    On The Road 12/20: 2020 Mercedes Benz G 63 SUV

    By: Peter Perrotta There was a time a few years back when – as the saying goes – your local Mercedes dealership in the U.S. literally couldn’t give their G wagons away. I know this for a fact, because I sold them for six years. The dealerships would get one or two G 550’s or…

    On the Road 12/6: 2019 Mazda 6 Signature Edition

    By: Peter Perrotta Are mid-sized sedans like middle children – to be seen, but not heard from? Of being a middle child, Hollywood actress Jennifer Garner says, “I am the model middle child. I am patient and I like to take care of everyone. Being called nice is a compliment. It’s not a boring way…

    On the Road 11/29: 2020 Toyota Corolla XSE

    By Peter Perrotta If it’s true – like the old song says – that 50 million Frenchmen can’t be wrong, then can 46 million Toyota Corolla buyers also be wrong? I don’t think so.

    On the Road 11/15: Looking at the 2020 Nissan Altima Platinum 2.0

    By Peter Perrotta I try not to get too technical with these reviews. I like keeping it down to earth, offering up a conversational style, which is not something you would find in the typical car enthusiast magazine. However, from time-to-time this calling necessitates that technicalities must be introduced. Enter the 2020 Nissan Altima 2.0…

    On the Road 11/8: Looking at the 2020 Chevrolet Traverse High Country

    By Peter Perrotta As I navigate the 2020 Chevrolet Traverse High Country through the postcard perfect side roads of the Pocono Mountains, I am reminded of Muhammad Ali’s famous quote. “Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.

    On the Road 11/1: 2020 Subaru Outback Limited XT

    By Pete Perrotta My mission was quite simple. As the rain pelted down this one fine Saturday my wife proclaimed, “I’m not driving in this weather today.” Translation: I was being nominated to take her and my mother-in-law grocery shopping in the 2020 Subaru Outback Limited XT. There would be the traditional three stops: Sprouts (an organic…
