On The Road 6/25: 2021 Lincoln Corsair AWD Reserve
By Peter Perrotta I must preface this week’s review by telling a funny story. Way back when, in my college days at Syracuse University – Go Orange! – I purchased a used Lincoln Continental from one of my brother’s friends. It was a beautiful, big cruiser type sedan with a fantastic upgraded sound system. Late…

On The Road 6/18: 2021 GMC Yukon Denali 4WD
By Peter Perrotta When I first looked at this week’s review vehicle, a diesel engine 2021 GMC Yukon Denali 4WD, it immediately reminded me of my selling days at the Mercedes dealership. Back then – 2015 – it was more than obvious to most of the sales associates that one of the best overall value…

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.

By Peter Perrotta If you live in New Jersey you already know that when it comes to cars and music our biggest ambassador is The Boss himself – Mr. Bruce Springsteen. One of the many gems he penned was Pink Cadillac. A small bit of that song proclaims: “I love you for your pink Cadillac.…

On The Road 4/23: 2021 Subaru Forester Sport
By Peter Perrotta If the 2021 Subaru Forester were a football player, it would most definitely be an all-purpose running back.

On The Road 4/16: 2021 Mercedes GLB250 4matic SUV
By Peter Perrotta Just about 7 years ago, when I was selling Mercedes Benz automobiles, a representative from the German automakers North American headquarters gave a presentation to our sales crew on where the product lineup was heading.
