Daily Podcast: Bifurcating Podcasts

post from The Truth About Cars on 22 September 2008 04:06:32 PM. © The Truth About Cars

We’re trying something new here at TTAC. Some folks really love the Farago + Berkowitz podcasts that focus more on industry and on what’s in the TTAC news. Others said that while they liked those, what was really up their alley were podcasts where I just had your average bar talk with Lieberman about cars. [...]

GM Making Progress On Dealership Trim

post from The Truth About Cars on 22 September 2008 04:06:31 PM. © The Truth About Cars

We’ve long held that in order to return to a sound financial footing, GM needs to cut a huge number of dealerships from its bloated portfolio. The General is still working on the “huge number” part, but having already cut 226 dealerships this year, things seem to be headed in the right direction compared with [...]

Bailout Watch 62: Supplier-Side Stimulus

post from The Truth About Cars on 22 September 2008 04:06:31 PM. © The Truth About Cars

Much of our ire at the proposed auto-industry bailout has been reserved for the OEMs, but their supplier co-dependents are pushing just as hard for the pork picnic. Automotive News (sub) reports that Lear and Visteon were among a dozen suppliers who joined the D3 lobbying efforts in DC last week. Bosch spokeswoman Cheryl Kilborn [...]

Everybody who grew up playing the original Nintendo Entertainment System knows the Konami Code: up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, start. It’s seared into my memory from years of Contra. Well most of us are now grown, and we’ve moved on to bigger, more expensive toys, like [...]

More pictures of Maserati at Goodwood Revival

Maserati GB were once again present at the tenth anniversary running of the Goodwood Revival meeting, this year celebrating 60 years of the Goodwood Motor Circuit in front of a record-breaking crowd of 124,000 spectators over the course of the weekend.

Eye-catching examples of the Trident Marque were out in force throughout the weekend with a total of 13 classic Maseratis thundering around the circuit. Some of the very rarest Maseratis were involved in the wheel-to-wheel on-track action including two Maserati 4CMs and two iconic Tipo 61 Birdcages to name but a few.

Away from the thrilling on-track action, Maserati exhibited in the Earls Court Motorshow, recreating the glamour of an authentic 1960s show. A stunning Maserati Mistral, on loan from celebrity chef and Maserati aficionado James Martin, alongside a Quattroporte (Mk I) wowed the spectators, whilst they were offered a tantalising glimpse of Maserati?s ?cars of the future? in the form of the GranTurismo S and Quattroporte S that flanked their 1960s counterparts.

During the course of the Goodwood Revival weekend, Maserati GB hosted a series of exclusive events for its clients: on Friday a cocktail party at Goodwood House for all the drivers and their guests, followed by a private dinner, and on Sunday 140 guests were treated to sumptuous hospitality and could admire a selection of both modern and classic Maseratis. The spectacular display on the lawn in front of Goodwood House offered guests the opportunity to see the Quattroporte?s evolution in the flesh, with every model in the history of the Trident Marque on display. The Quattroporte I of the 1960s, the exceptionally rare Quattroporte II of the 1970s, of which only 12 were ever produced, the more modern Quattroporte III and IV were accompanied by the Quattroporte V and Maserati?s very latest Quattroporte S. The stunning GranTurismo S in pearlescent Bianco Fuji completed the Maserati line-up.
