the Supra sport coupe back,

34

to find out it truly delivered 
the high-performance goods.

35
00:02:03,300 --> 00:02:06,233

Toyota has been making

The Toyota Supra,

has been on the scene for 
just 3-years,

along with a few other updates 
that are sure to make its case

46
00:02:46,433 --> 00:02:48,300
even more solid.

47
00:02:48,433 --> 00:02:52,366
The Supra's new 6-speed comes 
from ZF but has been heavily

48
00:02:52,500 --> 00:02:55,600
modified for the Supra,

(car engine starts up)

51
00:03:00,433 --> 00:03:05,200
That 3.0 liter inline-6 turbo 
is BMW-sourced of course,

52
00:03:05,333 --> 00:03:09,566
though output has increased from 
its initial 335 horsepower,

53
00:03:09,700 --> 00:03:14,266
to 382 horsepower, 
and 368 pound-feet of torque,

54
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:19,433
or almost identical to the 
automatic only BMW Z4.

55
00:03:19,566 --> 00:03:20,966
And, as we found out at

56
00:03:21,100 --> 00:03:23,466
Savannah's Roebling Road 
Raceway,

57
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,466
Toyota has done much more than 
just drop in a new

58
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,500
manual transmission and call it 
a day.

59
00:03:30,633 --> 00:03:33,866
The double-joint McPherson 
strut front and multi-link

60
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,200
rear suspensions have been 
retuned for all '23 Supra's

61
00:03:38,333 --> 00:03:42,066
with upgraded shocks designed to 
further minimize roll

62
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,433
without adversely affecting 
handling.

63
00:03:45,566 --> 00:03:49,100
Brembo-based brake hardware is 
the same as before,

64
00:03:49,233 --> 00:03:51,900
but the control system has 
been recalibrated.

65
00:03:52,033 --> 00:03:56,533
They had great initial bite and 
helped us well throughout our

66
00:03:56,666 --> 00:03:58,633
track days.

67
00:03:58,766 --> 00:04:00,900
Drive modes are easy to dial in,

68
00:04:01,033 --> 00:04:04,133
and work with vehicle stability 
systems that have also

69
00:04:04,266 --> 00:04:05,833
been recalibrated.

70
00:04:05,966 --> 00:04:10,133
Plenty of chassis bracing is in 
place to tie it all together.

71
00:04:10,266 --> 00:04:13,866
The shifter itself is smooth to 
operate and clutch action

72
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,633
feels just right, 
not too heavy or too light.

73
00:04:17,766 --> 00:04:20,866
Integrated electronics not 
only allow for automatic

74
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,266
rev matching, but also 
manipulate clutch engagement

75
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,800
to maximize torque delivery.

76
00:04:28,533 --> 00:04:31,533
All-in-all, 
we'd say the manual is exactly

77
00:04:31,666 --> 00:04:35,233
what the Supra needed, as it 
makes it more fun than before;

78
00:04:35,366 --> 00:04:39,100
and at the end of the day, 
that's what it's all about.

79
00:04:39,233 --> 00:04:41,200
There's an active rear 
differential that helps

80
00:04:41,333 --> 00:04:45,033
the Supra put power down quite 
effectively out of corners;

81
00:04:45,166 --> 00:04:50,166
with a 3.46 ratio that's higher 
than the automatic's 3.15.

82
00:04:50,300 --> 00:04:53,500
It not only provides a much 
torquier overall feel

83
00:04:53,633 --> 00:04:57,033
but keeps the engine in its 
north of 5,000 rpm

84
00:04:57,166 --> 00:04:59,633
sweet spot more often.

85
00:04:59,766 --> 00:05:04,833
275/55 Michelin Pilot Super 
Sports provided plenty of grip,

86
00:05:04,966 --> 00:05:08,233
perfect for minor amounts 
of controlled oversteer

87
00:05:08,366 --> 00:05:11,533
for rotating through corners.

88
00:05:11,666 --> 00:05:13,966
For ultra-tight low speed 
corners,

89
00:05:14,100 --> 00:05:18,066
there's new Hairpin+ programming 
in the traction control

90
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,500
that allows more wheelspin 
than before,

91
00:05:20,633 --> 00:05:24,633
plus, the active rear shifts 
power to keep drive off strong

92
00:05:24,766 --> 00:05:29,133
instead of just inducing a bunch 
of power-on oversteer.

93
00:05:29,266 --> 00:05:34,833
(car engine revs/tires screech)

94
00:05:34,966 --> 00:05:38,033
That upgraded rear partially 
helps negate the pause

95
00:05:38,166 --> 00:05:41,700
for shifting during 
straight-line acceleration runs,

96
00:05:41,833 --> 00:05:45,066
taking us just 2/10ths longer to 
hit 60 than the automatic

97
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,900
at 4.3 seconds.

98
00:05:48,033 --> 00:05:51,466
It's an easy manual car to 
launch consistently,

99
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,700
as everything has plenty of 
feel,

100
00:05:53,833 --> 00:05:57,366
yet is not too abrupt or firm 
for daily use.

101
00:05:57,500 --> 00:06:00,033
With power delivery staying 
consistent throughout

102
00:06:00,166 --> 00:06:03,600

we finished in 12.8 seconds

103
00:06:03,733 --> 00:06:06,433
at 115 miles per hour.

104
00:06:08,033 --> 00:06:10,433
Some changes have taken place 
inside,

105
00:06:10,566 --> 00:06:14,133
as the center console has been 
reconfigured to house

106
00:06:14,266 --> 00:06:17,100
the shifter, moving 
the iDrive-like controller

107
00:06:17,233 --> 00:06:18,500
to the right a bit.

108
00:06:18,633 --> 00:06:21,666
And just because you're 
tasked with shifting gears

109
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,300
doesn't mean you have to 
give up any amenities,

110
00:06:24,433 --> 00:06:26,633
as Premium trim is 
still available

111
00:06:26,766 --> 00:06:29,133

Head-Up display,

112

carp about is fuel economy.

121

crawls under a Ford F-150

169
00:10:06,033 --> 00:10:08,766
to put it into perspective 
for us.

170
00:10:08,900 --> 00:10:11,166
MICHAEL LEDOUX: A catalytic 
converter is a device

171
00:10:11,300 --> 00:10:16,166
on a vehicle and in this case, 
we have two catalytic converters

172
00:10:16,300 --> 00:10:19,233
that is used to reduce 
the harmful gases

173
00:10:19,366 --> 00:10:22,166
in a vehicles emissions that has 
been through precious metals.

174
00:10:22,566 --> 00:10:26,066
They are metals such as 
palladium, rhodium,

175
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:27,166
and platinum.

176
00:10:27,300 --> 00:10:29,800
So that the emissions coming 
out of the vehicle

177
00:10:29,933 --> 00:10:32,400
through the exhaust system 
you see here

178
00:10:32,533 --> 00:10:34,666
is not as harmful to 
the environment

179
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,400
and those precious metals are 
extremely valuable.

180
00:10:38,533 --> 00:10:40,533
STEPHANIE: Driven by the idea 
of fast cash,

181
00:10:40,666 --> 00:10:46,633

catalytic converter.

CARFAX data shows the cars 
most likely to have their

183
00:10:49,633 --> 00:10:53,200

are the Toyota Prius

184
00:10:53,333 --> 00:10:57,000

1989-2020.

187
00:11:07,966 --> 00:11:10,333
You will easily know if your 
car's catalytic converter

188
00:11:10,466 --> 00:11:15,533
has been stolen by the extra 
loud exhaust sound.

189
00:11:15,666 --> 00:11:18,100
STEPHANIE: Does car insurance 
cover this type of theft?

190
00:11:18,233 --> 00:11:20,033
MICHAEL: It really depends 
on what type of car insurance

191
00:11:20,166 --> 00:11:21,233
you have.

192
00:11:21,366 --> 00:11:24,433
Typically, if you don't have 
comprehensive insurance

193
00:11:24,566 --> 00:11:28,200
it's not covered and a lot of 
folks on older model vehicles

194
00:11:28,333 --> 00:11:30,400
don't have comprehensive 
therefore they will

195
00:11:30,533 --> 00:11:33,166

quite expensive.

00:11:38,133 --> 00:11:39,666
MICHAEL: Stephanie, 
because they're universal

00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,800
they're easy to take off 
a vehicle and this will fit

resale on the after-market

According to the Insurance 
Institute for Highway Safety,

227
00:13:01,100 --> 00:13:05,466
seat belt usage for drivers 
was 91 percent in 2020.

228

And belt usage was even 
lower for rear passengers.

Front seat passengers wore their

but actually there's great, 
important information

253

molded into the sidewall 
of the tire.

254
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,366
The tire size is on the sidewall 
of the tire,

255
00:14:25,500 --> 00:14:28,800
and you can the tire size 
and pressure on the sticker

on the driver side door jamb.

257
00:14:31,333 --> 00:14:35,666
Also, molded into the sidewall 
of the tire is a DOT stamp.

258
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,566
It's got four digits on it, 
and that represents

259
00:14:38,700 --> 00:14:40,666
when the tire was born.

260
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,933
Did you know your tire 
has a birth date?

261
00:14:44,066 --> 00:14:48,166
This tire represents 11-18, 
which means it is born

263
00:14:52,700 --> 00:14:55,300
Also, on the sidewall of 
the tire,

264
00:14:55,433 --> 00:14:58,333
you can see it's the thinnest 
part of the tire,

265
00:14:58,466 --> 00:15:02,500
which means if there's any 
bulges, cracks, or tears,

266
00:15:02,633 --> 00:15:04,600
that would mess with 
the tire's integrity,

267
00:15:04,733 --> 00:15:07,933
making it a prime candidate 
for a blowout.

268
00:15:08,066 --> 00:15:09,833
So, be mindful when you're 
looking at your tires,

269
00:15:09,966 --> 00:15:12,200
if you see any wrinkles or 
crinkles in there,

00:15:12,333 --> 00:15:14,700
you want to go to the shop to 
have it replaced.

271
00:15:14,833 --> 00:15:17,466
You also see, on the sidewall 
of the tire,

272
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,533
it mentions what I call the 
"T's":

273
00:15:19,666 --> 00:15:22,766
The temperature, the treadwear, 
and the traction.

274
00:15:22,900 --> 00:15:24,900
The higher the temperature, the 
higher the traction,

275
00:15:25,033 --> 00:15:28,533
the higher the treadwear...that 
all means you have a great tire

276
00:15:28,666 --> 00:15:32,000
that can withstand all different 
kind of weather changes.

277
00:15:32,133 --> 00:15:34,966
In addition to that, 
on the sidewall it also says

278
00:15:35,100 --> 00:15:38,766
what model tire that is.. 
meaning is your tire good

279
00:15:38,900 --> 00:15:40,266

00:18:18,933 --> 00:18:20,733
plug-ins a little easier.

333
00:18:20,866 --> 00:18:23,700
But this is a small complaint; 
one we certainly aren't getting

334
00:18:23,833 --> 00:18:26,733
worked up over, especially 
with the soothing sounds

335
00:18:26,866 --> 00:18:29,733
of nature playing from 
the stereo.

336
00:18:29,866 --> 00:18:32,100
We'll keep charging up 
and charging ahead

337
00:18:32,233 --> 00:18:36,533
with our 2022 Kia EV6, 
and we'll be back soon

338
00:18:36,666 --> 00:18:40,933
with an update on our Volkswagen 
Jetta GLI on the next

339
00:18:41,066 --> 00:18:44,066
MotorWeek  Long Term 
Road Test Update!

340
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,366
JOHN: The world of full-size 
pickup trucks has always been

341
00:18:48,500 --> 00:18:52,100
a highly competitive one, 
but never more so than now.

342
00:18:52,233 --> 00:18:55,533
Not only are the big-3 trying to 
outdo one another,

343
00:18:55,666 --> 00:18:58,500
but Toyota and Nissan have 
upped their games in order

344
00:18:58,633 --> 00:19:02,066
to carve out a bigger slice of 
the segment for themselves.

345
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,466
All that to say, 
after 3-years on the market,

346
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,866
the 4th generation Chevrolet 
Silverado is arriving

347
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:13,600
with some timely updates to keep 
the bowtie ridin' high!

348
00:19:14,566 --> 00:19:20,566
♪ ♪

349
00:19:20,700 --> 00:19:23,633
When it comes to pickup truck 
lifecycles,

350
00:19:23,766 --> 00:19:27,266
3-years is certainly not 
a long time.

351
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:31,100
But, with the full-size truck 
segment as competitive as it is,

352
00:19:31,233 --> 00:19:34,733
it's the perfect amount of time 
to spice things up;

353
00:19:34,866 --> 00:19:37,966
keeping your brand at top of 
mind when your faithful

354
00:19:38,100 --> 00:19:40,500
feel it's time for a new truck.

355
00:19:40,633 --> 00:19:44,566
So, for 2022, 
the Chevrolet Silverado

356
00:19:44,700 --> 00:19:47,500
gets a comprehensive suite 
of updates.

357
00:19:47,633 --> 00:19:51,733
Indeed, all 1500 Silverado's 
add a new front fascia

358
00:19:51,866 --> 00:19:55,566
that drops the headlights a 
little lower towards the ground,

359
00:19:55,700 --> 00:19:59,133
while also updating the daytime 
running lights.

360
00:19:59,266 --> 00:20:02,833
As before, regular, double, 
and crew cabs are available,

361
00:20:02,966 --> 00:20:05,966
plus long, standard, 
or short bed lengths.

362
00:20:06,100 --> 00:20:08,333
The bed is still made of 
high-strength steel

363
00:20:08,466 --> 00:20:11,900
with 12-tie downs, 
and available power operating

364
00:20:12,033 --> 00:20:15,766
tailgate or trick multiflex 
tailgate.

365
00:20:15,900 --> 00:20:19,266
But it's inside where the 
biggest changes take place.

366
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,566
The interior is essentially 
all-new,

367
00:20:22,700 --> 00:20:27,166
and that includes a 13.4 inch 
touchscreen for LT trim

368
00:20:27,300 --> 00:20:30,266
and above; plus, 
new colors to choose from

369
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,933
and upgraded materials.

370
00:20:33,066 --> 00:20:37,233
The dash itself replaces the 
chunky segmented vibe

371
00:20:37,366 --> 00:20:40,133
with a more flowing 
horizontal design,

372
00:20:40,266 --> 00:20:43,633
and the center console takes on 
a more functional role,

373
00:20:43,766 --> 00:20:46,200
including housing a new 
electronic shifter

374
00:20:46,333 --> 00:20:48,066
for the transmission.

375
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,433
All the changes not only look 
better but provide

376
00:20:51,566 --> 00:20:54,766
a more spacious feel; 
and there are more thoughtful

377
00:20:54,900 --> 00:20:57,533
storage spaces up front, 
including behind

378
00:20:57,666 --> 00:21:02,500
the infotainment screen, as well 
as in the rear seat area too.

379
00:21:02,633 --> 00:21:05,966
Crew cab means, plenty of room 
for rear seat passengers

380
00:21:06,100 --> 00:21:10,400
to stretch out, as well as 
lots of cargo flexibility.

381
00:21:10,533 --> 00:21:14,266
Also, new for '22, 
is a clear and info-packed

382
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,566
12 inch digital instrument 
cluster.

383
00:21:17,700 --> 00:21:21,166
High Country trim adds open pore 
wood trim,

384
00:21:21,300 --> 00:21:24,100
custom-stitched and perforated 
leather seating,

385
00:21:24,233 --> 00:21:26,166
and stainless steel accents.

386
00:21:26,300 --> 00:21:29,500
You can go further with an 
add-on premium package

387
00:21:29,633 --> 00:21:32,400
for a sunroof, 
all-weather floor liners,

388
00:21:32,533 --> 00:21:36,300
and 22-aluminum wheels; 
and technology package

389
00:21:36,433 --> 00:21:39,766
which adds a head-up display, 
rear camera mirror,

390
00:21:39,900 --> 00:21:42,366
and adaptive cruise control.

391
00:21:42,500 --> 00:21:46,233
Silverado buyers can now even 
add GM's well-regarded

392
00:21:46,366 --> 00:21:50,800
Super Cruise semi-autonomous 
hands-free driving assistance.

393
00:21:50,933 --> 00:21:53,466
Four-wheel-drive is available 
of course,

394
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,233
as are a wide range of 
drive modes,

395
00:21:56,366 --> 00:21:59,800
and integrated trailer 
brake controls.

396
00:21:59,933 --> 00:22:03,500
Engine choices are unchanged 
but updated.

397
00:22:03,633 --> 00:22:08,900
A 2.7 liter turbo I4, 
a 3.0 liter I6 Duramax Diesel

398
00:22:09,033 --> 00:22:13,033
with 460 pound-feet of torque, 
and two V8's,

399
00:22:13,166 --> 00:22:19,866
the 355 horsepower 5.3 liter 
and 420 horsepower 6.2 liter.

400
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,600
The 2.7 liter got 
the most attention

401
00:22:22,733 --> 00:22:27,433
with a 20 percent boost in 
torque to 430 pound-feet.

402
00:22:27,566 --> 00:22:31,433
But, our High Country was 
sporting the 6.2 liter V8

403
00:22:31,566 --> 00:22:34,400
and its 460 pound-feet 
of torque.

404
00:22:34,533 --> 00:22:38,933
Its 10-speed automatic is shared 
by all except for the 4-cylinder

405
00:22:39,066 --> 00:22:41,333
which works with an 8-speed.

406
00:22:41,466 --> 00:22:44,666
At our test track, 
there wasn't much of a hole shot

407
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:48,900
coming off the line, 
but once this 4X4 got rolling,

408
00:22:49,033 --> 00:22:51,766
you could really feel the power 
pour on,

409
00:22:51,900 --> 00:22:55,433
hitting 60 in 6.5 seconds.

410
00:22:55,566 --> 00:22:59,100
That power delivery stayed 
smooth and consistent

411
00:22:59,233 --> 00:23:01,766
from there until the end of 
the quarter-mile;

412
00:23:01,900 --> 00:23:06,166
with a nice V8 rumble and smooth 
shifts from the transmission.

413
00:23:06,300 --> 00:23:11,766
Our best time was 14.8 seconds 
at 96 miles per hour.

414
00:23:11,900 --> 00:23:14,500
No matter which drive mode 
we used through our

415
00:23:14,633 --> 00:23:18,266
handling course, the Silverado's 
extremely light steering

416
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,666
made for a disconnected feel.

417
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:25,066
It also made this big truck feel 
even bigger than it really is,

418
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,600
prompting us to keep our 
speeds low,

419
00:23:27,733 --> 00:23:33,000
so that neither understeer or 
oversteer ever was a problem.

420
00:23:33,133 --> 00:23:36,366
While, you can get in 
a Silverado for as little

421
00:23:36,500 --> 00:23:40,433
as just over $40,000, 
most truck buyers are spending

422
00:23:40,566 --> 00:23:43,000
a lot more than that these days.

423
00:23:43,133 --> 00:23:48,000
Our High Country tester starts 
at $65,095,

424
00:23:48,133 --> 00:23:52,300
cruising over $70,000 
with options.

425
00:23:52,433 --> 00:23:56,733
Now, even with these updates, 
it is unlikely that Silverado

426
00:23:56,866 --> 00:24:01,033
will pose much of a threat to 
the F-150 in sales numbers.

427
00:24:01,166 --> 00:24:02,866
Those days are gone.

428
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,466
However, 
they are striving to put Ram

429
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,366
in their rearview mirror.

430
00:24:07,500 --> 00:24:11,433
So, keeping current fans happy, 
while swaying new prospects,

431
00:24:11,566 --> 00:24:14,300
is clearly the priority here.

432
00:24:14,433 --> 00:24:17,566
With a vastly upgraded interior, 
better tech,

433
00:24:17,700 --> 00:24:22,133
and improved style, 
this 2022 Chevrolet Silverado

434
00:24:22,266 --> 00:24:25,233
certainly should do that 
and more.

435
00:24:26,100 --> 00:24:28,033
