Another car with more than 600 horsepower has just been introduced, and we’ll tell you all about it in this edition of America on the Road. Not only will the 2022 BMW Alpina B8 Gran Coupe jet from zero to 60 mph in 3.3 seconds, but it will do it in uncommon style and comfort.
While BMW is introducing another new supercar, Consumer Reports is picking a fight with BMW competitor Tesla Motors. According to Consumer Reports, it is troubled by potential privacy issues prompted by Tesla’s use of in-car cameras to video drivers and their behavior. Tesla says the video footage is designed to help it understand its vehicles’ performance better, but the video might prove embarrassing or worse to some Tesla drivers if it were to surface. Both co-host Chris Teague and host Jack Nerad will offer their opinions on the controversy.
In the road test segment, Chris Teague will tell us all about the 2021 Mercedes-AMG E53 sedan. It offers amazing performance and subtle good looks, but are the right people buying them?
Also in the road test segment, Jack Nerad talks about his evaluation of the hot new 2021 Mazda Mazda3 Turbo. With as much as 250 horsepower on tap, the compact car reaches stellar new heights.
