Dear Cadillac, I am young(ish), trendy (somewhat), and a discerning consumer of automotive sheetmetal. According to you, I am precisely the audience you want to target. But you’re not doing it right. I’m in the market for a car this fall, but you are not on my shopping list. Would you like to know why? […]

Comeback Kid
posted by Motorista
So peeps, here’s the deal. This posting once or twice a month gig is not working for me. I miss you guys, plus there are too many rants to be ranted, opinions to be opined, and photographs to be taken to do this on a monthly basis. So…I’m making a comeback! Starting now I’m going to […]

Howdy, race fans! It has been much too long since we’ve had a chat.

Rock Me Like a Huracan
posted by Motorista
The Lamborghini Gallardo is dead. This is sad. Actually…no, it’s not. ‘Cause check out its replacement: Meet the Lamborghini Huracan. Here are some numbers that might interest you: 601 hp. 5.2L V-10. 4-wheel drive. Zero to 62 in 3.2 seconds. 325 kph. That’s the top speed. Someone convert that to mph and tell me what […]

First Look: Maserati Ghibli
posted by Motorista
As part of my Maserati weekend in Sonoma, I got the opportunity to see the new Maserati Ghibli, which will be hitting dealerships later this month. I mentioned in an earlier post that the Ghibli should be a game-changer for Maserati. Here’s why. Last year, Maserati sold 6,200 cars. That’s not terrible for a luxury […]
