The intro was composed by Mark Roumelis. It is different than his 1987 piece. He would later take over for composing music again in 1987, and his piece is still heard today. The Motorshop segment featured Craig Singhaus, which was later renamed to Goss' Garage with Pat Goss. What's New On Wheels was also first seen. This segment would later be continued. Joyce Braga was the Road Test Drive, later becoming the presenter for What's New On Wheels. The unaired pilot was shot in 1980.[2]
