Don't like the idea of a diesel Maserati. Sure it would boost sales but IMO doesn't belong to them.

 

Dammit, I need to see the new GT!

 

I clicked on the link and thought "why is there a Buick in the picture"? ....

 

Funny I thought something similar, but more of "Wow thats a really hot Buick" !

 

First the Maserati Gran Cherokee and now the Maserati Lacrosse - diesel. WTF happened to Ferrari's little brother?

 

time to sell my one month old MC stradale.

 

^ You should definitely sell it before the clutch goes. Just replaced mine yesterday for $4500!

 

95% sure that rendering is not accurate.

How many miles? In city traffic/stop & go driving, I would imagine the clutch is not going to last but 10-15k.

 

I got 33K out of it and I could have easily milked it for another 3-5K. When I told the Ferrari service manager that I had never replaced the clutch they didn't believe me and looked up the service records on the car. They said that the most anyone had gotten before me was 26K. I drive the car probably more aggressively than anyone else and use Sport mode probably 50% of the time. BUT. . . I almost never downshift in city traffic. I almost always shift to neutral. And that has allowed me to save a substantial amount of clutch wear.
