Saturday, June 7th | Utica, NY
The Steet Ponte Auto Group was proud to once again support one of our favorite community events—Wine in the Wilderness at the Utica Zoo! Held on a beautiful Saturday evening, June 7th, the event welcomed over 1,000 guests for a night of wine tasting, food, music, and wild animal encounters.
As the official Designated Driver Sponsor, we were thrilled to help promote safe and responsible fun by handing out $15 Uber gift cards to the first 100 attendees who pledged to be a designated driver. Helping guests get home safely is a mission we take seriously, and we’re proud to continue making that possible through events like this.
It was a perfect night at the Zoo, and the atmosphere was made even more exciting with the debut of their brand new dinosaur exhibit! The lifelike animatronic dinosaurs were a huge hit and are a must-see for kids and adults alike. If you haven’t checked it out yet, make sure to plan your visit before the exhibit wraps up in October.
While you’re there, don’t forget to stop by the Gibbons exhibit, proudly sponsored by the Steet Ponte Auto Group, as part of our ongoing partnership with the Utica Zoo. Supporting local attractions and safe community events is what we’re all about.
Thank you to everyone who came out to Wine in the Wilderness, and to the Utica Zoo for continuing to host such an unforgettable event. We’ll see you again soon!

The 2025 Lincoln Aviator vs. the 2025 Lincoln Navigator: Midsize vs. Full-Size SUV at Your Lincoln Dealership
If you’re on the hunt for a new family vehicle at your local Lincoln dealership, your choice may come down to the 2025 Lincoln Navigator or the 2025 Lincoln Aviator. Both models are excellent options for family fun and adventure with spacious seating, powerful engines, and thoughtful, practical features. Explore the highlights of each model to see which Lincoln SUV is right for your daily driving needs.
If size and seating capacity are the most important factors to consider, then the larger-than-life Lincoln Navigator is ideal. The Navigator is a full-size luxury model with a seating capacity of seven or eight, depending on your preferred second and third-row seating features. The original Navigator has a cargo capacity of 22.9 cubic feet with all seats upright, while the Navigator L can hold a minimum of 37.4 cubic feet.
The Lincoln Aviator has a standard seating capacity of seven, but can seat six with certain feature upgrades. This model offers 19.2 cubic feet of cargo space with all three rows upright and a maximum cargo capacity of 78.6 cubic feet with the rear rows folded flat.
Seating Features
Comfortable and configurable seating is essential for each Lincoln Model. The Navigator has standard power-folding second-row captain’s chairs with a pass-through space for easy access to the power-folding third-row bench seat, which can fold with a 40/20/40 split. Drivers can upgrade to a power-folding second-row 40/20/40 split bench with heated outboard seats. This model has heated second row seats and heated and ventilated front seats.
The Aviator Premiere has standard captain’s chairs in the second row with a mini console between the seats for in-cabin organization, as well as a power-folding third-row 50/50 bench seat. Heated second-row seats are standard for this model. On the Aviator Reserve, drivers can upgrade to a 35/30/35 split-folding second-row bench seat for additional seating capacity.
Technology Features
Each Lincoln model is equipped with Google Maps capability as a standard feature. Google Maps allows drivers to plan detailed routes, such as avoiding highways, and even helps drivers locate points of interest along the way to find rest stops, hotels, restaurants, gas stations, and more. Both of these premium SUVs are also equipped with a Lincoln Connect 5G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot for seamless media streaming on the go.
The Navigator comes with a 48-inch panoramic instrument cluster and an 11-inch central touchscreen, as well as a standard 28-speaker Revel Ultima 3D audio system with standard HD Radio streaming. The Aviator can also stream HD Radio. The Aviator Premiere has a 10-speaker premium audio system, while upper models have a 14-speaker or 28-speaker Revel audio system.
Each of these three-row Lincoln SUV models is an ideal match for busy families on the go. With similarities in connectivity technology and convenient seating configuration, picking the right model for your lifestyle may come down to size and cargo needs.

Steet Ponte Auto Group Donates $10,000 to Hospice & Palliative Care in New Hartford, NY
At the Steet Ponte Auto Group, supporting the Mohawk Valley community is at the heart of everything we do. We are proud to share that we recently donated $10,000 to Hospice & Palliative Care, a vital organization based in New Hartford, NY, that provides compassionate care and support for individuals and families facing serious or end-stage illnesses.
Representing our team, Joe Steet Jr., Carly Steet Mathias, and Steve Ponte Jr. had the honor of presenting the check to Mary Bogdan, CEO, and Joanne Moskal, CIO, of Hospice & Palliative Care. This donation helps further the organization’s mission of serving patients of all ages from newborns to individuals over 100 years old, throughout Oneida, Herkimer, and Madison counties.
Touring the Siegenthaler Center: A Home Away From Home
During our visit, we were given a tour of the Siegenthaler Center, a unique four-bed end-of-life residence that adjoins the main Hospice building on Middle Settlement Road in New Hartford. Opened in February 2005, the Siegenthaler Center offers a home-like environment where patients and their families receive expert medical care and emotional support during life’s most delicate moments. It was a moving experience to witness firsthand the love, dignity, and comfort that Hospice brings to those in their care.
Proud to Give Back to the Greater Utica Area
This donation is part of Steet Ponte Auto Group’s continued commitment to giving back to organizations that uplift and strengthen the Utica and New Hartford communities. We are deeply inspired by the work that Hospice & Palliative Care of New York’s Mohawk Valley Region does every day, and we’re honored to support their mission.
