On the Road: 2023 BMW Z4 M40i
By Peter Perrotta The roadster has long captured the imagination of the motoring public for decades. Who hasn’t dreamed about putting the soft top down on a fancy two-seater and heading out on the highway on a sun lit day with no particular place to go.

On The Road: 2024 GMC Sierra 2500 Denali
By Peter Perrotta We live in some strange times, no doubt. Perhaps nothing stranger than what we presently consider luxury items.

On the Road: 2023 Mazda CX-9 Signature AWD
By Peter Perrotta The three-row family SUV (sport utility vehicle) is a popular segment representing a crowded field that is tough to compete in.
