Dead: Maserati Ghibli
Dead: Maserati Ghibli-October 2024

2022 Maserati Ghibli Trofeo

The Maserati Ghibli is going away in 2024. A Maserati rep confirmed to that the Ghibli will be discontinued in 2024 to make room for a Quattroporte electric vehicle.

Maserati earlier this year, and they’re pretty optimistic. The brand expects to have a full electric lineup by 2025. The first of these new EVs will be an electric version of the recently introduced crossover coming next year.

The death of the Ghibli though isn’t surprising. In revealing its EV plans, it was hinted that the sedan’s recent refresh would be its last. Maserati CEO Davide Grasso said the brand needed “a sedan, not two sedans.” Maserati Australia general manager Grant Barling that the Maserati is taking the same approach Acura did with the TL and TSX, by blending two cars into one. “The plan is for the Ghibli and Quattroporte to become one. So the Quattroporte will become a short-wheelbase [model] – Ghibli-sized, but called a Quattroporte,” he said. I’m not sure why this wasn’t done from the beginning.

The Ghibli hasn’t been without its own problems either. as a way to boost the brand’s sales volume, the car has had some questionable reliability over the years. It’s one of the reasons why it’s so popular with the balling on a budget crowd. just five or six years old with less than 40,000 miles can be found all day for $30,000 and under.

The Ghibli also isn’t the only thing Maserati is losing. In the move to an EV lineup, the brand is also dropping its admittedly excellent Ferrari-sourced 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8.

At $8,600, Would You Go Topless In This 1994 Cadillac Eldorado?
The seller of today’s Caddy claims they should be selling it at auction but says who’s got time for that? Let’s see if we have the time for this custom convertible at its non-auction price. Many of you agreed that the $950 asked for yesterday’s was “chump change.” Even...

The (and Tacoma) have a death grip on used values. It’s been this way for years. Go ahead, go try and buy any TRD trim that’s a couple of years old; it’ll cost you as much as a new one — not that you could buy a new one...

According to its seller, today’s Nissan 4X4 shows “pride of ownership.” Let’s see if it would take swallowing one’s pride to pay its asking price. Opinions were split on how well the design of yesterday’s has held up over the years. Some of you commented that the design still...
