE MUSTANG HAS DONE FOR

24:21.660 --> 24:22.428
THE BRAND,

24:22.494 --> 24:24.029
THEY ARE NOT STANDING STILL;

24:24.096 --> 24:26.265
RATHER LOOKING FORWARD.

24:26.332 --> 24:27.533
WE KNOW THERE'S A NEW CAMARO

24:27.599 --> 24:28.767
JUST AROUND THE CORNER,

24:28.834 --> 24:30.035
BUT IT'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE

24:30.102 --> 24:31.603
PRETTY SPECIAL IF IT WANTS

24:31.670 --> 24:34.173
TO STOP FORD'S NEW 'STANG.
