ROCKAUTO HAS AUTO PARTS FROM HUNDREDS OF MANUFACTURERS, OFFERING A VARIETY OF BRANDS, PRICES AND SPECIFICATIONS.

ROCKAUTO.COM, ALL THE PARTS YOUR CAR WILL EVER NEED.

John: "WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD THEY NEED THAT?"

MAY BE YOUR FIRST QUESTION WHEN YOU HEAR THAT MAZDA IS ADDING YET...ANOTHER SMALL CROSSOVER INTO THEIR LINEUP, THE CX-30.

AND WHY WOULD THEY MESS UP A SEEMINGLY LOGICAL NAMING SEQUENCE OF CX-3s, 5s, AND 9s?

MAY BE YOUR NEXT ONE.

WELL, THOSE ARE SOME GREAT QUESTIONS; LET'S SEE IF WE CAN PROVIDE SOME GREAT ANSWERS.

* THESE DAYS, IF YOU STILL HAVE A SEDAN IN YOUR LINEUP, THERE'D BETTER BE AN SUV BASED ON THE SAME PLATFORM.

AND IF YOU CAN GET TWO SUVs ON THAT PLATFORM, WELL, ALL THE BETTER.

AND THAT'S WHERE THIS ALL-NEW 2020 MAZDA CX-30 COMES IN; WEDGED IN THE LINEUP BETWEEN THE CX-3 AND ITS LARGER ENGINEERING COUSIN CX-5.

I GUESS CALLING IT A CX-4 WOULD HAVE BEEN TOO EASY.

OR IS IT JUST TEN TIMES BETTER THAN THE CX-3?

THE MAZDA3 HAS ALWAYS BEEN A FAVORITE HERE AT MOTORWEEK , SO HAVING ANOTHER CROSSOVER SHARING ITS BONES IS CERTAINLY NOT A BAD THING.

AND THE ENGINE IS THE SAME SKYACTIV-G 2.5 LITER I4 FOUND IN BOTH THE MAZDA3 AND CX-5.

NOW, MAZDA CLAIMS IT HAS BEEN TUNED SPECIFICALLY FOR THE CX-30, BUT WITH THE SAME 186 HORSEPOWER AND 186 POUND-FEET OF TORQUE, THE RETUNING MUST BE VERY MINIMAL; REGARDLESS, THOSE NUMBERS ARE VERY STOUT FOR THE SEGMENT.

PREMIUM TRIM ADDS CYLINDER DEACTIVATION FOR IMPROVED FUEL ECONOMY.

A 6-SPEED AUTO HANDLES TRANSMISSION DUTY, WITH FRONT-WHEEL-DRIVE STANDARD, AND ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE AVAILABLE.

OUR AWD TESTER FELT QUITE PEPPY ON THE STREET, WITH SMOOTH STEERING, AND BETTER THAN TYPICAL MAZDA RIDE QUALITY.

THINGS ARE CERTAINLY COZY INSIDE, BUT NOT TIGHT; AND THE CLEAN DESIGN DEFINITELY HAS A NEAR LUXURY FEEL IN OUR PREMIUM PACKAGED TEST CAR.

ALL TRIMS GET A DASH-TOP 8.8 INCH SCREEN FOR MAZDA CONNECT INFOTAINMENT; CONTROLLED BY THE TYPICAL CONSOLE-MOUNTED CONTROLLER.

A MULTI-FUNCTION KNOB FOR THE RADIO IS ALSO ON THE CONSOLE, WHILE HVAC CONTROLS ARE INTEGRATED INTO THE SLENDER DASH.

EVERYTHING IS WITHIN EASY REACH, AND IF YOU'RE ALREADY USED TO MAZDA'S WAY OF DOING THINGS, YOU'LL FEEL RIGHT AT HOME.

ONE SIDE NOTE, IF YOU'RE INTO DOOR RATTLING BASS; YOU'LL BE DISAPPOINTED, AS MAZDA ACTUALLY MOUNTED THE WOOFERS IN THE BODY OF THE CAR TO PREVENT JUST THAT.

NOW, FRONT SEATS ARE FIRM TO PUT IT MILDLY; SO THE CX-5 IS COMFIER FOR LONG TRIPS.

BUT AROUND TOWN, THE CX-30 SHINES.

REAR SEAT ROOM IS MARGINAL FOR ADULTS, BUT ABOUT PAR FOR A SUBCOMPACT; AND JUST A TINY BIT MORE THAN THE MAZDA3 HATCHBACK.

UNLIKE THE CX-3, THE CX-30 FEELS LIKE A REAL UTILITY WHEN IT COMES TIME TO THROW STUFF INTO THE CARGO HOLD.

ALSO, ITS 20.2 CUBIC-FEET OF SPACE IS ABOUT TWO-THIRDS OF THE CX-5s.

SPLIT FOLDING SEATBACKS ARE STANDARD.

AS FOR QUARTER MILE SPRINTS, THERE'S SOME DECENT POWER FOR GETTING OFF THE LINE, BUT NO BIG HITS OR SURGES THAT YOU MIGHT GET WITH A SMALLER TURBO.

JUST A SLOW AND STEADY BUILD AS YOU WORK YOUR WAY TO 60 IN 8.0 SECONDS FLAT.

THINGS ARE FAIRLY QUIET INSIDE, AND THE ENGINE NOISE THAT YOU DO HEAR IS RELATIVELY PLEASANT.

SHIFTS FROM THE 6-SPEED AUTO ARE VERY SMOOTH; AND THE QUARTER MILE TOOK US 16.0 SECONDS TO COMPLETE AT 87 MILES PER HOUR.

PROVIDED WE WEREN'T TOO AGGRESSIVE WITH INPUTS, THERE WAS PLENTY OF FUN TO BE HAD THROUGH OUR CONE COURSE, BUT TRACTION CONTROL CAN END THE PARTY QUICKLY.

STILL, MAZDA PRIDES ITSELF ON DELIVERING AN ENTERTAINING AND SPORTING DRIVING EXPERIENCE THROUGHOUT THEIR LINEUP, AND THE CX-30 WAS AS ENJOYABLE AS WE EXPECTED.

SPORT MODE JUST SEEMS TO LET YOU REV THE ENGINE HIGHER, AS THERE ARE NO ACTIVE SUSPENSION ELEMENTS, BUT THERE IS G-VECTORING CONTROL PLUS, WHICH IS MAZDA'S FANCY NAME FOR HANDLING ASSIST BY WAY OF SELECTIVE BRAKING.

AVERAGE STRAIGHT-LINE BRAKING DISTANCE FROM 60 WAS JUST 98 FEET; FEELING VERY STABLE THROUGHOUT, WITH SMOOTH AND STRAIGHT STOPS, AND NO FADE TO SPEAK OF.

MAZDA'S KODO DESIGN THEME WILL PROBABLY MAKE A FEW PEOPLE STOP IN THEIR TRACKS AS WELL.

THE SIMPLISTIC BIG MOUTH FRONT, AND UNDULATING SIDES ARE CERTAINLY A NOTCH ABOVE MOST IN THE SEGMENT.

BLIND SPOT MONITORING IS OPTIONAL, BUT STANDARD I-ACTIVESENSE SAFETY FEATURES INCLUDE RADAR CRUISE WITH STOP-AND-GO, AS WELL AS LANE-KEEP ASSIST.

GOVERNMENT FUEL ECONOMY RATINGS FOR ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE WITH PREMIUM TRIM ARE 25-CITY, 32-HIGHWAY, AND 27-COMBINED.

WE AVERAGED 30 MILES PER GALLON OF REGULAR.

AND THAT'S A BETTER THAN AVERAGE ENERGY IMPACT SCORE OF 12.2 BARRELS OF YEARLY OIL USE, WITH CO2 EMISSIONS OF 5.3 TONS.

PRICING STARTS AT ONLY $23,000, WHICH IS ABOUT THREE-GRAND LESS THAN THE CX-5, AND $1,000 LESS THAN A MAZDA3 HATCHBACK.

ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE ADDS $1,400 MORE, WITH TOP PREMIUM TRIM COMING IN AT $29,300.

THERE IS A LOT TO LIKE ABOUT THE 2020 MAZDA CX-30.

WHILE, IT WAS CLEARLY DESIGNED WITH THE YOUNG ACTIVE BUYER IN MIND, IT GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND THAT, AND WOULD MAKE A GREAT UTILITY REGARDLESS OF AGE OR ACTIVITY LEVEL.

THAT MAKES IT A WINNER IN OUR BOOK, AND PROOF THAT THERE WAS INDEED ROOM FOR ONE MORE UTILITY IN THE MAZDA LINEUP.

* [DOOR CLOSES] THIS YEAR MARKS A BIG MILESTONE FOR A MINIATURE CAR BRAND THAT'S LOVED BY KIDS OF ALL AGES, AS WELL AS COVETED BY COLLECTORS WORLDWIDE.

I'M TALKING ABOUT HOT WHEELS, AS IT TURNS 50 YEARS OLD!

SO, WHAT BETTER TIME TO EXAMINE THE PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE OF THIS ICONIC NAMEPLATE.

OUR STEPHANIE HART HAD THE RARE CHANCE TO GO BEHIND THE SCENES AT MATTEL, WHERE HOT WHEELS GOT THEIR START.

* Stephanie Hart: HOT WHEELS WAS BORN IN 1968.

MATTEL'S CO-FOUNDER ELLIOT HANDLER DREAMED OF A BETTER TOY CAR FOR BOYS, A CAR THAT LOOKED COOLER AND PERFORMED BETTER.

HE GOT HIS WISH!

A GENERAL MOTORS CAR DESIGNER AND A ROCKET SCIENTIST CAME UP WITH THE FIRST EVER TRACKABLE TOY CAR.

Commercial Announcer: NEW HOT WHEELS ONLY FROM MATTEL!

TWENTY-THOUSAND DIFFERENT DESIGNS WOULD FOLLOW.

A WHOPPING SIX BILLION HOT WHEELS PRODUCED OVER THE LAST 50 YEARS.

Commercial Announcer: IT'S HOT WHEELS BIGGEST GARAGE EVER WITH SPACE FOR OVER 140 CARS... Stephanie: THE MINIATURE TOY CARS ARE CREATED HERE AT MATTEL HEADQUARTERS IN EL SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA.

Bryan Benedict: OKAY, LET'S GET ANOTHER LAYER GOING IN HERE.

Stephanie: BRYAN BENEDICT IS ONE OF 50 HOT WHEELS DESIGNERS.

THE TEAM IS MADE UP OF EXPERTS FROM MANY DIFFERENT INDUSTRIES.

LIKE, MAJOR AUTO MANUFACTURERS, ENTERTAINMENT STUDIOS, AND THE TOY INDUSTRY.

Bryan: WHAT I'M WORKING ON HERE IS KIND OF LIKE MY IDEA FOR A NEW SUPERCAR, SO IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT EXISTS IT'S JUST SOMETHING OUT OF MY OWN CRAZY MIND.

Stephanie: HALF THE CARS DESIGNED HERE ARE IMAGINARY.

THE OTHER HALF ARE BASED ON EXISTING VEHICLES.

Ted Wu: HERE AT THE HOT WHEELS HEADQUARTERS WE CAN ACTUALLY CREATE 3-D VERSIONS OF WHAT THE GUYS ARE THINKING AND THEN WE WORK WITH OUR MANUFACTURERS IN ASIA TO ACTUALLY CREATE THE FINAL PRODUCT YOU SEE IN STORES.

Stephanie: THE WHOLE PROCESS TAKES 12 TO 18 MONTHS.

Commercial Announcer: EACH TRACK PACK THAT YOU GET MAKES A WHOLE NEW SET...

THE ICONIC ORANGE TRACK SYSTEM HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PART OF THE HOT WHEELS BRAND.

MORE THAN SIX-THOUSAND MILES OF ORANGE TRACK ARE PRODUCED EACH YEAR.

WHY ORANGE YOU MAY BE WONDERING?

WELL, HOT WHEELS SAYS, "IT'S BECAUSE KIDS ARE ATTRACTED TO BRIGHT COLORS."

IT'S REALLY EASY TO FEEL LIKE A KID AGAIN, ESPECIALLY WITH THIS BIG ORANGE TRACK.

[SOUND OF A RACING CAR REVVING] ALRIGHT LET'S GIVE IT A GO.

[SOUND OF HOT WHEELS GOING DOWN THE TRACK] NOT BAD.

Chris Down: ACTUALLY, EVERYBODY THAT HAS PLAYED WITH HOT WHEELS IN THEIR HEAD, IS IMAGINING WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE OR WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE TO DRIVE IT ON THE ROAD, OR TO SEE IT IN REAL LIFE.

Stephanie: HE READ OUR MIND.

ENTER THE HOT WHEELS GARAGE.

IT'S PRETTY TOP SECRET AND SECURITY IS TIGHT.

NOT MANY PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED INSIDE, SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED!

FROM THE 1:64 SCALE DIE CAST, TO THE REAL THING... LET'S TAKE THIS CAR OUT FOR A SPIN.

THIS 2018 LIMITED EDITION HOT WHEELS CAMARO IS COMMEMORATING HOT WHEELS 50TH ANNIVERSARY.

TWENTY VEHICLES MAKE UP THE HOT WHEELS FLEET.

Bryan: THIS IS THE WAY TO GO IN CALIFORNIA.

TOP DOWN.

Stephanie: AND THESE LIFE-SIZE HOT WHEELS ARE ANOTHER LEVEL, LITERALLY.

THREE, BROKE WORLD RECORDS.

AND GET A GOOD LOOK AT THIS ONE!

"MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU," THIS STAR WARS HOT WHEELS PUMPS OUT 175 HORSEPOWER AND HITS 180 MILES PER HOUR.

CHECK OUT THIS 1969 VOLKSWAGEN BEACH BOMB.

IT'S CREATING A LOT OF WAVES.

IT'S KILLER.

AND IT'S DIE-CAST PROTOTYPE IS EXTREMELY VALUABLE.

WE'RE TALKING CLOSE TO $150,000.

DIE-HARD COLLECTOR BRUCE PASCAL OWNS IT.

Bruce Pascal: AND IT'S JUST ABSOLUTELY AMAZING THOUGH, IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, HOW MANY OTHER TOYS, THE GRANDFATHER PLAYED WITH, THEIR SON PLAYED, AND THEIR GRANDCHILDREN.

IT'S MULTIGENERATIONAL, THERE'S JUST NOT THAT MANY TOYS THAT ARE SUCH AN AMERICAN SUCCESS STORY.

Stephanie: CAPTURING THE HEARTS OF COLLECTORS AND KIDS FOR HALF A CENTURY.

WHILE, REFLECTING THE CAR CULTURE, THAT'S CONSTANTLY CHANGING.

THE HOT WHEELS DIE-CAST CAR IS THE NUMBER ONE SELLING TOY IN THE WORLD, 16.5 ARE PRODUCED EVERY SECOND.

AND IT'S PRICE REMAINS THE SAME, 50 YEARS LATER, AND JUST A COOL ONE DOLLAR DRIVE!

John: THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING NEW OUT THERE THAT WE HAVEN'T DRIVEN YET.

AND THAT'S WHAT QUICK SPINS ARE FOR!

IN THE WORLD OF LUXURY SUVs, THE BMW X1 HAS ALWAYS BEEN A STRONG COMPETITOR.

2020 IS AN UPDATE YEAR FOR THE X1, AND THE REFINEMENTS CONTINUE TO PROVE WHY IT IS THE BEST-SELLING X-MODEL WORLDWIDE.

THE NUMEROUS REVISIONS TO THE X1 INCLUDE OPTIONAL LED HEADLIGHTS COMPLIMENTED BY LED FOG LIGHTS; AND NEW FRONT, AND REAR BUMPER DESIGNS, THAT INCORPORATE LARGER OPENINGS, AND SHARPER EDGES, TO GIVE THE X1 A MORE MODERN LOOK.

OPT FOR THE M SPORT PACKAGE, AND YOU'LL GET A MORE AGGRESSIVE LOOK THAN BEFORE AS WELL.

AND, DEPENDING ON TRIM, YOU'LL GET ALL-NEW 18 OR 19 INCH WHEEL DESIGNS.

UNDER THE HOOD IS A 2.0 LITER TURBO CHARGED 4-CYLINDER ENGINE, MAKING 228 HORSEPOWER AND 258 POUND-FEET OF TORQUE; MATED TO AN UPDATED 8-SPEED STEPTRONIC AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, WITH REVISED GEAR RATIOS FOR INCREASED PERFORMANCE.

FRONT-WHEEL-DRIVE REMAINS STANDARD, WITH XDRIVE ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE AVAILABLE.

INSIDE, YOU'LL BE GREETED BY NEW DECORATIVE CONTRAST STITCHING, AS WELL AS A REVISED ELECTRONIC GEAR SELECTOR.

APPLE CARPLAY IS NOW STANDARD, AS IS NAVIGATION AND A POWER LIFT-GATE.

THE 2020 BMW X1 GIVES YOU A QUALITY SUV AT A REASONABLE PRICE, AND CONTINUES TO GIVE COMPETITORS A RUN FOR THEIR MONEY.

PRICING STARTS AROUND $35,000, AND YOU CAN FIND THEM AT DEALERSHIPS NOW.

PORSCHE HAS TAKEN THE 911 TO AMAZING HEIGHTS OVER THE YEARS, AND THERE ARE NOW SEEMINGLY ENDLESS VARIATIONS ON THE 911 THEME.

WELL, WE MAY HAVE A NEW FAVORITE, AFTER A QUICK SPIN IN THIS 2020 911 CARRERA 4S.

THE 4S DOESN'T STAND OUT AS MUCH AS BEFORE, AS NOW ALL 992 CARRERA'S HAVE THE WIDEBODY TREATMENT THAT USED TO COME ONLY WITH ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE.

IN FACT, THE 4S IS NOW SIMPLY A CARRERA S WITH ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE, MUCH LIKE YOU CAN GET A PICKUP TRUCK AS A 4X2 OR A 4X4.

INSIDE, THE 4S HAS THE SAME HIGH-QUALITY FEEL, AND IS MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN EVER.

THAT'S ALL WELL AND GOOD, BUT WE DIDN'T BRING IT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO SAVANNAH, GEORGIA JUST TO LOOK AT IT.

SO, WE DIALED UP SPORT+ AND GOT TO WORK ON THE CORNERS OF ROEBLING ROAD RACEWAY.

THE BENEFITS OF ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE ARE WELL DOCUMENTED, BUT SPECIFICALLY, IN THIS CASE, IT'S MORE GRIP FOR CORNERING AND FOR LAUNCHING.

OF COURSE, THERE'S THE ALL-WEATHER ASPECT AS WELL.

AND IN THE INTEREST OF RATCHETING UP PERFORMANCE, THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL UNIT OF THE NEW 4S GETS BEEFIER CLUTCH DISCS AND IS NOW WATER-COOLED.

SAME 443 HORSEPOWER TURBO-6 ENGINE AS THE CARRERA S FOR POWER, WITH 8-SPEED PDK STANDARD, WHICH WILL GET YOU TO 60 IN 3.2 SECONDS.

A 7-SPEED MANUAL IS NOW AVAILABLE AS A NO COST OPTION.

IT'S HARD TO EXAGGERATE JUST HOW CAPABLE AND EASY TO DRIVE THIS NEW GENERATION OF 911 IS.

AND ADDING ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE JUST INCREASES CAPABILITY WITHOUT DETRACTING FROM THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE IN ANY WAY.

ALL TYPICAL PORSCHE.

CARRERA 4S PRICING STARTS AROUND $121,000, AND IF YOU CAN HANDLE THAT, THEY'RE ON SALE NOW.

AND WE'LL HAVE MORE QUICKSPINS, SOON!

COMPUTERS MAY CONTROL MORE AND MORE OF OUR CARS THESE DAYS, BUT THERE'S STILL PLENTY OF VITAL LIQUIDS ON BOARD AS WELL.

PAT GOSS HAS WHAT WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS FLUID SITUATION.

* Pat Goss: NOW WHETHER, YOUR CAR IS NEW, IT'S OLD, OR SOME PLACE IN BETWEEN, IT HAS VITAL FLUIDS.

AND THE MOST IMPORTANT OF THOSE VITAL FLUIDS IS THE ENGINE OIL.

NOW, YOU CAN HAVE A NEWER CAR THAT MAY HAVE AN OIL-LIKE MONITORING SYSTEM ON IT, BUT REMEMBER THAT MOST OF THOSE MONITORING SYSTEMS DO NOT TELL YOU THE CONDITION OF THE OIL.

ALL THEY DO IS MAKE A GUESS BASED ON THE NUMBER OF REVOLUTIONS OF THE ENGINE, THE TEMPERATURE OF THE OIL, AND A BUNCH OF OTHER FACTORS THAT THEY PLUG INTO AN ALGORITHM.

IF YOU REALLY WANT TO BE GREAT ABOUT TAKING CARE OF YOUR CAR, FIND OUT WHAT TYPE OF MILEAGE YOU PUT ON YOUR CAR AND FOLLOW EITHER A TIME OR MILEAGE OIL CHANGE INTERVAL.

IF YOU DRIVE A LOT OF MILES, YOU CHANGE IT ON MILEAGE COVERED BY THE WHEELS.

IF YOU DON'T DO MUCH DRIVING, WELL THEN YOU DO IT ON CALENDAR MONTHS.

BUT THE BIG THING IS TO CHANGE THE OIL.

AND TO ALWAYS USE THE PROPER TYPE OF OIL.

YOU SEE, THERE ARE DIFFERENT QUALITIES OF OIL AND MOST MODERN CARS REQUIRE THE HIGHEST QUALITY THAT YOU CAN BUY.

MANY REQUIRE FULL SYNTHETIC OIL IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN WARRANTY COVERAGE.

ALSO, THERE ARE ALL TYPES OF OIL VISCOSITIES OR THICKNESSES.

AND THE ONE THING THAT YOU MAY RUN INTO IS SOMEBODY THAT TELLS YOU THAT THICKER OIL IS BETTER.

THICKER OIL MAY HAVE BEEN BETTER MANY, MANY YEARS AGO.

BUT NOT ANYMORE.

THE CAR IS SET UP TODAY TO WORK PROPERLY WITH THE RECOMMENDED TYPE OF OIL IN IT.

SO, FOLLOW THE OWNER'S MANUAL.

THEN, WE HAVE SPECIALTY OILS THAT THEY ADDRESS CERTAIN PROBLEMS.

WELL, THE ADVERTISING PEOPLE WOULD LIKE YOU TO THINK, THAT THESE PROBLEMS ARE GOING TO OCCUR USUALLY AT 75,000 MILES ON EVERY CAR OUT THERE.

SO, THEY'LL TELL YOU TO USE THEIR PRODUCT AT 75,000 MILES.

WELL, NO TWO CARS WEAR EXACTLY THE SAME.

WAIT UNTIL YOUR CAR HAS A PROBLEM THAT, THAT SPECIALTY OIL MIGHT ADDRESS AND THEN USE IT, NOT BEFORE.

ALRIGHT...SECOND THING, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS.

VIRTUALLY ALL CARS THESE DAYS COME WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS IN SOME FORM.

THESE TRANSMISSIONS HAVE FLUIDS.

AND THE FLUIDS HAVE TO BE CHANGED ON A REGULAR BASIS.

NOW, THE BEST WAY TO DO IT IS TO FLUSH THE TRANSMISSION, THAT'LL GET RID OF ALL THE OLD CONTAMINANTS, AND ALL THE OLD FLUID, AND SO ON.

AND, IT'LL MAKE THE TRANSMISSION LAST LONGER.

BUT WHEN IT COMES TO FILL OR TOP OFF THE TRANSMISSION, WELL, YOUR GOING TO BE FACED WITH A WHOLE BUNCH OF DIFFERENT FLUIDS.

AND YOU WILL PROBABLY BE FACED WITH ONE OR TWO THAT SAY, "THEY FIT EVERYTHING."

WELL, ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL PROPERLY.

YOU SHOULD ALWAYS USE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID THAT IS RECOMMENDED FOR YOUR PARTICULAR YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL OF CAR.

AND THAT OF COURSE, WILL KEEP THE TRANSMISSION GOING LONGER AND HELP TO PREVENT PROBLEMS.

SO VITAL FLUIDS, THEY REALLY ARE VITAL!

MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THEM AND THAT YOU CHANGE THEM REGULARLY.

AND IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION OR COMMENT, DROP US A LINE, RIGHT HERE AT MOTORWEEK !

John: NOW, LET'S HEAD TO THE MOTORNEWS DESK AND SEE WHAT LAUREN MORRISON HAS FOR US THIS WEEK.

Lauren Morrison: AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES ARE PULLING UP FOR DELIVERIES IN PARTS OF CALIFORNIA.

PONY A-I IS TYPICALLY A ROBO TAXI SERVICE, MOVING PEOPLE INSTEAD OF PRODUCTS.

BUT THEY'VE SWITCHED GEARS AND HAVE DEPLOYED THEIR FLEET OF MODIFIED HYUNDAI KONA BATTERY-ELECTRIC CARS TO DELIVER PACKAGES AND GROCERIES IN IRVINE.

TEAMING UP WITH E-COMMERCE SITE, YAMIBUY, DELIVERIES WILL GO STRAIGHT TO A CUSTOMER'S DRIVEWAY.

THERE WILL BE A SAFETY DRIVER IN THE VEHICLE, WHO CAN EITHER DROP OFF THE PACKAGES ON THE DOORSTEP OR THE CUSTOMER CAN GET THEM FROM THE TRUNK OF THE CAR.

WE'VE SEEN FEWER DRIVERS ON THE ROADS THESE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS, WHICH MEANS FEWER ACCIDENTS, WHICH MEANS FEWER INSURANCE CLAIMS AND THAT EQUALS MONEY BACK INTO YOUR POCKET.

MAJOR INSURANCE COMPANIES ARE OFFERING REBATES TO CUSTOMERS ON THEIR AUTO POLICIES.

WHILE, IT VARIES FROM COMPANY TO COMPANY, STATE FARM CUSTOMERS, FOR EXAMPLE, CAN EXPECT TO SEE A 25% POLICY CREDIT, ON AVERAGE.

IN MOST CASES, CREDITS WILL BE APPLIED AUTOMATICALLY, BUT TO FIND OUT WHAT YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY IS OFFERING, YOU CAN GIVE YOUR LOCAL AGENT A CALL.

PORSCHE HAS AUCTIONED OFF A PIECE OF ITS HISTORY TO PROVIDE FOR CORONAVIRUS RELIEF.

THE LAST-EVER 991 GENERATION 911 SPEEDSTER ROLLED OFF THE PRODUCTION LINE IN DECEMBER AND HIT THE ONLINE AUCTION BLOCK IN APRIL, SELLING FOR A WHOPPING $500,000!

PORSCHE MATCHED THAT AMOUNT, MAKING A 1 MILLION DOLLAR DONATION TO UNITED WAY WORLDWIDE'S COVID-19 COMMUNITY RESPONSE AND RECOVERY FUND.

NO DETAILS ON THE BUYER, BUT WHOEVER THEY ARE, THEY ALSO GET A TRIP TO GERMANY FOR A BEHIND-THE-SCENES TOUR OF THE PORSCHE DEVELOPMENT CENTER AND TEST TRACK.

A WHOLE LOT OF MONEY RAISED FOR A GOOD CAUSE, AND THAT DOES IT FOR THIS WEEK'S MOTORNEWS.

John: THE ARRIVAL OF AN ALL-NEW TOYOTA COROLLA MAY NOT PIN THE EXCITEMENT METER AROUND HERE, BUT WE'RE ALL WELL AWARE OF ITS IMPORTANCE, BOTH TO TOYOTA AND TO THE SMALL CAR MARKET AS A WHOLE.

AFTER ALL, IT IS THE BEST-SELLING CAR OF ALL TIME; AND CONTINUES TO WRITE NEW CHAPTERS IN THE BOOK OF AUTOMOTIVE HISTORY.

WELL, THIS LATEST CHAPTER MAYBE ITS MOST INTERESTING YET.

* THE 2020 TOYOTA COROLLA BEGINS THE 12TH GENERATION OF A CAR THAT'S NUMERO UNO IN GLOBAL POPULARITY.

IT CONTINUES WITH THE RELIABILITY AND COMFORT THAT THE COROLLA IS HISTORICALLY KNOWN FOR, BUT ADDS AN EXPRESSIVE NEW DESIGN, IMPROVED TECHNOLOGY, AND A POWERTRAIN OPTION NOT PREVIOUSLY AVAILABLE IN THE U.S. NOW, RIDING ON TOYOTA'S NO LONGER NEW, NEW GLOBAL ARCHITECTURE, MEANS IT SHARES MANY HARDWARE BITS WITH BOTH THE PRIUS AND CAMRY.

THE ENGINE IS MOUNTED LOWER IN THE NEW CHASSIS, WHICH MEANS, A LOWER HOOD COVERING IT, IMPROVING DRIVER VISIBILITY.

UNDER THAT HOOD, THERE'S EITHER AN UPDATED 139 HORSEPOWER 1.8 LITER I4 WITH 126 POUND-FEET OF TORQUE, ONTO WHICH IS ATTACHED THE EXPECTED CVT... OR OPTIONALLY, A NEW 169 HORSEPOWER 2.0 LITER I4, AND HERE, YOU CAN REPLACE THE CVT WITH A 6-SPEED MANUAL IF YOU WISH.

OTHERWISE, YOU CAN GO HYBRID.

YES, THE COROLLA IS NOW AVAILABLE AS A HYBRID HERE.

USING THE PRIUS' HYBRID SYNERGY DRIVE, ITS GOOD FOR 121-COMBINED HORSEPOWER.

[TIRES SCREECH] NOW, THE COROLLA HYBRID IS NOT EXACTLY A REAL GO-GETTER OFF THE LINE, BUT IT'S NOT OVERLY POKEY EITHER.

WE HIT 60 IN 10.3 SECONDS, BUT IT TOOK A LENGTHY 17.7 TO FINISH THE QUARTER AT 79 MILES PER HOUR.

STILL, DESPITE A CVT, THE ENGINE NEVER SOUNDED BUZZY OR TINNY, AND THE COROLLA CHASSIS IS VERY SETTLED AND SOLID AT HIGH SPEED.

LIKEWISE, SHARING A SUSPENSION DESIGN WITH A PRIUS WON'T GET ANYONE TOO EXCITED; AND THROUGH OUR SLALOM COURSE, WE FOUND ABUNDANT UNDERSTEER, ALONG WITH SLOW OVER-BOOSTED STEERING.

AS FOR THE INTERIOR, OKAY...THERE ARE STILL SOME HARD SURFACES TO BE FOUND AROUND THE CABIN, BUT ALSO SPACE GALORE, AS THIS IS NOW CONSIDERED A MIDSIZE CAR BY THE EPA.

SEATS ARE QUITE COMFORTABLE, WITH THE COROLLA NO LONGER FEELING ENTRY-LEVEL.

THERE'S LESS OF A PENNED IN COCKPIT STYLE THAN BEFORE, AND ALL BUT BASE L GRADE GET AN 8.0 INCH HIGH RES.

TOUCHSCREEN FOR MULTIMEDIA.

GAUGES ARE A MODERN TAKE ON THE TRADITIONAL COROLLA SETUP, WITH AN AVAILABLE 7.0 INCH MULTI-INFORMATION DISPLAY THAT ALLOWS SWITCHING BETWEEN DIGITAL OR ANALOG SPEEDOMETERS.

GOVERNMENT FUEL ECONOMY RATINGS FOR THE 1.8 LITER ARE 30-CITY, 38-HIGHWAY, AND 33-COMBINED; WE AVERAGED 35.7 MILES PER GALLON.

THE HYBRID RATES 53-CITY, 52-HIGHWAY, AND 52-COMBINED; WITH OUR AVERAGE A SOLID 52.4 MILES PER GALLON, ALL ON REGULAR GRADE.

BASE PRICING, AT $20,555, IS CLEARLY A LOT MORE THAN WHEN THE 3RD GEN COROLLA FIRST WENT ON SALE HERE IN THE STATES BACK IN 1975, BUT STILL A GREAT VALUE ESPECIALLY COMPARED TO THE ENTRY-LEVEL UTILITIES THAT ATTRACT MOST SHOPPERS THESE DAYS.

THE HYBRID, IN A SINGLE LE TRIM FOR NOW, STARTS AT JUST $24,055.

TOYOTA CERTAINLY HAS A WAY WITH HYBRIDS, AND IT'S SAFE TO SAY, THE COROLLA'S ROLE IN OUR AUTOMOTIVE FUTURE IS A SECURE ONE.

THE EFFICIENCY OF A PRIUS IN A MORE FAMILIAR PACKAGE THAT DARE WE SAY, IS A LOT EASIER ON THE EYES, IS A MATCH MADE IN CAR HEAVEN.

THAT SHOULD HELP MAKE THE 2020 TOYOTA COROLLA MORE APPEALING, AND YES, MORE EXCITING THAN EVER.

WELL, THAT'S OUR SHOW, I HOPE YOU ENJOYED IT.

NOW FOR MORE MOTORWEEK ; INCLUDING DAILY NEWS UPDATES, PODCASTS, AND EVEN COMPLETE EPISODES, CRUISE ON OVER TO PBS.ORG/MOTORWEEK.

AND I HOPE YOU'LL JOIN US NEXT TIME FOR A FAMILY SENSIBLE COMPACT SEDAN FROM NISSAN, THE NEW SENTRA.

AND WE SLIP INSIDE THE SLEEK AND ENTERTAINING AUDI A7.

TIL' THEN, I'M JOHN DAVIS, WE'LL SEE YOU RIGHT HERE ON MOTORWEEK !
