HI, I'M JOHN DAVIS AND JOIN US FOR SOME PRESTIGIOUS IN THE REVAMPED S4... PAT GOSS BRINGS HIS TOOLS AT GOSS' GARAGE... BRIAN ROBINSON FINDS THAT TRULY BREAKS AND THEN, WE'LL PEG IN ONE TOUGH PICKUP, SO COME DRIVE WITH US, NEXT!

CLOSED CAPTIONING PROVIDED BY * Announcer: MOTORWEEK , 40 YEARS, STEERING YOU BROUGHT TO YOU BY... ROCKAUTO HAS AUTO PARTS FROM OFFERING A VARIETY OF BRANDS, ROCKAUTO.COM, ALL THE PARTS YOUR CAR John: ONE CAR DESIGN A FAVORITE AROUND IS AUDI'S COMPACT A4 SEDAN THEY'RE SWEET TO DRIVE SO, A MID CYCLE REFRESH OF A GREAT EXCUSE TO REVISIT AND, WHAT BETTER WAY TO OF THE 4 THAN IN THE SO, BUCKLE UP FOR SPORT SEDAN * THE AUDI S4 IS PART OF THE AS ALONG WITH BMW AND THEY LARGELY DEFINE A MODERN SPORT SEDAN.

NOT A MEMBER OF THE ULTRA THE S4 OCCUPIES THE SPORTY SIMILAR TO THE BMW M340I NOW, UNLESS YOU'RE REALLY YOU PROBABLY WON'T RECENT UPDATES, THEY'RE ACTUALLY QUITE ESPECIALLY OUTSIDE, WITH HAVING BEEN ADDRESSED OF A4 DEBUTED IN 2017.

STARTING UP FRONT, HAS GOTTEN WIDER AND FLATTER, DOWN LOW IN THE FRONT FASCIA.

DOWN THE SIDES, WHEEL ARCHES AND C-PILLARS HAVE BEEN ON TOP OF ALL OF THAT, A TRUNK LID SPOILER, QUAD EXHAUST TIPS.

WHILE, YOU COULD BE ANY ADDITIONAL HORSEPOWER WE PREFER TO LOOK AT IT AS AS AUDI HAS PLAYED THAT SO, THE 3.0 LITER V6 TURBO THE SAME 349 HORSEPOWER AND 369 POUND-FEET OF TORQUE WE'D FILE IT UNDER THE AS AT NO TIME OR FEEL UNDERPOWERED.

STANDARD QUATTRO AN 8-SPEED TIPTRONIC AND A HEAVILY REVISED PART OF WHAT SETS THE S4 APART A4 FARE.

OUR FIRST S4 TEST A TIME WHEN AUDI WAS ATTEMPTING ITSELF AS A PERFORMANCE BRAND WE LOVED ITS UNDERSTATED FIRM HANDLING, AND LUXURIOUS INTERIOR.

AND WE WEREN'T THE ONLY NOTING THAT THE ENTIRE U.S. HAD ALREADY BEEN SPOKEN FOR.

ALL OF THOSE ATTRIBUTES TO THIS S4, WHERE THE INTERIOR REMAINS THE OF UNDERSTATED ELEGANCE.

2020 SAW THE ARRIVAL INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM THAT WAS NOT OPERATING 10-TIMES FASTER THAN THE S4 GETS DIAMOND-STITCHED WITH ADJUSTABLE SIDE BOLSTERS AND EVEN A MASSAGING FUNCTION.

REAR SEAT ROOM IS TYPICALLY BUT TRUNK SPACE, AT 13.0 WITH 40/20/40 TO ALLOW FLEXIBILITY GETTING TO THE GOOD STUFF; THE S4 IS BASICALLY IN A SPORT SEDAN.

IT LAUNCHES POWERFULLY, FOR SPRINTS TO 60 THE TURBO V6 SOUNDS GREAT SHIFTS GEARS QUICKLY RIGHT THROUGHOUT, THE 12.8 SECOND WHICH WE FINISHED AT IT HAS THAT STABLE HIGH-SPEED GERMAN SEDANS DO; FLOATING ROUGH SURFACE, YET, TO POUNCE IN ANY DIRECTION TRADITIONALLY, ENHANCED QUATTRO WITH SOME UNDERSTEER BUT THAT'S BEEN LESS EVIDENT AND DARN NEAR ELIMINATED HERE.

THE S4 IS LIKE A TIE ZOOMS THROUGH REDWOODS HITTING ANYTHING.

OF COURSE, WE FEEL LIKE IF WE DON'T POINT OUT AND THAT'S THE STEERING FEEL; LIKE MANY OF ITS COUNTERPARTS, IT SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN ALONG THE WAY.

ON THE OTHER HAND, BITE HARD IF YOU EVEN FOR SOLID, CONSISTENT STOPS BUT THE ONE THING THAT IS AWAY FROM THE TRACK, ARE HARD TO MATCH AT AND AUDI'S DRIVE SELECT BETWEEN DRIVE MODES.

COMFORT MODE IS INDEED THAT, FROM SPORT SEDAN TO DEVOID OF RIDE HARSHNESS.

GOVERNMENT FUEL ECONOMY 28-HIGHWAY, WE AVERAGED AN UNDERWHELMING ON PREMIUM.

IN ALL AN AVERAGE OF 14.3 BARRELS OF WITH 6.3 TONS OF CO2 EMISSIONS.

THERE ARE 3 TRIMS FOR STARTING WITH PREMIUM AT UP TO PRESTIGE AT $59,245.

FORTUNATELY, WILLING TO SACRIFICE SOME THE SAME EXPERIENCE, FOR AS LITTLE AS $40,145.

WHILE, ALL OF THE GERMAN TO DELIVER ESSENTIALLY AUDI SEEMS THE MOST UNIQUE IN SO, ITS ULTIMATE APPEAL ON WHERE YOUR ALLEGIANCES BUT CLEARLY TO US, IS THE BEST S4 YET; THAT IS EVEN SWEETER, AND EXPECT FROM A SPORT SEDAN * Flashback Larry Rodriguez: I WAS IN SEPTEMBER 30TH OF '92.

Lisa Barrow: LARRY RODRIGUEZ IN THE OPEN ROAD THANKS TO THE AMERICAN THUNDER TRIKE.

Larry: YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST John: WE ALL KNOW THAT ARE BECOMING MORE AND MORE AND THAT GOES FOR TWO-WHEELED WELL, THIS WEEK OUR AN ELECTRIC MOTORCYCLE * Brian Robinson: IF YOU WOULD OR HECK, EVEN FIVE YEARS AGO A HARLEY-DAVIDSON, I WOULD BUT, THE FUTURE IS HERE, IS EMBRACING IT.

THAT'S RIGHT, THE HARLEY-DAVIDSON FINALLY HAS A MOTORCYCLE WITH AND NOT AN INTERNAL IT'S CALLED "THE LIVEWIRE," AND IT'S UNLIKE ANY HARLEY EVER.

STARTING WITH WHERE THE V-TWIN HERE, YOU'LL FIND A 15.5 LITHIUM-ION BATTERY WITH UNDERNEATH OF IT, A WATER-COOLED 78 KILOWATT RATED AT 105 HORSEPOWER WHICH CAN DELIVER THE LIVEWIRE IN JUST 3.0 SECONDS.

A SINGLE SPEED GEAR-SET TO THE REAR WHEEL THROUGH BELT-DRIVE SETUP.

THE BIGGEST COMPLIMENT TO FEELS LIKE A REAL MOTORCYCLE; FIRE IT UP, AND GET TO RIDING.

IT NEVER FEELS LIKE SOME OR PROOF OF CONCEPT VEHICLE OR GENTLE WITH.

THEY'VE EVEN ENGINEERED INTO THE BIKE WHEN AT IDLE, INDEED ON A LIVING/BREATHING AND IT'S NOT SILENT EITHER.

NO SIMULATED V-TWIN RUMBLE BUT THERE IS A CONSTANT TYPICAL OF A HIGH-PERFORMANCE CHARGING AT HOME CAN BE DONE HOUSEHOLD LEVEL-1 BUT IT ALSO ACCEPTS DC FOR A FULL-CHARGE IN ABOUT AND OF COURSE, (AFTER "THAT'S IS "HOW MUCH RANGE?"

WELL, RANGE RANGES FROM TO UP TO 146 MILES IN ALL HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON AND THERE'S MORE THAN ENOUGH TO USE ALL OF THOSE MILES A HOST OF CAR-LIKE SAFETY AND TRACTION CONTROL AS IS FRONT-WHEEL LIFT ALL WITH UNIQUE SETTINGS AND RANGE RIDE MODES, YOUR OWN INDIVIDUAL SETUP.

SOME PRACTICAL THINGS, IMPROVED ON; THE MIRRORS COULD SO THAT I'M NOT LOOKING AT AND DEPENDING ON WHERE THIS PROTRUDING CONNECTION CAN RUB YOU THE WRONG WAY.

PRICING STARTS AT $29,799, WITH YOUR CHOICE OF AS AN INCENTIVE, WITH ELECTRIFY AMERICA OF FREE CHARGING DC FAST-CHARGING STATIONS.

THE 2020 HARLEY-DAVIDSON AN ALTOGETHER NEW HARLEY-DAVIDSON EXPERIENCE.

MANY OF YOU WATCHING ARE NOT TO LIKE IT, THAT THIS WILL NOT APPEAL OF THEIR CURRENT CUSTOMERS.

BUT, THE TRUTH IS, BUT FOR THEIR GRANDKIDS; THOSE WHO PUT A HIGHER PRIORITY AND SUSTAINABILITY HARLEY-DAVIDSON IS WISE TO TO DRIVE THEM THROUGH John: MANY OF US ARE BUT THIS WEEK PAT GOSS AND SHOULDN'T TACKLE ABOUT * Pat Goss: THIS TIME WE ARE A COUPLE OF THINGS YOU MIGHT WANT TO TRY YOURSELF, AND ONE THING THAT YOU PROBABLY TO TRY YOURSELF.

LET'S START WITH THE THING DOING OURSELVES.

AND THAT IS RIGHT HERE.

IF WE LOOK AT THIS SEAT BELT, IT'S ALL FRAYED AND CERTAINLY SO IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, AND REPLACE ONE YOURSELF?

NO.

NOT UNLESS YOU KNOW ALL BECAUSE MANY OF THESE HAVE THAT USE AN EXPLOSIVE DEVICE THAT'S NUMBER ONE.

NUMBER TWO, THE BOLTS THAT WELL, THEY ARE REALLY, REQUIRE A LARGE WRENCH IN ORDER TO GET THEM LOOSE.

BUT HERE'S SOMETHING CONSIDERING YOURSELF.

IT CAN BE EXPENSIVE, AND THAT IS, THAT THE DOOR THEY'RE HELD ON BY THESE CLIPS.

THE CLIPS SOMETIMES FALL OUT, THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED.

WELL, SUCH AS WE CAN SEE OVER HERE, THAT'S INEXPENSIVE ENOUGH TO DO YOURSELF.

NOW, YOU CAN TAKE YOU CAN FIND VIDEOS THAT SHOW ON THE INTERNET.

AND ONCE, YOU HAVE IT OFF, REPLACEMENT CLIPS FOR IT.

YOU CAN GO TO THE DEALER MANY TIMES YOU CAN FIND A WHOLE ASSORTMENT OF THEM THAT YOU MIGHT NEED.

PUT THEM ON, AND YOU'VE FIXED THE PROBLEM.

AND OH, TELL THE PERSON NOT TO SLAM THE DOOR.

AND HERE'S ANOTHER PROBLEM MOST ALL DOOR HANDLES THESE AND THE PLASTIC GETS BRITTLE AGAIN, YOU HAVE THE OPTION AND FINDING AFTERMARKET A MUCH LONGER WARRANTY AND THEY ARE OFTEN SOMETHING AGAIN, AND IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION RIGHT HERE AT MOTORWEEK !

[CAR HORN BEEPS] John: OUR MOTORWEEK 40TH IS A KILN RED 1982 ANDREW GABAY FROM BOUGHT THIS 5-SPEED MANUAL WITH 6000 MILES AND ORIGINAL WHICH STILL HAS THAT SUBMIT PHOTOS OF YOUR FOR CAR OF THE WEEK TIME NOW FOR A COUPLE OF SURE TO BRING BLING * Greg Carloss: THOUGH, FOR AUTOMOTIVE EXTRAVAGANCE LIKE MOST OF US, A LITTLE MORE FRUGAL WITH THUS, WE SEE A NEW IT'S A PLUG-IN HYBRID COMBINING A 3.0 LITER WITH AN ELECTRIC MOTOR TO AND DELIVER ABOUT 18 MILES OF Jessica Ray: WHILE, OF THE 2021 BENTAYGA FROM WHEN IT DEBUTED IT IS STILL, TO GO ALL-ELECTRIC BY 2030.

THEY'RE STARTING THIS THEIR MODEL RANGE OR BATTERY ELECTRIC BY 2026.

SO IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, SIMILAR HYRBID POWERTRAINS AND HOPEFULLY THAT INCLUDES Greg: THE BENTAYGA HYBRID INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM THAT TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK THROUGH MORE EFFICIENTLY.

AND ALSO BRINGS WITH IT AND SUBTLE INTERIOR UPDATES THE BENTAYGA LINEUP.

Dave Scrivener: DESPITE BENTLEY HAS ALWAYS BEEN AND POWERTRAIN TECHNOLOGY THE MARKET SHIFT TO SPORT AND ELECTRIC BOOST SHOULD AND THE BENTAYGA ACTUALLY NOT JUST A POLO PICNIC PLATFORM.

IT DRIVES WITH ALL OF A PACK OF HOUNDS ON AND THEIR COMMITMENT TO PLUG-IN PROVES ONCE AGAIN THAT OLD DOGS AND MASTER, NEW TRICKS.

Greg: THE 2021 BENTLEY STARTS AT AROUND $157,000.

John: WE RECENTLY GAVE OUR MOTORWEEK DRIVERS' CHOICE BUT IT LOOKS LIKE KIA IS INTO A LOT MORE THAN JUST MOM SO, IT'S TIME FOR IN THE 2021 KIA K5 GT; MIDSIZE FRONT-WHEEL-DRIVE SEDAN JUST A BIT OF CATCHING UP IT REPLACES THE OPTIMA AND ALONG WITH THE NAME CHANGE N3 PLATFORM SHARED WITH AS WELL AS A SHAPE THAT IS AND WIDER THAN THE OPTIMA, WITH A LOT OF INSPIRATION THIS GT IS A HIGH PERFORMANCE SOMETHING THEY NEVER DID CONSIDERING, IS A 180 HORSEPOWER KIA COULD HAVE JUST DROPPED 2.0 LITER IN, BUT, THEY DECIDED TO GO WITH A NEW 2.5 LITER TURBO-4 AND 311 POUND-FEET OF TORQUE; 8-SPEED WET DUAL-CLUTCH THE K5 BROUGHT TO THE LINEUP AS WELL.

BUT EITHER THE SYSTEM ALL OF THE GT'S POWER, FOR LATER; AS FOR RIGHT NOW, THE GT AND IT COULD USE AWD HELP, THE GT'S FRONTS DEFINITELY UNDER FULL THROTTLE.

STILL, IN THE MID 5.0 SECOND BRACKET; ALMOST A FULL 2.0 SECONDS THE 8-SPEED DCT, WHICH N PERFORMANCE DIVISION, WITH FIRM AND DIRECT SHIFTS IT ALSO, AND LAUNCH CONTROL.

BUILDING UPON THE K5'S THE GT ADDS A UNIQUE AND DUAL CHROME EXHAUST TIPS WHILE INSIDE YOU GET AND A NICE FLAT-BOTTOM STEERING KIA HAS ALSO DONE SOME SUSPENSION TWEAKS; STEERING A LITTLE, INTO SPORT SEDAN HARSHNESS.

ONE FINAL WORD OF CAUTION, WHICH HAS MUCH OF THE SAME BUT NOT THE PERFORMANCE.

SO, MAKE SURE YOU'RE BEFORE YOU SIGN ON WHEN YOU DO, YOU'LL GET FOR A PRICE THAT'S STILL WELL AS THE 2021 KIA K5 GT AND WE'LL HAVE MORE WITHOUT A DOUBT THE FORD FOR PRODUCTION PICKUP TRUCK JUST LIKE FORD DID WITH AND THERE'S BEEN NO TRUE ENTER THE RAM 1500 TRX.

AN ANSWER TO THE QUESTION, A RAM?

* WHEN YOU HAVE THE MOST IN RECENT MEMORY, INTO EVERYTHING FROM SEDANS IT WAS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME THEIR 700+ HORSE UNDER THE HOOD OF A RAM PICKUP OF COURSE, WE REMEMBER THAT TORE UP OUR TEST TRACK BUT EVEN THAT MIGHTY BEAST THAT'S OVER 200 LESS THAN INDEED, THIS IS NO ASPHALT-BOUND THIS 2021 RAM 1500 TRX IS WAY OFF-ROAD.

AND THAT STARTS FROM TRX RIDES 2.0 INCHES A STANDARD RAM 1500 4 X 4, AND ROLLS ON CHUNKY 35 INCH SPORTING 18 X 9 INCH THEY PROVIDE PLENTY OF GRIP AND JUST ENOUGH BUILT-IN THE ROUGH SPOTS.

ON TOP OF THAT, ACTIVE TERRAIN MANAGEMENT REMOTE-RESERVOIR SHOCKS, WITH 13-PLUS INCHES OF TRAVEL, AND 11.8 INCHES OF MEANS THE TRX IS NO PARKING A DANA 60 REAR AXLE WITH IS STANDARD EQUIPMENT.

TRX ONLY COMES AS A SHORT-BED BODYWORK IS 8.0 INCHES AS MONSTER FENDER A 6.0 INCH WIDER TRACK WIDTH.

THE LOOK IS PURPOSELY WITH MASSIVE RAM BADGES, AND STEEL BUMPERS WITH OVERSIZED ACCENT LIGHTS INSIDE MAY BE JUST FOR LOOKS, AIRFLOW SYSTEM ISN'T: DIRECTLY INTO A 29 LITER SO INTAKE AIR IS KEPT COOLER.

HUGE DUAL AIR FILTER ELEMENTS IN EXTREME DUSTY CONDITIONS.

UNLIKE OTHER HELLCAT THE ENGINE IS NOT SHOWCASED A PLASTIC SHROUD COVERS MOST OF BUT IF YOU REMOVE IT, THE HIDDEN T-REX EASTER EGG.

THAT ROARING 6.2 LITER HERE IT PUMPS OUT AND 650 POUND-FEET OF TORQUE, DRIVING ALL FOUR WHEELS A QUICK-SHIFTING 8-SPEED LOW RANGE AND SELECTABLE PRECONFIGURE THE 4-WHEEL OFF-ROAD SCENARIO, FORDING WATER UP TO ON TERRA FIRMA, THE TRX RETURNING A FASTER - 3.8 SECOND 0-60 TIME IN 12.3 SECONDS AT THAT'S JUST 8.0 MILES ITS MANUFACTURER-IMPOSED LAUNCH MODE IN A JACKED BUT IT WORKS.

ALLOWING A LITTLE REAR WHEEL IT QUICKLY THROWS POWER TO TRACTION IS NOT AN ISSUE, THE WHEEL A BIT IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

FIFTEEN INCH FRONT ROTORS DOWN FROM 60 IN A RESPECTABLE BRAKES WERE STRONG WHILE PEDAL TRAVEL WAS ON INSIDE, TRX IS FAR FROM SPARTAN.

THE BASE MODEL'S AND STANDARD EQUIPMENT IS A 12 INCH TOUCHSCREEN INCLUDING PERFORMANCE AND OPTIONAL TRX PACKAGES DRIVER ASSISTANCE OPTIONS, ALONG WITH LEATHER COVERED AND CARBON FIBER ACCENTS.

A FLAT BOTTOM STEERING WHEEL, ON THE CONSOLE LID, ARE TRX EXCLUSIVES.

AS FOR NUMBER THAT WILL TO BUYERS, STARTS AT $71,690; 17K IN OPTIONS BUMPED OUR UP TO $87,170.

RAM CALLS TRX THE "APEX PREDATOR AND IN A MARKET WHERE THIS T-REX HAS USURPED IN NEARLY EVERY WAY.
