Even Maserati Is Doing a 10-Year Drivetrain Warranty Now
Even Maserati Is Doing a 10-Year Drivetrain Warranty Now-March 2024

Maserati Levante MC Edition Blu Vittoria

We all know the age-old stereotype that keeps many of us from touching any Italian car with a 10-foot pole: they’re unreliable. It doesn’t help that the performance of many of these cars is impressive and can be had for cheap used. Mostly because buyers are wary to buy them new. Maserati, one of the exampled Italian brands that people have long viewed as unreliable, is looking to change people’s perception. The brand is now offering 10-year powertrain warranties on all new vehicles to give customers a little peace of mind.

Called the , this new drivetrain coverage will extend over a decade, and includes everything from the engine to the transmission. What’s surprising is that this coverage is offered in addition to another warranty extension that goes out five years.

Coverage starts October 1st here in North America. According to the brand, t’s available for any and all Maserati owners who own a vehicle or, “Within nine years and six months from the registration date, with no mileage limit.” So presumably, that 2014 Ghibli that Starbucks barista picked up at the “Buy Here, Pay Here” lot for $23,000 with 75,000 miles on it would be covered.

With Maserati being the luxury brand that it is, this new warranty coverage comes with a few other perks such as home pickup and drop-off and more, though Maserati didn’t really divulge much on what exactly the “more” was.

The Italian automaker says that the program will allow owners peace of mind and value. “This new service enables Maserati to provide all its customers with an innovative offer, adding value in terms of unparalleled flexibility in the automotive world.”

I’d certainly say the new program could be essential in changing the image of the brand. Honestly, something like this might bring more people to the Trident who were on the fence over whether or not their Maserati would leave them stranded on the side of the road.

For $1,500, do you want fries with that?
For $1,500, do you want fries with that?
If you should choose to dine exclusively at fast food joints, you will likely shorten your life by decades, and when you do die, you will require a hearse with Kenworth on its grille. In contrast, today's Benz W123 can sup on the dregs of burger joints with impunity, but...

2012 Hyundai Veloster: First Drive
The 's some strange hybrid of an Aston One-77, Saturn's unlamented three-door SC2 and the beloved Honda CRX. Who'd have thought such a combination was even possible, let alone be a recipe for the most compelling economy car in a largely uninspiring market. Hyundai wanted us to drive the 2012...

George Clooney and Alejandro deTomaso share something in common - they're both known to have stuck something American into an Italian beauty. And while today's ‘72 Pantera may be no Elisabetta Canalis, it's price might make it within the reach of more than just Dr. Ross. Hey, you got your...

For $1,400, take the former Daimler-Chrysler merger to its illogical conclusion
For $1,400, take the former Daimler-Chrysler merger to its illogical conclusion
There used to be this joke, back when Mercedes' parent corporation bought Chrysler, that went something like this: how do you pronounce Daimler-Chrysler in German? Daimler, the Chrysler is silent. Today's SL500-bodied Sebring is no joke, but will the price make you wonder if the seller is serious? Speaking of...

For $5,200, the Accordamino could steal your heart
Perhaps due to their ubiquity, the 1994 Honda Accord is consistently in the top ten list of most stolen vehicles in the U.S.. Today's Accord Pickup will standout in a lineup, but is its price a steal, or a crime? Not criminal, but Crack Pipe, that was the consensus yesterday...

For $4,700, it’s a wolf in Scirocco clothing
Somewhat incongruously there's a based in Wolfsburg, Germany that is named after a ‘70s American TV show - Grizzly Adams. Today's Scirocco is both a Wolfsburg edition, and pretty cool, but will its price ice the deal? Not German, but Italian-American, yesterday's still proved to be not only cool, but...
