CD Article: Maserati QP Sport GT test drive...

Why didn't the CD editor set up discussion on this?

I for one was very happy to see it, and the pics were very, ahem, arousing, to say the least!

(BTW, we need a "drool" smilie...)

:rofl:

Forgot this was one of your absolute faves.

It looks a little pieced together for me (the lights too small and oddly shaped, the body long but almost skinny) but in some unknown way it all does come together in a unique exotic way. The Ferrari of luxo sedans - an engine with a 4dr body wrapped around it of the same calibre.

 :drool:  <--there you are!

Only the "Main" story is posted on here, feel free to post about the other articles if you wish.  The second story of the day is not.  Can you guess who CD_Editor is?  Hahaha

Thanks for the heads up. Ever since I joined the forum I visit the front page less often.
Maserati makes some of my favorite cars (Biturbo ones = where's the drool smiley) and this one only confirms it. Yes, all of them have ugly looking parts, but they are all about having fun while driving. If I was ever going to spend lots of money on a car a Maserati dealer would be my first stop.

What's the relationship between CarTalkCanada and CanadianDriver?

We are like a subsiderary,  in an exchange for a Forum link on their main page we have their title story on our main page and a thread is created.  You registered in December after the split, this forum was originally a CanadianDriver forum with no other content, IE it was just a forum.  I took over the forum and converted it to some more modern software for speed and fancyness.

Our goal was to not only create a forum but an entire site with content as well in order to draw advertisiing dollars.  The problem with just a forum is the content cannot be properly targetted.  Manufacturers have issues with advertising on something they have no control  / input on.  IE: they don't want an ad that targets the newest VW Golf yet on the same page everyone is saying how shitty it is etc.

I have been putting in effort to get more content on the front page in the forum of Reviews, something a bit different from your regular review by using a blog where by readers can ask questions and provide their own opinions.  From the few manufacturers that have read my blogs they are impressed and like the format, I suspect this is why more advertising has come our way.

CanadianDriver is in full control of advertising and we share the profits or lack there of ;)
