 Car has been my daily driver for a while.  I will tell you what I know about it (I'm not a mechanic).

- I have kept the oil changed, changed the plugs recently.  Car starts first time, every time, runs like a top and has never failed me.

- It is fun to drive, and gets a look now and then.  Spring and summer days with the top down are the best.

- I am selling it because I have a new baby and with the four of us now, this car is a bit small.   I had to upsize.

The Good:

As I said, it starts up every time. 
It gets good gas mileage, up to 30 HWY if driven gently.
Has a very good set of tires.
A/C works great, even in the Alabama heat.
I have never had a mechanical issue with the car.
It is GREAT fun to drive.

The Bad:

The car has a small oil leak somewhere.  I put in a quart every three weeks or so, no biggie.
The convertible top motor is disabled.  I don't know if it's been disconnected or what.  The switch works, because the windows roll down automatically when you push it.  It's very easy to lower/raise by hand, so I just did that.  I didn't feel a need to get it looked at.
The driver's door handle was broken by an oil change "specialist", (thanks Wal-Mart).  I have a replacement handle that I have yet to put on.  If I don't get it on before sale, I will include it with the vehicle.

Vehicle sold "AS-IS" with no warranty implied.

Maserati Alfieri Concept lands on US shores ahead of 2016 production model

Sun, 17 Aug 2014

America, meet the next sports car from Maserati. This is the Alfieri Concept, and it made the trip from Europe to make its US debut during the 2014 Monterey Car Week.
The two-door originally made its debut at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, and has since made an ear-pleasing visit to the UK before it arrived at today's Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.
For those that need a refresher, the Alfieri is a 2+2 that will, when it arrives in 2016, be available with a 410-, 450- or 520-horsepower V6, with the latter two power levels coming with an all-wheel-drive system. The Alfieri Coupe will be joined by a convertible in 2017.

Ferrari to stop supplying Maserati with its engines

Thu, May 9 2019

The Ferrari Q1 earnings call was full of information, and perhaps the biggest revelation was that Ferrari is going to stop supplying engines to Maserati. CEO Louis Camilleri broke the news, and The Motley Fool posted a transcript of the whole call online. "Eventually, we will no longer supply engines to Maserati, which actually from our perspective is actually a good thing, both from a margin perspective, but also the fact that we can transfer a lot of the labor that's been focused on the engines to the car side of the business," Camilleri says. Maserati has used Ferrari engines (arguably, one of the most compelling reasons to buy a Maserati) in its vehicles since 2002, a little while after Fiat passed Maserati off to the prancing horse. The partnership continued as both Ferrari and Maserati were under the same house at FCA. Then when Ferrari was spun off from FCA in 2015, they kept the supply steady to Maserati. Those engines include a 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8, 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 and a 4.7-liter naturally aspirated V8. Camilleri said Ferrari will officially stop in 2021 or 2022, with no intention of supplying anybody with engines beyond that. Of course, this leaves Maserati high and dry with no engines for its growing lineup. Maserati will have to reach into the FCA parts bin, find a new outside supplier or develop its own engines. Battery electric sounds out of the question. As of now, there doesn't appear to be a clear plan going forward. We've reached out to Maserati to see if they have any comment on the situation as it stands.

2013 Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale gets its groove, seats back

Wed, 06 Mar 2013

The Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale was exclusively a two-seater, but here in Geneva, the big Italian coupe gets its rear thrones back. We don't know if the addition of rear passenger space will help improve sales of this special trim of the aging GT, but it's at the very least an excuse for Maserati to shine a few lights on its gorgeous two-door.
Under that rakish carbon fiber bonnet is the same Ferrari-sourced 4.7-liter V8 we've loved for years now, tuned to 460 horsepower in this application and mated to Maserati's MC Race Shift six-speed automatic transmission. Other updates for the MC Stradale include new 20-inch alloy wheels and a smattering of new materials inside the cabin.
Yes, it feels like we write about some version of the GranTurismo every time we attend the Geneva Motor Show, but this car still tickles our fancy each and every time. Scroll down for the press blast and check out the four-seater for yourself in the high-resolution gallery.
