    Maserati Unveils The Ghibli Before Shanghai

    April 9, 2013

    Maserati has pulled back the curtain on their new vehicle, the Ghibli sedan. The new Ghibli is Maserati's contender in the midsize sedan market and will be shown at the Shanghai Motor Show later this month.

    The Ghibli looks to be a scale-down version of the new Quattroporte, both inside and out. Maserati says the new Ghibli will utilize a pair of tubrocharged 3.0L V6 engines (one gas and one diesel) both mated to eight-speed automatic transmissions. Rear wheel drive is standard with Maserati's new Q4 all-wheel drive system available as an option.

    The Ghibli will play a major role in Maserati's plan to reach 50,000 vehicles sold by 2015.

    The all-new Maserati Ghibli to debut in Shanghai

    09/04/2013 - Modena

    Maserati has released the first official images of its upcoming four-door sports executive sedan in advance of its debut at the Shanghai Motor Show later this month.

    The all-new Ghibli is set to break new ground for Maserati.

    The Ghibli will have a sportier character compared to the larger Quattroporte, launched at the beginning of this year. The Ghibli will be available with two turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 engines, an eight-speed automatic transmission and both rear-wheel drive and the new "Q4" all-wheel drive system.

    The Ghibli will also become the first Maserati production car in history to be powered by a diesel engine, with a 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel.

    It is Maserati's first sedan in this segment and reflects the company's belief that a growing number of premium executive car buyers are looking to make an individual statement through a car that is distinctive, elegant and luxurious.

    The Ghibli will play a significant role in Maserati's growth plan to sell 50,000 cars per year.

    The front looks pretty bad ass, but I don't think will make any serious threat to the Germans. Probably will just take away sales from the Quattroporte, since this is cheaper and not so huge.

    GMC Upsizes the Acadia for 2024; New 2.5L Turbo-4

    GMC caused a stir in 2016 when it downsized the Acadia in 2017 from its previous near-Yukon length. That downsize brought the Acadia down to be inline in size with the contemporary Jeep Grand Cherokee.  In the years since, the Grand Cherokee has grown and GMC is matching that with the 2024 GMC Acadia. Inches matter in this class and in that the Acadia gains (back) 10.6 inches in length and 3.2 inches in height. That equates to 80% more space behind the third row and 36% more space behind th

    Ford updates the 2024 F-150 with More Standard Power, More Hybrid Production, and a New Tailgate

    Tonight at an event ahead of the Detroit Auto Show, Ford unveiled the updated 2024 Ford F-150. Starting in 2024, the F-150 will drop the base 3.3-liter naturally aspirated V6 in favor of the familiar 2.7-liter Ecoboost V6.

Ford expects to double the mix of hybrid a
