EAST HADDAM, CT – If tie-dyed T-shirts, bell bottoms and Farrah Fawcett hairdos happen to be your cup of tea, then the sunset-inspired 2025 Ford Bronco Sport Free Wheeling package could be your ticket back to the bohemian days of yore. But you’ll need to be comfortable going your own …

EAST HADDAM, CT – Subaru has jump-started its earth conscious commitment to all things green, and given its dealers a calling card with which to appease its environmentally friendly customer base, with the 2024 Solterra EV model.

EAST HADDAM, CT – The company claims that the Volvo C40 Recharge provides “Responsible Pleasure.” The truth is that while it often does, it sometimes doesn’t. The C40 is the smallest Volvo crossover, while the Recharge model is all electric. With ever-conscientious Swedish spirit, Volvo very much markets its environmentally-friendly …

EAST HADDAM, CT – For me, getting in the 2025 Land Rover Defender was the equivalent of putting my hand in a fine leather glove. It immediately fit just right, felt just right, and provided a view of the world around which was also just right. Like the Jeep which …
