blogentry-133713-0-47922700-1414943157_thumb.jpgAccording to AutoNews Europe, Maserati almost doubled its quarterly profit for this year to 90 million euros as compared to last year. This meant that it did better than Ferrari, who's profit came in slightly behind at 89 million euros.

The quattroporte is its second best selling model. Tripling its sales compared to the same period last year, expect the brand to do even better in the future with a new luxury SUV, the Levante coming up next year.

With the severe slow-down in China economic growth, I would not expect these super cars sales to fly as much as before...

  • A sole-ful tribute

    Car enthusiasts are an emotional bunch. So, I naturally develop feelings for things on wheels, be it four wheels or two. However, I was surprised to discover that I had become attached to my old pair of sneakers, whose soles are so worn that it hurts to wear them.  That is the unequivocal signal to retire them. But I must say "Thank you" before bidding them goodbye. The laceless design is convenient, saving time when you need to rush off in the morning Through thick and

    Japan is weird. I love it (Part 5)

    There are plenty of strange sports in this world. People running from bulls. People running after cheese. Power Slap.  But of course few places do weird quite like Japan. Introducing to you: Bo-taoshi.  The name means 'topple the pole', and that's exactly the name of the game. Except of course its never quite so simple.  You want teams? Oh, you get teams. 150 players, split into 75 offensive and 75 defensive - one holding your pole up, the other attacking another team to topple th

    Japan is weird. I love it (Part 4)

    I recently finished watching Shōgun (yes, I'm a little bit late to the party). Released earlier this year, Shōgun has become an utter revelation - going on to win 18 Emmys at this year's Primetime and Creative Arts Emmys, making it the most awarded single season of television in history. It's also the first non-English-language series to win Outstanding Drama Series.  And it truly is outstanding, fully deserving of all the awards that it has garnered.  As you would expect, the show rev
