  • 2021 Polestar 2, BMW M3 Touring wagon, “The Batman”: The Week In Reverse

    We took a spin in the 2021 Polestar 2,; the BMW M3 Touring wagon was teased again; and “The Batman” trailer gave us a better look at the upcoming Batmobile. It’s the Week in Reverse, right here at Motor Authority.

    We slid behind the wheel of the 2021 Polestar 2 and found it hits squarely on the brand’s core traits of sustainability, power, performance, and style. It falls short of the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y due to its range and the limitations of its traditional internal combustion engine-based platform, but it’s a great first step in the brand’s move to electric vehicles.

    The 2022 Mercedes-AMG GT 63e 4-Door Coupe was spied undergoing testing on public roads with barely any camouflage. A concealed flap on the production-ready prototype’s rear fascia just below the right taillight was likely a charging point for the plug-in hybrid’s battery pack. Expect the electrified fastback to arrive in dealers next year as a 2022 model with as much as 805 hp.

    BMW released a video of the M3 Touring wagon leaving the M division’s headquarters for testing on public roads. The camouflaged prototype featured the trademark quad exhaust setup out back and tall kidney grilles up front, both of which will be featured on the upcoming M3 and M4.

    We laid out a step-by-step guide on how to correct a vehicle’s paint and then protect it. From claying to buffing to waxing, this guide will teach you how to make your car’s paint look like new again.

    A trailer for “The Batman” was released and it gave our first look at what the new Batmobile will look like on the big screen. Spoiler: It’s part muscle car and part supercar with a rear-engine layout and rad lighting. This sleeker car certainly isn’t the brawny Tumbler.

  • 2021 Ford Bronco, 2021 Ram 1500 TRX, Micheal Jordan’s Mercedes: The Week In Reverse

    We took a ride in the 2021 Ford Bronco; the 2021 Ram 1500 TRX was revealed; and Michael Jordan’s Mercedes-Benz S600 is for sale. It’s the Week in Reverse, right here at Motor Authority.

    We slid into the passenger seat of the 2021 Ford Bronco with veteran Ford engineer Dan Shaffer behind the wheel. Schaffer gave us a taste of what the new Bronco is capable of off-road through sand, water, and hills. It was as good as a ride at Six Flags.

    Our spy photography spotted the 2021 Acura MDX testing on public road in production-ready form. The next-generation MDX will look sportier and should bring the Type-S moniker to the family hauler with a twin-turbo V-6. Expect a design like the attractive new TLX sedan.

    Ram finally unveiled a Hellcat-powered pickup. The 2021 Ram 1500 TRX debuted with 702 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque. With 13 inches of suspension travel up front and 14 inches in the rear, Ram claims the TRX can top 100 mph on road or off.

    We drove the 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class and found the new generation improves everything except for its front-wheel-drive design. The basis for the small luxury crossover SUV still sets the GLA up to be dynamically compromised, but the interior, technology, and comfort are all worthy of the brand.

    A 1996 Mercedes-Benz S600 modified by Lorinser and previously owned by Michael Jordan is for sale on eBay. The listing shows photos of Jordan with the car along with a copy of the original title with Jordan and his wife Juanita as the owners. The built-in car phone cements this car as a 1990s period piece.
