ROCKAUTO HAS AUTO PARTS FROM OFFERING A VARIETY OF BRANDS, ROCKAUTO.COM, ALL THE PARTS YOUR CAR John: COMPACT CARS HAVE COME NO LONGER JUST FOR FIRST TIME NEW CAR BUYERS, JUST ABOUT EVERY COMFORT FOUND ON LARGER FAMILY SEDANS NOW, HYUNDAI'S ELANTRA IN THAT TRANSFORMATION, FOR THEIR COMPACT FOR 2021.

* THIS YEAR SEES THE LAUNCH OF A CAR THAT HAS BEEN A STAPLE SINCE THE EARLY 1990s.

GOING BACK EVEN FURTHER, IN THE U.S. WITH 1986s EXCEL.

BUT, IN THE INTEREST OF SEEING WE GOT AN EARLY START WITH HYUNDAI STELLAR FIRST.

THIS CAVALIER-SIZED SEDAN OF STANDARD EQUIPMENT, A MANUAL CHOKE KNOB.

WE WERE BIG FANS OF ITS LESS SO OF ITS HARD PLASTIC AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT, DESIGNED BY GIUGIARO.

SO, HYUNDAI HAS NEVER BEEN WHEN IT COMES TO STYLING.

THIS NEW ELANTRA SPORTS BUT IS ALSO QUITE AGGRESSIVE WITH A WIDE AND LOW FACE AND CONTINUING THE HYUNDAI A LIST OF STANDARD FEATURES.

STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS, AND EVEN WIRELESS CONNECTION AND ANDROID AUTO ARE ALL SET WELL CRAFTED INTERIOR SPACE.

UPGRADES INCLUDE UPPING FROM 8-10 INCHES, AND A DIGITAL KEY THAT YOUR CAR WITH YOUR SMARTPHONE.

LIMITED TRIM ADS HEATED 10 INCH TOUCHSCREEN WITH AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL, AND A 10 INCH FULL LCD INTERIOR ROOM IS MORE AKIN THAN TRADITIONAL COMPACTS.

THERE'S PLENTY OF ROOM TO THOUGH THE EXPERIENCE IS FEELING HERE.

TRUNK SPACE IS ALSO CAVERNOUS, BUT THE 60/40 SPLIT/FOLDING IN LIMITED AND N LINE, A ONE-PIECE FOLDING BENCH.

MOST ELANTRA'S WILL DRAW POWER 2.0 LITER I4 ENGINE THAT AND 132 POUND-FEET OF TORQUE.

IT WORKS WITH HYUNDAI'S OWN AND OCCUPIES THE MIDDLE TWO NEW ELANTRA OFFERINGS, THAT RATES UP TO 56 MILES AND A 201 HORSEPOWER 1.6 LITER THAT SPORTS EITHER A 7-SPEED DCT THE 2.0 LITER ACHIEVES OF 31-CITY, 41-HIGHWAY, OUR AVERAGE WAS RIGHT ON, OF REGULAR.

THE ENERGY IMPACT SCORE IS AT 9.4 BARRELS OF YEARLY OIL OF CO2 EMISSIONS.

FOR NUMBERS THAT ARE A LITTLE WE HEAD TO MASON DIXON DRAGWAY.

OUR 2.0 LITER EQUIPPED ELANTRA OFF THE LINE, BUT ONCE POWER BEGINS TO BUILD STEADILY.

STILL, 60 TOOK A LENGTHY HYUNDAI'S SMARTSTREAM VARIABLE TRANSMISSION IS ONE ITS SIMULATED SHIFTS EVEN INTO THINKING IT WAS BUT, AT THE END OF THE DAY, CLEARLY PRIORITIZES EFFICIENCY WITH THE QUARTER-MILE TAKING AT 85 MILES PER HOUR.

THE ENGINE CAN SOUND A LITTLE BUT FOR THE MOST PART STAYS IN PANIC BRAKING STOPS, BUT YOU CAN'T ARGUE WITH CONSISTENTLY STRAIGHT, OF JUST 103 FEET.

HYUNDAI HAS CERTAINLY UPPED WHEN IT COMES TO HANDLING.

AND WHILE, THERE'S TOO MUCH TO BE CONSIDERED A SPORTS CAR; THROUGH THE WHEEL, AND ONLY LIMITED TRIM'S 17 INCH WHEELS STILL, IT'S NOT EXACTLY BUT, WHERE IT MATTERS MOST, THE ELANTRA IS VERY COMFORTABLE, AND IS FULLY UP TO DATE WITH SOUNDS LIKE, IT DELIVERS EXACTLY TO DELIVER TO THE THAT THEY'RE INTENDED FOR.

PRICING STARTS AT $20,655, COMING IN AT $26,455.

THE 2021 HYUNDAI ELANTRA IS THE PREVIOUS ELANTRA.

BUT, THAT'S TO BE EXPECTED FOR THE HARSH REALITY HOWEVER, IS ONE IN WHICH HONDA AND TOYOTA A FIRM GRIP AS SALES LEADERS.

THE BEST HYUNDAI CAN HOPE FOR OF THE PACK FOR THIRD PLACE.

DESPITE STIFF COMPETITION, TO BE A BIG SUCCESS, AND TOYOTA ON THEIR TOES.

* IN THE OLD DAYS OF AUTOMOTIVE IN MAGAZINES OR BOOKS WAS THE BUT, IN 2021 THAT KIND OF A FEW THUMB TAPS AWAY.

WELL, OUR RESIDENT MILLENNIAL, WITH A PHOTOGRAPHER WHO'S IN THE DIGITAL AGE.

* Greg Carloss: SOCIAL MEDIA AND THE WAY WE CREATE CASE-IN-POINT, AND THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE WELL, THIS REVOLUTION HAS MADE OF AUTOMOTIVE PHOTOGRAPHERS.

MEET MACE PILLA.

MACE PILLA IS PART OF AS SOCIAL MEDIA WAS RISING SO DESPITE BEING JUST HE'S VERY MUCH AN EXPERT AS AN AUTO-ENTHUSIAST, CAR-RELATED CONTENT HE'S A VLOGGER... Mace Pilla: WELCOME BACK Greg: AND A TIKTOKER..., Mace: I DRIVE A MIATA, SLOW, SLOW, SLOW... Greg: BUT FOR HIM IT'S ALL ABOUT Mace: I THINK, TO MAKE THE PHOTOGRAPHER SCENE AND A LOT OF MY FRIENDS HERE AND REALLY HAVE GROWN AND WE ALL MET EACH OTHER SO IT REALLY CREATES THIS WHOLE Greg: INSTAGRAM HAS EVEN MADE LITERALLY.

THESE USERNAME DECALS INTO A ROLLING BUSINESS CARD LOOK YOU UP AND CHECK OUT YOUR HOPEFULLY LEADING TO MORE Brian Jeng: OF COURSE, AND THE NUMBERS ALL LOOK GOOD, COMES FROM PEOPLE SUPPORTING US AND YOU KNOW...SAYING, Greg: EVEN THOUGH THESE GUYS AND SHARES, THEIR PHOTOGRAPHY AND CREATED CONNECTIONS TO PAY FOR IT.

Mace: SO, PEOPLE WILL "HEY I WANT TO SHOOT, AND TYPICALLY, THEY ARE PAID, WHICH IS KIND OF A TUNER AND THEN I'M ALSO WITH I DO SHOWS FOR THEM FOR THEM AS WELL, JUST WANT THOSE INSTAGRAM Greg: BUT MACE DOESN'T JUST SNAP SOME PICS AND ADD HE'S INVESTED GOOD MONEY IN HIS AND WORKED HARD TO HONE STILL, THE CAMERA ALONE, DOES NOT MAKE AN INSTAGRAM Mace: A LOT OF IT'S EDITING, THE LENS MATTERS AND HOW WITH THE PHOTO MATTERS, WHEN YOU GET IT ON THAT COMPUTER AND MAKE IT LOOK THE WAY THAT THAT'S WHERE THE ARTISTRY Greg: OF COURSE, AND WITH THIS GROUP OF GEARHEADS TO SHOOT.

Mace: RIGHT NOW I WOULD PROBABLY BUT IT'S LEANING MORE TOWARD I WOULD HOPE SO AT LEAST.

IF THE OPPORTUNITY WOULD ARISE AND IT WOULD BE AN AWESOME Greg: EVERY SNAP OF THE SHUTTER TO A CAREER AS A PROFESSIONAL AND SOCIAL MEDIA JUST MAY BE THE John: THERE ARE MANY THINGS TO YOUR CAR AND WATER IS SO, LET'S HEAD ON OVER FOR SOME ABSORBING CAR CARE * Pat Goss: WE GET LOTS OF CARS WITH WATER PROBLEMS.

NOW, THEY HAVE WATER IN SOME OF THAT YOU'VE EVER COULD IMAGINE.

BUT SOME OF THE MORE COMMON WELL THAT'S HEADLIGHTS YOU SEE, WHAT HAPPENS IS THAT MADE OUT OF PLASTIC, AGAINST YOUR CAR WHEN YOU'RE AND THEY DON'T LEAVE A MESSAGE THEY DON'T TELL YOU, UNTIL YOUR LIGHT AND BECOMES AN AQUARIUM, THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM.

NOW THE PROBLEM FREQUENTLY IS THE DIFFERENT PIECES OF PLASTIC NOW, MANY TIMES YOU CAN YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE LAMP OUT, THEN CLEAR RTV SEALANT.

AND YOU SIMPLY SPREAD THAT ALONG AND IT DOESN'T LOOK ALL THAT BAD NOW, THERE'S MORE TO THIS THAN THEMSELVES.

SEE, ON THE BACKS OF THESE YOU'VE GOT ALL TYPES OF WIRES AND WATER CAN ACTUALLY MIGRATE SEVERAL INCHES OR SEVERAL FEET SO YOU WANT TO TAKE CARE ALRIGHT, NOW ANOTHER THING WHEN PEOPLE COME IN, SMELLS A LITTLE MOLDY.

WELL THAT USUALLY MEANS IN THE CAR AND A MOLD PROBLEM A WATER LEAK.

NOW, MORE TYPICAL THINGS BUT HOW DO YOU TELL WHERE?

YOU TAKE THE CARPETING OR OUT OF THE CAR, AND PLACE IT IN EACH OF AND PUSH DOWN ON IT HARD.

THE ONE THAT COMES UP WITH WET THAT'S WHERE YOUR LEAK IS.

THEN, YOU OPEN THE DOOR, A WIRE COAT HANGER, AS WE'VE DONE HERE, STRAIGHT AT THE HOLE, AND TAKE IT UP THROUGH THE DRAIN DIRT GETS IN THERE, AND THE WATER SPILLS ON OVER TO INSTEAD OF RUNNING OUT OVER SO, MANY TIMES YOU CAN SOLVE WITH JUST A LITTLE BIT AND IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION RIGHT HERE AT MOTORWEEK .

John: OUR MOTORWEEK 40TH IS THIS 1970 FORD OWNED BY ROBERT HARMON OF WITH NO DRIVETRAIN, ROB BOUGHT THIS STRIPPED, SHAKER HOOD BEAST IN 1978 HE GOT IT RUNNING THEN, WASN'T COMPLETED TILL JUST SUBMIT PHOTOS OF YOUR PROJECT CONSIDERATION TO... TIME NOW FOR A MOTORNEWS UPDATE Lauren Morrison: DODGE HAS MADE AND DEMON HOUSEHOLD NAMES, ELECTRIC MUSCLE TO THAT LIST.

DODGE USING THIS TEASER VIDEO AN ELECTRIC MUSCLE CAR IN 2024, UNDER WHAT THEY'LL CALL THEY HAVEN'T GIVEN ANY OTHER SO WE'RE LEFT WONDERING IF OF THE CHARGER, CHALLENGER, BUT THE BIGGEST QUESTION WE HAVE WHAT WILL AN ELECTRIC MUSCLE CAR GUESS WE'LL HAVE TO WAIT OVER AT GENERAL MOTORS, CONFIRMING THEIR THIRD IT'LL BE A GMC FULL-SIZE BUT THE AUTOMAKER STOPPED IF IT'LL BE CALLED "SIERRA."

THIS FOLLOWS THE GMC HUMMER EV, DELIVERIES LATER THIS YEAR, AND NEWS OF AN ELECTRIC AND ALL OF THESE EVs WILL SO IT'S A GOOD THING TESLA SAYS, THEIR CHARGING NETWORK TO TESLA CEO ELON MUSK TWEETING THEIR NETWORK OF SUPERCHARGERS LATER THIS YEAR.

THEY HAVE OVER 25,000 AROUND THE WORLD WITH ABOUT IT'S STILL NOT CLEAR, WOULD NEED SOME KIND OF ADAPTER SINCE TESLA HAS A PROPRIETARY AND THE 2021 CHICAGO AUTO SHOW BUT IT STILL PROVIDED A FEW LIKE, THE UPDATED 2022 THE EXTERIOR INCLUDES A NEW REVISED 7-SLOT GRILLE, THE FOCUS OF THE REFRESH, A NEW INSTRUMENT PANEL IS 10.1 INCH CENTER TOUCHSCREEN AND VENTILATED REAR SEATS WILL ON JEEP COMPASS.

AND VOLKSWAGEN BROUGHT THE NEW TO THE SHOW.

BOTH ARE SLIGHTLY LONGER BUT STILL CARRY THE HALLMARKS OF AND THAT DOES IT FOR THIS WEEK'S * WE'VE READ SO MANY BOOKS ABOUT WE THOUGHT WE KNEW EVERYTHING TURNS OUT, THAT WASN'T THE CASE, THE RIDES, ROLES AND REALITIES TAUGHT US MUCH MORE ABOUT MOTORING EXPLOITS, AUTHOR TYLER GREENBLATT DOES ABOUT MCQUEEN'S LIFE IN ACCOMPANIED BY PLENTY OF CANDID SO, WHETHER YOU'RE A FAN OF MCQUEEN THE RACER, OR JUST MORE ABOUT ALL OF THE CARS THIS MUST READ HAS ALL THE FACTS Greg: PERFORMANCE CARS PLACE, AND WE CERTAINLY ASPECTS OF SUVs.

BUT SOMETIMES, INTO THE INVITING COMFORT OF INDEED, WHILE THIS 2021 MORE THAN ENOUGH COMFORT, PLENTY OF PERFORMANCE TO KEEP AND THAT EXTENDS TO DECENT PER GALLON, 2.0 LITER TURBO-4.

IN THE FLEET FOR JUST THE TLX RARELY SITS STILL; HAVING RACKED UP 11,000 MILES THIS 2.0 LITER TURBO IS A SOLID SETUP BOTH AROUND BUT ULTIMATELY I'D SAY FOR THE LATER ONLY BECAUSE, AND 10-SPEED TRANSMISSIONS WHEN YOU'RE STOPPING BUT, AS LONG AS YOU DON'T MIND A GEAR FOR A WHILE AND SLIGHTLY SPORT MODE CAN HELP WITH THAT.

IN OTHER SEDAN-RELATED NEWS, ON OUR LONG-TERM LOT, IT IS THE NEXT BEST THING, STAY TUNED FOR UPDATES ON THAT BUT FIRST, WE'LL BRING YOU UP AND SUBARU CROSSTREK UTILITIES MOTORWEEK LONG-TERM ROAD TEST John: WHEN IT COMES TO THE 718 CAYMAN IS ALWAYS NEAR BUT THE GT4 VERSION IS A FAR FOR THE TRACK THAN CRUISING BUT, SPOILER ALERT, ONE OF OUR FAVORITE THINGS AN AUTOMATIC IN A GT4?

SAY IT ISN'T SO!

* ONE OF THE FEATURES THAT HAS SO SPECIAL IS ITS NOT JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN STILL WHICH IN ITSELF IS FAIRLY BUT THE TRANSMISSION THE SHIFTER THAT CONTROLS IT, POSSIBLY EVEN ONE OF THE SEVEN NOW, THAT MAY BE OVERSELLING IT PUTTING A PDK AUTOMATIC THE 2021 PORSCHE 718 CAYMAN GT4 THE SHIFTER CART.

BUT, BEFORE WE GET INTO ALL A REFRESHER ON WHAT MAKES UP THE CAYMAN IS OF COURSE, OF WHAT BEGAN LIFE AS AND NOW BELONGS TO THE 718 GT REFERS TO THE TRANSFORMATION A DETOUR THROUGH PORSCHE'S GT AND IS THE GATEWAY DRUG TO MORE PORSCHES 911 GT2 AND GT3.

THE CONVERSION INCLUDES ADJUSTABLE CHASSIS WITH 30MM 20-INCH TIRE AND WHEEL PACKAGE, AS WELL AS AERO ENHANCEMENTS FIXED REAR WING, INTEGRATED GURNEY FLAP, FRONT SPLITTER, REAR DIFFUSER, INSIDE, A SPORT STEERING WHEEL, AND FABRIC PULL-LOOPS FOR THE GT4 ALSO DITCHES FOR A 4.0 LITER FLAT-6.

THE NATURALLY-ASPIRATED PANCAKE AND 317 POUND-FEET OF TORQUE; POUND-FEET OVER THE MANUAL.

BUT, THE PDK IS MUCH MORE THAN THE DIFFERENTIAL IS UPGRADED, A PDK SPORT BUTTON REPLACES STEERING WHEEL PADDLE SHIFTERS AND PERHAPS THE BEST PART OF SO YES, THAN INTERACTIVE DRIVING YOU'LL BE HAPPY TO KNOW THAT, THE PDK IS WHAT YOU WANT FOR A TRIP TO MASON DIXON DRAGWAY UNLESS YOU'VE SPENT A LOT OF OR PORSCHE TAYCANS, YOU'LL EXPERIENCE IN THE GT4 AND THE BRUTALITY IN WHICH WILL TRULY ASTONISH YOU.

EVEN WITHOUT ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE, JUST A MAD DASH TO 60 IN WHICH IS INDEED FOUR/TENTHS IN THE MANUAL GT4.

THE MORE THIS ENGINE REVS, AND HEARING THIS ENGINE SING IS DOWNRIGHT MAGICAL.

NOTHING MUCH FOR THE DRIVER AND APPRECIATE THE PDK DOING WITH FIRM, QUICK SHIFTS, TO A 12.0 SECOND QUARTER-MILE NOW, THIS GT4 DOES NOT HAVE ABILITY TO ACTUALLY COMMUNICATE BUT IT SURE FEELS LIKE IT.

UNFORTUNATELY, THE THING THE MOST WAS, OUT HERE FOR THIS?"

WHICH WE INTERPRET TO MEAN, OF A CHALLENGE THAN WHAT OUR COULD PROVIDE.

BASICALLY, THE HARDER YOU GREAT GRIP, NO OVERSTEER, NO UNDERSTEER, AND REALLY NO WAY TO EVEN GET IS TRULY CAPABLE OF.

PORSCHE CERAMIC COMPOSITE BRAKES BUT THESE STANDARD UNITS WORK STOPPING US FROM 60 AWAY FROM THE TRACK, ONLY ADDS TO THE LIVABILITY OF ESPECIALLY IF YOU SPEND MORE THAN YOU DO AT TRACK DAYS.

BUT, NOT ALL OF THE NUMBERS AS OPTING FOR THE PDK ADDS BOTTOM LINE FOR A TOTAL OF THE PDK TRANSMISSION MAY NOT YOUR DRIVING PLEASURE; MORE EFFICIENT, WHO ARE NOT WILLING TO MANAGE ALL TOLD, THE 2021 PORSCHE A PURE JOY TO DRIVE, AND TRULY ONE OF THE MOST IN THE AUTOMOTIVE THEME PARK.

WELL, THAT'S OUR SHOW, NOW FOR MORE MOTORWEEK ; PODCASTS, CRUISE ON OVER TO AND I HOPE YOU'LL JOIN US WHEN WE'LL CLIMB TO LOFTY REVAMPED QX80 FULL-SIZE SUV, SORENTO UTILITY GETS TIL' THEN, I'M JOHN DAVIS, WE'LL SEE YOU RIGHT HERE ON Announcer: TO LEARN MORE ABOUT TELEVISION'S ORIGINAL AUTOMOTIVE MOTORWEEK HAS BEEN BROUGHT YOU'RE SHOPPING FOR TIRES ONLINE "I DO."
