The big shock is an article in Bloomberg that shows Maserati sales up 9.9%:

That must be because the Granturismo was just released earlier this year, effectively doubling their production - so a 10% increase in sales is OK.

Thanks for the article.

Interesting to know that Aston Vantage sales are down 20% wow.

Michael 996TT is infamous around these parts

Porsche sales are down considerably too ... the SUV has been the top seller all year ... it is a different world market.

This still does not mean these cars are free ...
