Ghibli Aims to Put Maserati On the Map

04/29/2013 by Noah Joseph

Ferrari, Spyker and Aston Martin stand resolutely in the latter. But then there are those in between: automakers that don't sell quite as many cars as the mainstream marques, but are determined to step out from the margins and into the big leagues. Maserati is one such marque. ... (Read More)

Where buyers once correlated large with upscale, more and more � in Europe especially � have begun demanding smaller vehicles that can better negotiate crowded city streets (and gas-pump prices), without skimping on the accoutrements. It�s a trend that drove BMW to produce the 1 Series, Audi the A1 and A3, Mercedes-Benz the A-Class and Lexus the CT200h, to name a few. But those are just starting points for these upscale automakers which are rapidly downscaling the size ... (Read More)
