STATE FARM IS PROUD TO SUPPORT John: SINCE MOTORWEEK THERE HAVE BEEN NO LESS THAN TOYOTA CAMRY.

AND FOR THE LAST 15 YEARS, IT'S BEEN THE BEST-SELLING CAR BUT CARS IN GENERAL, UTILITIES AS BASIC FAMILY MINDFUL OF THAT, 2018 REDESIGN IS MOST EXCITING BUT WE'VE HEARD THAT ONE BEFORE.

SO, LET'S SEE IF THE NEW CAMRY * THE TOYOTA CAMRY, A FAST FADING BREED, BUT, EVEN WITH SALES SHIFTING WE'RE STILL TALKING ABOUT A YEAR.

SO THE 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY IS FOR TOYOTA.

AND THIS ONE IS ABOUT AS ALL-NEW RIDING ON TOYOTA'S NEW GLOBAL IT FULFILLS THE USUAL LOWER AND WIDER, ITS CENTER OF GRAVITY IS ALSO DRIVING DYNAMICS.

[ENGINE STARTS UP] ENGINE CHOICES START WITH WITH UP TO 28 MORE HORSEPOWER TORQUE IS ALSO, DESPITE THOSE NUMBERS, OF SPORTY TORQUEY PUNCH.

SO, THIS 4-BANGER IS CLEARLY INDEED, RATINGS COME IN AT AN AND 34-COMBINED IN BASE L TRIM.

THE AVAILABLE 3.5 LITER V6 NOW PUTTING OUT 301 HORSEPOWER OUR CHOICE FOR SPIRITED DRIVING.

BUT, BOTH ENGINES 8-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION.

THE CAMRY HYBRID RETURNS WITH A 208 HORSEPOWER COMBINED IT OPERATES VERY SMOOTHLY AND YOU CAN EXPECT UPWARDS BUT, THE BIGGEST NEWS FOR US, THE CLAIMS OF ADDED EXCITEMENT; THE CAMRY'S NEW FULLY NOW INCLUDES, DOUBLE WISHBONE SETUP IN YOU'LL NOTICE IT MOST IN WHICH GETS A MORE AGGRESSIVE COMBINING THE XSE WITH THE V6 THAT PROMISED EXCITEMENT.

SO, IS IT INDEED MORE FUN WELL, YES!

BUT IT TAKES MORE THAN AND HEAVY STEERING FEEL TO MAKE SO IT IS STILL A CAMRY, "STILL APPLIANCE-LIKE," STAINLESS STEEL ONE, WITH THOSE LOOKING FOR THE MORE THE L, LE, OR XLE MODELS.

REGARDLESS OF TRIM, TO THE CAMRY COMFORT THAT ELSEWHERE, THROUGHOUT YOU'LL FIND A FLOWING DESIGN COMPARED TO THE TYPICAL MIDSIZE THOUGH AGAIN, NOT SO FAR AS FOR TOYOTA BUYERS.

LIKEWISE, SEAT FABRICS ARE BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, VERY COMFORTABLE, AND SUPPORTIVE OVER THE LONG CONNECTIVITY IS PROVIDED BY WHICH IS STILL NOT THE MOST HOWEVER, IN ADDITION TO A FULL COLOR HEAD UP DISPLAY A BACKUP CAMERA IS STANDARD.

MORE VITAL FOR FAMILY DUTY, STANDARD INCLUDING RADAR CRUISE IF THERE'S ANY BAD NEWS, SHRINKS JUST A LITTLE FROM BUT THE SPACE REMAINS ESPECIALLY, WITH THE 60/40 FOLDING REAR SEATS ON MOST WHERE THE NEW CAMRY REALLY PEGS IS IN EXTERIOR DESIGN, AGAIN WHICH GET THE MORE AGGRESSIVE A LOT FROM LEXUS.

BOTH HOOD AND ROOFLINE ARE AN WHILE, THE BACK END GETS NEW CAMRY SCRIPTING STRETCHING PRICED VERY COMPETITIVELY, $24,380 FOR AN L, RANGING TO SO, THE QUESTION IS, THE 2018 CAMRY TO STAY ON TOP OF AND AT LEAST TEMPER CURRENT YES, WE THINK THEY HAVE.

IT'S BOTH MORE EXCITING TO SEE EVEN IF THE FORD FUSION SPORT NOTHING REALLY TO WORRY ABOUT.

THE CAMRY HAS ALL OF THE TECH IN TODAY'S MARKET; DRASTICALLY ENOUGH TO SCARE AWAY WITH A NEW HONDA ACCORD AND LET'S HOPE THE NEW CAMRY IS THE A MIDSIZE FAMILY SEDAN SUV-MAD WORLD.

* YOU KNOW YOU REALLY CLOSE OFF YOUR FAVORITE STRETCH AND SEE JUST HOW FAST YOU CAN GO ROAD RALLY DRIVERS DO IT, AND ADMITTEDLY, OUR ZACH MASKELL WANTED TO SEE FROM GOING OVER THE EDGE, MANAGE MAXIMUM SPEEDS, SOMETIMES * Zach Maskell: WITH OVER AND THE WHITE MOUNTAINS THIS SITE IS SUBLIME.

NESTLED IN DALTON, WE'VE GOT MORE THAN ENOUGH ROOM Chris Rennie: AND WELCOME TO TEAM O'NEAL.

Zach: WE'RE DOING DAY ONE, WHERE ROOKIES AND PROS HOW TO BE A RALLY DRIVER.

EUROPE, THE MIDDLE EAST, WHETHER ITS RAIN, SNOW, DAY, RALLYING IS THE ULTIMATE AND LET ME TELL YOU WHAT THESE Chris: YEAH, I CRASHED A LOT OF CARS BEFORE Zach: A RALLY PUTS STREET LEGAL WITH ONE DRIVER, READING OUT DESCRIPTIONS OF Karl Stone: BY DAY FIVE, YOU USING THE INTERCOM SYSTEMS, IN A TRUE RALLY STAGE.

Zach: OWNER, TIM O'NEAL, IS A 5-TIME NORTH AMERICAN RALLY BORN AND RAISED HERE, A LOOSE SURFACE DRIVER TRAINING TRAVIS PASTRANA, KEN BLOCK, EVEN VISIT, Karl: WE'RE LOCATED ON ALMOST NEARLY 6-MILES OF ROADS, TRAINING FACILITIES THAT HAVE SLALOM COURSES.

Zach: FOR OUR FIRST DAY FORD FIESTAS WHICH ARE THEY DO HOWEVER HAVE A THIRD YES, THAT THING CALLED SO WHAT WE'RE LEARNING TODAY WE'RE GOING TO LEARN HOW TO AND GET THE WEIGHT TO THE FRONT Chris Rennie: THEN GENTLY DRAG THE BRAKES.

AND THAT SHOULD GET THE CAR AND HOLD THAT BRAKE PRESSURE AND THE CAR'S POINTED WHERE AS SOON AS YOU GET TO THAT, YOU AND THEN, YOU RELEASE THE BRAKE, Zach: THAT WHOLE TIME, ON THE GAS.

THEY DO 4X4s, DRIFTING, AND MORE.

THESE INSTRUCTORS CAN TAKE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION, A FULL TRACK WITHIN DAYS.

Peter McDonald: HE JUST GOT BUT HE'S BEEN A CAR NUT DRIVING UP HERE YESTERDAY, DRIVING ON... WE WENT FROM DRY PAVEMENT, AND HE LOOKS AT ME AND SAYS, "DAD THIS IS SO MUCH Chris: STAY IN THE GAS, OPTIMISM RIGHT THERE.

Zach: I WAS TRYING NOT TO HIT Chris: DON'T LOOK AT IT, REMEMBER THAT.

Allen Welch: SO HERE, AND THEN, WE ALSO TEACH, THE ASSESSMENT OF WHAT WE TALK ABOUT GRIP.

WE TALK ABOUT YOU KNOW, "MAYBE."

YOU COME INTO THE CORNER, EVERY TIME?

MAYBE.

Zach: CONDITIONS AND GRIP PROFESSIONAL DRIVERS ARE ABLE TO PREPARE FOR THE TURN AHEAD.

DRIVING ON LOOSE TERRAIN MEANS TO LEARN.

IT HELPED HAVING NUMEROUS THE SAME THING, EVENTUALLY, I STARTED TO GET IT.

Chris: CENTER FAST.

THAT'S THE OTHER PIECE, SLIDES NOW WITH THE BRAKE Zach: I'M STARTING TO FEEL GOOD.

Chris Komar: THEY'RE LESS LIKELY TO WRECK THERE'S A LOT OF THAT WE TEACH THEM THAT ON THEIR OWN AND THEY'D END UP OR BREAKING A CAR, Zach: I LEFT UNDERSTANDING AVOID AN ACCIDENT, AND HOW TO I MAY NEVER GO RALLYING, IS STILL INVALUABLE, A SAFER DRIVER EVERY DAY.

* [CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING] Lauren Morrison: CHINA'S UNITED STATES ARE COMING OUR SPY PHOTOGRAPHER CAUGHT TESTING IN COLORADO.

IT LOOKS SIMILAR TO THE CONCEPT A FEW MONTHS AGO.

CHINA'S GEELY OWNS THE BRAND, SO THE 03 IS TO BE BASED ARCHITECTURE AS THE FORTHCOMING POWERTRAINS WILL ALSO FOLLOW FROM WHAT WE'VE SEEN, 01 COMPACT CROSSOVER WHICH COULD NEXT YEAR.

BOTH VEHICLES COULD BE IN John: THERE'S A LOT TO BE SO, PAT GOSS HAS SOME TIPS WHEN ONLY TWO WHEELS COUNT.

Pat Goss: TAKING A ROAD TRIP A LOT OF FUN, BECAUSE THEY THINK, "WELL, I CAN'T GET ENOUGH STUFF WELL, HERE TO DISPEL THAT MYTH ROMMELL HARLEY DAVIDSON WELCOME BACK TO GOSS' GARAGE.

Lindon Able: THANKS FOR Pat: OKAY, THIS MYTH ABOUT ON MY MOTORCYCLE.

Lindon: WELL, I THINK PEOPLE TOO MUCH STUFF RIGHT?

SO IT IS A MYTH.

THERE'S AN OLD ADAGE THAT SAYS, EVERYTHING THAT YOU WANT, THAT YOU NEED."

AND I THINK THIS IS ESPECIALLY A ROAD TRIP.

SO YOU NEED THREE CATEGORIES CLOTHING, OBVIOUSLY, BUT YOU JUST NEED FEWER ITEMS THERE'S WASHING MACHINES OUT A FRESH PAIR OF JEANS EVERY DAY SO PACK LESS, YOU NEED RIDING GEAR SO IN THE WITH RIDING GEAR YOU WANT TO BE OUT ON THE ROAD.

SO YOU'LL NEED A RAIN SUIT OR YOU'LL NEED A VENTED JACKET WHEN IT'S HOT, WHEN IT GETS COLD OUTSIDE, THAT STUFF WITHIN YOUR AND THEN, THERE'S OTHER THINGS, EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT CONFIDENT YOU MIGHT RUN INTO A FRIENDLY FIX SOMETHING IF YOU HAVE A FIRST AID KIT.

YOU KNOW, SOMETHING TO TAKE CARE OF AND THINGS LIKE THAT WHEN YOU'RE A QUARTER OF OIL WITH A PAPER A MESS IF YOU NEED TO ADD THINGS LIKE THAT.

AND YOU CAN CARRY ALL OF THOSE THAN YOU THINK.

Pat: OKAY.

BUT NOW, NOT EVERY AND HAS THE SADDLE BAGS... Lindon: RIGHT, RIGHT.

Pat: SO YOU HAVE A SOLUTION Lindon: WELL, THERE'S LOTS THIS IS ONE, BUT WITH A BACK REST OR A BACK REST ON YOUR BACK SEAT OF LUGGAGE THAT CAN CARRY THINGS A LOT OF EXTRA GEAR WHETHER Pat: OKAY, NOW I NOTICED WE HAVE Lindon: YEAH, SO WHEN I CAME AND MORE FIT INSIDE MY SADDLE PEOPLE THINK IT'S SURPRISING Pat: SO IT'S NOT AS DIFFICULT Lindon: NO, AND IT'S EPIC, AND YOU WANT TO GO SEE WRINGING YOUR HANDS OVER GET OUT AND RIDE IT'LL BE Pat: OKAY.

LINDON, THANK YOU.

AND IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION DROP ME A LINE RIGHT HERE AT John: WE DON'T HAVE TO LOOK TOO NEW TO DRIVE, FOR THIS WEEK'S QUICKSPIN.

* WHILE TOYOTA'S EIGHTH GENERATION A GASOLINE-ELECTRIC HYBRID FORD CONTINUES TO UPDATE THEIR 2017 FUSION HYBRID AS WELL.

THIS YEAR THE FRONT FASCIA AND TO MAKE A CRISPER IMPRESSION IN THE HYBRID, JOINS FORCES WITH AN 88 KW A 1.4 KWH LITHIUM-ION BATTERY.

COMBINED THEY CREATE AND WHEN IT'S TIME FOR IT STARTS STIRRING WITH THEY WORK WITH A NEARLY CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE ORDERS FROM A CONSOLE STEERING PROVED VERY DIRECT WHEN Greg Carloss: THE HYBRID SYSTEM IT SHIFTS BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN SEAMLESSLY.

THAT'S REALLY INDICATIVE OF JUST RIGHT NOW.

MOST MANUFACTURERS HAVE THE HYBRID SYSTEM.

FORD IS NO EXCEPTION HERE, John: THE TOP TIER PLATINUM COMFORTABLE SEATS AND A LOT OF CRAFTED.

THERE ARE SOME COMPROMISES THAT DUE TO PLACEMENT OF THE BATTERY TRUNK SPACE IS DOWN BY AND THE FUEL TANK SHRINKS BY COMPARED TO THE GAS-ONLY FUSION.

THE HYBRID ALSO TIPS THE SCALES BUT NONE OF THAT TAKES AWAY EXPERIENCE OF THIS STYLISH THE 2017 FORD FUSION HYBRID WITH PRICES STARTING JUST OVER FROM A NAME STILL SYNONYMOUS COMES THE 2017 PORSCHE WE ADMIT WE WERE AMONG THOSE CAYENNE SUV DEBUTED IN 2003, PROVES THERE'S ROOM FOR EFFICIENCY IN AN AND IT'S QUICK WITH A BIG HIT THAT COMES FROM A ROBUST 3.0 LITER V6 ENGINE PARTNERED A COMBINED 416 HORSEPOWER.

THE SWITCH BETWEEN POWERS MAKING ACCELERATION AN 8-SPEED TIPTRONIC GEARBOX THAT ALSO COME ON FAST.

LIKE MOST EURO PLUG-INS, ITS PROVIDES ELECTRIC MOSTLY FOR TOTAL DRIVING RANGE IS OVERALL, DRIVING DYNAMICS ARE LITTLE OVER OR UNDER STEER.

ACTIVE SUSPENSION MANAGEMENT AS WELL.

INSIDE, IT'S ROOMY WITH THE SEATS ARE VERY COMFORTABLE YOU'RE RIDING HIGH ABOVE THE BEFORE YOU GET IN, THE CABIN'S TEMPERATURE TO YOUR LEAVING MORE POWER FOR THE 2017 PORSCHE CAYENNE S STARTING JUST UNDER $80,000.

AND WE'LL HAVE MORE QUICKSPIN'S MASERATI HAS MADE SOME AMAZING BUT OVER THE LAST DECADE OR SO, AN IDENTITY CRISIS, EXACTLY WHERE THEY FIT IN THIS WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE THEY FINALLY AND THE FIRST STEP IS BY SHRINKING THE PRODUCT, AIMED SQUARELY AT THE LIKES OF SO LET'S SEE IF THE GHIBLI * THE 2014 MASERATI GHIBLI WAS EXPANDING THE MASERATI BRAND.

THE SECOND STEP IS THE AND WHILE THAT 5-DOOR UTILITY THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP, WITHOUT THIS 4-DOOR WHICH ITSELF GETS REFRESHED BASED ON THE LARGER IT'S ABOUT 7-INCHES SHORTER AND LESS THAN A FOOT SHORTER THE GHIBLI IS STUNNING TO SEE, BEAUTIFUL, BUT YOU SURE KNOW WHEN YOU SEE IT COMING DOWN STILL IT'S HARD TO IGNORE THAT RIGHT DOWN TO THE FENDER UNDER THE HOOD IN THIS S Q4 WHILE, DESIGNED BY MASERATI, IT'S ASSEMBLED BY PARTNER THERE'S A LOVELY GROWL ON QUICKLY SETTLING INTO THIS SWEET SLEDGEHAMMER FROM AND 406 POUND-FEET OF TORQUE.

BASE GHIBLI'S SPORT A DETUNED A BOOST IN HORSEPOWER FOR TRANSMISSIONS?

AN AUTOMATIC WITH 8-GEARS, REAR-WHEEL DRIVE, THE E-SHIFTER WORKS OKAY, AND THANKFULLY, UNTIL IT'S IN PARK.

THERE'S A DEFINITE ITALIAN FLAIR THOUGH LESS EXOTIC AND MORE IN SAY, A FERRARI.

CRAFTSMANSHIP IS VERY THINGS ARE VERY WELL AND WITHOUT ANY ROUGH EDGES.

NOT SOMETHING WE CAN USUALLY BUT THERE ARE A FEW LIKE FIAT-CHRYSLER SWITCHGEAR UCONNECT INFOTAINMENT, SINCE IT WORKS SO WELL.

FOR '17, IT ADDED A NEW IN ORDER TO BE MORE CONSISTENT FRONT SEATS ARE VERY WITH JUST A BIT OF A SPORTY REAR SEATS ARE A LITTLE HARD TO BUT ONCE YOU'RE SETTLED, THEY'RE THERE'S EVEN A HUGE POWER DECK LID AND HANDS FREE ON THE STREET, AND DESPITE A CURB WEIGHT OF IS IMPRESSIVELY AGILE.

RIDE IS MOSTLY COMPLIANT, RIGHT THERE WITH OTHER BUT WE DID GET A FEW OVER LARGER BUMPS.

THE HANDLING BENEFITS OF WEREN'T READILY OBVIOUS TO US WHERE WE FELT THE GHIBLI'S THERE IS SOME EXPECTED BUT ALSO, A CRABBING FEELING STEERING EFFORT IS LIGHT AND GETS VERY HEAVY AS THE PACE THE AWD SYSTEM IS CLEARLY TUNED THAN ADDING HIGH PERFORMANCE, THE RESULT IS A VERY THAT MIGHT EVEN MAKE INSTEAD OF AVOIDING IT.

CERTAINLY, NOT WHAT YOU'D WANT THE S Q4 HOPS OFF THE LINE ONLY TO HESITATE BRIEFLY AS AT WHICH TIME THEY UNLEASH PROPELLING YOU TO 60 IN JUST FROM THERE, THERE'S ALL KINDS OF AS THE TRANS RIPS THROUGH UNTIL THE QUARTER MILE ENDS AT 105 MILES PER HOUR.

GHIBLI PRICING STARTS AT AND YOU'LL PAY JUST 8-GRAND MORE THOUGH YOU CAN APPROACH IT SAYS A LOT ABOUT A BRAND WHEN AND INSTANTLY DOUBLE THEIR THE 2017 MASERATI GHIBLI IS RATHER, PRIMARILY FOR THOSE IN THEIR LUXURY-PERFORMANCE INDEED, WE WERE FAVORABLY AND THINK IT PROVES THAT OF ITS OWN ROAD AHEAD.

WELL, THAT'S OUR SHOW, NOW, FOR MORE MOTORWEEK ; PODCASTS, CRUISE ON OVER TO AND I HOPE YOU'LL JOIN US WHEN WE SLIP INTO THE ALL NEW AND RIDE A NEW BULL IN UNTIL NEXT TIME, I'M JOHN DAVIS, WE'LL SEE YOU RIGHT HERE ON Announcer: TO LEARN MORE ABOUT TELEVISION'S ORIGINAL AUTOMOTIVE PBS.ORG/MOTORWEEK.
