00:21:10.817 Time now for Jeff's feature of the week. 00:21:16.105 --> 00:21:16.566 There we go. 00:21:16.566 --> 00:21:17.768 Hennon, farina GT and Enigma, here you go. 00:21:17.768 --> 00:21:19.090 So what's going on here is it is an Enigma. 00:21:19.090

--> 00:21:20.493 This vehicle measures 14.8 feet long. 00:21:20.493 --> 00:21:25.432 It's 6.4 feet wide, 4 feet tall, and it is the Enigma GT. 00:21:25.432 --> 00:21:27.861 Standout features lie in its wheelbase. 00:21:27.861 --> 00:21:30.326 Just the wheelbase alone is 10 feet. 00:21:30.326 --> 00:21:45.458 It's the 2 plus 2 interior, with hydrogen fuel internal combustion engine nestled in a central rear area, enhancing aero dynamics, paired with an electric motor up front, this prototype boosts all-wheel drive traction for a sporty ride. 00:21:45.458 --> 00:21:48.314 But what it really catches is your eye. 00:21:48.314 --> 00:21:49.750 It's the unique cabin entry. 00:21:49.750 --> 00:21:58.951 While it may look like your standard scissor door setup, the entire roof lifts, offering an unparalleled panoramic view for occupants. 00:21:59.553 --> 00:22:02.915 The Pininfarina hasn't revealed a new car. 00:22:02.915 --> 00:22:04.997 It has revealed everything. 00:22:04.997 --> 00:22:11.563 Check that out the Italian coach builder with a long list of chassis In their classic designs. 00:22:11.563 --> 00:22:13.686 The new entry is contemporary. 00:22:13.686 --> 00:22:16.916 It's a GT capable of blending unique characteristics. 00:22:16.916 --> 00:22:25.318 The dash and windscreen all lift as one and once on board you'll spot the OLED screen an aerodynamically inspired dash. 00:22:25.318 --> 00:22:30.457 Sustainable material choices augment the reality in the windscreen. 00:22:30.457 --> 00:22:47.765 There's lots of AI, of course, and lots of driver assistance Proving necessary, considering the unique characteristics of the powertrain the 2.5-liter V6 engine on board, powered here not by petrol, but by hydrogen, mike. 00:22:47.785 --> 00:22:48.548 The petrol is gas. 00:22:48.548 --> 00:22:50.734 On your end, I'll just let you know, thank you. 00:22:50.734 --> 00:22:57.316 The engine alone kicks out 435 horsepower and has but one job the power. 00:22:57.316 --> 00:23:02.694 The rear axle only, so you're only going to get the power from the ice engine to the back. 00:23:02.694 --> 00:23:15.267 Powering the front axle is a 200 horsepower electric motor powered by a 10 kilowatt battery, which together gives the new Enigma that's right, all-wheel drive, because that's what you want in it. 00:23:15.267 --> 00:23:18.489 Together gives the new Enigma that's right, all-wheel drive, because that's what you want in it. 00:23:18.489 --> 00:23:28.712 It also features the lower, the height of the bonnet, which is the front area of the vehicle, because the e-motors are smaller than the engine and thus the car with optimum aerodynamic coefficient. 00:23:29.353 --> 00:23:31.193 So it's not too massive. 00:23:31.193 --> 00:23:37.356 The long wheelbase, the truth, is fraction bigger than the BMW 3 Series, which should give you an idea of the size. 00:23:37.356 --> 00:23:42.358 It's not too heavy, the concept weighing in at around 3,726 pounds. 00:23:42.358 --> 00:23:45.579 So lots of expectation atop the streamlined physique. 00:23:45.579 --> 00:23:50.981 On one hand, it nods to the reimagined kind of car we all want to rediscover. 00:23:50.981 --> 00:23:52.782 We talked about that for auto shows. 00:23:52.782 --> 00:23:53.923 That's where this should be. 00:23:53.923 --> 00:23:56.465 So there you go. 00:23:56.465 --> 00:23:57.028 It's a very cool car. 00:23:57.028 --> 00:23:58.309 Hopefully they'll build it someday. 00:23:58.309 --> 00:24:01.057 Uh, I'm excited they ain't gonna build it. 00:24:01.176 --> 00:24:04.534 No, but it's, it's something it sure is nice to look at. 00:24:04.534 --> 00:24:10.652 Yep, absolutely all right time now on the in-wheel time car talk show for this hour's car review. 00:24:10.692 --> 00:24:21.855 Mr mars driving the buick invista everybody pay attention, yeah, pay attention this is the 2025 buick invista comes in three trim levels. 00:24:21.855 --> 00:24:29.556 It comes in the preferred, the sport touring and the avenue avenue avenue, and we were driving the sport touring. 00:24:29.556 --> 00:24:31.205 Now all trim levels are front wheel drive. 00:24:31.205 --> 00:24:33.471 All wheel drive is not available in this vehicle. 00:24:33.471 --> 00:24:36.877 Now it's classified as a small station wagon. 00:24:36.877 --> 00:24:39.212 Now in marketing terms that's called a small SUV. 00:24:39.212 --> 00:24:42.150 Now it seats five people. 00:24:43.232 --> 00:24:44.777 It's sculpted. 00:24:44.777 --> 00:24:46.230 It's kind of a sculpted car. 00:24:46.230 --> 00:24:47.374 It's one of those. 00:24:47.374 --> 00:24:49.573 It's not really a hatchback, it's not really a liftback. 00:24:49.573 --> 00:24:51.633 It's got a very sloped back to it. 00:24:51.633 --> 00:24:59.529 But the passenger area the front passengers in particular, they set. 00:24:59.529 --> 00:25:00.152 It's very tall. 00:25:00.152 --> 00:25:02.519 It's got a lot of headroom in it, so it's kind of a tall car in that regard. 00:25:02.519 --> 00:25:05.729 It's got a great body color, the one we happen to be driving. 00:25:05.729 --> 00:25:07.954 The the door handles were body color. 00:25:07.954 --> 00:25:10.185 It's got black trim all the way around it. 00:25:10.185 --> 00:25:18.079 It's got the thin design led headlighting up front, daytime running lights, taillights, all LEDs. 00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:20.814 Now it does have a manual liftgate on it. 00:25:20.814 --> 00:25:28.452 So that was kind of different concerning the things that we've been driving, but it's no big deal and it does have the new logo up front. 00:25:28.452 --> 00:25:29.830 A lot of people noticed that. 00:25:29.830 --> 00:25:31.892 I'm not really sure why. 00:25:31.892 --> 00:25:33.371 It's basically the same one. 00:25:33.371 --> 00:25:39.585 They changed the coloring, but a lot of people really noticed that we had the 18-inch black aluminum wheels, so it was a nice contrast. 00:25:39.826 --> 00:25:41.511 The Tri-Shield logo. 00:25:41.712 -->

00:25:44.669 Yes, One thing I did notice. 00:25:44.669 --> 00:25:48.837 I wanted to notice that on we were drooling, like I say, the 18-inch black aluminum wheels. 00:25:48.837 --> 00:25:56.219 The Monroney said we had a compact spare wheel and we had a compact spare tire. 00:25:56.219 --> 00:25:58.349 Two different listings on the sheet. 00:25:58.349 --> 00:26:00.717 I'm not sure why A tire and a wheel, and a wheel. 00:26:01.547 --> 00:26:02.770 I bet you they go together. 00:26:03.272 --> 00:26:06.854 Well, I don't know, but it was kind of unusual to read that they're separate. 00:26:07.626 --> 00:26:08.557 Here's both of them. 00:26:08.557 --> 00:26:09.144 Put them together. 00:26:09.184 --> 00:26:10.891 You can buy one or the other when you buy the car. 00:26:10.911 --> 00:26:11.673 That's it Okay. 00:26:15.644 --> 00:26:16.667 Had the leatherette seat seating trim we had. 00:26:16.667 --> 00:26:17.609 The optional front seats were heated. 00:26:17.609 --> 00:26:29.711 The rear seat is a 60 40s folding that folds down, uh, the vent, the monitor that goes across the dash it's actually two, but the way they've got it set up it looks like one 19 inch screen across there. 00:26:29.711 --> 00:26:30.933 It's 11 inch touchscreen. 00:26:30.933 --> 00:26:43.739 That's got all your nav, your convenience controls, your infotainment system, but the driver out of that has an eight inch driver uh information center right in front of me, but it kind of rolls together across the dash to look like one big one. 00:26:44.060 --> 00:26:46.087 The other thing I noticed about in the technology the. 00:26:46.087 --> 00:26:52.307 It is bluetooth, apple carplay, android, but the bluetooth will connect two devices on bluetooth. 00:26:52.307 --> 00:26:53.711 A lot of cars won't do that. 00:26:53.711 --> 00:26:56.316 So it's, you know, you got your one, that's it. 00:26:56.316 --> 00:27:01.855 This one will do two and it's got front USBs, rear USB charging. 00:27:02.096 --> 00:27:08.407 Only One thing I liked about this particular thing a lot of cars, particularly the last two EVs, I've been driving. 00:27:08.407 --> 00:27:11.050 When I got out of it I came back to it. 00:27:11.050 --> 00:27:15.492 I had to log back in my phone, log back into Apple CarPlay. 00:27:15.492 --> 00:27:19.513 This one, it's still in my pocket. 00:27:19.513 --> 00:27:25.019 I hadn't done anything, I hadn't even backed out of the driveway, and it found it and I thought that was very intuitive on the part of the system. 00:27:25.019 --> 00:27:36.682 Under the hood we had a 1.2 liter turbo, three-cylinder, 137 horsepower, 162 pound-feet of torque, backed by a six-speed automatic transmission. 00:27:36.682 --> 00:27:40.019 Now this vehicle only weighs 3,060 pounds. 00:27:40.019 --> 00:27:45.938 Epa says you should get 28 miles to the gallon in the city, epa 32, combined 30. 00:27:45.938 --> 00:27:50.902 Now I drove 307.5 miles and I got 30 miles per gallon average across that. 00:27:50.902 --> 00:27:54.640 Nice it was really, and there was highway miles included. 00:27:54.640 --> 00:28:00.143 Now I thought to me it had sportier handling than what you might expect from a Buick. 00:28:00.143 --> 00:28:05.295 It's not a race car by any means, but you could drive it Round curves pretty good. 00:28:05.295 --> 00:28:07.297 Felt like you were really driving something. 00:28:07.369 --> 00:28:09.056 It's relatively quiet out on the road. 00:28:09.056 --> 00:28:14.701 Even with a three-cylinder it's got its own little noise to it, but it's nothing you can't live with. 00:28:14.701 --> 00:28:17.619 Just talk to somebody and everything's all good. 00:28:18.711 --> 00:28:24.255 Here's what the motor sounds like hey, don't be dissing it Not quite like that. 00:28:24.275 --> 00:28:25.557 Yeah, come on. 00:28:25.739 --> 00:28:29.186 But all in all, I was very happy to be driving this vehicle. 00:28:29.186 --> 00:28:29.728 I'm glad you're happy. 00:28:29.748 --> 00:28:30.509 It's very pleasant to drive. 00:28:30.931 --> 00:28:34.240 Now the base model on this is $23,700. 00:28:34.240 --> 00:28:35.063 That's amazing. 00:28:35.063 --> 00:28:36.750 Base trim price is $2,400. 00:28:36.750 --> 00:28:42.059 Now, as tested, $2,780. 00:28:42.059 --> 00:28:42.682 Still Nice. 00:28:42.682 --> 00:28:45.929 As tested 27,780. 00:28:45.929 --> 00:28:46.250 Still nice. 00:28:46.250 --> 00:28:48.030 Now. 00:28:48.030 --> 00:28:51.210 This includes a six-year 70,000-mile roadside assistance warranty and one year of free maintenance on that thing. 00:28:51.210 --> 00:28:53.897 Now you're looking for something to compare it to. 00:28:53.897 --> 00:28:56.109 The Chevrolet Trax starts at about $20,400. 00:28:56.109 --> 00:28:58.789 Mazda CX-30, $24,995. 00:28:58.789 --> 00:29:00.109 Kia Soul at $22,900. 00:29:00.109 --> 00:29:11.410 But the things that you're going to find in this vehicle, the little bit of technology that it's got, the way it works, the way it drives I was really impressed with this vehicle. 00:29:11.410 --> 00:29:16.849 In fact, I showed it to two of my kids my daughter and one of her granddaughters. 00:29:16.849 --> 00:29:20.809 When you get ready to buy a new car, you need to look at something like this for this price. 00:29:20.809 --> 00:29:24.737 Don't be out here looking at $50,000 cars Straight out of college. 00:29:24.910 --> 00:29:26.736 Yeah, because daddy's going to buy that. 00:29:27.136 --> 00:29:28.842 Yeah, or grandpa Somebody. 00:29:28.842 --> 00:29:37.096 But I thought, you know, I could see this being something that somebody coming out of college, a family just getting started, this would be a car you could buy. 00:29:37.096 --> 00:29:40.473 You could afford to buy it, make the payments and you're going to get a nice vehicle out of it. 00:29:40.473 --> 00:29:41.884 The payments and you're going to get a nice vehicle out of it. 00:29:41.884 --> 00:29:48.971 It's got that Buick level of quality in an SUV or a station wagon, excuse me as
