On The Road 7/16: 2021 Lexus UX250h
By Peter Perrotta In this post-pandemic world, shortages seem to be the new normal. Not only are there shortages of new and used vehicles, but the gas used to run most of these cars is currently in short supply as well. As the prices at the pump seem to be going up each day, consumers…

On The Road 7/9: 2021 VW Atlas Cross Sport V6
By Peter Perrotta If there is anyone who knows about being “cross cultural,” it’s me. My parents came from as many different backgrounds as can be. My dad’s family is rooted in a small Italian village, Esperia, nestled about 30 miles or so to the southwest of Rome. My mom’s family is Jewish and immigrated…

On The Road 7/2: 2021 Lincoln Nautilus Black Label AWD
By Peter Perrotta Back in the day, when I lived in the Bronx during the ’60s, you were either a Lincoln Continental fan or a Cadillac Coupe DeVille aficionado when it came to your cruiser of choice.

On The Road 6/11: 2022 Kia Carnival SX Prestige
By Peter Perrotta I pulled into my local Wawa convenience store recently driving this week’s review vehicle. I parked in one of those spots that’s supposedly reserved for curbside pickup customers only.

On the Road: 2022 Infiniti QX55 Sensory AWD
By Peter Perrotta The automotive landscape is literally littered with crossover models these days. Every manufacturer has at lease two or three or even four crossovers in their lineups. These popular relative neophytes to the industry aren’t quite full high off the ground SUVs. Neither are they low to the ground traditional sedans, either. Rather,…

On The Road 5/28: 2021 BMW X5 xdrive45e
By Peter Perrotta If you ask me what my favorite car to drive is, I would have to confess, it’s a BMW. I sold Mercedes for several years, so that confession doesn’t come easy. But, as far as pure driving ability and nothing else, BMW fits what I like to feel when I’m behind the…

On The Road 5/21: 2021 Mercedes-Maybach GLS600 4matic
By Peter Perrotta Some of us have dream jobs, others own dream cars. I’ve never owned a dream car, but for many years when I was a full-time working journalist, I was working my dream job – I was getting paid to be a writer. Sometime in the early 2000s – my memory is a…
