On The Road 11/6: 2021 Chevy Trailblazer AWD RS
By Peter Perrotta The first thing you can’t fail to notice about the 2021 Chevy Trailblazer RS AWD that I recently drove for one week is its striking color: Oasis Blue. If I were naming it – and I am sure the folks at Chevy are glad that I’m not – I would’ve opted for…

On The Road 10/30: 2021 Subaru Crosstrek Limited
By Peter Perrotta It’s hard to live down your reputation once it has been achieved. You know, we all have that “frugal” friend who has earned his or her reputation by accounting for every penny when it comes time to chip in to pay the bill at the diner. Much the same can be said…

On The Road 10/23: 2020 Corvette Stingray Convertible
By Peter Perrotta In 1953, the engineers and designers at Chevrolet introduced to the world the first generation Corvette – a two seat convertible sports car that was supposed to “wow” the American consumer.

On The Road 10/2: 2020 Nissan Sentra SV
By Peter Perrotta Nissan has been making Sentras for 38 years. That’s a nice run for this compact entry level model. Ever wonder where these car makers come up with the names for these models?

On The Road 9/18: 2020 Chevrolet Silverado Crew LTZ 4WD
By Peter Perrotta One of the most iconic pieces of Americana is the Chevy Pickup truck. Chevrolet has been selling factory produced pickup trucks for almost nine decades – 89 years. Of course, the various shapes and sizes of Chevy’s modern day pickups are nothing compared to the very simple models that first hit the…

On The Road 9/11: 2020 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid
By Peter Perrotta If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck … guess what? It’s a duck. Why try to disguise it? When I see those television commercials for minivans that try and make it seem cool for the average soccer mom or dad to be driving a minivan, I just shake…
