The Forbes Hill Task Force(FHTF) voted last week on sev-eral recommendations at the nextTown Meeting (TM) regardingthe Forbes Hill Mansion Prop-erty.

Firstly, the FHTF recom-mended that the Town sell theproperty.

“There’s no practical munici-pal use for the property,” saidFHTF member Bill Plasko.

The FHTF voted to make atwo-part recommendation to theTown. The first is that it be soldand secondly that, after approvalof such a TM Warrant, that a zon-ing overlay district be created forthe property.

“We should keep those twothings separate,” said FHTFmember Alan Howard. “Hope-fully, we can convince them thatthat’s the way to go.”

The Town purchased the landlast year For $13 million to stopa proposed 260 apartment com-

plex from being built by a devel-oper under the Chapter 40B stat-ute. The Task Force was createdto figure out what the Townshould do with the property.

Plasko said they have hadfeelers from companies that maybe interested in the property. Heargued and the FHTF generallyagreed that there should be veryfew restrictions on the propertyin hopes of generating higher of-fers. After further discussion,only two restrictions were ap-proved. The first is that there

should be no auto business useand the second be there shouldbe no asphalt production.

The Task Force discussed andgenerally agreed that a densityand number of unit restrictioncould be placed on the property,but that it should be managed byTown Counsel. Plasko said thatthey probably don’t want to gomore than 175 units for a resi-dential use.

“Some of the indications thatwe got before us is if we want

anything close to what we paidfor (the land) we have to bearound 175 units,” Plasko said,but added that if the Town wantsfewer units and less money, it canvote that way. “But if we thinkwe don’t want that kind of den-sity, it’s a fact of life... We couldput a deed restriction on it sopeople who are buying wouldknow that’s what they wouldhave to do to develop it.”

ZBAZBAZBAZBAZBAContinued on page 7

The Norwood ZBA metTuesday evening and discussedfour items on the docket, themost notable of which was a re-quest from the Norwood Hos-pital (NH) to place signs on itsproperty.

The request, from NH Direc-tor of Marketing KimberlyKelley and attorney David HernJr., was to allow the hospital toplace signs on the Draper Build-ing for no longer than a year andto place signs on the light postson the hospital side of Washing-ton Street (which are owned bythe hospital and not the town)for no longer than six months.

Hern said the request cameabout after a previous meetingin which ZBA members andresidents expressed concern re-garding the time and scope ofthe signage. Hern said they cameback with these and severalmore conditions to placate resi-dents’ fears that they might beout for extended periods of timeand make the area look “tacky,”as resident Judith Howard said.

Hern said the idea that thehospital could leave signs out foran extended period of time – forexample past one year or sixmonths depending – was not fea-sible from their side. He said thesigns would be to inform thecommunity of awards won bythe hospital, which he said havea shelf life as annual awards, andwould not be permissible tokeep up after a year because the

awarding organization wouldnot allow it.

“So it costs a little bit to getthose signs together and getthem hung, so once you winthem, you want to be able tohang them up for a while,” hesaid. “They’re licensed for aparticular period. If you get anaward for 2018, you don’t getto leave it up for five years...That’s what we’re asking for onthe side of the Draper Building.”

Hern said the hospital’s cen-tennial is coming up and that’sthe main reason they want to getauthorization to put up signs.There was a hitch in the plans,however. The hospital was re-questing that the signs be autho-rized to go up whenever the hos-pital wished with, as proposedby Hern, a notification to theTown and no required authori-zation.

The hospital did put in itsproposed conditions that the ap-propriate Town official (perhapsthe building inspector) be incharge of deciding whether asign is in good condition anddoes not detract from the area’sprestige. He said this would al-low any resident to call theTown and alert Norwood Build-ing Inspector Mark Chubet as toany problems with a sign, andthen Chubet would decidewhether the sign would stay upor not.

“We think Mr. Chubet is al-ways a good judge,” Hern said.“I think the hospital would cer-tainly have to keep an eye onthings, but if someone didn’t like

the look of something theywould call the building inspec-tor.”

ZBA Chair PatrickMulvehill and Member PhilipRiley said they did have someconcern with just giving the hos-pital essentially a carte blanchewhen it comes to putting upsigns.

“I’m leery of saying put upwhatever you want wheneveryou want to,” said Riley. “I don’tlike that.”

Hern said the hospital, now afor-profit company owned bySteward Medical, wanted essen-tially to show off awards for brag-ging rights for the staff and as amorale booster for the staff, thepatients and the patients’ fami-lies. Resident Fred Meyer said,however, that because the hospi-tal is now a commercial entity, ifthe ZBA allowed them this abil-ity to put up signs whenever thehospital administration wanted toshow off an award, what wouldstop any business from doing so?

“It’s no longer a nonprofit, it’sa commercial enterprise and Ithink it opens up for the town toallow other commercial enter-prises to use temporary signage”Meyer said. “I don’t think thehospital has properly advertisedin any of the five newspapers inTown, which I’m sure the news-papers would love to have. Theboard has to be careful who theyallow signage for, particularlynow that they’re (hospital) acommercial operation.”

Selectmen unfreezeTown Hall project

Amanda WAmanda WAmanda WAmanda WAmanda WebstebstebstebstebsterererererStaff Reporter

The Board of Selectmen’sTuesday night meeting had afull agenda as two public hear-ings and two appointments ledto a meeting that lasted just overtwo hours.

Selectman Paul Bishop wasnot in attendance at Tuesday’smeeting.

One of the two appoint-ments scheduled on the on theagenda was Francis Hopcroft ofthe Permanent Building Con-struction Committee (PBCC).During a previous meeting ofthe PBCC, Hopcroft volun-teered to act as a liaison be-tween the Board of Selectmenand his own committee in aneffort to bridge the gap of com-munication between the twogroups regarding renovations toTown Hall.

Hopcroft spoke briefly ofthe St. Gabriel’s Chapel resto-ration project, updating the se-lectmen on the project thus farbefore moving on to talk aboutthe halted Town Hall renova-tions.

“With respect to this reno-vation in this building, we’re ata standstill. We’re prepared tocontinue the work that we havealready contracted for assum-ing we can get our contractorback,” he said.

“They’ve (the project archi-tect and engineer) have beensitting around for about threeweeks now, so there’s been anissue in terms of how quicklywe can get them back on theproject,” he said.

Before renovations werehalted, Hopcroft stated that$51,000 had already been spenton engineering plans for thebuilding. The $51,000 is out ofa $123,000 engineering analy-sis contract. Town Meeting hadappropriated $900,000 for theproject as a whole.

“We need to have the infor-mation that we’re looking to getbefore we can provide any rec-ommendations on how to pro-ceed,” said Hopcroft.

Selectman Helen AbdallahDonohue questioned Hopcrofton why the engineering assess-ments were necessary, stating

that Town Hall is “just an oldbuilding”.

“I wish it were that simple,”stated Hopcroft. “We need tounderstand what it is about thesystems that are not function-ing, what it is about the systemsthat need to be upgraded.”

Selectman William Plaskoexplained that he had been con-cerned that the work the PBCChad been doing regarding therenovation project would bemore extensive than what wasoriginally agreed.

“I still believe it’s beyondthe scope of what we originallytalked about, but I also believe,after further discussion, that it’sa scope we now need to reallygo forward with. If we’re go-ing to be doing it we need to bedoing it right,” said Plasko ofthe analysis report.

After a bit more discussionthe board asked that the PBCCproceed with the engineeringand discovery phase of theproject, and continue the con-tracted analysis work.

The board also approved awine and malt beverage licensefor the Grass Roots Culturaland Performing Arts Center.The music oriented non-profitis located at 61 Endicott St.

“We hold some live eventsand during those live events wefilm a weekly television show.We broadcast that live from thestudio and the wine and maltbeverage license is just really away for us to stay a little bitprofitable,” said Bill Hurley,executive director.

Vice President Steve Kitayemphasized that the licensewould be a way to attract pa-trons to the establishment, butneighbors should not worryabout any rowdy behaviorfrom performers or guests.

“We’re not a bar; we’re noteven a typical music venue.We’re open a number of timesa month, maybe twice a week,sometimes three but nevermore than that,” he said.“We’re older folks; we don’thave the energy to make thisa full-time establishment”.

“Not in the past or in thefuture is there ever an inten-tion of turning this into anightly establishment. Wehave a self-disciplined curfew

of 10:30 p.m. and in the eventsover the course of this year Idon’t think we’ve ever comeclose to 10:30,” said Hurley.

Donohue inquired if thebeverage license could havean 11:00 p.m. curfew sincethe venue does not typicallyhave performances past 10p.m., to which the artscenter ’s representativesagreed.

The board then unani-mously approved the licenserequest.

The next Board of Select-men meeting will be held onTuesday, Sept. 4.

I continually come acrossa charge for $6.77/per monththat I’ve never noticed before.

What is this? Sociallity,Florida? I call the number andit turns out that I (unknow-ingly) signed up for a “trial”period. Just what doesSociallity do? They offerhealth care savings, doctors,dentists, etc. They are inFlorida and Fairfield, NewJersey.

LOOKING FORWARDTO CHRISTMAS MUSIC

To The Editor: I was delighted to

hear Town ManagerMazzucco say on local cableTV that he wants to bringsome Christmas music to thetown center during the up-coming season, which isonly four months away. Hav-ing l ived in Taunton formany years, I always lookedforward to the music thatresidents could enjoy in thecenter of that city as theywent about their businessduring the busy holiday sea-son. Thank you Mr.Mazzucco, and we hope thatyou are able to implementthat plan without a lot of thehemming and hawing thatwe usually associate with allthings Norwood.

DEMOCRATS NEED TOTHINK BEFORE VOTING

To The Editor:Since we are nearing the

national mid-term elections, Iam incredulous at the numberof registered Democrats whothink a Socialist America is agood idea. As one commenta-tor (maybe Churchill?) said:“Socialism is a great idea untilyou run out of everybody’smoney”. This is no better high-lighted than the new rock starof the Democratic Party –Ocasio-Cortez. One examplewas that she stated that every-body should have free healthcare. Estimated cost: $32 Tril-lion over 10 years or $3.2 Tril-lion per year. When asked howshe would pay for it, she said:we will eliminate the $700 bil-lion defense budget per year,which will leave a deficit of$2.7 Trillion per year. Pleasenote that there is a T and a Bhere – that is, there are 1,000billions in a Trillion. Our cur-rent debt is $21 Trillion, whichis an outrageous debt to leaveto your kids. Ocasio-Cortez’sridiculous ideas, in just thiscase, would increase a crazydebt by 15% in one year! It isscary that people would vote forher. By the way, she grew up inwealthy Westchester County inNY, but moved to the Bronxbecause she probably couldn’tget 100 votes in Westchester.Remember, these socialist ge-niuses will pay for housing,wages, and education also.

My understanding is 1960’shippies are now the tenuredprofessors, and basic econom-ics and true history have beendropped in favor of social jus-tice warriors who can’t thinktheir way out of wet paper bag.Ocasio-Cortez has been offered$10,000 and up to $100,000 togo to either her campaign or herfavorite charity for a one-hourdebate. Must be male, whitesupremacists? No, it is a whiteJewish male, a black woman,and two white women. Need-less to say she has turned themall down knowing she would begoing to “a battle of wits un-armed” and she will be exposedfor the ignorant fraud she is.

Here is what really scaresme: 1) a Gallup poll showed57% of Democrats polledagreed socialism is the way togo. 2) This means the greatestcountry and experiment in in-dividual freedom, rights, andprosperity for the individual topursue happiness is sure to endup as the Ministry of Truth thatOrwell talked about. How canpeople be so dumb? My firstjob was pulling a hundredpounds of newspapers up Cot-tage Street. Then I had theglamorous job of washingdishes at a nursing home at age

14 – so I could make my firstpayment to the IRS for Medi-care and Social Security. I don’tthink Ocasio-Ortez had thesame experience in Westchesterand that is why her fellow so-cialists are so breathtakinglydumb.

The corollary of socialismis Marxism and communism,where in all instances the gov-erned are ruled by thestrongmen. This will get youout of your woes with the peaceof the grave. Let’s run down thedeath count in several “socialistrevolutions”. USSR (Stalin – 20million citizens murdered),USSR (post-Stalin leaders – 40million murdered), China (Mao– 40-70 million murdered“1958-1961 The Great LeapForward” – not sure why re-searcher did not include China’sCultural Revolution, in 1970’swhere millions were killed,Cambodia – Pol Pot 4,000,000murdered by their government,Yugoslavia – Tito – 1.15 million,North Korea and the Kims – 1.6million murdered & 4,000,000in gulags, Ethiopia – 1 Million,Rwanda – 1990’s genocide byJean Kambandu – 800,000, andon and on – all socialist revolu-tionaries. (see R.J. Rummels,PhD for data).

This is only the 20th century,and does not include Cuba,where the ’58 Chevy is highlydesired and Venezuela (one oflargest oil producers but no foodin the grocery stores to eat). Ifyou have a (D) after your namea person has a solemn duty tounderstand the ramifications oftheir vote. We, the people, havemore power in our hands thanany other country, ever. Pleaseuse it intelligently at the ballotbox. This is not your father’sDemocratic Party.

Don’t get me going on openborders. Ten Yemeni’s were cap-tured at the border recently AlQueda land). One suitcase nukewill kill millions of Americans.Get rid of ICE! What?

I grew up in a family of eightboys. There were never any gunsin the house. However, mymother was a staunch de-fender of the 2nd Amendent –the right to bear arms. Why,you might ask. She told meshe saw the Hungarians in1956 and the Czechs in 1968fighting Soviet tanks withsticks, the only weapon avail-able to protect their homelanddue to Soviet confiscation.Japan was unequivocal duringWorld War II, that they wouldnever invade the U.S. Main-land. Why, because every kid12 and up had a .22 caliberrifle (and school shootingswere unheard of). Think itthrough.

Denis DrummeyNorwood

During Tuesday night’s Selectmen’s meeting, a discussionof how Norwood conducts its repaving of roads took place, thegenesis being recent letters and emails sent to both the TownManager and Board of Selectmen from Kevin Pentowski, aresident of Plimpton Avenue, one of the roads recently repaved.

It was Pentowski’s contention that Plimpton Avenue hadbeen narrowed due to the repaving of it. He said that vehicles,particularly emergency ones, would either not be able to traversethe road should two cars be parked directly across from eachother on either side of the street or, at a minimum, have diffi-culty and be slowed.

Town Engineer Mark Ryan explained the road repaving pro-cess and, due to the use of a new berm design, the roads arebeing narrowed just a bit, but certainly not so much that ve-hicles couldn’t get by. He also explained they have been usingthis new berm for the last few years on a number of roads allaround Town and there had never been any complaints untilnow. He further went on that he and the Town Manager wentso far as to replicate the vehicle scenario Mr. Pentowski re-ferred to in his letters and watched as cars and trucks passedwithout a problem. Finally, he received confirmation from thepolice safety compliance officer and the NFD that they had noproblem with it.

It appeared that Pentowski’s complaints, explained awayby Ryan, were much ado about nothing. However, SelectmanBill Plasko didn’t write the issue off so easily. By his examina-tion of pictures taken by everyone, he correctly surmised thatvehicles would have to be parked literally on the berm for Ryan’sscenario to work, which is technically against the law. Ryan,appearing a bit perturbed, agreed that was the case.

It turns out the new asphalt berm the Town utilizes isn’t asround as the previous asphalt berm. The benefits are that itsuseful life is much longer and is cheaper to install. However,by design, it does narrow roads because of the real estate itrequires, and is less round than the previous berm, makingit easier for cars to simply slide over and onto it.

It was a smart move by Selectmen to request that bothRyan and Town Manager Tony Mazzucco review their cur-rent processes and come up with better solutions for futurerepaving. In the Plimpton case, Ryan estimated to correctthe issue would cost around $70k and, by default, perhapshundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars to redo ev-ery road narrowed over the last few years with the new berms.Needless to say, no one wanted to go down that road. Butone is left to wonder if a future tragedy should occur andemergency vehicles were slowed or stopped on these re-cently repaved roads, would the Town be legally liable some-how.

Kudos should be given to both Pentowski and Select-man Plasko; Pentowski for raising the issue and refusing tobe silenced and Plasko not mindlessly accepting the expla-nation by Ryan.

While on the subject of Selectman Plasko, this newspa-per owes him an apology for an editorial written a whileback concerning his doubting former Town Manager JohnCarroll’s recommendations to approve a $900k figure forrefurbishing Town Hall. We blasted him for doubting thefindings of a prior study done and Carroll’s expertise andtold him he needed to defer to the experts. Well, he wasright and we were wrong. It became obvious duringSelectmen’s conversations with the PBCC that Plasko wason target when he said back during Carroll’s days that therecommendations were flawed, and that the old building’srehabilitation would certainly exceed the $900k earmarked.We stand corrected.

PMA off to a fast startJefJefJefJefJeff Sullivf Sullivf Sullivf Sullivf SullivanananananStaff Reporter

The Norwood Marching Band is facing several competitions this fall, of which the group has won severalyears in a row.

COURTESY PHOTO

The Norwood Parents Mu-sic Association (PMA) and allthe music bands associatedwith the group are gearing upfor this year’s season of com-petitions and shows.

According to PMA memberEdward Ferris, the bands andtheater group have a lot ofwork to do this year. He saidthat the Marching Band will beparticipating in the New En-gland Scholastic Band Asso-ciation as well as the Massa-chusetts Instrumental and cho-ral Conductors Associationcompetitions, and he said thegroup just came back from theMusic Camp at CampTapawingo in Sweden Maine,which is an intensive overnightcamp designed specifically formusic.

The Celtic Strings, theMadrigals and the theatergroup also went up to thecamp.

“Paul Alberta first startedthe program,” Ferris said. “Hegot the PMA up and runningand one of the things hewanted to do back in the 70swas provide an intensive campfor the students who wanted tobe true musicians. We’ve car-ried it on ever since.”

Ferris said the camp has al-ways been a mainstay of thePMA, which works to makesure that music is available tostudents of any age or income.

“The PMA helps to subsi-dize the costs to keep it afford-able,” he said. “The campowner is very nice, and shehelped us keep it affordablebecause the week we use is al-ways at the end of the summer,which is after the regularcamps leave anyway. It makesit great for the kids. They getto go up to a camp and doswimming, hikes, camping,and it’s nice and quiet and se-cluded which means they canwork a lot,” and that is quitean understatement.

Ferris said the camp startsat 7:30 a.m. every morningwith breakfast, morning re-hearsal, a 10 a.m. break, morerehearsal, lunch, rehearsal, anafternoon break, more re-hearsal, dinner, and then somefree time, which he said many

of the students use for, youmay have guessed by now,more rehearsal.

The season for the March-ing Band starts this year withthe Norwood Day Parade onSept. 8, for which the band hasalready started rehearsing.Ferris said the kids don’t gettoo much time to enjoy theday’s activities, as they haveseveral competitions lined upfor NESBA and MICCA.

“We actually lead the pa-rade; the kids get to start ev-erything off, but it’s still aregular working day for theMarching Band,” he said. “Thekids have to set up around 7a.m. at the High School. Webring them down to the Libraryand they do their warm ups andstart off the parade. We imme-diately pack them all back upagain. They don’t get to stayfor Norwood Day, unfortu-nately, because they have acompetition the followingweekend. They continue prac-ticing for the rest of the dayright up until 3 p.m.”

They will also be perform-ing at the Norwood MustangsFootball game later that day.The NESBA competitions goon for Sept. 22, Sept. 29, Oct.6, Oct. 13, Oct. 27 and the fi-nal championship on Nov. 4.They will also participate inthe Norwood Veterans DayParade and the MICCA StateFinals on Oct. 28.

“We got a gold medal forthe MICCA Marching BandCompetition for the last threeyears in a row,” Ferris said.“We got a silver before thatand then we had gold medalsfrom the previous five yearsbefore that. The NESBA oneis even more; we have gotteneither the first or second placeprize for the last six years. Twoof those years we won and theother times we came in second.We literally lost by less thantwo-tenths of a percentagepoint. It’s a very tight compe-tition in NESBA.

Ferris also said the TheaterGroup will be kicking off itsthree-day show of the AddamsFamily Musical on Sept. 14 toSept. 16, “which I think is a re-ally weird selection, but that’swhat the kids chose to do,” hesaid. “My daughter, who doesthe marching band and the mu-

sical is trying to explain it tome and I just don’t understand,but I’m sure it will be a goodshow because the kids put a lotof work into it.... They’ll basi-cally be rehearsing everysingle day up until the showstarts.”

The PMA kids will alsocontinue to serve concessionsat the Concerts on the Com-mon. All concessions are $1and go towards funding trans-portation and other costs asso-ciated with the PMA. For moreinformation and a full sched-ule, go to http://norwoodpma.org/

Forbes Hill continued from page 1Howard agreed, but said he

doesn’t want to allow more than175 units, alluding to the origi-nal reason the Town bought theproperty in the first place.

Plasko added, however, thatany deed restriction would nega-tively affect the price for theTown.

“If it means a lot to the Town,you know if they don’t wantrental and only wanthomeownership, then we can goalong with it, but keep in the backof your mind the deed restrictionis going to affect the price,” hesaid.

The Task Force voted unani-mously to also recommend aparking garage allowance in thezoning overlay, though restric-tions on the size and number ofspaces would determined later.The Task Force also voted to putno historical restriction on thesite, including the Forbes Man-sion. Therefore, its future wouldbe at the sole discretion of the

highest bidder.“It would cost us dearly,” said

Judy Langone. “That would af-fect the value of the land.”

Howard pointed out that mostof the building has been used byModerna as an office and hasbeen renovated as such, whilelittle has been done to maintainthe exterior of the building, not-ing that the outside patios andverandas are nearly gone. Plaskopointed out that later, through aRequest for Proposal (RFP) pro-cess, they can award more pointsto proposals that want to keep thehistoric character of the building.Plasko pointed out that if no pro-posal promises to do that, theTown cannot require it after theRFPs have been received.

The Task Force also votedunanimously to recommend al-lowing medical uses, which in-clude laboratory work. Plaskosaid the Town Zoning already

allows for biotech laboratorieswithin the area’s current zoning,and he said he feels the spacecould be attractive to such com-panies.

According to Plasko, “Hav-ing Moderna and Corbus locatedin Norwood is a very positivefactor, because these firms dolike to cluster around eachother,” he said. “I lookedthrough our zoning book and italready allows for biotech labs.On pg 137 it clearly states dif-ferent uses and specifically men-tions pharmaceutical andbiotech uses.”

The Task Force also votedunanimously to recommend thatthere be a buffer of 150 feet (bar-ring recommendations fromTown employees) from theproperty line of the Massachu-setts Highway Division (whichowns property abutting Route1A) to keep the area in its natu-ral state and reduce visibilityfrom the road.

ZBA member John Perry saidhe was concerned about this aswell.

“I think it’s a wonderful thingthat the Norwood Hospital has agood reputation, but it’s kind oflike a lot of the auto dealershipsin Town,” he said. “They alwaysget awards. Now could they beputting up banners like ‘FordNumber 1 in Sales’? Are we get-ting into that same kind of sce-nario that whoever does well intheir business puts a sign out?Should I put a sign out in front ofmy office saying, ‘Doing Wellthis Year’?”

Hern pointed out that ahospital’s services are essentialservices, unlike auto dealerships.

“I don’t think that the hospi-tal operation is a commercialoperation in quite the same wayas a liquor store or a car dealer-ship, as the hospital provides es-sential services without regard tohow the person would pay for it,”he said.

Hern pointed out that the hos-pital has had temporary signagein the past, and that commercialenterprises have not sprung up

with signs covering every squareinch of the Town. He did concedethat they would come back to theZBA with a plan to notify theZBA of any impending sign andgive the ZBA a limited time toask the hospital to come in withits proposed sign and approve ofit.

Resident Judith Howard saidshe felt the hospital would be bet-ter served by placing advertise-ments and press releases in thearea’s newspapers.

“Everybody knows about theNorwood Hospital,” she said. Ev-erybody knows where it is, thefire department, the police, all theresidents know where the hospi-tal is, so if they would like to pro-mote their awards and every-thing, I think press releasesthrough the papers would bebest.”

Kelley pointed out that theycurrently have a monthly columnin the Norwood Bulletin/Tran-script, place ads for sponsorshipin the Norwood Football pro-gram and place public ads in theBulletin/Transcript.

“We do place ads in publica-

tions often and contribute tohealth and wellness news regu-larly,” she said.

The hospital will return to theZBA on Sept. 11 and is sched-uled for and 8 p.m. hearing.

Ask The DoctorThe SUV Craze Continues

KIA is building quality vehicles in all shapes and sizes, combined with a great warranty and greatdesign. This week I tested the new seven passenger 2019 Sorento with third row seating. TheSorento is not a big bulky SUV. The whole design has been geared toward the American marketwith a small front grill that blends into the LED lights. The side view is smooth with no sharp,angular lines.

Without having the opportunity to drive different vehicles every week, I would never have knownabout this vehicle. The base Sorento is a 4-cylinder FWD L model followed by a 4-cylinder LX, thenLX V6, EX V6, SX V6. Base price on the FWD L is $25,990 (plus $990 destination). Our fullyloaded, top-of-the line SLX test car’s MSRP is $46,490. The SLX has more standard equipmentthan SUVs costing a lot more, with LED lighting both inside and out, heated and cooled leatherfront seating, heated steering wheel, large touchscreen display, steering wheel controls, and verylarge panoramic sunroof. The 19-inch Michelin Latitude tires are quiet and have a flat contactsurface. The engine and transmission work seamlessly together while delivering 19 city, 21 highwayMPG. The engine is quiet, even under full acceleration, and the transmission gear changes aresmooth. Driver safety features are ample. The ride is smooth on any road surface; body swayaround corners is more like a sportscar. There are three driving modes and the sport mode is reallya mode for aggressive driving. The instrument cluster and dash has also been redesigned. Theleather seating is firm and supportive, again, as found in SUVs with higher price tags. If you are inthe market for a seven passenger mid-size SUV, the Sorento should be on your shopping list.
