Maserati wants you to know that even though they are building a hybrid, it's still going to feel like a Maserati. Former Maserati CEO Harald Wester said last year that the Levante would get a plug-in hybrid model. Because of the low expected volume, the Levante's system will come from the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid plug-in . But even thou

We've already given you a preview of the new Maserati Levante SUV , which Maserati says has more emphasis on the sport than the off-road ability that other luxury SUV's promise. Well Maserati has now announced pricing for the new Levante SUV, and you can even go build your own on their site. The Levante starts at $88,900. That's if you want

Italian exotic car manufacturer Maserati has recalled five examples of its Ghibli and Quattroporte models sold in 2014 because the "gear shift position indicators and warnings may not be sufficient to deter drivers from exiting the vehicle when the transmission is inadvertently left in a gear other than 'park'." At issue, we believe, is the el

Palermo, Sicily – Soon after getting off the plane in Palermo for the 2017 Maserati Quattroporte launch, I got hit by a Scirocco. Not the Volkswagen kind, but in fact that car’s namesake – a hot wind that blows off the deserts of North Africa. This was a new kind of hot. Forty-freakin-seven degrees Celsius hot, along with a blasting wind that sucks

Maserati today revealed the 2018 Granturismo coupe, wearing new, more aerodynamic styling and sporting a more modern interior built around what the manufacturer calls a state-of-the-art infotainment system. The unveiling took place in front of the New York Stock Exchange, where the new car was lined up alongside the rest of the brand's lineup, and

One of the most interactive auto shows in the world happened this past weekend in England. The Goodwood Festival of Speed brings together stars from motorsports, classic and modern vehicles, and a race up the driveway of the Duke of Richmond. Here's a look at some of the best debuts and the fastest runs up the hill. The Volkswagen I.D. R won the

He’s best known as “Bubbles” from the hit cult TV series, Trailer Park Boys . But now, actor Mike Smith is dumping his trademark Coke-bottle eyeglasses to play himself in the new flick, Swearnet , which chronicles his adventures with cohorts-in-crime Robb Wells and JP Tremblay – aka Ricky and Julian of the Trailer Park Boys – as they launch a p

Ferrari Quebec, Montreal's flagship dealer in Italian exotics, has had one of its busiest years thanks to the rapidly growing Maserati lineup that now takes up significant floor space in its 45,000-square-foot facility.  It's neither a Ferrari nor a Maserati that brought me to their Jean Talon location this past week, however – it was actually a th

Giorgetto Giugiaro’s name is synonymous with automotive design greatness. But don’t try to tell him he’s an artist. He was raised by artists – painters, to be precise – and that, in combination with spending his youth in the northern Piedmont region of Italy, the home of such marques as Fiat and Lancia, created the perfect storm in which to cult

Auto industry trade organization Wards Auto has named seven first-time winners to its 2017 list of the best vehicle interiors, including new models from Alfa Romeo, Buick, Mini and Subaru.

Subaru has recalled 2016 Legacy and Outback models for a steering column flaw that could cause a loss of steering control.

In the current automotive climate where blandly designed grey SUVs and crossovers have become ubiquitous, this Misano Blue 2019 Alfa Romeo Stelvio definitely stands out from the pack and makes a statement. The colour, the sound, the styling, plus the fact that Alfa Romeo hardly sells any vehicles in Canada, means that the Quadrifoglio seriously t

General Motors and Toyota have recalled more vehicles to replace faulty Takata airbags. The Toyota/Lexus campaign now covers more than 400,000 vehicles in Canada, including the Corolla, Matrix, Sequoia, Tundra, and SC 430. That figure is up from 366,860 covered in a 2015 recall, and a big jump from the 75,000 included in Toyota's original Ta
