Episode Details

A performance crossover might not be everyone’s can of Red Bull. Some might suggest a performance CUV is akin to the world’s tallest midget, but this week co-host Chris Teague took the wheel of the hot-to-trot AMG GLC 43 in the teeth of yet another frigid Maine winter, and he’s ready to report on his finding in this edition on of America on the Road.

Meanwhile, the figurative elephant in the room is the arrival of 47th President Donald Trump and his sweeping executive orders that include a radical — and some might add welcome — change in America’s automotive emissions and fuel economy regulations. With the stroke of a Sharpie, the once-and-current President rescinded rules that essentially forced carmakers to build and, more importantly, sell electric vehicles. The result of this and the new Administration’s accompanying energy policy promise to significantly change how the auto industry operates and — more importantly — what you’ll be able to buy. We’ll have the details.

We’ll also have an exclusive interview with Dodge Brand CEO Matt McAlrear, just as his brand is introducing its first battery-electric vehicle, the 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona. Host Jack Nerad recently talked with McAlear at length about the future of the beloved Dodge brand, and we’ll have that discussion for you.
