STATE FARM IS PROUD TO SUPPORT John: YOU COULD ARGUE THAT IN JUMP STARTING THE WHOLE WITH THEIR FUNKY 2011 JUKE.

WELL, AS THEY'RE DOUBLING DOWN ON THE ROGUE SPORT.

SO LET'S SEE IF THIS ONE JIVES * THE 2017 NISSAN ROGUE SPORT BUT NISSAN KNOWS THERE ARE THE WILDLY POPULAR SUBCOMPACT BUT, FIRST THINGS FIRST.

THE ROGUE SPORT IS NOT A SMALLER NISSAN ROGUE CROSSOVER.

IT'S ACTUALLY, IT'S OUR VERSION OF QUITE POPULAR ELSEWHERE, THE IMPORTED ROUGE SPORT IS COMPARED TO THE ROUGE, ITS SHORTER STATURE, COMBINED IN MANY OF ITS MARKETS, THAN THE U.S. MADE ROGUE.

ON THE OTHER HAND, SCOOTING AROUND CROWDED CITIES THAT'S WHERE IT SHINES MOST, SPORT IN THE NAME MOSTLY MEANS AS THERE'S NOT A STRONG AMOUNT IN THE ROGUE SPORT.

STILL, FOR A UTE OF THIS STATURE.

WHILE, DIFFERENT IN DESIGN, A STRONG RESEMBLANCE TO FROM THE AGGRESSIVE V-MOTION TO THE SWOOPY HATCHBACK-LIKE THE BODY SIDES ARE MORE DYNAMIC, STANDARD WHEELS ARE 16s, SURPRISINGLY, BUILD QUALITY AS THE JUKE, AND THE MATERIALS LOOK BORDERLINE LUXURY.

BUT HAVING SAID THAT, FAR MORE PRACTICAL THAN WITH MUCH ROOMIER SEATING, FOR CARGO; 19.9 CUBIC-FEET AND 53.3 WITH THEM FOLDED.

GAUGES ARE SIMPLE AND CLEAR, AND ALL BUT BASE TRIM INFOTAINMENT WORKS QUITE EASY-TO-MASTER CONTROL LAYOUT WHICH CAN INCLUDE NAVIGATION.

A BASIC BACKUP CAMERA WITH NISSAN'S AROUND VIEW IN ADDITION TO BEING FOR SUCH A SMALL PACKAGE, BOTH IN FRONT AND REAR [ENGINE STARTS UP] UNLIKE MANY IN THE SEGMENT, TURBO-POWERED JUKE, TRIED AND TRUE, A FAMILIAR 2.0 LITER I4 OUTPUTS AND 147 POUND-FEET OF TORQUE, ONLY ADDS TO ITS SLUGGISH FEEL.

FRONT-WHEEL DRIVE IS STANDARD, AVAILABLE ON ALL TRIM LEVELS.

INDEED, ANEMIC OUTPUT AND CVT WISH LIST.

OUR FULL THROTTLE 0-60 RUN THE QUARTER MILE, 17.6 AT JUST ENGINE NOISE WAS PRONOUNCED, A 2-STROKE RUNNING ON RED BULL.

THE CVT DOES GO THROUGH WHICH IN DAILY DRIVING OUR TRACK IMPRESSIONS THE HANDLING COURSE.

THROUGH THE TIGHT GATES, AND A VERY CONFIDENT FEEL.

STEERING WAS A TOUCH SLOW BUT THE ROGUE SPORT DOES WHAT THAT'S ALL THANKS TO WITH STABILIZER BARS AS WELL AS NISSAN'S ACTIVE SELECTIVE BRAKING TO HELP WE HAD NO ISSUES WITH STOPS FROM 60 AVERAGED JUST FIRM PEDAL TRAVEL, BASIC SAFETY SYSTEMS ARE BUT YOU'LL HAVE TO STEP UP TO TO ADD FORWARD EMERGENCY AND TOP SL IF YOU WANT GOVERNMENT FUEL ECONOMY RATINGS 24-CITY, 30-HIGHWAY, FOR A SLIGHTLY BETTER THAN 12.2 BARRELS OF YEARLY OIL 5.4 TONS OF CO2 EMISSIONS.

PRICING STARTS AT $22,380; BUT AROUND 3-GRAND LESS THAN ALL-WHEEL DRIVE ADDS AS HOT AS THE ROGUE OUTSELLING EVEN THE ALTIMA TO NUMBER ONE SELLING VEHICLE; IS A NO BRAINER, STILL IN THE LINEUP.

THE 2017 NISSAN ROGUE SPORT EFFORT, BUT ONE THAT'S BIG WE THINK IT'S RIGHT * WHILE, THERE HAS BEEN A "CB" IN SEEMINGLY NON-STOP SINCE 1959, THAT SET THE STAGE FOR WHAT AS THE "UNIVERSAL JAPANESE 4-CYLINDER ENGINE, STEEL CRADLE FRAME, WELL, IS OUR TWO WHEELIN'S SO LET'S RIDE ALONG IS GOING STRONG.

* Brian Robinson: BUT ONE THEME THAT ALWAYS OR A MODERN INTERPRETATION UNLESS OF COURSE, THE DESIGN MUCH LIKE THIS HONDA CB1100 EX.

THIS IS ACTUALLY, THE CB1100 HERE IN AMERICA, THIS RETRO-STYLED STANDARD BUT, IT TURNS OUT IT WAS AND NOT MODERN ENOUGH TO ATTRACT SO HONDA STOPPED IMPORTING IT WELL NOW, THERE'S AN UPDATED AND HONDA HOPES THIS ONE HAS SOMETHING NEW.

NOW, SOME MAY NOT BE FANS OF BLENDING PAINTED, CHROMED, BUT TO ME, IT HELPS IT LOOK YOU WOULD HAVE SEEN IN THE '70s, JUST ROLLED OUT OF A HONDA AND INDEED I DID GET QUITE MY "NICE OLD BIKE" FROM CASUAL IF THEY WOULD HAVE LOOKED CLOSER AND CLEVERLY DISGUISED THEY WOULD HAVE REALIZED THAT OTHER MODERN CONSIDERATIONS INCLUDE A NEW 4.4 GALLON A SEAMLESS DESIGN, BUT TO MAKE THE FLAVOR 18-INCH SPOKE WHEELS REPLACE THE AN INLINE-4 STRETCHING ACROSS A CB HALLMARK SINCE 1969, IT'S AIR-COOLED, WITH A SIZABLE TWIN MUFFLERS ARE SMALLER THAN AND HAVE BEEN RE-TUNED TO ALLOW THE SOUND THEY EMIT IS STILL THE ENGINE MAKES REALLY BUT DELIVERS IT MORE LIKE UNLESS YOU FIND YOURSELF WHERE IT GETS A LITTLE MORE IT ALSO GETS, UPPER REGISTERS OF THE TACH, TO RUN IT UP THERE IF YOU DON'T TYPICAL 6-SPEED TRANSMISSION A NEW ASSIST SLIPPER CLUTCH THAT SMOOTH'S OUT DOWNSHIFTS.

THE EX LOOKS SMALL AND RIDES THOUGH, IT STAYS PRETTY SOLID NOT ANYWHERE NEAR THE FLEX IN THE '70s, OF NOSE DIVE ON BRAKING.

ALL DAY RIDES, NOT A PROBLEM; OFFERING GOOD COMFORT, TWIN REAR SHOCKS SOAKING UP AND A CLASSIC RELAXED RIDING GAUGES ARE CLEAR AND EASY TO NESTLED IN BETWEEN; AND NOW TRIMMED IN CHROME.

PRICING STARTS AT $12,199, THE MANY MOTORCYCLE BARGAINS BUT THAT'S CERTAINLY NOT TOO BAD FOR A DAILY TRIP DOWN AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHERE WITH THE 2017 CB1100 EX.

John: YOUR TIRES REALLY TAKE SO PAT GOSS HAS SOME ADVICE ON SO THEY WON'T TIRE OUT TOO SOON.

Pat Goss: BACK IN THE DAY SOMETHING CALLED THEY WERE THESE WIRE THINGS THAT ABOUT HERE, AND WHEN YOU GOT CLOSE TO THEY MADE A LOUD SCRATCHING AND YOU KNEW YOU WERE WELL THIS DRIVER, TO USE A TIRE AS A MODERN PRETTY MUCH DESTROYED THE TIRE.

AND SPEAKING OF TIRE DESTROYERS, NUMBER ONE RIGHT HERE.

THIS TIRE HAS OBVIOUSLY COULD BE A PIECE OF WOOD, IN THE HIGHWAY, IT WAS STRAIGHT ACROSS AND IT AND SPEAKING OF DESTROYING, A FEW TIRES AT THE TRACK AND THIS IS AN EXAMPLE.

THIS IS EXTREME SERVICE IS JUST LOTS OF HARD CORNERING, WELL, YOU MIGHT EXPECT TO SEE ON YOUR TIRES.

NOW, YOU LOOK AT A TIRE, AND EVENLY, BUT YOU COMPARE AND YOU SEE ALL THESE LITTLE ALL OF THOSE CUTS AND EVERYTHING ARE TO HELP THE TIRE GAIN HELP DISSIPATE WATER ONCE THEY'RE GONE, WHERE THE TIRE LOSES A LOT OF AND ITS ABILITY TO GET RID OF SO, THIS TIRE IS DEFINITELY MOST IMPORTANT THING AND THAT IS USING A TIRE EVEN THOUGH YOUR CAR HAS TPMS THE ONE WITH JUST THE LIGHT... NOT THE DIRECT READ OUT, TELL YOU WHEN SOMETHING IS NOT TELL YOU WHAT IS BEST, OR SAFETY, OR ANYTHING ELSE.

ALRIGHT...NOW, HERE, WE HAVE REMNANTS OF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE SEE EVEN SHORT DISTANCES SO, IF YOU HAVE A TIRE ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT THEY SEE IF THERE'S ANY OF THIS AND IF THERE IS THE TIRE NEEDS AND IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION, DROP ME A LINE, RIGHT HERE, * John: MUCH LIKE EMPEROR NERO HAD OUR 2017 KIA NIRO WITH AN "I" SPENDING TOO MUCH MONEY ON FUEL.

AND IT'S OFF TO A REALLY AFTER 3-MONTHS AND 6,300 MILES, 44.6 MILES PER GALLON; ITS COMBINED RATING OF 43.

WE'RE TAKING QUITE A SHINE TO FINDING IT HIGHLY MANEUVERABLE, WITH VERY NATURAL OPERATION ELECTRIC ASSIST HELPS THE SMALL THOUGH COMBINED OUTPUT WE LOVE THE DCT TRANSMISSION, WE'LL TAKE IT OVER A CVT KIA CONSIDERS THE FRONT-DRIVE BUT THAT'S MOSTLY ABOUT SINCE ALL-WHEEL DRIVE ISN'T SO WE'LL SEE HOW IT FAIRS WE'LL SEE HOW OUR ON OUR NEXT MOTORWEEK THE FUTURE IS ARRIVING VERY YOLANDA VAZQUEZ HAS THE SHOWY DETAILS IN THIS WEEK'S Yolanda Vazquez: OUR ATTENTION WAS DRAWN THE 2017 AUTOMOBILITY LA.

OR, ONCE YOU GET PAST ALL THE 2017 LA AUTO SHOW!

MORE PORSCHES ARE SOLD IN SO FITTINGLY, THEY INTRODUCED A NEW AND THE 718 CAYMAN GTS.

AMONG THE HIGHLIGHTS, LA WAS ALSO, FOR THE 370 HORSEPOWER, THE "T" IS FOR "TOURING," THE 911 CARRERA LINEUP.

PORSCHE ALSO SHOWED, PANAMERA TURBO S E-HYBRID SPORT AND THE 3RD GENERATION CHEVROLET WOWED THE TOP-DOWN THE 755 HORSEPOWER BMW'S ELECTRIC PERFORMANCE TOOK WITH THE WORLD PREMIERE OF MERCEDES-BENZ SHOWED UP WITH POSING FOR ITS WORLD DEBUT.

AND THE WRAPS CAME OFF LAND ROVER TOOK LUXURY REVEALING THE RANGE ROVER INFINITI ARRIVED WITH THE FIRST PRODUCTION VARIABLE AND THE NEW LEXUS RX350L ADDS AT LINCOLN, INCLUDING A NEW NAME: NAUTILUS.

VOLVO ARRIVED WITH THE DOWNSIZED THE BIGGEST SUV MAKING ITS DEBUT WAS THE 8-PASSENGER THE 2018 JEEP WRANGLER ADDS EVEN TOYOTA IS ALSO, IN A SMALL UTE WITH THE FUTURE A SPORTY NAME, BUT THIS TIME INTRODUCING, THE 2018 THE SUBCOMPACT-UTE SEGMENT THE NISSAN KICKS, COMING TO THE U.S.

WHILE ONE OF THE KIA SORENTO GETS AND THAT'S THE LATEST FROM FOR THIS WEEK'S MOTORNEWS.

John: AND SEEN THE HYPE VIDEOS.

THE DODGE CHALLENGER SRT DEMON, WITH ITS 840 HORSEPOWER HELLCAT IN 9.65 SECONDS, BUT AS WITH MOST CARS, THERE'S SO COME ALONG TO THE DARK SIDE AS WE DO SOME DOWN AND DIRTY [ENGINE REVVING] * THE 2018 DODGE CHALLENGER THAT YOU THINK IS ONLY POSSIBLE FORTUNATELY, THE HARD WORKING AND RACING TECHNOLOGY DIVISION THEY ACTUALLY, MADE THIS IT SEEMS IMPLAUSIBLE WITH BUT THE DEMON WAS ACTUALLY ENGINEERS GOING CLOAK AND EVEN WORKING ON THEIR UNTIL THEY KNEW, THE BRASS WOULD DEVOUR.

WE ALL KNOW THE BASICS FOR MORE AND MORE FUEL TO REACT WITH IT, 6.2 LITER HEMI V8 UP TO AND 770 POUND-FEET OF TORQUE A FEW MORE REVS, ON PREMIUM GRADE GAS, SUCH OUTPUT ALSO DEMANDED TO 14.5 PSI TO SHOVE SAID AIR ALONG THE WAY IT PASSES THROUGH WHICH USES THE A/Cs REFRIGERANT TO REDUCE AIR TEMPS BY UP TO ON THE OTHER END OF THE ENGINE, THAT CARRIES THE POWER TO ADDED A PRODUCTION CAR NAILING KILLER LAUNCHES, AND A LINE LOCK FOR [ENGINE REVVING] NOW, WITH ALL OF THAT IN MIND, IS AT THE DRAGSTRIP, THE DEMON AND BY THAT WE MEAN DOING IN A CAR PROPERLY SET UP FOR IS SIMILAR TO HITTING A ROAD RACE CAR.

THE DEMON LAUNCHES BUT IF YOU HIT IT JUST RIGHT, GETS PUSHED TO THE REAR, AND TAKES OFF; DOWN THE TRACK WITH SURE, YOU CAN GET SOME BUT USING DRAG MODE WITH MAKES LAUNCHING SUPER SIMPLE.

ALL DEMONS COME EQUIPPED WITH THE TORQUEFLITE 8HP90 8-SPEED WHICH FIRED THROUGH GEARS AS WE MADE PASSES CONTINUOUSLY WITHOUT A HICCUP.

SO, DON'T THINK OF THIS AS A COUPLE RUNS AND GET SOME CRAZY [ENGINE REVVING] WITH TEMPS IN THE NINETIES WE COULDN'T MATCH DODGE'S BUT WE RAN CONSISTENT LOW 10s, THE CLAIMED 2.3 SECONDS TO 60.

OTHER THINGS THAT SET STANDARD HELLCAT FARE, AND WIDE BODY STYLING THAT ADDS THE STANDARD 315/40/18 WHEELS FOR THOSE FRONT SKINNIES ARE PART OF THE $1 DEMON CRATE UNIQUE TOUCHES INSIDE, AND DEMON LOGO ON THE SEATS.

A SPEEDLOGIX 4-POINT HARNESS AS IS THE FRONT PASSENGER THOUGH, DODGE WILL THROW IT EVEN THOUGH EVERY UPDATE DRAG RACING IN MIND, IT REMAINS A VERY STREET-ABLE AND AS A VALUE ADDED BONUS, OF THE DRAG RADIALS, BETTER THAN THE HELLCAT.

NOW, YOU WOULD THINK THAT'D BE BUT DODGE HAS GOT SOMETHING ELSE IT'S THE DURANGO SRT.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT, DODGE HAS APPLIED THE SRT FOR POWER, WHICH SUPPLIES 475 HORSEPOWER THE ALL-WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM, SUSPENSION, ALL GET UPGRADED TO HANDLE IT.

THIS DURANGO WILL HIT 60 AND CLEAR THE QUARTER BUT EVEN MORE IMPRESSIVE, THE FUNCTIONALITY THAT YOU BUY AS THIS DURANGO WILL TOW THERE'S A BODY KIT OF COURSE, TREATMENTS AS WELL.

THE 2018 DODGE DURANGO SRT ROLLS BUT, BACK TO THE DEMON.

FOR A TURNKEY 9-SECOND DRAG CAR, BASE PRICING OF $86,090 THAT'S LESS THAN WHAT SOME OF WERE GOING FOR.

THREE THOUSAND OF THEM WILL BE THE 2018 DODGE CHALLENGER A HELLISHLY FAST CAR, "GOD BLESS THE U.S.A.," HAVE COMBINED TO CREATE ONE OF LAY DOWN RUBBER ON AMERICA'S WELL, THAT'S OUR SHOW, NOW, FOR MORE MOTORWEEK ; AND EVEN COMPLETE EPISODES, TO PBS.ORG/MOTORWEEK.
